DMT→The Inner Path to Other Worlds
CosmicContinuum (twitter) The molecule DMT (dimethyltryptamine) is a psychoactive brain chemical that causes intense visions and can induce one to quickly enter a completely different "environment" that some have likened to an alien, astral, or parallel universe. The transition from this world to that occurs with no cessation of consciousness or alteration of the quality of awareness. In this environment, beings often appear who interact with one flooded with DMT. Those beings would appear to inhabit that parallel realm. The DMT experience feels like reality in terms of detail and potential for exploration. The creatures encountered there are often identified as elflike or alienlike. Some of the creatures appear to be 3-D, whereas others appear to lack depth (sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickov...).

Meeting the DMT Aliens


What DMT Aliens look like: My experience

(Dakota of Earth, April 1, 2017) Here is Dakotawint's experience with DMT beings. The intelligences that exist in these trances or altered states of consciousness, he says, are to him the most intriguing thing about the deep psychedelic experience. (Cosmic serpents are nagas, and psychedelic entities or astral beings are "light beings" called devas in Buddhism).

DMT dangers, risks: Trickster elf entities

(OurTimelessWisdom) DMT: Risk vs. Reward: the cost of seeing what we are not ready to see:

Rupert Sheldrake on elves, visions

DMT entity mystery breaks science: What are they? | Dr. Andrew Gallimore

OurTimelessWisdom(OurTimelessWisdom) The DMT Entity Mystery That Breaks Science: What Are These Beings? 👁️

DMT entity Machine Elf (Tricky Woo)
If these beings are real — science is over. Every time someone smokes DMT, that person meets the same thing: "machine elves," DMT entities. What are they? They are hyperdimensional beings who laugh, welcome you, trick you, and teach you. Who are they? And why do they act like they’ve known visitors forever?

🔍 This video rewires how we understand consciousness, intelligence, and the mind. In this rare, mind-bending interview, Dr. Andrew Gallimore — computational neurobiologist and the author of Alien Information Theory — breaks down the DMT entity mystery in full.

This is not fringe speculation. It is a direct challenge to neuroscience, physics, and the very Jungian idea of a "collective unconscious."


Andrew R Gallimore (Amazon)
🧩 DR. GALLIMORE EXPLORES:
🧠 Why the “just hallucinations” theory fails
📡 How the brain may be receiving data from “elsewhere”
👁️ Why everyone sees the same machine elves during DMT trips
📖 The earliest reports in DMT science, echoing Terence McKenna’s lectures
🃏 Their bizarre behavior -- part guide, part trickster
🔁 Why they say: “Welcome back! We’ve missed you!”
🧪 How to use DMT as a consciousness technology — not a drug
🌀 Why even Carl Jung’s archetypes might not go far enough to explain what’s happening
👇 To the question asked, “Why do we all see machine elves on DMT?” — this is the video that finally confronts it.

🧠 WHO IS DR. GALLIMORE?
Alien Information Theory
Dr. Andrew Gallimore is a computational neurobiologist, chemist, and author of Alien Information Theory. He has spent over 20 years studying how psychedelic (entheogenic) experiences — especially on DMT — interface with the structure of our reality, the unconscious mind, and the possible existence of non-human intelligences.

He is considered one of today’s leading experts on DMT, altered states, and the neuroscience of visionary experience.

Are ancient Egyptian DMT entities dangerous?

Mysterious Middle East, May 19, 2022; Pat Macpherson, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Are DMT entities dangerous and what did the Ancient Egyptians know?
(Mysterious Middle East) Unlike Pharaoh Akhenaten's "blue lotus," Egyptian authorities in the 21st century say a modern-day pill called "the blue elephant" is a dangerous type of DMT (dimethyltryptamine), which can lead to madness and worse.

People who experience it say they travel to another dimension or world filled with strange entities. But where is this world and who or what are these entities?

Can quantum mechanics help us understand? And is DMT really as safe as everyone says it is?

DMT: The Spirit Molecule (the movie)

Dr. Rick Strassman, M.D.
(LINK: Part 1 of 5)
Dr. Strassman, M.D.'s overview from his book DMT: The Spirit Molecule

In 1990, I began the first new human research with psychedelic, or hallucinogenic, drugs in the United States in over 20 years. These studies investigated the effects of N, N-dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, an extremely short-acting and powerful psychedelic. During the project's five years, I administered approximately 400 doses of DMT to 60 human volunteers.

