What is DMT? 🪬

 

Dimethyltryptamine is a natural chemical substance that is produced in many plants and animals, including humans in the liver, lungs, and pineal gland. Despite occurring naturally in us, it is famous for being the strongest psychedelic and has a reputation for inducing the biggest changes to our perception of reality. Also, it has been found that when someone dies, the brain releases DMT.

Common effects of DMT include leaving the body to another realm/dimension that seems more real, fractal, and complex, where people have interacted with other entities, feel more knowledgeable and think more clearly. Physicists have found that the human eye can only see 0.0035% of reality, and so many believe that DMT opens us up to some of this unseen reality.

For example, many people recall interacting with a female entity that they ask questions and she shares knowledge. this is touched on in Shane Mauss videos further down the article (videos 2 and 3). Another example is people meeting the “cosmic serpent of knowledge that knows everything” and even “the creator of the universe” which is touched on in comedian Paul Smith‘s experience in video 6 further down the article. Paul Smith’s friend who also smoked DMT says he “knew everything” at one point.

People that experience DMT often explain that it takes them to a place where there is no time as it is not bound by space and time like the reality we experience. Also, some ask about this and get answers like, “What is time if you have already lived through multiple eternities?” (with eternities being that place or the afterlife?).

It is also common that people feel like they know the place, that they’ve been there before (“before this life”). It is said to feel homely and people feel that they will return there (“after this life”). People often say that entities experienced are benevolent and are pleased to see them like family. They say things like they “have been waiting for them”, that the person “must go back” and that “they will see them again”, communicating with thoughts; “It’s like they communicate a feeling to me and my mind puts it into words like an intuition”.

DMT experiences can also include going through a tunnel/wormhole and seeing a bright light (similar to near death experiences), then seeing geometric patterns. These are captured in our article on DMT artwork and DMT (and ayahuasca) simulation videos here. Also, experiencing an even greater presence than the other entities that is all loving is often mentioned. This presence has been described as masculine and people have believed this to be God.

Geometric patterns are discussed by ancient knowledge researchers such as Robert Edward Grant and can be seen in the image below.

People who smoke DMT say it lasts around 15 minutes (but the experience tends to feel like longer) and those who drink ayahuasca, a natural DMT brew, say it can last hours. Our DMT simulations article can be viewed here, and our ayahuasca article here.

Lessons Learned from DMT 🧠

 

There are a lot of quotes that can be taken from the videos in this post. Here are some that touch on lessons learnt from DMT:

“I smoked DMT 5 years ago and It was the most powerful thing I will ever do. I have spent the last 5 years processing that experience. It made me question everything. This world seems less real than the other side. I no longer fear death. Words can’t describe it all. We are just meat avatars for our spirits. I wish everyone had to do this as a right of passage in our society. The world would be light-years ahead of where we are now. The governments and religions are keeping this from the people.”

The video below touches on, 10 lessons I learned from the DMT breakthrough experience:

1) Life is an infinite mystery that extends far beyond anything we could ever fathom

2) Consciousness is not produced by the brain

3) ALL IS ONE | ONE IS ALL

4) ‘I Am That’

5) Reduced fear of death

6) The gift of this lifetime

7) Pantheism and the sacredness of life

8) The Great Awakening of Humanity

9) Machine elves and life beyond earth

10) The importance of integration

 

DMT Trip Reports 🧿

 

Check out videos below of DMT stories from people that have experienced and/or researched DMT, including some from Comedy Central (the first two videos).

Videos 1 & 2 – Shane Mauss of Comedy Central’s DMT Experiences – Cosmic Girlfriend & Entities Separate to His Mind/Consciousness

Shane Mauss of Comedy Central explains an experience where he let’s his friend take DMT and in his friend’s trip, the entities there were talking about how they “hang out” with Shane a lot (because he has taken DMT multiple times). This was to his surprise as he rationalized his experiences as being “in his head”, but his friends experience suggests otherwise (third video in this article).

Shane and others believe that they have met God on DMT, this is also mentioned in videos 6 and 7 that follow comedian Paul Smith’s experience (video 6). Also, in video 10 Holden Lee says he smoked DMT and met the same entity from his near death experience (NDE), suggesting that this is another realm that isn’t just experienced through DMT.

Both videos explore extreme altered states of consciousness induced by DMT, highlighting:

• The collapse and reconstruction of perceived reality.
• Encounters with intelligent, possibly autonomous entities.
• A strong sense of meaning, connection, and familiarity.
• In the second story, a puzzling suggestion that these experiences might be shared or exist beyond the individual mind.

Video 1 Overview – DMT Took Shane Mauss to the Infinite Void (Tales from the Trip)

Comedian Shane Mauss recounts his first experience with DMT while in Dallas. He’s introduced to the drug after a show and is told it’s far more intense than psychedelics like mushrooms. Following instructions, he takes three hits from a bong, with each hit rapidly intensifying the experience:

• 1st hit – Reality starts to distort; he feels like a cartoon.
• 2nd hit – The universe appears to collapse; panic sets in.
• 3rd hit – A sense of calm, then complete detachment from reality.

He enters a void, then travels through a tunnel of fractals into a “computer-like city” made of code and light. In this space:

• He encounters an intelligent presence that communicates without words.
• It shows him strange, symbolic visuals, seemingly offering insight.
• The experience turns humorous when it reveals a random cartoon cat joking with him.
• The trip ends abruptly, and he returns to normal, stunned but clear-headed.

In summary, he experienced:

• A sudden breakdown of reality.
• An encounter with seemingly intelligent entities.
• Overwhelming, surreal visuals.
• A mix of awe, fear, and humor.

Video 2 Overview – DMT Always Shows Shane Mauss the Same Purple Woman on His Trips (Tales From the Trip)

Shane describes later DMT experiences, focusing on one particularly profound and mysterious trip. Over time, he becomes familiar with visiting other dimensions and interacting with beings, though he initially assumes it’s all in his mind. During one trip:

• He witnesses a 1950s-style family scene that collapses into a movie set, suggesting reality is staged or artificial (like ‘The Truman Show’).
• The universe then tears open, revealing a “purple fabric” dimension.

In this new realm:

• He works alongside another version of himself maintaining a portal or gateway.
• He later enters a carnival setting, where he reunites with a mysterious purple woman he feels deeply connected to across lifetimes.
• She reassures him that everything is okay and life is cyclical/repeating.
• She transforms into fractals that become the universe (and him) before the trip ends.

The most striking moment comes later:

• A friend tries DMT for the first time and independently reports seeing the same carnival and purple woman.
• The woman delivers a message to Shane through the friend, implying shared or external reality beyond his mind.
• The friend also encounters beings who recognize Shane’s voice as he speaks to his friend, reinforcing the eerie overlap.
• Shane is left with no explanation, continuing to encounter the purple woman in later trips.

In summary, from his DMT trips/experiences he sees:

• Reality as illusion or constructed experience.
• Recurring entities and emotional connections.
• A sense of cosmic repetition and unity.
• Unexplained shared experiences between different people.

More on DMT Entities 👾

 

Here is a video where the entities/beings of DMT are explained with reference to religious texts including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. Near death experiences are also compared with DMT experiences in this video:

As mentioned, DMT is said to be secreted from the pineal gland. Our article on the pineal gland can be viewed here and our DMT simulations article can be viewed here, and our ayahuasca (the natural DMT brew) article here.
