DMT Ayahuasca Would You Try These Drugs?

Actually you already have trace amounts of DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) in you. It's naturally abundant in plant life and found in many mammals. The Pineal Gland, in the center of your brain, secretes some DMT during REM state of sleep when dreaming occurs. It's also believed to excrete during Near Death Experience, which may account for the visions some people report during NDEs. Modern science is still unsure of its exact purpose, though they relate it to neurotransmitters and hormones like serotonin and melatonin--while mystics and even a few doctors such as Rick Strassman, study it, use it for rituals and refer to it as the Spirit Molecule.

Why do we want to experience altered states? Deep question--won't get answered in a few paragraphs. Some people try drugs out of simple curiosity, common choices like alcohol and marijuana where the prevalence in society makes us feel safer. Other drugs may be relatively known but scare most people away as with methamphetamine and heroin. The horror stories and overdoses aren't worth the risk for the majority of us. Then there are drugs that fall into grey areas, especially psychedelics like LSD or mescaline, where the average person is intimidated but might be coaxed into trying.

DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) and Ayahuasca (an Amazonian brew containing DMT) are among those grey area drugs--many have never even heard of either while others are curious but would probably have major reservations before experimenting. That's understandable since takers often describe life-changing trips. Even among enthusiasts, DMT is a profound mystery. Commonly reported effects include: fast response, buzzing sounds, geometric patterns, visitation by angels-insects-aliens-spirits of the natural world, portals to other dimensions, connection to infinite wisdom and moments of enlightenment. Some Amazonian Indians use the drug through the plant-based brew, Ayahuasca, as a part of ritual designed to bring awareness for personal purpose and to the nature of life itself.

This is why DMT and Ayahuasca may be so intimidating, from the reports of deeply spiritual, life-changing experiences. Do I really want to delve into the purpose of my existence? Do I really want an experience that might change who I believe I am? These are not easy questions for any person to face head on. See the two videos below: the first is a general intro to DMT, and the second is in-depth and really well done documentary on Ayahuasca at 25 minutes by Alexander Ward.

Reincarnation? Do You Believe in Past Lives?

How do you feel about reincarnation, life after death, being born again or remembering past lives? A polarizing topic for many, belief or doubt over reincarnation may point to what we want to believe more than anything.
The video below is a fascinating story of a very young child, James Linegar, and his puzzling memories especially from ages two to four of airplanes, aircraft, friends and events during World War II.

If you believe in reincarnation, why do you suppose it happens? Leave your thought or comment.

Yasiel Puig Vote In All-Star Game 2013

Yasiel Puig deserves it. Vote him in for the 2013 MLB All-Star game. The guy is simply amazing. Nobody has electrified baseball like this since Bo Jackson, and we all know what memories Bo has left for eternity.

Puig could be another shooting star, just like Bo was when injury cut his career short. Don't let the one-month-issue keep this guy from the people who want to see him: the FANS, Papelbon.

Just one month but his stats and performances are mind-blowing, batting .443 with 8 home runs and 17 RBIs in 27 games. These 1st month of career hitting stats haven't been done since DiMaggio in 1936 or basically have never been done, plus he runs with prowess, has opposite-field power and has resurrected the Dodgers from life-support.

As Christopher Walken so eloquently said, "I got a fever and the only prescription is more Puig."

Want to see Puig get there? Go to the All Star Ballot at MLB and write him in (scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says, WRITE-IN).

Of course, it's up to the coaches to play him but we can do our part. Do the right thing, vote him in.

What are your thoughts?
