I nicely compiled list of the “top” 50 depictions of drug use in films. Youtube clips of the scenes are included for your viewing pleasue.

Part 2 :

Researcher and author Graham Hancock presented his thesis that “supernatural” entities such as aliens and fairies are actually transdimensional beings that humans encounter during altered states of consciousness. The ability to shape-shift has been ascribed to both modern aliens as well as elves and other entities reported centuries ago, he detailed.

Around 35,000 to 40,000 years ago humans underwent a sudden change, and the emergence of cave and rock paintings are evidence of this, said Hancock, who noted that some of their depictions were of part human/part animal beings. He believes these represent the supernatural entities, and through altered states (probably due to ingesting psilocybin mushrooms) humans learned advanced skills from their encounters with these beings.

Nowadays, shamans commonly have such altered state communications. They feel humanity is at a crossroads– the West has lost contact with the spirit world, and many of the world’s woes are due to this, Hancock reported. As part of his experiential research, he traveled to South America and took the psychedelic plant mixture ayahuasca. During one such episode, he described a confrontation with an alien being, but rather than being an extraterrestrial, he suggested it inhabits another dimension that can only be accessed during an altered state.

This is a great description of the DMT experiance :

A nice DMT … Fan Site , if you will.

DMT

It goes by many names, direct mystical transmission, dream multiverse transport, divine magical tranciever. Whatever you want to call it, DMT is the thing that opens you the impossible question, the indescribable revelation and the divine mystery of existence.

Many a brilliant mind from Terrence Mckenna to Tim Leary and others have tried to convey the fact that right here, right now, behind every billowing curtain, under every sleeping eyelid and through all of existence there flows an incredible active intelligence of awe inspiring wonder, sacredness and affection for humanity and all sentient beings.

DMT is a mystery wrapped within an enigma, a mandalic gateway to the innermost depths of existence and one’s soul, a hyperdimensional rollercoaster ride into the realm of the imagination, the liquid palace where dreams are made and unmade, the 13 th dimensional candy store at end of time where the weavers of god’s tapestry sing, dance and play.

DMT is all of these things and yet none of them for words are like pale reflections of the transcendental diamond doorway which stands before and within, beckoning and calling softly in dreams and the imagination.

This chemical of revelation is what religions all point towards, it’s what all beautiful art tries to convey, what all of the greatest symphonies try to make you feel. DMT is your personal doorway, your connection to a filament of the divine, to the God/Goddess that lives within you and I and everyone.

With our mother planet slowly dying, with so much greed and so many crying, with wars raging and and nothing changing it doesn’t have to be this way. Let’s admit that we made a mistake, that science won’t solve everything, that the planet and humanity need help, let’s try a new path, a path of freedom, liberation and a connection with the divinity within us all.

This sacrament is here for a reason, it’s time to open our minds, open our hearts, dissolve belief systems and start being of service to all sentient beings and mother earth, we can change it all, we can go back to living freely and with real love. This place can be so much nicer, so much more wonderful, why do we continue to play this way?

DMT is the key, the doorway is our soul, care to enter?

Very nice article discussing the multitude of extraterrestrial communication reports received by humans experimenting with DMT.

Do people meet alien entities on DMT because they expect to meet alien entities? It’s not an idle question, it’s grounds for a fun experiment, too. From the Rodruigez paper:

To validate or falsify this hypothesis, the experimenter should perform a single blind study in which human subjects are used who have never heard of DMT and its extraordinary effects on the human psyche. These subjects are told that DMT inebriation will provide them solely a visual and auditory hallucination. By simply defining the experience as that experienced in front of the veil, the ill-informed subject will have no preconception as to what is possible given the right conditions for entering into the DMT-induced alternate reality. If subjects continually return only to describe the world in font of the veil, then it can be concluded that the DMT experience can be influenced by biasing the subject. In this sense, the hallucination is driven by preconceptions and therefore may be understood solely as an inconsistent subjective hallucination. On the other hand, if the inexperienced human subjects return with testimonies of encounters with alien beings, then DMT is responsible for alien entity experiences. It is noted that this experiment has already been implemented with positive results. Dr. Strassman’s work used unassuming human subjects that did, in fact, return from DMT inebriation with entity experiences (Strassman 2001).

I couldn’t make it to Burning Man that year, but my good friend Marc was going so I gave him a large vial of DMT (dimethyltryptamine) and a microcassette recorder with instructions to administer it to the people he was with and to record audio of the whole experience.

For those not familiar with DMT, I will describe it to you like this: It feels remarkably like jumping out of an airplane… in reverse. It is the most intense psychedelic experience I have ever had but unlike LSD or psilocybin it only lasts for about 10 minutes and unlike cocaine or alcohol I don’t think anyone could get addicted to this stuff. Individual observations vary but it is generally described as an out of body experience or a temporary departure from the reality known as the 3rd dimension.

The following are the microcassette tapes that Marc returned with after a week of tripping in the Nevada desert. Although one tape randomly seemed to contain an old interview with the keyboard player of the band U2, good job Marc.

Great transcript of a speach given by Terence McKenna in 1983 that also apparantly appears in his book “The Archaic Revival”.
Very interesting stuff , here is the opening paragraph :

There is a very circumscribed place in organic nature that has, I think, important implications for students of human nature. I refer to the tryptophan-derived hallucinogens dimethyltryptamine (DMT), psilocybin, and a hybrid drug that is in aboriginal use in the rain forests of South America, ayahuasca. This latter is a combination of dimethyltryptamine and a monoamine oxidase inhibitor that is taken orally. It seems appropriate to talk about these drugs when we discuss the nature of consciousness; it is also appropriate when we discuss quantum physics.

I especially enjoy his thoughts on DMT fear :

One of the interesting characteristics of DMT is that it sometimes inspires fear – this marks the experience as existentially authentic. One of the interesting approaches to evaluating such a compound is to see how eager people are to do it a second time. A touch of terror gives the stamp of validity to the experience because it means, “This is real.” We are in the balance. We read the literature, we know the maximum doses, the LD-50, and so on. But nevertheless, so great is one’s faith in the mind that when one is out in it one comes to feel that the rules of pharmacology do not really apply and that control of existence on that plane is really a matter of focus of will and good luck.

Ok, this is what truly happened, this was my first time..

I was in a group of 6 people, inside at nighttime. The only light source was a candle
in the centre of the room, and we were all around it. Anthony just had a huge dose,
he did prana breathing with his dose and I was shaking with excitement…
a full body shake that I could not control. Now it was my turn.
‘Gastro’ held the glass bong with the glass pipe attached, he
lit it carefully making sure not to fully vaporise it, he said.

“NOW!”

Here is a great article that proposes that people of ancient times may have had DMT / Psychadelic experiances more often than people do today.

Maybe Moses and Jesus had a greater rate of pineal DMT production than most.

Which is an interesting concept , then Dr Rick Strassman responds to this idea in a way that would closely link in with Dark Room Therapy :

When I asked Rick Strassman, M.D., author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule, about my theory, he responded: I’m not familiar with a specific theory that we made more DMT in the old days than now. But, are you familiar with Jaynes’ idea of the bicameral mind–that people routinely hallucinated until the connections between our hemispheres got evolved out for whatever reason? I don’t think hemispheric connections would support his idea as much as might higher levels of endogenous DMT. If indeed we made more DMT in the past, this may have to do with the increase in artificial light that has come upon us in the last 1000 years or so.
