The traditional indigenous use of DMT in the Amazonian visionary decoction, ayahuasca, known as the \u2018vine of the dead,\u2019 has a long history of shamanic use to transcend time and space and communicate with the spirits of nature. Most people experiencing a breakthrough dose of DMT report encounters with seemingly sentient, intelligent and independent entities, which typically convey a convincing sense of their reality, such that a recent survey found that of those having such encounters who reported being atheist before their experience, more than half reported that they were no longer atheist afterwards. This talk explores the intersection between the scientific, therapeutic, psychonautic, and shamanic exploration of the DMT realm and attempts to fuse these disparate and yet overlapping cosmologies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Dr David Luke Date: 30 March 2022 DMT: Indigenous gateway to the soul and endogenous reality thermostat?
