DMT - The Forbidden Ancient Substance That Was Classified By The CIA
Imagine discovering a secret key to the deepest mysteries of the mind and time travel itself. That's what happened when the Beat Generation stumbled upon DMT in the 1960s. They called it "The Businessman’s Trip" because it was fast, intense, and didn’t last long—perfect for people with busy lives. But what seemed like just a quick escape from life's pressures turned out to hold secrets far beyond anyone’s imagination.
Back then, scientists and doctors were just beginning to explore the complex world of psychedelic drugs. Yet, their research was often met with fear and legal challenges. Take John C. Lily, for instance, a daring neuroscientist who conducted secret LSD experiments with dolphins, funded by the CIA in a hidden lab. Or Carlos Castaneda, an anthropologist who ventured into Mexico to study with a shaman who used peyote mushrooms. His book, "The Teachings of Don Juan," sparked a huge interest in peyote, overshadowing DMT. However, by the late 1970s, the CIA decided to halt all research on hallucinogens, casting a shadow over this mysterious world.
But the story didn't end there. In 1990, Dr. Rick Strassman, a brave and curious professor at the University of New Mexico, received rare permission from the DEA to study DMT. Even more astonishing, he was allowed to test it on humans. What he discovered was beyond his wildest dreams. In his own words:
DMT, it turns out, is naturally produced in our bodies and in plants. Strassman believed it was deeply connected to our evolution. The pineal gland, often overlooked, was considered by philosophers like Descartes as one of the most important organs. In Hindu tradition, it’s known as the Third Eye, believed to grant people extraordinary vision. Driven by this, Strassman set out to uncover the true power of the pineal gland and its connection to DMT.
So, what exactly is DMT? This simple chemical unlocks the door to breathtaking visions, thoughts, and feelings. It exists in humans, animals, plants, and fungi. It's especially abundant in plants from Latin America, where people have known about its powers for thousands of years. Early explorers like Spruce and von Humboldt witnessed Amazon natives consuming DMT. They saw the natives twitching, vomiting, and speaking incoherently after drinking a concoction called ayahuasca, meaning "spirit liana." These explorers brought samples back to Europe but didn’t dare try them themselves.
Fast forward to 1990, when Dr. Strassman began his groundbreaking research with human volunteers. Over five years, he administered doses of DMT to 12 volunteers—one high, two medium, and one low dose, along with a sugar-water placebo. He navigated a maze of legal and bureaucratic hurdles but finally received DEA approval, along with the necessary drugs.
What he found was astounding. Dr. Strassman discovered that a pregnant woman's pineal gland releases a significant amount of DMT exactly 49 days after conception, which he interpreted as the moment the spirit enters the fetus. Even more fascinating, DMT affects not just how the brain creates perceptions but also how it receives information. This means that what people see or experience during a DMT trip is not just their imagination—it’s a reality. Dr. Strassman suggested that DMT could help our brains perceive dark matter, parallel universes, and realms with conscious entities, opening doors to scientific discoveries that usually require expensive equipment.
Ancient people already knew about DMT long before it was discovered by modern science. Over 6,000 years ago, prehistoric people in Spain depicted mushroom use in their cave paintings. These drawings show shamans in out-of-body experiences. It's astonishing that different ancient cultures around the world drew the same strange beings, likely seen during their psychedelic journeys.
The ancient Egyptians, for example, often depicted themselves smelling blue lotus flowers, which are rich in DMT. This flower allowed them to communicate with animal entities, influencing their religious beliefs and even the architecture of their magnificent structures. The controversial pharaoh Akhenaten and his famous wife, Nefertiti, created a whole new religion based on Akhenaten's visions after using this flower. He received instructions from these entities to build a city in the desert, where there were hidden natural wells and underground water. Everyone thought he was crazy, but he built a thriving city and a new religion around the sun god Aten, who guided him.
