Eleven or all twelve dimensions of your consciousness—fragment of the course 'The Art of Lucid Dreaming—The First Gate'

Introduction or an attempt to simulate consciousness

The history of this lecture begins in Switzerland. Researchers from IBM and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne have been working on modeling the human brain for over 10 years.

In 2015, they managed to model a small section of the somatosensory cortex measuring only 0.3 cubic millimeters. Such a section is called a column: neurons within it are more interconnected with each other than with external neurons. To create a model of a tiny column, scientists had to record the activity of 14 thousand neurons and describe 8 million neural connections.

This is a lot, and the computing power of the SUPERCOMPUTER BLUE GENE barely sufficed for simulating each synaptic connection; yet in the human brain, the number of such connections varies from number of connections10 to the 11th power to number of connections 10 to the 13th power.

In order to describe the geometry of a single column and its individual fragments, scientists used results obtained long before, but applied new models. The results of their work, published in the journal Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, resemble a science fiction movie: scientists discovered structures in the brain that exist in four, five, and sometimes even 11 dimensions. In the original article, the word "dimension"(dimension) here is a mathematical term, meaning the number of connections each element of a structure has with other elements. Imagine a five-pointed star, where all vertices are connected by rays to other vertices. Such a structure is four-dimensional, meaning each of its elements is connected to four others, but it still exists in three-dimensional space. Similarly, five and even eleven-dimensional structures exist, where each element is a neuron connected to a corresponding number of other neurons. Typically, the dimensionality of a structure with n elements is equal to n-1. It is important to note that the authors of the study described not the structure of a real animal brain, but its mathematical model. A very complex one, consisting of 31 thousand neurons, connected by 8 million synaptic connections, yet still a model; the geometry of a real brain differs from the structure, described in the article and is much more complex. By playfully building and destroying towers of such structures, the brain processes incoming information signals.

Autonomous Nervous System and Consciousness or its Physical Anchor Point Neocortex

Next, let's consider a very important aspect related to the topic of this lecture, namely, the fact that in the modern scientific paradigm there is a concept known as—autonomous nervous system: what it consists of and how it functions, let's delve into it. In humans, the nervous system—this is a high-level system in the body and it consists of various elements. Through them, it interacts with the external world and at the same time, it controls all the processes that occur within the body. Numerous nerves in the body make up what is called the PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, while the CRANIAL and SPINAL CORD are referred to as the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The part of the nervous system known as AUTONOMOUS or vegetative nervous system, controls all the body's processes that cannot be influenced by THE WILL OF THE INDIVIDUAL. In other words, these actions of the body are not under the conscious control of the individual. I would like to draw attention to the fact that this paradigm was officially embraced by science and the academic community of scientists until recently, and in some countries, such a view is still maintained to this day.

The autonomic nervous system controls all essential vital functions of the body. It operates both day and night, overseeing processes such as heart rate, digestion and respiration, blood pressure and bladder function. When a person sweats and their pulse quickens during physical exertion, this is also regulated by the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system itself consists of two divisions: the Sympathetic Nervous System (also known as the Sympathetic Division) and the Parasympathetic Nervous System (also known as Parasympathetic Division). Both of these divisions regulate the function of the same organs, but in opposite ways:

• SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM, when there is intense work or the body is in a stressful situation, it stimulates energy expenditure. For example, it increases heart rate (pulse quickens), accelerates breathing, and raises blood pressure.

• PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM on the contrary is responsible for the body to accumulate and restore energy reserves during sleep, rest, and relaxation. For example, it slows down the heart rate (heart rhythm frequency decreases) and stimulates the functioning of glands and muscles in the digestive tract.

Pineal Gland or the Organ of Multidimensional Perception

Pineal gland is a multifunctional organ of the endocrine system, the main function of which is to convert nerve signals about external light levels, coming from the retina of the eye, into a hormonal response. The hormones of the gland have the most pronounced effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal system. Disruption in the production of biologically active substances affects the cyclical nature of organic processes in the human body and the sexual development in children. Since the pineal gland is located deep in the brain, there are certain difficulties in treating pathologies of this organ.

