DMT and the Psychedelic Renaissance | Nick Glynos | TEDxUofM

Psychedelics have the ability to induce profound altered states of consciousness.

The use of DMT has been quite therapeutic for me and I'm using PE for spiritual and mental gratification.

Upon my first shroom trip, my depression disappeared overnight. It shifted my perspective on the way I viewed myself. It showed me that I was stuck in one way of thinking. This was unhealthy mentally and it was affecting me physically. Within 6 months of the trip, my chronic lower back pain disappeared, I'm sure it was due to tension and stress, and hasn't returned. I haven't been seriously sick since then and that was just about 3 years ago from the time of this writing. The oneness and awareness of the self within the psychedelic experience provides a wonderful opportunity to reset and shift your mental position for the better if used constructively and intentionally in the right mindset (of healing, forgiveness, and love) and setting (a comfortable and safe place, I recommend being outside in nature).

Thank you for reading and know that there is more to you than you may think. This is a beautiful life and you may as well enjoy it for the brief time we're here.

Psychedelics have definitely changed my life and the way I perceive reality in many ways. My conclusion love is the ultimate power. And live life and everyday to the fullest.

Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space. It’s wonderful and the fact they serve recreational use and health as well. Can’t say I don’t trip once in a while.

DMT and Psychedelics in general have done what hundreds of hours of PTSD therapy couldn’t. I went from being on 31 pill daily for mental states to 0 over the course of 13 weeks. Like everything in the world. It’s not for everyone and experiences will certainly vary. Me and my friends approached it from a lens of healing and learning and it’s exactly what we got out of it.

Love!

My personal experience with DMT, I was literally taken into another dimension, time was stretched, i was aware that i was dead. At this moment as youre reading this you are aware that you are alive, whilst on DMT you are friken aware that youre dead. Time was almost endless, when i got up after 15minutes i thought i had been gone for millenniums. I did hear beings telling me its ok, not to fear that they are with me, no i did not see them. After that trip i knew what another dimension meant, you cannot make sense of it there are too many things to grasp, your senses are all intertwined. I was part of everything i could feel everything.

Please be aware DMT is not an easy thing to experience it is incredibly overwhelming.

[Tenr]

the fact that ted and youtube actually let this slip through is so awesome. Can’t wait to see this renaissance unfold in my lifetime...this is my most hopeful thing to have happen.

[foresterforester]

Every time while 'coming down' from DMT I would think to myself: This is what I forgot when I was born.

[kathleenhandron]

Wonderful to see a young man who is so smart and normal speaking out for psychedelics and mentioning pioneer Dr. Grof.

[WilliamChris-gibk]

my first experience was really great! I loved it.

[darkillasest]

I was saying it for long time now. Psychadelics, meditation / spirituality and science together is the fastest way forward for human development as a whole. Human apes decided owning material stuff is far more important. What a sad story…

[astroman]

So are y’all ready to unblock Graham Hancock‘s Ted talk on psychedelics or ???

[edwoo]

Slowly but surely this is becoming more known and accepted. I've known about this for years and people still think I'm strange when I talk about it, like I'm making it up or am an advocate of getting wasted! Psychedelics can definitely heal the mind. Like all drugs though it isn't for everyone.

[mattclark]

You can always see the people that have had that experience. It’s all in the eyes I hear it in your voice trying to keep it together life is beautiful!

[cyprokka]

Dmt is by the far the most interesting psychedelic.

[Diego_]

DMT is definitely the best trip I’ve ever had. Was really amazing!

[ordinaryperson]

This presentation was simply impressive. Straight to the point and not a single word wasted! So well done!

[steveganz]

DMT is definitely the most insane experience I’ve ever had. I researched a lot before hand and have had around 10 breakthroughs. I don’t think anything no trip reports, pictures etc can prepare you for the experience.

It’s very intense and difficult to convey the sheer alienness of the experience. For those interested I highly suggest you try and experience It atleast once in your life time. Just be prepared !

[Widderic]

DMT is the easiest psychedelic to consume and by far my favorite. I don't have time to trip balls for 6-12 hours anymore. I can smoke DMT, trip for 20 minutes, and get a wonderful nights sleep before giving a presentation at work the next morning. I have anxiety and was scared to try it my first time, but the effects come on so quickly that it's impossible to even feel anxiety because of the loss of ego.

I've seen incredibly beautiful chrysanthemums, impossible shapes folding into themselves, giant aztec mazes, the list goes on. I've learned more about myself and solved many of my problems from revelations I've had while under it's effects.

It's absolutely incredible and everyone should give it a try before they leave this earth.
