• Explores DMT beings, alien abduction, plant sentience, neuroscientific DMT research, the connections between LSD and DMT entities, and the nature of mind and reality

Found throughout the plant and animal kingdom, DMT (dimethyltryptamine) is also naturally occurring in humans, and may be released during near-death and actual death experiences, earning it the title “the spirit molecule.” When taken as a psychedelic, either via ayahuasca or in pure form, DMT is experientially considered to be one of the strongest and strangest of all entheogens. The majority of high-dose users report visions of unknown yet curiously familiar alien worlds and encounters with sentient nonhuman presences.

At a four-day symposium at Tyringham Hall in England in 2017, twenty of the world’s psychedelic luminaries gathered to discuss entheogenic entity encounters, consciousness expansion, visionary experiences, and the future of research in this field. Contributors to the talks and discussions include many leading thinkers, including the late Ralph Metzner, Chris Bache, Whitley Strieber, Je rey Kripal, Angela Voss, Bill Richards, Chris Timmermann, Michael Winkelman, Luis Eduardo Luna, Anton Bilton, Bernard Carr, Daniel Pinchbeck, Dennis McKenna, Ede Frecska, and David Luke.

This book distills the potent exchange of ideas that occurred at Tyringham Hall, including discussions about DMT beings, encounter experiences, alien abduction, plant sentience, the shamanic use of ayahuasca, neuroscientifi c DMT research, the connections between LSD and DMT entities, and the nature of mind and reality.

Critic reviews

"A stellar collection of scholars digs deep and wide into the remarkably common encounter with 'beings' in the DMT state. Viewpoints cover this phenomenon from every possible perspective, including neuroscience; psychology and parapsychology; anthropology and shamanism; philosophy, theology, and religious history; quantum physics and cosmology; and self-experimentation and alien abduction. The definitive, and most thorough and exciting, treatment of this extraordinary experience."

"An invaluable contribution to the growing library of information concerning Medical Psychopharmacology; Popular Psychology Psychopharmacology; and ESP, DMT Entity Encounters: Dialogues on the Spirit Molecule with Ralph Metzner, Chris Bache, Jeffrey Kripal, Whitley Strieber, Angela Voss, and Others is an important and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library collections. For the personal reading lists of students, academia, DMT researchers, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject, it should be noted that DMT Entity Encounters: Dialogues on the Spirit Molecule with Ralph Metzner, Chris Bache, Jeffrey Kripal, Whitley Strieber, Angela Voss, and Others is also readily available in a digital book format (Kindle, $12.99)."

Would’ve been better as a documentary

This isn’t a book, it’s an audio of a conference. The accompanying PDF doesn’t have all the exhibits spoken about. Would’ve been better as a documentary

personal experiences and interpretations plus science

The personal experiences and interpretations were extremely helpful. A lot of the scientific information seemed extraneous.

Excellent use of a credit.

Enjoyed the format and content both. Good/valuable material in here for even the well-versed psychonaut. Utilizing the recordings from the event was a good move.

hmm?

lots of interesting moments, but a bit all over the place.. strange narration too.. it's mostly excerpts from a conference, sometimes the narrators take over for the speakers, kinda distracting, as well as awkwardly read, with much slower pacing than the conversation