The pineal gland is a small unpaired endocrine gland located at the geometric center of the brain between its two hemispheres. This organ has been extensively studied in medicine relatively recently—only in the second half of the 20th century, largely because anatomists considered it rudimentary, an unnecessary appendage. Externally, the pineal gland looks like a small pea, resembling a pine cone of grayish-red color with a bumpy surface, which is why it received its second name—pineal gland (or pineal body, corpus pineale). The gland's size does not exceed 10x6x3 mm. In ancient times, esoterics and philosophers attributed great importance to the gland, considering it as the seat of the soul, the “eye of wisdom”, and the “third eye”. This is related to the evolutionary morphology of the pineal body—some modern reptiles, amphibians, and fish still retain it as a third unpaired parietal eye, located on the outer surface of the head. It serves for the correct orientation of animals in space. In lower vertebrates, the gland, located under the parietal bones, still contains cells, sensitive to light. In most mammals and humans, the “third eye” is greatly reduced and hidden deep under the skull. The pineal gland is connected to the midbrain by two stalk-like structures and is closely associated with the third ventricle. Its interaction with other structures of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid is still insufficiently studied by modern science. Biologically active substances produced by the pineal gland, initially enter the blood capillaries, and then into the spinal cord. When viewed in X-rays, the pineal gland often appears as a calcified formation, as with age, mercury, phosphates, and calcium and phosphorus carbonates accumulate in this organ, known as brain sand.

The amazing discovery was made by British ScientistJennifer Luke from School of Biological Sciences, University of Surrey, Guildford,UK.

A study has shown that fluoride easily accumulates in the aging pineal gland. Fluoride can also accumulate in a child's pineal gland, as a significant amount of calcification has been found in the pineal gland of young children. Research is currently being conducted to determine whether fluoride affects the physiology of the pineal gland in childhood, particularly the synthesis of melatonin in the pineal gland.

Official website—University of Surrey International Study Centre.

University of Surrey—wikipedia.

Fluoride does not accumulate in the brain. Of all the body tissues, the brain has the lowest concentration of fluoride. It is believed that the blood-brain barrier limits the penetration of fluoride into the central nervous system. The human pineal gland is located outside the blood-brain barrier.

Article “Fluoride deposition in the aged human pineal gland” published in “The National Center for Biotechnology Information” with the international identifier PMID: 11275672 DOI: 10.1159/000047443—NIH National Library of Medicine.

Pinealocyte (Pinealocyte)—wikipedia.

This is one of the few unique areas of the brain (all midline structures bordering the third and fourth ventricles) where the blood-brain barrier is practically absent. I have detailed what the blood-brain barrier is and what its main functions are in another article formatted similarly to a fragment of the course “The Art of Dreaming”, the link to which is provided below.

Adrenochrome, or how to become a superhuman—a fragment of the course “The Art of Lucid Dreaming—The First Gates”—an article posted on the resource medium by author Lord Denis Banchenko.

Cells in these areas require direct and unimpeded contact with blood. Therefore, pinealocytes have free access to fluoride in the bloodstream. Pinealocytes synthesize the hormone melatonin, first converting the amino acid tryptophan into serotonin. Then serotonin is acetylated by the enzyme AANAT and converted into N-acetylserotonin. N-acetylserotonin is converted into melatonin by the enzyme hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT), also known as acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase (ASMT).

The activity of these enzymes is high at night and is regulated by mechanisms that were previously discussed involving norepinephrine. This fact, combined with the presence of HA, suggests that the pineal gland may isolate fluoride from the bloodstream. The levels of calcium in the pineal gland were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy.

