Most familiar with DMT have heard of the ‘machine elves’ but few talk about the other phenomena repeatedly witnessed by users: reptilian beings. Rick Strassman, a medical doctor and psychology professor, conducted a 5-year long double-blind study on DMT in the 1990s. Each volunteer went through a rigorous vetting process including detailed psychological evaluations to ensure they had no underlying mental health issues. Full physical examinations including blood tests and electrocardiograms were also completed.
Dr. Strassman administered over 400 intravenous injections to 60 human subjects. What was disclosed during this time with participants would permanently alter his perception of reality. After each dose he would interview the individual to ask what they experienced. Despite being isolated in a clinical hospital setting and possessing no knowledge of one another, over 50% of the volunteers reported encountering nearly identical nonhuman entities.
Human beings only see an estimated 0.005% of the spectrum of visible light. Might it be plausible that certain hallucinogenic drugs take off our metaphoric blinders and allow us to see what’s truly been there all along?
What part of the spectrum/wavelength we are able see depends on the size of our receiver(retina). So it’s not likely we can see more with our eyes. However, the pineal gland is made of retinal cells, and is of a different size, meaning it has a different slice of the spectrum.
Are these possibly demons? I have heard of alien abduction encounters ending when the abductee says the name of Jesus. I wonder how these DMT entities react.
It is all incredibly fascinating! What I find compelling is that there are people of all ages/ spiritual beliefs/ countries/ upbringings/ etc that all witness nearly identical entities. I sort of liken it to a dog whistle. If you were to blow it and I don't hear a sound does that mean it doesn't exist? Canines would beg to differ. The frequency is simply beyond our confined audible perception.
I think that it's impossible to get an actual control group. You'd have to have beings that have been exposed to no imagery or culture, etc.
In a very distant past, I was heavily into psychedelics and experienced many things including what one might call entities, but no machine elves, reptilians, humanoids, etc. Those imagery archetypes have never held any interest to me though.
My DMT was 5-MeO and I didn't get elves or reptiles, just incredibly crisp impossible shapes in closed-eye visuals: Four-sided triangles with round edges turning inside out into hexagon fractals, a circle that becomes a torus which inverts so the hole is on the outside, etc.
From the same batch of psychs, the other dude who took it with me became aware of little green "aliens" that control our bodies like puppets.
People see weird things while under the influence of PSYCHOACTIVE substances. More Captain Obvious News at 11.
It wouldn't be so unironically cringe if you guys would come up with something new. But nooo. It's mUh LiZaRdPeOpLe 24/7/365. Whatever makes you sleep better at night, i guess. Whatever makes you cope with the reality that FELLOW HUMANS are doing this to one another, i guess. Screams In Eye Rolling
You know what? I'll just leave you nutters alone to play in your sandbox...Yeah i-i-i'll just. Yeah. No words. Just shaking my head over here. Fucking retards.
Tobacco, Alcohol, Cannabis, Aphetamine, Cocaine, Ketamine, MDMA (Pills and Crystals), Psylocibine, LSD, Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds. There, my entire substance (ab)use history. Make of that what you will. I am not anti-drug. Good for you if DMT helps you. But i've had my fair share of substance-related (mis)adventures and nightmares. I've had my experiences. I've done my dues. And i've been happily abstinent for 3 years now and would rather keep it that way. I do not need substances in my life anymore. I have come to a point in my life where i would rather face the music, where i would rather face reality head on, sober. My synapses have been burned. I've had horror and nightmare and bad trips. It was so bad that i thought for the longest time that i had died during any one of my harder substance trips and that i was either reliving everything up to the moment that i died or that i was already dead and experiencing a limbo or afterlife. I refuse. I refuse.
It has done so and will continue to do so. I know about the supposed power of certain psychoactive and psychedelic substances. And i know that each person makes their own experiences with these. Not all of my experiences were unpleasant and alot of MY unpleasant experiences could have been avoided. Piece of advice for anyone reading this and wanting to do specifically LSD: Do not do it alone. Do not do it in a chaotic, single-room apartment when you are alone (I legit tripped that a pile of laundry was my rotting body and that !i! was a female investigator/detective picking through "my" apartment. I had tripped two death scenarios - I jumped through the glass of one of my windows (2nd floor, roundabout...4, 5? meters in height; And in reality it's physically impossible to propell yourself through the panes of my windows without outside forces. The other scenario that i tripped was that i spilled water over my PC and was electrocuted.) Do not do it on New Years Eve while at a psytrance/darkpsy/"goa" event, ESPECIALLY not an indoor one. And ESPECIALLY do not leave said event alone, eventhough you came with friends, while absolutely peaked out on LSD, at night, in a dark, fireworks-fogged city while you wear a windbreaker instead of a winter-proof jacket.
I envy anyone who has tripped on psychs and HASN'T had a rewind situation where they relive the same in-trip-universe moment again and again. I've tripped on psy anywhere between 6 to 10 times and half of those trips were just me being alone in my tiny apartment and tripping that i was dead. Have you ever tripped that you feel your body shatter from the impact of a 5-meter fall? Have you tripped that your skull parts and your eyes come out of it? Have you tripped insects crawling on and through your decomposing body while you trip that you lying down on your bed covered with your blankets is your coffin, burried within the soil.
Again, i am not anti-drug. And i AM glad that i made my experiences, that i at least DID it. Just like i tried adult toys once. Tangent but it's underwhelming. It's probably more fun for women and i know that the behind is a erogenous zone but just meh. I don't see the appeal. I'd rather stick it in a pouch if you catch my drift.
Anyways, cheers buddy. I wish all the best to you and yours.

Wonder if any of them asked the reptiles questions
I myself have had similar experience where it felt like they were trying to lead me somewhere and I wouldn’t go

Yea that’s not funny.

Confirmation bias of some sort?
Like they expect to see elves, so they see elves.
Collective consciousness? I've heard of separate people encountering the same being using shrooms, and the DMT elves

Inter dimensional reptilians are taking over this reality through humans.
So yes, technically it is "humans" doing it to one another.
You know what? I'll just leave you nutters alone to play in your sandbox...Yeah i-i-i'll just. Yeah. No words. Just shaking my head over here. Fucking retards.
Try it.
Or i could just not do more psychedelics and fuck up my brain any further. Been there, done that.
I don't know what psychedelics you've been using, but several heal the brain not harm it. I wouldn't consider MDMA a psychedelic..

Wow that sounds awful. I hope sobriety brings you solace.
