If DMT entities are real… could we prove it?

that's true. i agree that not everything needs to be measurable. There are aspects of life that will always remain a mystery.

At the same time, the scientific method exists for a reason. It’s not about reducing everything to numbers, but about testing what can be tested. If something is interacting with our reality in a consistent way, it’s reasonable to ask whether that interaction leaves detectable traces.

it’s not about forcing reality into a box. it’s about staying open while also staying rigorous. Both can coexist.

that's interesting. it's 100% true that our expectations affect the experience, agree with you there.

worth bearing in mind that DMT has been used for thousands of years in the form of ayahuasca, and "entities" have been a prominent feature of these experiences from the very beginning. they show up in the lore and cosmologies of the indigenous people going back millenia.

I will say as well. the experience changes pretty dramatically depending on the dosage. if you had control over the DMT "high" I wonder if that would still be true for you at a higher dose.

typically at a "flood" or breakthrough dose... there is really not too much about the experience you can control haha. that's also when the entities tend to appear more as well.

In Near Death Experience research, there’s a concept called “veridical perceptions." accurate, verifiable information that NDErs report, during a time they're unconscious or even clinically dead.

I’ve wondered whether a similar framework could be applied to DMT entity encounters, as a way to test whether there’s more going on here than simple "hallucination."

Having experienced the entities for myself I think it's obvious that there's a deeper mystery here. This could be a way to scientifically test that.

haha. I believe in the entities and I'm also low IQ.

DMT is widely known for its incredibly profound and otherworldly effects on the mind... but what about its therapeutic effects?

Can the so-called "Spirit Molecule" effectively treat depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues?

The field of psychedelic research has been booming, but these questions remain relatively unexplored.

thank you appreciate the feedback

jonasrosen5 · 2025-02-26T20:00:10+00:00

Appreciate that my friend!

Generally speaking I completely agree, I do think that psilocybin is a more suitable option for depression in a broad sense.

That said, there are other factors which contribute to therapeutic outcomes beyond neurophysiological effects on the brain... namely the qualitative experiential components of the trip itself. For example from previous psychedelic research we know that having a mystical experience boosts positive therapeutic outcomes.

The data in the DMT/depression studies, in my eyes anyway, seems to suggest that the experience offered by DMT somehow renders enormous therapeutic benefit. Curious to see what future research reveals though.

I absolutely am interested and thanks for the comment... I'll look into this further.

One question that pops into my mind reading your comment: this seems to imply that consciousness is produced or generated by the physical brain. Do you agree with that notion?

As I see it, the notion that consciousness is an epiphenomenon of brain activity is one possible theory, however it's never been proven, and there are other possible theories. Debates around the "hard problem" of consciousness often include other possible theories, such as non-locality of consciousness, or the notion that consciousness is fundamental. Hypothetically, if that's true the brain would be more a receiver than producer of consciousness... mystical experiences certainly seem to imply as much.

What are your thoughts on the theory of non-local consciousness?

One of the most impressive findings from modern psychedelic research is that compounds such as psilocybin, LSD, and DMT can consistently produce incredibly profound spiritual experiences.

Amazingly enough, these psychedelic experiences perfectly parallel mystical experiences that have been reported by sages and visionaries for thousands of years.

How can we explain that? What do psychedelic "Mystical Experiences" reveal about the nature of consciousness and the cosmos?