Reasons for the absence of lucid dreaming and loss of extrasensory abilities

In fact, such a situation with the calcification of the epiphysis arises due to several main reasons:

Mercury and mercury-containing preparations are perhaps the most harmful and dangerous toxin for the pineal gland. Essentially, it is poison. Try to avoid any mercury derivatives entering your body in every possible way. Dental amalgams containing mercury are pineal toxins and constantly poison it. If you want to progress in magic and the art of lucid dreaming, you need to remove them and replace them with safer alternatives, for this, consult a doctor. Medical vaccines generally also contain mercury derivatives. Thiomersal (vaccine preservative) is methylmercury, and it is very difficult to remove from the brain once it gets there.

Thiomersal - Wikipedia.

Therefore, analyze very carefully the vaccines used, especially for children.

Keep in mind the fact that the larger the fish, the higher the concentration of mercury in its tissues, tuna and dolphin meat are particularly harmful and contain a large amount of mercury, as well as shrimp and oysters. Energy-saving light bulbs, as well as daylight lamps with elongated bulbs, contain mercury vapors, if someone breaks such a lamp, mercury vapors enter the room and are inhaled. Avoid at all costs such situations in enclosed spaces.

Fluorine - fluorine contained in toothpaste and tap water is yet another very heavy poison for the PINEAL GLAND. Avoid at all costs toothpastes containing fluoride. Fluoride calcifies the tissues of the pineal gland and essentially encases the gland in a shell, after which it turns into stone.

Fluorine - Wikipedia.

Pesticides - Wikipedia.

Foods - most pesticides used as elements to combat pests and plant diseases are found in food products and are toxic to the pineal gland.

Mercury can be removed from the body within two yearswith daily use chlorella, wheatgrass sprouts and spirulina.

Chlorella—Wikipedia.

Some types of chlorellas have been known since ancient times for their symbiotic relationship with animals, initially mistaken for the organs of the latter, but Brandt and G. Entz, independently of each other, first recognized their exogenous origin, demonstrating that the green spherical bodies observed in the bodies of some animals are independent organisms. Moreover, Brandt attributed these bodies to a special genus of algae, naming it Zoochlorella.

Brandt, Fyodor Fyodorovich—wikipedia.

But both free-living chlorellas and zoochlorellas of various animals have exactly the same organization, go through completely identical stages of development, and differ only in lifestyle, which is why Beyerinck combined them into a single genus Chlorella, especially since the only distinguishing feature of zoochlorella from chlorella, namely the just mentioned symbiotic lifestyle of the former with some lower animals, turns out to be an inconsistent characteristic. The cohabitation of chlorella with animals is a typical example of commensalism (living at the expense of the host organism without harming the host) in the form of boarding. It has been observed repeatedly that not all specimens of chlorella remain alive in the bodies of unicellular organisms, but are sometimes digested by them. This phenomenon has been interpreted differently by authors, and only later it was possible to clarify the following conditions under which chlorellas either perish in the bodies of animals, especially unicellular ones, or remain living in them: in unicellular organisms, three layers of protoplasm can be easily distinguished in each individual: the outer, the alveolar plasma, serving as a covering for the two subsequent layers, the middle, the cortical plasma, which does not participate in digestion, and the inner endoplasm, the responsible for the organism's digestion. If chlorella enters the endoplasm, it is digested by the animal, but if it enters the cortical layer of the plasma, it remains living in symbiosis with the animal, as this layer of plasma does not participate in digestion.

Wheat germ - Wikipedia.

