Psychedelic, Drugs, Factual, Tripping, DMT, Psychoactive; Paperback Book - New
A clinical psychiatrist explores the effects of DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known.
• A behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of psychedelic research.
• Provides a unique scientific explanation for the phenomenon of alien abduction experiences.
From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U.S. Government-approved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected sixty volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. DMT, a plant-derived chemical found in the psychedelic Amazon brew, ayahuasca, is also manufactured by the human brain. In Strassman's volunteers, it consistently produced near-death and mystical experiences. Many reported convincing encounters with intelligent nonhuman presences, aliens, angels, and spirits. Nearly all felt that the sessions were among the most profound experiences of their lives. Strassman's research connects DMT with the pineal gland, considered by Hindus to be the site of the seventh chakra and by Rene Descartes to be the seat of the soul. DMT: The Spirit Molecule makes the bold case that DMT, naturally released by the pineal gland, facilitates the soul's movement in and out of the body and is an integral part of the birth and death experiences, as well as the highest states of meditation and even sexual transcendence. Strassman also believes that "alien abduction experiences" are brought on by accidental releases of DMT. If used wisely, DMT could trigger a period of remarkable progress in the scientific exploration of the most mystical regions of the human mind and soul.
Disturbing, Nacho Cerda, Cult, Underground, Horror, Arthouse, RARE!, Collection; 3 Film DVD Box - Ex Used condition
Wonderful trilogy of short films on the theme of death from Spanish director Nacho Cerdà. Cerda's films here are striking and intense. Featuring magnificent cinematography, these films project the viewer, without any real dialogue, into the world of death. “Aftermath” is truly disturbing and sometimes unbearable, but Cerda manages to make a horrible moment (the necrophilic inclinations of a forensic doctor...) into a somewhat aesthetic moment... Those familiar with Cerda's work will want this. Rare find in Australia, this 3 film DVD box is a nice item indeed....
