A clinical psychiatrist explores the effects of DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known.

• A behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of psychedelic research.

• Provides a unique scientific explanation for the phenomenon of alien abduction experiences.

From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U.S. Government-approved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected sixty volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. DMT, a plant-derived chemical found in the psychedelic Amazon brew, ayahuasca, is also manufactured by the human brain. In Strassman's volunteers, it consistently produced near-death and mystical experiences. Many reported convincing encounters with intelligent nonhuman presences, aliens, angels, and spirits. Nearly all felt that the sessions were among the most profound experiences of their lives.

Strassman's research connects DMT with the pineal gland, considered by Hindus to be the site of the seventh chakra and by Rene Descartes to be the seat of the soul. DMT: The Spirit Molecule makes the bold case that DMT, naturally released by the pineal gland, facilitates the soul's movement in and out of the body and is an integral part of the birth and death experiences, as well as the highest states of meditation and even sexual transcendence. Strassman also believes that "alien abduction experiences" are brought on by accidental releases of DMT. If used wisely, DMT could trigger a period of remarkable progress in the scientific exploration of the most mystical regions of the human mind and soul.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fascinating and provocative. A remarkable exploration of the boundaries of science and consciousness itself."
"Rick Strassman's pioneering research work with DMT, a natural psychedelic drug used by Amazonian Indians, raises fascinating questions about the neurochemical basis of experience and the feasibility of conducting human research with mind-altering drugs in a university medical center. Truly adventurous reading!"
"This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the mind, philosophy, the nature of reality, and spirituality."
"DMT: The Spirit Molecule points the way beyond the present impasse of the reigning 'drug abuse' paradigm."
"The most extensive scientific study of the mental and perceptual effects of a psychedelic drug since the 1960s."
"Strassman's important research contributes to a growing awareness that we inhabit a multi-dimensional universe."
"Strassman raises vital questions about the origin of spiritual experiences and the nature of consciousness."
"DMT: The Spirit Molecule is a fascinating journey into the research of psychedelics. . . . The questions and possible explanations about the endogenous presence of DMT that he raises not only enlarge the discussion about psychedelics but also expand our understanding of the nature of consciousness."
"This book will be of profound interest to . . . anyone with a deep interest in the study of consciousness, visionary states and/or psycho-pharmacology."
"Strassman's psychonauts regularly found themselves hurtled into alien laboratories, high-tech nurseries, and Day-Glo hieroglyphic hypercubes."
"DMT: the Spirit Molecule is an enriching journey into one scientist's courageous attempt to solve a bit more of the brain/mind/spirit mystery at the center of human existence."
"What you will find is a thoughtful, well-written report about another of life's mysteries."
"Strassman's research was an important step, one that will potentially illuminate the path for future researchers and volunteers alike, and this book is a great contribution to the ongoing dialogue surrounding psychedelics."
"This is probably the most thorough book on the psychedelic, DMT--its history, chemistry, uses (legal and illegal), and its effects. This is a very compelling, thoughtful book, written by a scrupulous scientist with the soul of a meditator."
"The account of the project is an excellent inside view of human drug studies, especially those with psychedelics."
"This book is a highly readable, intriguing, provocative description of Rick Strassman's theories and research concerning the effects of DMT."
"Rick Strassman's experimentation with the psychoactive substance DMT is taking up where Leary's 1950/60's LSD experiments stopped."
"[Strassman's] account, written more for the layman than the specialist, is ground-breaking, and raises the interesting question as to what is truly a psychedelic experience."

Thorough, engaging, bravely honest journey into the complications surrounding psychedelic research on human subjects, as well as participants' experiences with DMT.

Another reviewer noted that the narrator mispronounces words so frequently that he creates a distraction from the content. This reviewer wondered if anyone else was bothered by this, and in my case, the answer is YES:

Off the top of my head, words such as pineal (mispronounced "PIE nal"), denizens ("DEN zians"), nucleus ("NOO kyoo lus"}, undoubtedly ("undoubtably"), literature (LIT uh chur), waking dream ("walking dream"}, and many others are mispronounced repeatedly such that I cannot believe this audio book was allowed out the door. I guess I'm spoiled, having listened to Graham Hancock read his own book Visionary just prior to this one.

Oh well, the content is worthwhile.

Wonderful content, distracting narration

almost impossible to listen to because of the fake voice. reading off the words from like some software program, it was absolutely terrible.

it was an artificial voice over. almost impossible

I applaud Rick for his passionate pursuit of the bridge between Science and Spirit. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting so future generations have a better chance to explore consciousness with psychedelic therapies. Thank you!

Well Done!

this was a fantastic book! I was especially pleased and impressed at how Dr. strassman was able to keep the "spiritual" (for lack of a more appropriate term) side of this DMT investigation as logical as is feasibly possible when dealing with something with such obvious contours and features which reside outside the scope of modern investigative science.

phenomenal!

If you are looking for information that lights upon experiences with DMT and the struggles both inner and outer of putting together a live study with participants that come from different backgrounds then I highly recommend this book.

Great listen!