Wheatgrass, also known as vitgrass from the English wheatgrass - young green shootswheat, are used as raw materials for making health products, usually in the form of juice and powder from dried sprouts. Wheatgrass sprout juice contains a number of essential vitamins, micro and macro elements, enzymes, and amino acids. It is well absorbed by the body, best in the form of freshly cut shoots or juice, fresh or frozen. During dehydration, wheatgrass loses some of its beneficial properties. Wheatgrass, provided that it consists only of the green parts of the sprout, does not contain gluten. The product is hypoallergenic, suitable for consumption by children, pregnant women, women during lactation. Wheatgrass sprouts and derivatives contribute to blood regeneration and tissue normalization, as well as to the normalization of the gastrointestinal tract. This is due to vitamins K and B12. The latter plays a key role in the formation of erythrocytes in the process of hematopoiesis. It affects the condition of rapidly renewing tissues - blood, gastric and intestinal mucous membranes, skin, and also plays an important role in metabolism. In addition, wheatgrass is rich in iron and magnesium, which contribute to blood renewal and metabolism normalization. Also, wheatgrass sprouts have antimicrobial properties. In turn, vitamin K supports the structure of bone and cartilage tissues, as well as reduces the level of interleukin-6, which is an indicator of aging for the immune system. Wheatgrass sprouts also contain vitamins A, E, and chlorophyll. Wheatgrass contains 400 live enzymes and 95 essential micro and macro elements. The point is that cultivated wheat varieties, as well as many other plants, are genetically modified products, and this modification was carried out by previous highly advanced civilizations including for purposes described in this course. This modification was carried out using technologies much more advanced than those available to our civilization today. More details can be found in the video located below.

Spirulina was a food source for the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican tribes until the 16th century, harvesting the “crop” from Lake Texcoco and then selling the collected algae in the form of distinctive green cakes, as described by one of Cortés' soldiers. The Aztecs called it tecuitlatl.

Spirulina - Wikipedia.

Despite the results of the French research conducted in the 1960s, Lake Texcoco remained rich in spirulina, descriptions of the use of spirulina as a daily food source by neighboring tribes after the 16th century are absent.

Aztecs - wikipedia.

Possible factors include the emergence, after the drying up of the surrounding lakes, of a food alternative for larger agriculture and the gradual urbanization of the region. Spirulina is also traditionally harvested in Chad from numerous lakes and ponds surrounding Lake Chad. The algal mass is pressed into cakes called dihé, which are then used for direct consumption and as an ingredient in soup preparation.

Lake Chad - Wikipedia.

Spirulina is actively cultivated, including in Russia. Alongside Lake Chad, China's Lake Qinghai is one of the few natural habitats of spirulina. After the disappearance of Lake Texcoco, naturally grown spirulina is only harvested in Lakes Chad and Qinghai.

Cilantro—Wikipedia.

Coriander is used as a seasoning in cuisine and to give a pleasant aroma in perfumery, cosmetics, soapmaking. The plant is a good nectar source. Cilantro consumed daily, can help remove mercury from brain tissue.

Raw chocolate and raw cocoa in large doses removes toxins from the pineal gland due to its high content of antioxidants.

Raw chocolate—wikipedia.

With the removal of calcification from the surface and inner part of the pineal gland, things are more complicated. The point is that not only the cyclically changing blood pH needs to be altered, but also the external charge of air ions, the so-called oxygen form, the point is that the principle of epiphysis calcification is the principle of interaction of charges of fluorine ions and the charge of cells of the pineal gland itself.

Atmospheric ionization was discovered by Julius Elster and Hans Geitel in 1899. The possibility of the presence of ions in gas or liquid can be vividly demonstrated in a Wilson chamber. The use of ions for mass spectral analysis of substances is important, including as a medical research method, and the discovery of the possibility of laser ionization in 1987 was noted in 2002 with the Nobel Prize. Based on the assumption of the positive influence of negatively charged ions on human health and well-being, particularly expressed by A. Sokolov in 1903, some scientists and engineers attempted to create commercial ionization devices. In the USSR, a talented inventor A. L. Chizhevsky, a student of Constantine Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky Ciolkovsky.In 1919, in the city of Kaluga, Russia during the Russian Civil War at house number 10 on Ivanovskaya Street, the young naturalist Alexander Chizhevsky began experimental research on the influence of atmospheric electricity on living organisms. The establishment of this laboratory was preceded by the following events. In the summer of 1915, the young Chizhevsky became acquainted with articles describing the experiments of military physician-hygienist Ivan Ivanovich Kiyanytsyn.

