Story
Carefully examining the concept of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, he characterizes a "prophetic state of consciousness" and explains how it may share biological and metaphysical mechanisms with the DMT effect. Examining medieval commentaries on the Hebrew Bible, Strassman reveals how Jewish metaphysics provides a top-down model for both the prophetic and DMT states, a model he calls "theoneurology."

Terence McKenna hypothesizes that as the North African jungles receded, giving way to savannas and grasslands near the end of the most recent ice age, a branch of our arboreal primate ancestors left the forest canopy and began living in the open areas beyond. There they experimented with new varieties of foods as they adapted, physically and mentally, to the environment. Among the new foods found in this environment were psilocybin-containing mushrooms.

Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Visionary, Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to modern human mind.

The secretive Mysteries conducted at Eleusis in Greece for nearly two millennia have long puzzled scholars with strange accounts of initiates experiencing otherworldly journeys. In this groundbreaking work, three experts - a mycologist, a chemist, and a historian - argue persuasively that the sacred potion given to participants in the course of the ritual contained a psychoactive entheogen. The authors then expand the discussion to show that natural psychedelic agents have been used in spiritual rituals across history and cultures.

But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third.

Publisher's Summary
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 60 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.

good book, not what I expected
this book is good and I enjoyed the subtle humor in some spots. however this wasn't what I expected the book to be, it was much more doctor talk and more about the process of doing experiments than I thought it would be. I did enjoy getting an inside scoop to the process and difficulties involved but I thought the book would be more focused on the experiences than the process. no worries tho, still a great book to listen to while I woodwork.

The narration is very distracting
The content is wonderful, but the narration is incredibly distracting. I’m really surprised that this performance made it to publication. At times I wondered whether the narration was computerized, because the flow of the narrator’s speech is choppy and unnatural. He struggles with almost every chemical and medical term and also pronounces many other non-scientific words incorrectly. I wonder if I am the only person who has been bothered enough by this to comment on it.

gives an interesting insight into how psychedelic research is carried out. in the beginning I felt there were details that could have been excluded, his walk across college. maybe it's minor, but in the beginning I felt that there were a lot of them. still a good book and I would recommend it.

Not Bad For A Scientist
It’s a seminal work in the psychedelic research field. Very important, but not much in the way of psychotherapeutic value, which was obviously not Strassman’s intention.
Strassman’s honesty and comprehensiveness is brave and refreshing.

Fanciful Title
I noticed two problems with statements in the earlier part of this book and as I progressed through it found myself zoning out more and more as I found it all rather tedious and repetitive.
1. He says that there was little interest or availability of psychedelics in Europe until the end of the 1800s. This is complete nonsense. Several types of psychedelic mushrooms grow all over Europe and a little research suggests their use may have been prevalent for thousands of years.
2. He suggests that DMT crossing the blood brain barrier is somehow significant. Many poisons do, there are no remarkable conclusions to be drawn from this.
And so, it seems to me that a lot of what he writes stems from wishful thinking and a subjective desire to attach sublime inferences where there aren’t any.
Insofar as I can tell his experiments simply involved making people somewhat deranged by altering their brain chemistry. Calling DMT “the soul molecule” is subjective fancy at best. One could perhaps use similar terminology to describe the Delerium Tremors caused by alcohol and hence refer to alcohol as “the soul beverage”, but that wouldn’t really make the whole experience spiritual in any profound and life changing way.
I listened to this after hearing Joe Rogan discuss it on his show. It sounded interesting but anything of merit was mentioned on the show and it could easily have been concluded in an hour rather than the 14 or so hours that the audiobook ran for.
There was little of interest here for me other than a fancy title and interesting cover. It bored my soul. It was a useful sleep aid all the same.
