Description:
A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death & Mystical Experiences.
A clinical psychiatrist explores the effects of DMT: A behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of psychedelic research.
From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted US DEA-approved clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected 60 volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. DMT, a plant-derived chemical that is also manufactured by the human brain, consistently produced near-death and mystical experiences. Many volunteers reported convincing encounters with intelligent nonhuman presences, especially "aliens." 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 René Descartes to be the seat of the soul. DMT: The Spirit Molecule makes the 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.

De 1990 à 1995, le docteur R. Strassman, l'un des psychiatres américains parmi les plus éminents, a mené la plus grande recherche psychédélique jamais réalisée en expérimentant sur des dizaines de volontaires la mystérieuse "Molécule de l'esprit" : le D.M.T (di. méthyl-triptamine). Avec sincérité et une rigueur scientifique exceptionnelle, le docteur Strassman relate des dizaines de récits dont l'intensité, la profondeur et l'étrangeté sont réellement saisissantes d'autant plus que beaucoup d'entre eux se réfèrent au Bardo (état intermédiaire qui va de la mort à la prochaine naissance). Cet ouvrage est aux antipodes de la scolastique partisane et figée de la nomenklatura médicale. Les hypothèses avancées qu'il présente en irriteront plus d'un, mais personne ne restera insensible aux incroyables ouvertures qui se dégagent de ces recherches sur le cerveau humain et ses potentialités insoupçonnées. Le DMT est-il cette "molécule de l'esprit" en connexion avec la fameuse glande pinéale, considérée par les Hindous comme le lieu du septième Chakra et par Descartes comme le siège de l'esprit ? Une remarquable étude aux frontières de la connaissance.