Ivan Ivanovich Kiyanytsyn—a large biographical encyclopedia.

From them, he learned that in the air filtered through a layer of cotton, the test animals fell ill and died after a certain period of time. In the control experiment, where the animals were given regular air, life continued. Kiyanitsyn explained the animals' death by the absence of "oxidizing microorganisms" in the chambers, which, in his opinion, cotton retains. However, this conclusion was not accepted by well-known physicists and biologists. A discussion unfolded. Professors Skvortsov and Pilchikov considered the absence of electrically charged air particles in the chambers, absorbed by cotton, as the cause of the animals' death. Kiyanitsyn disagreed with the electric hypothesis and stopped the experiments. Alexander set himself the goal of unveiling the mystery of living air. To achieve this, he equips a home laboratory and conducts a series of experiments with animals.

The Soviet biophysicist A. L. Chizhevsky attempted to experimentally study the physiological effects of positive and negative ions in the air on living organisms, applied artificial aeroionization. The atmosphere ions were named A. L. Chizhevskyaeroions, the process of their occurrence—aeroionization, artificial saturation of indoor air with them—aeroionification, treatment with them—aeroionotherapy. Subsequently, Chizhevsky created an electronic device—an aerionizer, increasing the concentration of negative oxygen aeroions in the air. As a generator of aeroions, A. L. Chizhevsky also in 1931 proposed the design of an electroeffluvial chandelier. Currently, in honor of the inventor, this device is called “Chizhevsky's chandelier” (the device resembles a chandelier and is designed to be suspended from the ceiling).

The fundamental principle of it is relatively simple. The working element is an electroeffluvial chandelier, connected to a high-voltage source of negative polarity. The chandelier is a lightweight metal ring on which wire is stretched along two perpendicular axes. It forms part of a sphere - a grid protruding downwards, as shown in the photo above. Needles (up to 50 mm long and 1 mm thick) are soldered at the nodes of the grid. Their sharpness should be maximum, as the current leakage from the tip increases, and the possibility of ozone formation decreases. For effective generation of air ions, the applied negative polarity voltage should not be less than 25 kV. To ensure safety, the current on the chandelier should be below 0.03 mA (a limiting resistance of 1 GOhm is placed at the output before the chandelier). In 1997, in the magazine "Radio," the technology was fully revealed for independent creation of the "Chizhevsky chandelier". The publication was divided into three parts which were published in the January, February, and May issues of the magazine. Below are all parts of the articles in all three magazines.

Magazine “Radio”—wikipedia.

Chizhevsky believed that: “Numerous ionizers proposed by various inventors cannot be used under any circumstances to create light oxygen aeroions in the air, which have a beneficial effect on people and purify the air in inhabited spaces. Hydroions are completely unsuitable for these purposes, as well as ions produced as a result of the action of dangerous for health radioactive or ionizing radiations on air molecules”.A. L. Chizhevsky conducted medical, veterinary, and agricultural experiments with an electroeffluvial chandelier.

Also, the technology of manufacturing the Chizhevsky chandeliers, so necessary for decalcification of the pineal glandduring breathing by replacing ordinary oxygen with those containing negative aerions, was described in the book by the Polish author Janusz Wojciechowski, about a book released under the title “Radio-electronic toys: electronics at home, at work, and at school” (original title “Nowoczesne zabawki: Elektronika w domu, pracy, szkole”). The book was published in Poland in 1974 and then translated into Russian by the “Soviet Radio” publishing house in 1978.

Physical and Biological Structure of the Epiphysis

The main tissue of the pineal gland consists of pinealocytes, large light cells that produce the main secretion of the pineal gland, and glial cells, which play a supportive role.

Glia (Glia) - wikipedia.

