I am a college student, working part time. I have known about DMT for a year or so and have more recently been interested in what it is.
I am a science major and love chemistry. Months ago I was an agnostic. After reading DMT: The spirit molecule I would say that I believe in the existence of spirits. I am a more spiritual person after my reading. Today I am still an agnostic, but I am far more content with my beliefs. DMT, for me, connected science with religion in ways I thought were impossible. I have been reading a fair amount about the substance but still have some questions.
This is the relevance of DMT in my life.

If you take a whip-style vaporizer put enough weed to cover the screen and then put enough crytals so that there is a light yellow layer on top you will have what even an athiest like myself will call a true spiritual experiance, a powerful personally transformative moment. But I don't think dmt says anything about life after death or dieties.

Have you actually journeyed, or did reading alone convince to open your sense of possibilities? Welcome! PK Dick is to LSD as HP Lovecraft is to Mushrooms

No I haven't journeyed. The reading was powerful enough to convince me to be more spiritual. Thanks for welcoming me.

I actually had very similar beginnings with DMT. I was fascinated with the substance before I personally tried it or read The Spirit Molecule, and as an agnostic (which I still am) I was somewhat off-put by the title of the book at first, but since it was so highly recommended, I decided to read it anyway, and I found a similar feeling in the connection of science and spirituality that I would have laughed at or scoffed off previously.

Welcome to the nexus, and I look forward to hearing your questions. Yes we have had a similar experience. I felt out of place in the spirituality section at the book store a bit, but felt comfortable when I glanced over at the philosophy. I'm defiantly much more open now. The phrase "spirit molecule" seems contradictory at first glance.

Well, it might be more accurate to say that your experiences with DMT so far haven’t revealed anything about life after death or deities. gibran2 is a fictional character. Any resemblance to anyone living or dead is purely coincidental.

Hey and welcome! It is very good to hear that you broadened your perspectives after only reading "The Spirit Molecule"! You should look forward to experience DMT and the related substances yourself, because whatever you have read and whatever your impression of them are, you don't even have a clue before you experience it yourself!
Have a nice stay!
- EG
