What is DMT?

THIS SHORT description, courtesy of http://www.wisegeek.com, is a very brief and simple account! The subject deserves a great deal more. Probably words alone could never do the DMT experience any kind of justice. Look at http://www.erowid.org  I can especially recommend DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Dr. Rick Strassman. For an immediate sample of some amazing first-hand accounts, see sidebar, under Pages: DMT: Six Accounts.

Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a powerful psychedelic drug, a type of tryptamine alkaloid. It is a naturally occurring substance, found in various plants and animals, and in small quantities in the human brain, where its function is unknown. DMT is famous for its power. Though the psychedelic trip it creates only lasts 5 to 30 minutes when smoked, the effect is profound and remarkable, with the feeling that the user is transported to a completely different place, immersed in kaleidoscopic sounds and images. In its pure form, DMT is a white to yellow crystalline solid.

2012 – The moment of transformation

See Sidebar: Pages: 2012 references

THE WORD IS spreading about 2012, and is likely to keep spreading in the years to come. In several prophetic traditions that are already well known, and in others that are coming to light, the years 2011 and 2012 appear again and again as the End of Time, when sweeping changes are expected to transform all of human consciousness, lifting and accelerating it into new and “higher”states of spiritual awareness and action.

On a planet that has yet to catch up with what Einstein and Planck wrote about 100 years ago, and with the main premise of quantum theory – that the universe is composed not of solid “realities” of matter, but of frequencies of energy – and that continues to doubt the infinite creative power of the individual mind, (much less of many minds united in the “100th Monkey” paradigm), it’s inevitable that most of the early scare stories about 2012 emphasized the cataclysmic Earth changes that some expect to see, and the profound dislocation of human life in all areas: physical, social, political, economic, cultural.