Each of the pinealocytes is closely associated with a blood capillary and is adjacent to nerve endings. The macroscopic structure of the pineal gland tissue has a lobular appearance. Externally, it is surrounded by the brain's vascular membrane. Over time, there is an increase in the growth of the gland's septa from connective tissue, making it denser. Despite the pineal gland being located at the center of the human nervous system, it lacks nerve fibers, directly connecting it to other parts of the brain. The interaction of this gland is only through its fluid structures. Up to 4 or 5 years of age, children experience progressive development of the pineal gland, and after 8 years, a reverse process begins, leading to its calcification (deposition of the so-called “brain sand).

The pineal gland is part of the diffuse endocrine system, characterized by the presence of endocrine cells in various organs. As age advances, the function of the pineal body deteriorates, resulting in the disruption of hormone production. Since they are present in all organs, the entire body ages.

Functions of the pineal gland

The pineal gland plays the following role in the human body:

• production of the hormone melatonin (not to be confused with melanin);

• regulation phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium exchange;

• synthesis of serotonin, which is an intermediate product of melatonin;

• regulation water-electrolyte balance;

• Education peptides, which have several types of effects: suppression of sex hormone production by the pituitary gland, inhibition of synthesis of thyroid hormones;

• development adrenoglomerulotropin - a hormone formed as a result of the biotransformation of melatonin. The target organ is the adrenal glands, which regulate blood pressure.

To interrupt the melatonin production process, a short light pulse is sufficient.

The hormone melatonin is produced at night, causing a feeling of drowsiness in a person, but to interrupt this process, a short light impulse is enough, so it is important to maintain a day and night schedule. During daylight hours, there is accumulation of serotonin in the gland tissues. The pineal gland receives information about external light from photoreceptors on the surface of the eye's retina. Nerve impulses are transmitted to the β-adrenoceptors of pinealocyte membranes, which are activated by the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. This hormone is also actively produced in the dark by sympathetic nerve endings.

Melatonin

The peak of melatonin secretion is observed during the period of sexual maturation. Its amount gradually decreases with age, causing unexplained insomnia in elderly people. The highest level of melatonin in the blood is registered in women during menstruation, and the lowest - during ovulation.

On July 23, 2011, in Wiltshire, United Kingdom, a pictogram in the form of a spatial molecule of melatonin appeared in a wheat field. I extensively discuss where and for what reasons, and most importantly how, pictograms appear in wheat and other fields in a series of my articles under the working title—“How I found my way home or events that change us forever”. At the time of writing this article, two parts of the series have been released, and the third is scheduled for publication. Links to the two parts of the story about the appearances of pictograms in fields can be found below.

“How I found my way home or events that change us forever—part one”—the second article in the series posted on the medium platform, by author Lord Denis Banchenko..

Melatonin performs the following functions:

• Circadian rhythm support - "biological clocks" in the human body that regulate various physiological processes, sleep and wake cycles, daily, monthly, seasonal, and annual rhythms of phenomena, also related to the Earth's rotation;

• suppression of the production of luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones in the pituitary gland, which contribute to the proper development and functioning of ovaries in women and testes in men, affect the regularity of the menstrual cycle;
• activation of the immune system;

• skin lightening by affecting melanin;
• reduction of sexual activity;
• regulation of the thyroid gland function;

• antioxidant effect, neutralization of free radicals and mitigation of certain diseases (damage to the central area of the retina, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus);

• suppression of adrenal hormone production (including insulin and others), prostaglandins, growth hormone;

• soothing action, reduction of stress reactions, decrease in anxiety;
• slowing down of metabolism and aging process, increase in lifespan (demonstrated in laboratory studies on the administration of melatonin in animals).