The book DMT: The Spirit Molecule (rickstrassman.com)

This research took place at the University of New Mexico's School of Medicine in Albuquerque, where I was tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry. I was drawn to DMT because of its presence in all of our bodies. Perhaps excessive DMT production, coming from the mysterious pineal gland, was involved in naturally occurring "psychedelic" states. These might include birth, death and near-death, psychosis, and mystical experiences.

Only later, while the study was well under way, did I also begin considering DMT's role in the "alien abduction" experience. The DMT project was founded on cutting edge brain science, especially the psychopharmacology of serotonin. However, my own background powerfully affected how we prepared people for, and supervised, their drug sessions. One of these was a decades-long relationship with a Zen Buddhist training monastery.

The Spirit Molecule examines what we know about psychedelic drugs in general, and DMT in particular. It then traces the DMT research project from its earliest intimations through the maze of committees and review boards to its actual performance.Our research subjects were healthy volunteers. The studies were not intended to be therapeutic, although all of us believed in the potentially beneficial properties of psychedelic drugs. The project generated a wealth of biological and psychological data, much of which I have already published in the scientific literature.

On the other hand, I have written nearly nothing about volunteers' stories. I hope these many excerpts from over 1000 pages of my bedside notes provide a sense of the remarkable emotional, psychological, and spiritual effects of this chemical.

Problems inside and outside of the research environment led to the end of these studies in 1995. Despite the difficulties we encountered, I am optimistic about the possible benefits of the controlled use of these drugs. Based upon what we learned in the New Mexico research, I offer a wide-ranging vision for DMT's role in our lives, and conclude by proposing a research agenda and optimal setting for future work with DMT and related drugs.

The late Willis Harman possessed one of the most discerning minds to apply himself to the field of psychedelic research. Willis, earlier in his career, had published the first and only scientific study using psychedelics to enhance the creative process. When I met him 30 years later in 1994, he was president of Institute of Noetic Sciences, an organization founded by the sixth man to walk on the moon, Edgar Mitchell.

Mitchell's mystical experience, stimulated by viewing the Earth on his return home, inspired him to study phenomenon outside the range of traditional science, which nevertheless might yield to a broader application of the scientific method.During a long walk together along the central California coastal range one day, he said firmly, "At the very least, we must enlarge the discussion about psychedelics."

It is in response to his request that I include highly speculative ideas and my own personal motivations for performing this research. This approach will satisfy no one in every respect. There is intense friction between what we know intellectually or even intuitively, and what we experience with the aid of DMT. As one of our volunteers exclaimed after his first high dose session, "Wow! I never expected that!"

Or, as Dogen, a thirteenth century Japanese Buddhist teacher said, "We must always be disturbed by the truth." Enthusiasts of the psychedelic drug culture may dislike the conclusion that DMT has no beneficial effects in and of itself; rather, the context in which people take them is at least as important. Proponents of drug control may condemn what they read as encouragement to take psychedelic drugs and a glorification of the DMT experience.

Practitioners and spokespersons of traditional religions may reject the suggestion that spiritual states can be accessed, and mystical information gained, through drugs. Those who have undergone "alien abduction" and their advocates may interpret as a challenge to the "reality" of their experiences my suggestion that DMT is intimately involved in these events. Opponents and supporters of abortion rights may find fault with my proposal that pineal DMT release at 49 days after conception marks the entrance of the spirit into the fetus.

DMT: The Spirit Molecule (complete film)

Enigmas of the Universe; Audible484; Ananda, Dhr. Seven, Pat Macpherson, Wisdom Quarterly


DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2010)
The Spirit Molecule investigates DMT (dimethyltryptamine), an endogenous psychoactive entheogen. It exists in humans and numerous species of plants and animals because it is based on the amino acid tryptophan.

The documentary traces Dr. Rick Strassman's government-sanctioned, human DMT research and its many trials, tribulations, and inconceivable realizations.

American Indian shamans know the way.
A closer examination of DMT's effects through the lens of two traditionally opposed concepts, science and spirituality, The Spirit Molecule explores the connections between cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics, and human spirituality.

Dr. Strassman's research and the experiences of the human test subjects before, during, and after the intense clinical trials raise many intriguing questions.

