Common question. The issue is that a congenitally blind person has no conception of what it’s like to see, so determining whether or not they’ve seen something during a DMT is a challenge. But this report (abridged) from the DMT Nexus might suggest it’s possible if the visual…
@alieninsect Do you have any cases with a person who was blind from birth using DMT to see if they can see the other dimension?
If your local bookstore (like mine) doesn’t have it, tell them to order it (like I did) Great book. Great title Even though @alieninsect and I both know it’s not a “drug” 😅🙌🏽🧬👽💪🏽
Andrew Gallimore, author of Death by Astonishment: Confronting the Mystery of the World's Strangest Drug, is featured on my website this month. His book tells the story of DMT, which begins in the Amazonian rainforest and ends somewhere beyond the stars. grahamhancock.com/gallimorea3/
With each iteration, the temporal delay between the emergence of a transformative technology (wheel, books, clocks, computers, LLMs) and that technology being touted as revealing the true nature of reality tends to zero… But does it tend to reality? God is an LLM token…
What if your thoughts aren’t your own? Professors Elan Barenholtz and William Hahn propose that language is not a tool we use but a self-generating organism that uses us. In this mind-bending live discussion at the University of Toronto, they argue that language installs itself…
Called it.
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
Thank you! 🙏
Death by Astonishment by Andrew Gallimore Just finished reading Death by Astonishment by Dr. Andrew Gallimore. Incredible book. It felt like reading a really well researched biography, only the biographical subject was our favorite substance, DMT.
@alieninsect has written an absolutely excellent book, please read it and follow him on X. I will have more to say about it as well as aiming pen a 5* review soon. amazon.com/Death-Astonish…
Danny Goler’s experiment involves DMT users looking through a laser projection—with most discovering a matrix-like code hiding in our reality. Some believe this is evidence of living in a simulation. Neurobiologist and DMT expert Andrew Gallimore disagrees. He shares a very…
One such occasion — when Richard Spruce first encountered ayahuasca in 1852 and subsequently gave the vine its Latin moniker — is described in the first chapter of Death by Astonishment… One hell of a party and a good time was had by all.
One of the oldest & most traditional ways to consume ayahuasca is together with mountains of coca powder, cigars the size of baseball bats, and countless foaming jugs of beer... The dancing must not stop until the last drop of beer has been drunk... The Amazonian all-nighter.
Thank you!! 😀👽👹👈
@alieninsect Absolute 5/5 book. This is some nobel prize territory. I can't wait to follow your continuing research using DMTX Keep on kicking ass