The most vivid example of the influence of melatonin on the rhythm of physiological processes is the seasonal change in the sexual behavior of animals. The main role in activating sexual functions in the spring-summer period is played by the lengthening of the daylight hours. There is a reverse relationship between the pineal gland and the organs of vision. The retina of the eye ranks second in melatonin content after the pineal gland. When the hormone affects the photoreceptors, located in the retina, their sensitivity to light increases. In the winter, when there is insufficient sunlight, the necessary nervous impulses do not reach the pineal gland for a long time. Therefore, a person remains in a sleepy, relaxed state for a long time, and in spring becomes more alert and active. However, an excess of melatonin is also harmful, as well as its deficiency, as it leads to a slowdown in growth and sexual development.

The latest medical research shows that melatonin also affects the cardiovascular system, helping to prevent atherosclerosis and arterial hypertension. There is also a link between pathologically small pineal gland volume and an increased risk of developing schizophrenia and other mental disorders. Reduced pineal gland secretion is one of the factors in malignant cell transformation, allowing the use of melatonin-containing drugs in the comprehensive treatment of cancer. One such medication is Epithalamin—a purified extract from the pineal gland of cattle, which slows the growth of malignant tumors.

Serotonin

Serotonin, produced by the pineal gland, is responsible for the following processes in the human body:

• mood regulation;
• analgesic effect in various pathologies;
• stimulation of prolactin hormone synthesis, necessary for lactation in nursing mothers;
• involvement in blood clotting processes, in inflammatory and allergic reactions;
• stimulation of digestion;
• impact on egg cell maturation in women.

Translate to English

Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) or N,N-dimethyltryptamine is an endogenous psychedelic, specifically produced by the pineal gland or epiphysis, which during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phase, acts as an agonist of 5-HT2A serotonin receptors, also an alkaloid found in many plants, a potent psychoactive substance from the tryptamine class. Chemically, DMT is similar to serotonin—one of the important neurotransmitters in the mammalian brain. It is also produced in small amounts by the human body as part of normal metabolism.

Dimethyltryptamine molecule - wikipedia.

DMT—psychedelic, inducing altered state of consciousness experiences akin to religious-mystical experiences, with intense visual and auditory hallucinations, altering the perception of time and reality.

Clean DMT is a crystalline powder, either transparent in appearance or with a shade ranging from white to yellow-reddish color.

History of DMT Properties Discovery

The first chemical synthesis DMT was carried out by English chemist Richard Manske in 1931. In 1946, Brazilian ethnobotanist and chemist Gonçalves de Lima DMT was isolated from the root of MimosaMimosa tenuiflora, he named this substance "Nigerine" or Nigerine. The psychoactive properties of DMT were first studied in the mid-1950s by Hungarian doctor Stephen Szára. Showing interest in psychoactive substances, Dr. Szára ordered from the company Sandoz a substance LSD. Recently discovered at that time, LSD aroused great interest among scientists. However, Sandoz refused to supply it due to the fear that LSD would fall into the hands of the communist regime, which could have undesirable consequences. Unable to obtain LSD, Dr. Szára turned his attention to the chemically simpler DMT, assuming its psychoactive properties due to its similarity to serotonin.

Application of DMT in the culture of indigenous peoples of South America

The active use of this alkaloid is widespread among the tribes of South America. It is on the basis of this substance that shamans conduct rituals, and this drink is called ayahuasca (ayawaska, ayavaska) or alternatively known as the 'vine of the dead'. This drink is traditional and serves for 'communication with spirits', understanding one's own mind, solitude with nature, and insight into the body after death. Each shaman prepares this drink in their own way, but the foundation of this drink always contains plants with DMT.

