I was in reading class, fully awake, fully conscious, and the closest thing in life that I could find that talked about similar types of experiences were books that started being published about 'near-death' experiences, as the perception of 'being up in the ceiling and being able to look down at myself or others' is exactly what I was doing. When the teacher would call on me to answer one of the questions at the end of the story, my perception would immediately be back from within my body. (You might find crystalinks to be an interesting website.)

The effects arise suddenly and without warning, completely consume your entire being before you know what’s happened.<strong> It’s so quick you can’t really smoke it. The experience hits you so hard you’re likely to drop the pipe before you’re even finished inhaling."<strong> This is not true! I have smoked DMT before, and it is one of the best ways to use the drug. It's the most common way to take the pure powder. The experience is VERY intense and does hit you in seconds. Usually enough time to hit the pipe three times before you are off! “People who have taken DMT have labeled it as brutal.

emotions are chemicals that are activated inside our brain it makes sense to me to suggest that dmt makes our emotions run wild a state of egolessness where no emotion is judged and everything just is.. im gonna go abit further and say that the world today is designed to manipulate your emotions to make you say/feel/think things to conform to whats normally acceptable.With this sheep mentality we have lost touch with what we really want and what we are really here for…to experience EMOTIONS to live in unconcious bliss ..we walk around like zombies now operationg from our head instead of our gut..well people the good news is i found a way out and i made a decision to myself that changed my life/future..

These seven minutes are not ordinary minutes to the deceased,the are dream minutes,flooded with every molecule of DMT,Seretonin,etc.thus creating a dream state flooded with every emotion causing chemical. Now everyone has had that dream where it seems like you've been asleep for hours when really its only been a minute,well imagine that times infinity,the results are endless!
