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.
A common occurrence across experiences on 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.
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‘s videos further down the article(videos 2 and 3). Another example is people meeting the serpent of knowledge and claim to know everything and even the creator of the universe. This is touched on in comedian Paul Smith‘s experience in video 6 further down the article (click ‘show more’ below the third video to see this).
Many people that experience DMT explain 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 and say things like they “have been waiting for them”, that the person “must go back” and that “they will see them again”. They are said to communicate 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, seeing a bright light, 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. Further down in the article ayahuasca is discussed.
Lessons Learned from DMT
There are a lot of quotes that can be taken from the following videos. 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 first video 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
Check out videos below from people that have experienced and/or researched DMT, including some from Comedy Central (after the first video).
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 rationalised 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 mentioned on videos 7 and 8 that follow comedian Paul Smith’s experience (video 6). Click ‘show more’ below to see these.

Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is mentioned in many of the videos above. It is a brew or tea made in the Amazon from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the Psychotria viridis leaf. This combination allows for DMT to work, giving ‘life changing experiences’. People experience ‘Mother Ayahuasca’ (also referred to as ‘Mother Earth’) after taking the brew. It has been said that she shares knowledge and gives advice ranging from explaining the nature of reality and how there is much more to it than we experience, to telling alcoholics to stop poisoning themselves. Another common theme is for advice to be given on personal traits, for example people have said that they have been told they should not take themselves too seriously.
Ayahuasca has also been said to be therapeutic. “It’s like psychotherapy. Ten years of psychotherapy in one night”. Many people consume it to cure PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), including soldiers and people with troubled upbringings. Others claim to get cured of issues/blocks in their subconscious that they were unaware of and describe the aftereffects as uplifting and life changing.
How ancient Amazonians knew to mix these two plants from the vast abundance of plants that are in the Amazon is still debated. The common answer locally is that “the plants told them/guided them” to do so. As well as these life changing insights and experiences, ayahuasca has been found to have healing properties. Some of the mental and health benefits it can bring are listed below:
- Euphoria
- Feelings of connection and unity
- Introspection
- Intense visual and auditory experiences
- Powerful emotions
- Curing addictions
- Curing psychological conditions (such as PTSD)
- Curing health conditions (some claim to be cured from conditions such as diabetes)

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.