A variety of experts voice their unique thoughts and experiences with DMT within their respective fields. As Dr. Strassman's story unfolds, the contributors weigh in on his remarkable theories, including the synthesis of DMT in our brain's pineal gland and its link to near-death experiences.

DMT: The History and Truth of '"The Spirit Molecule"
(Audible484, Aug. 31, 2017) DMT, also known as "The Spirit Molecule," is a very interesting and complex psychedelic agent. From seeing gods (devas) to gnomes and aliens, a DMT trip can be the greatest and most profound experience in a person's life. I've done many psychedelics in my life, but for whatever reason I always waited for DMT. I felt like I didn't really deserve it yet, and I knew it was something I wanted to wait for the right time to do. I tried for the first time last month and wow. Not only was it a great glimpse into what DMT really is, it was also a huge eye opener. I really didn't know what I was talking about. I presented theories as facts, and I needed to fix it. So that's what this video is. I hope you all enjoy it while also maybe learning a thing or two. See sources below.

DMT: Buddhism and Psychedelic Science (video)

Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven, and CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly; interview with Dr. Rick Strassman by host Richard Syrett (coasttocoastam.com, 10-12-14); The Spirit Molecule

To get "high" means two opposite things, obtunding consciousness or expanding it (WQ).


Research psychiatrist Dr. Rick Strassman reveals his U.S.-approved research on the "psychedelic" entheogenic compound DMT. Of it he says that naturally occurring DMT is able to produce "prophetic" states of consciousness, so it represents a bridge between biology and Buddhist spiritual and Judeo-Christian religious experience.
 
"Horizons Perspectives on Psychedelics" - Dr. Strassman presents a talk on "A Western Perspective of the Psychedelic Experience and the Old Testament" with empirical evidence.
 
Dr. Strassman understands the "psychedelic experience" to be much more than a much over-hyped 1960's phenomenon. As a society we may be collectively grateful for those days. But perhaps DMT explains something where we would least expect it, the Hebrew Bible! Dr. Strassman addresses the prejudice many, himself included, have about it. More
Psychedelic Science 
Can psychedelics lose stigma, become viable treatment options?
KPCC FM (SCPR.org), Crawford Family Forum, Sept. 15, 2014, Pasadena

VIDEO: Psychedelic Science at the Crawford Family Forum (livestream rebroadcast)
 
Bjork says be wary of unseen beings!
Forty-five years after the federal government criminalized psychedelic drugs, new research into substances [entheogens and DMT stimulating substances] such as LSD, psilocybin (“shrooms” or “magic mushrooms”), and “Ecstasy” (MDMA, E, “Molly”) are showing them to be powerful therapeutic tools in treating multiple forms of anxiety and addiction, three medical researchers told KPCC’s health reporter Stephanie O’Neill on Sept. 15, 2014 at the Crawford Family Forum.
 
In fact, research into using psilocybin to treat anxiety in terminal cancer patients has progressed to the third and final phase of study, with trials around the country. And researchers believe it could be approved for use in therapy (with a trained doctor) within five to 10 years, said Dr. Charles Grob, chief of Child Psychiatry and professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine.
 
I saw lights in the sky, possibly ETs.
Powerful “psycho-spiritual epiphanies” induced by psilocybin, for instance “eliminated death anxiety” among cancer patients involved in the tests, said Dr. Stephen Ross, associate professor of Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at the NYU Langone Medical Center, director of the Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse at Bellevue Hospital, clinical director of the NYU Langone Center of Excellence on Addiction, and director of the NYU Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship.

“We see psilocybin as an effective treatment for existential distress,” Ross said. Test subjects who took the drugs reported the “psycho-spiritual” insights as being “one of the most meaningful events of their lives.”
 
These insights were particularly effective with addicts, who were able to finally understand the anguish their drug or alcohol use was creating with their loved ones. In tests in the 1950s through the 1970s, single doses of LSD were shown to promote sobriety among alcoholics for more than six months, Ross said. More  

Commentary 
Wisdom Quarterly
The underground inner sanctum, Cave 10, Ajanta, Maharashtra, India (Shaikh Munir/wiki)
 
Indeed, DMT may actually reveal the purpose of the Bible. But how does one study a "Hebrew" or biblical phenomenon? For one thing, it might be better never to refer to Palestine, Islamic corollaries, Essenes, Gnostics, the pre-JudeoChristian Eastern roots of the texts coming from faraway Central Asia and India, neighboring Sumer, Egypt, Babylonia, and Mesopotamia, and other traditions like Zoroastrianism and Mithraism. Instead, emphasize the Jewishness of the research endeavor.

