The Fingerprints of God

DMT, one of the most powerful hallucinogens known to man, is present in many plants and also within our own bodies. DMT is released during REM sleep, along with several other chemicals. Dreams are induced by DMT. It's possible that DMT is released in large quantities upon dying.

It has been surmised that DMT is produced by the pineal gland, which is responsible for melatonin, another sleep chemical. All of the constituents for its production are available to the pineal, so it's a logical deduction.

Children usually have healthy, properly functioning pineal glands, but as we age, beginning with puberty, the pineal begins to accumulate particles called brain sand and its functioning is reduced. Children remember their dreams, and often have very vivid ones, adults generally do not.

So why is the pineal so interesting? The pineal gland is also called the Third Eye. While DMT is most commonly released during REM sleep, it can also be released in deep states of meditation, particularly meditation focused on the third eye.

DMT has been called the Spirit Molecule. It has been ingested and given as medicine by many a shaman throughout history, because of the effect it has on he human mind.

It enables men to see god.

Taken as a drug it will teach you deep, profound truths. It will help you see the world and yourself without negative imprinting, if for only a fleeting few minutes. Then it wipes your memory nearly completely of the experience, leaving little more than an aftertaste behind.

In meditation, with the third eye open men can also see god, know truths not revealed to them through their physical senses, and experience freedom from negative imprinting. The meditative method however, stays with you much longer.

Why is DMT, this spirit molecule, present in so many plants, and even in our own bodies? Are these the fingerprints of god reminding us that there is more to existence than what we see?

Why must we sleep and release this chemical regularly? What are we recharging? It's not our bodies, unconsciousness and DMT release wouldn't be required for that.

If this third eye can be opened with practice, why was it ever closed?

With the third eye closed we wander around like blind men, chasing spirit at the direction of other men who claim to see and know where it hides. In truth the priests and clerics are just as blind as anyone else, if not more so. Spirit does not hide, it is ever-present. Maybe it's the sand in our third eye that prevents us from seeing this.

Many of us are more than willing to kill and die to perpetuate a tyranny of words, the grammar of duality, the very words that separate us from spirit, ironically, in the name of god. We spill blood to hold fast the chains of this partisan faith. Blind faith they call it.

Who made these chains?

If we're not chasing spirit, we're caught in the muddle of materialism, reaching for the next big thing just outside our grasp, as if it will fill the space where spirit should be. The rat race is a blood sport in which we compete for things freely given to all of us by the creative force in the first place.

Who made this race?

I can't answer these questions with absolute certainty. My far memory is clouded with visions of people and places I've found more important to keep than the knowledge of life before the fall, but I have suspicions.

It's a story that began about 3,000 years ago.