The impact of DMT on the body when administered externally in the absence of the rapid growth phase

We have already established that DMT is a hormone generated by the pineal gland and it is a norm for the human body, as any hormone, it contains bioactive compounds. The beverage called Ayahuasca acts as a stimulant for a hormone that is already present in our brain in normal conditions. However, what happens when it is released outside the rapid eye movement sleep phase during wakefulness. Typically, people who have undergone this ritual describe their experiences as a journey into the unknown, self-discovery, finding tranquility and bliss, and so on. The writer David Icke, the world's most famous enthusiast of conspiracy theories, extensively describes the experience of the Ayahuasca ceremony in his books. The effect of consuming DMT is comparable to hallucinations, but the individual's mind or consciousness remains active and clear, free, and lucid. Some say they recall their childhood drawings, some see images that come to them in dreams, some believe DMT provides insight into life after death, but all describe the state as "realization of the infinitely eternal". There are various plants containing DMT such as chacruna and mimosa.

In a scientific study published in a peer-reviewed journal Nature, specifically in the article Neural correlates of the DMT experience assessed with multivariate EEG, it is reflected that in a placebo-controlled study, 13 participants received intravenous DMT infusion. This took place at the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Wellcome UCLH Clinical Research Facility in the UK. The effect of taking this psychedelic was very pronounced but short-lived. Therefore, from the very beginning, the participants underwent an EEG study. It was found that under the influence of the psychoactive substance DMT, the brain's electrical activity changed significantly. DMT caused a noticeable suppression of alpha waves, which we discussed in previous lectures, i.e., the dominant electrical rhythm of the human brain during wakefulness. At the same time, the intensity of theta waves increased, which in an adult normally occur only during REM sleep. In addition to changes in brain wave types, researchers found that overall brain activity became more chaotic and less predictable—opposite to what is observed in states of reduced consciousness, such as deep sleep or general anesthesia. Overall, the study authors characterize this state as “dreaming while awake”, which according to our course relates to the FOURTH MODE OF BRAIN OPERATION and CONSCIOUSNESS, specifically to MAGICAL STATES. Scientists believe that this data is of great practical value for assessing brain function in altered states of consciousness.

σ1 or Sigma-1 receptor—wikipedia.

Half a century ago, it was discovered that in small amounts DMT is synthesized by our brain. Its function remained unclear, although scientists found that the most active synthesis of DMT occurs in the brain, specifically in the pineal gland during the phase of “paradoxical” or rapid eye movement sleep, thus an assumption was immediately made that DMT may play a key role in the occurrence of dreams. Several years ago, it was discovered that DMT binds to sigma-1 protein receptors (σ1) and has no effect on mice with knocked-out σ1. These receptors are found not only in the brain, but also on the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum.

At least one of the functions of σ1 consists in transmitting stress signals from mitochondria to the cell nucleus. As a result, gene expression patterns change, and the synthesis of proteins that protect the cell from hypoxia or oxidative stress is initiated. All of this points to a possible role of endogenous DMT in cell protection, primarily neurons. New experiments by the group of Attila Szabo from the University of Oslo have confirmed this hypothesis. Scientists used cell cultures of neurons from the cerebral cortex, macrophages, and dendritic cells, subjecting them to hypoxia (with 0.5 percent oxygen content) for a total of 10 hours. Some of them were treated with DMT. The authors counted the number of dead cells and analyzed the amount of proteins associated with their stress response, such as hypoxia-inducible protein factors (HIF). It was found that although hypoxia caused massive cell death (apoptosis) in all types of tissues studied, even small doses of DMT increased the survival of cells of all types. The level of HIF proteins sharply increased in all cells under the influence of DMT, as did the level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), another protein that is activated when cells adapt to hypoxic conditions. In some cases, the administration of DMT was preceded by the addition of BD1063 hydrochloride BD1063, a substance that binds to σ1 receptors and blocks the action of DMT. In such cells, stress adaptation was noticeably weakened.

These results point to a new and important role of DMT in human cell physiology, as well as the prospects of its use for modulating the activity of σ1 receptors in the therapy of pathologies related to hypoxia and ischemia. Such a drug would be useful for military pilots, regularly suffering from hypoxia. Perhaps in the future, DMT will be used alongside another currently prohibited narcotic substance, psilocybin, which has proven to be an effective treatment for depression.
