MY UNSANCTIONED RESEARCH PROGRAMME WITH DMT

I have no idea how many people have ventured to try DMT. Outside of its
underground following and outside of its interest to a small number of academics, the
number of people who have heard of DMT, let alone tried DMT, must be small to a
significant decimal percentage of population. That we all have an endogenous trace
quantity of this mysterious substance as part of our biology is all the more fascinating
when one has tested its powerful psychedelic properties. But even then, calling the
experience ‘psychedelic’ seems strangely inaccurate. It is not quite psychedelic in
the same way that LSD is psychedelic. Its ability to conjure up the most bizarre
scenery while one’s cognitive capacities remain largely unaffected, other than by
profound astonishment, makes it a somewhat unique if not overwhelming
experience.

It seems reasonable to surmise that Dr Rick Strassman’s government sanctioned

research with DMT, and the subsequent documentary directed by Mitch Shultz,
introduced a great many individuals to what Strassman has coined, ‘the Spirit
Molecule’. Without forgetting the greats, the rebels and the legends that preceded
Strassman – names such as: Stephen Szára, Timothy Leary, Terrence McKenna
and Nick Sands – I suspect it will be Strassman who is remembered for vicariously
introducing DMT to the masses. And it was through Strassman’s research and
Shultz’ documentary that I first came to hear about DMT. Following extensive online
research – reading the accounts of others posted within relevant internet forums – I
eventually decided to try my hand at extracting DMT crystals from mimosa hostilis
root bark, and inhaling the vapours from a makeshift pipe.

My online research into the DMT experience led me to believe that I would somehow
be rapidly whisked away to an alien landscape, or a bizarre dimension populated by
elves and goblins; a realm where unspeakable wonders are commonplace. But my
very first success with DMT was inhaling the vapour from what must have been just
a few milligrams, while sat upon my bed one sunny Saturday morning. With very
great rapidity there was a sudden amplification of a high pitched sound in the midst
of my head. I was immediately taken aback by such an obvious display of power.

But what then caught my attention was the fact that the entire room – even the air
within the room – looked so incredibly crystal clear, and the countless protrusions
from the decorative finish upon the ceiling were all spangled in dazzling spectral
colours. I did not appreciate it at the time, but behind even those relatively mild
effects was a realm of science beckoning for investigation and rational analysis.
What was that sound amplifying in the midst of my head? Why would the room
suddenly seem wrought in crystal clear clarity? And what could possibly cause such
dazzling spectral colours to radiate from the decorative protrusions upon the ceiling?

In the months that followed I continued to investigate the effects of DMT from the
comfort of my home. I was happy to undertake this research without any supervision,
and really, the only person I could have asked to watch over me was my wife. It is
true that no amount of reading can prepare you for the experience. I witnessed
strange and impossible things that totally confounded my rational senses. There was
much shaking of my head, and many incredulous mutterings along the lines of:
“Impossible, that is simply impossible – impossible ... impossible ... impossible!” And
yet time and time again the impossible would manifest and trample over my rational
senses. It did indeed seem that I was actually venturing into another world, or
another dimension – a place peopled with strange humanlike entities; a world filled
with impossible to describe scenery and objects that defy explanation; a world that
looked very different to this world, but yet one that looked strangely far more real
than ordinary everyday reality. What on earth was going on?

I decided to investigate by establishing my very own research programme. Knowing

the seriousness of this commitment I decided to make a few lifestyle changes and
duly commenced my unsupervised home-based research programme with vaporous
DMT. My sole intention was to try to understand exactly what was occurring in the
experience, and how it was occurring. I had no thought to publish my research at
that stage. I stopped frequenting the usual DMT internet forums – so as to avoid the
influence of others – and from October 2013, I set to work. There were, of course,
influences that would shape my thinking. I had a longstanding interest in esoteric lore
and occult philosophy. Those interests were likely formed early in my childhood, as a
consequence of several paranormal experiences, such as out-of-body excursions
around the family home at night time.

In three years of research I undertook some 650 individual experiments with DMT. I
was not setting out to take frequent heavy doses, or to go further than anybody else
had gone; my intention was simply understand the mechanics of the bizarre
experiences. I implicitly understood that I was dealing with something of truly
profound proportion; a mystery in which we were still operating at the data-collection
stage. And I wanted to collect data and analyse that data in order to understand what
was going on.

Speaking for myself, based on the doses, the experiments undertaken, and my
reflections and analyses of what I have experienced, the truth is both surprising and
unsurprising. One should not be surprised to find that one is dealing with individual
spiritual entities in this research. Whether one is ready for the truly devastating
power that some of these beings are able to impose is another matter. I can
categorically state that I have not undertaken any intergalactic travels, either in my
body or out of my body. I can categorically state that having significantly amplified
my consciousness with DMT, I have suddenly found myself immersed and
enveloped within the mind of a spiritual being, whose own imaginative fancies have
imposed upon my perceptions – and certainly given me the impression that I was in
another realm, or another world, or another dimension.

I can categorically state that these beings have the capacity to manipulate one’s
psyche and induce ecstatic states of laughter unlike anything you have ever
experienced. I can categorically state that these beings have the power to convince
you that you are dead. I can categorically state that these beings have the power to
undertake the most bizarre invasive operations within one’s physiology. I can
categorically state that I have cried and bawled like a little boy at what has been
done to me. I can categorically state that I have experienced the unbelievable
bountifulness of my own consciousness spiralling out of me and filling the sky high
above me. I can categorically state that in my small back garden I have attracted and
seen vast and phenomenally configured spiritual entities that look like they have no
earthy business down at ground level. I can categorically state that my outdoor
research has attracted what many would describe as earth lights, or black orb UFOs.
I can categorically state that I have been: entertained; tricked; terrified; left
awestruck; dumbfounded; perplexed; and initiated into a way of thinking that would
otherwise qualify me as doolally.

But life goes on! I go to work and I love my family. But I am not the same, and I
never will be the same, because like other dedicated psychonautical explorers I have
experienced something that profoundly challenges the very fundamental foundations
of western culture and western science, let alone one’s own ontological compass. It
is not that change is coming, because change is already well underway. I cannot and
would not be so conceited as to pretend that I have all the answers. Indeed, despite
my best efforts, I contend that I have not even scratched the surface of this
unfathomable mystery. Hence, may I encourage other dedicated psychonautical
researchers to move toward publishing the findings from their own research
programmes, so that we may further progress in the data collection stage?
