Book Reviews of DMT: The Spirit Molecule: A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences
Book Review: Absolutely fantastic. Best you'll find about DMT
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best you'll find regarding DMT.
This was a great book that covered very well the legal, medical, and technical parts of getting the research approved and the actual study in the first half of the book. The second half had the actual experiments with some fascinating personal accounts.
I would personally reccomend this to both people who are interested in psychedelics as more than just an intoxicating good time, as well as people wishing to learn more about the "near death" phenomena.
Book Review: All in all, a Cool Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This one is a cool book, which touches on ground which many in the academic establishment have tried their hardest to ignore. The book seems to provide solid evidence of a multidimensional universe in which humans are not, by any means, the only or most advanced of its inhabitants. All it takes is a little touch of this stuff and you will believe too. For far too long has science ignored the clear evidence pointing at the incredible potential of the human brain to do things which it is not supposed to do. At least not officially.I recently read another facinating work by a cultural anthropologist putting forth the idea that the same kind of visions could be accomplished through simple art work based on shamanic techniques and memetics. Memetic Magic was the title, by K. Packwood I think. (First initial may be wrong) Anyone interested in checking out the power of the human mind to access the hidden reality of the multidemonensional universe should check both of these books out. Very worth it.
Book Review: Amazing.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is incredibly scientiic. It does not appear to be overly idealistic about the subject matter. it actually offers a very realistic sense of the nature of psychedeclics and the role they play in contemporary society. The book is mostly cold hard facts that are often not entirely optimistic, but invredibly relevant. The final chapters do provide some speculations that would be of interest to anyone who studies the nature of consciousness and the idea of quantum realities. Strassman does indeed lay some solid groundwork for some pretty outrageous ideas. He presents them in a way that clearly indicates that he is aware of the response that these speculations may evoke from a great portion the population.Book Review: An Amazing Study
Summary: 5 Stars
A very interesting research on psychedelics, that enlightens the use of these mind alterings in near future for contacting non-human beings and sharing information with them.Book Review: An Exploration of Consciousness!
Summary: 4 Stars
DMT, or Dimethyltryptamine, is a substance that occurs naturally in animals, plants and even in our brains, though medical science is unsure why it exists there. In this book, Strassman chronicles several sessions in which people under the influence of DMT have psychedelic experiences, attempting to link those to near-death and a sort of spiritual awakening.
Putting aside the fact that near the end of the book there's an irresponsible suggestion that those looking to have fun might enjoy using the substance, the book is a fascinating bit of research into psychedelic states, the state of the brain in near-death and what separates us, in the end, from death and from truly experiencing everything out brains are capable of handling.
As a look at the workings of the brain, and for anyone interested in these topics, the book is well worth a careful reading. But it shouldn't be seen as a drug-positive text so much as one that strives to understand the many things we don't yet understand about how exactly our brains and our consciousness really work.
