What Science and Celebrities say about Ayahuasca
Rick Strassman, MD, has been conducting serious research for several years and has come to the conclusion that the DMT molecule is produced by the pineal gland located in the center of our brain.
Sting talks about his experience with Ayahuasca and the influence it brought to his life and his music.
Interviewer: have you already started the rainforest foundation when you had the ayahuasca experience? Or was it one of the inspirations?
Sting: it kinda happened around more or less the same time. I went to the rainforest before that – before i had the ayahuasca experience. And i suppose it has informed our work since then.
Interviewer: how did you ever find out about it?
Sting: i think about 20 years ago. I was in brazil and i met somebody in copacabana and trudie and i – my wife – got in the back of his car and were mysteriously led out of rio through the favelas (shantytowns) and into the jungle. There was a big church and they handed out this brew. And trudie and i looked at each other. We saw everybody drinking it so we did. I drank it in one…and then after the 4 minutes something coursing through every cell in my body – like an intelligence searching everything . And i am wired to the entire cosmos! I look at the ground and i see a crack in the ground and inside that crack i see a little flower growing…it’s my brother – everything! And i realize for the first time this is the only genuine, religious experience i’ve ever had! It is this direct access to the godhead or whatever you think that is.
I have no idea what it is, but there is definitely an intelligence – a higher intelligence – at work in you during this experience.
Rick Strassman about Dmt
Rick Strassman is a medical research scientist. Author of "DMT:The Spirit Molecule", one of the most famous books about DMT. The author of the book was educated at Stanford University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University. For 10 years he was a professor at the University of New Mexico (CNM) and conducted a clinical study of the functions of the pineal hormone - melatonin.
“The molecule of the spirit is chemically simple, it provides our consciousness with access to truly amazing and unexpected visions, thoughts and feelings. It opens wide the door to worlds beyond our imagination. The molecule of the spirit may cause certain psychological states, which we consider to be spiritual. These are feelings of amazing joy, absence of time and confidence that we are experiencing something “more genuine than real”. Such a substance can lead us to the idea of the coexistence of opposites, such as life and death, good and evil; to the knowledge that consciousness continues to exist after death; to a deep understanding of the basic unity of all phenomena; to the feeling of wisdom and love that pervades everything around.
The spirit molecule also brings us into the spiritual realms. Usually invisible worlds are inaccessible to consciousness in its normal state. However, the idea that these worlds exist in reality autonomously, outside of us, is as likely as the theory that these areas are present only in our minds. If we simply change the perceptual abilities of our brain, we can comprehend them and interact with them. It is also important that DMT is present in our bodies. We produce it naturally”.