"The Spirit Molecule" (DMT) weaves an account of Dr. Strassman's groundbreaking DMT research through a multifaceted approach to this intriguing entheogen found in the human brain and almost every other organic substance. Utilizing interviews with a variety of experts to explain their thoughts and experiences with DMT within their respective fields, and discussions with Dr. Strassman's research-volunteers, this film brings to life the awesome effects of this simple compound, di-methyl-tryptamine (DMT), and far-reaching theories regarding its role in human consciousness.
  
Buddha's parinirvana, Cave 26, Ajanta (BT)
Downplay the Buddhist angle that initially impelled your research interest in the psychedelic experience. Learn the miracle of how Dr. Strassman secured approval and funding from the DEA, FDA, NIH, and NIDA.

Dr. Strassman began with what he refers to as "a Buddhist" model," relying on his limited understanding of Zen Buddhism, a Japanese Mahayana school that began in China (or Korea according to Koreans). He had no apparent awareness of a well evolved Buddhist psychology within the older Theravada tradition, which relies on a synthesized body of work known as the Abhidharma (the systematically analytical and commentarial "Higher Teaching").

Map: overview of Ajanta caves (Nevilzaveri)
Zen is a form of Mahayana Buddhism, and Mahayana is steeped in Hinduism and Vedic/Brahminical ideas of GOD (Brahman, godhood) and God (Brahma), "enlightenment" (dissolving into impersonal Brahman), and liberation (rebirth with Brahman), all of which differ from what the Buddha taught. But the Brahmin priests of old did all they could to save their tradition from irrelevance by melding it with the suddenly popular and universal teachings of the Awakened One, the Buddha, whom they regarded as a foreigner from the West (Indo-Scythia beyond Gandhara).
 
Devas, "shining ones," have the power of transformation and are also human-hybrids.
 
Want to see beings of light? (Cortona)
What Dr. Strassman calls his "Buddhist model" may as well be called his Hindu model, which approaches Buddhism but is NOT actually in line with Buddhist teachings on anatta (egolessness) or the reality of devas (beings of light, ETs, earthbound fairies, celestial and interdimensional angels, lit. the "shining ones").

DMT in his scientific studies lead to the experience of unseen beings, dazzling light, and conventionally real worlds. What Strassman seems to have failed to distinguish is what Buddhism considers ultimate and conventional truth.
 
These worlds and experiences ARE very real in a conventional sense, as real or more real than our day to day experience in this world.
 
Ultimately, both are an illusion, but no one ingesting DMT is having an ultimately liberating insight, just an expanded state of consciousness. They are seeing more, but if any drug were able to liberate one, the Buddha and the arhats would be saying, "Never mind the meditation, the cultivation of virtue and concentration; just take this instead!"
 
Failing to understand Buddhism -- and its crucial distinction between ultimate and conventional reality and speech -- enough to incorporate it into his psychedelic research, Dr. Strassman reverted to his Jewish religiocultural roots.
 
He took up the Hebrew Bible and the Jewish (Sumerian, Mespotamian, Babylonian) conception of God (YHWH, the plural Elohim, etc. the many other gods of the Bible taken to be a monotheistic entity when many entities are described and named, with one almighty one, i.e., Abraham's God).
 
The Ajanta Caves
Entrance to Ajanta Cave 19
The  Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Website still presents the traditional dating: "The second phase of paintings started around 5th-6th centuries A.D. and continued for the next two centuries." Caves of the second period are 1-8, 11, 14-29, some possibly extensions of earlier caves. Caves 19, 26, and 29 are "shrine-houses" (chaitya-grihas), the rest monastic residences (viharas).
 
According to Spink (Ajanta: History and Development Volume 5: Cave by Cave), the Ajanta Caves appear to have been abandoned by wealthy patrons shortly after the fall of Harishena, in about 480 CE. They were then gradually forgotten (ASI). During the intervening centuries the jungle grew back, and the caves were hidden, unvisited, and undisturbed, although the local population were aware of at least some of them (interview with Walter Spink filmed at Ajanta in January 2012).
