One doctor, by the name of Rick Strassman who wrote DMT: The Spirit Molecule has done extensive research on DMT. His research in 1990 was the first allowed study in 25 years on what was considered a psychedelic drug. With the help of his research and experiments, he came to amazing conclusions and results about DMT's effects on the brain and its purposes. First of all, the pineal gland produces psychedelic amounts of DMT at extraordinary times in a person's life. Birth is the first great event where this takes place. When our life force-our spirit, enters our fetus, it passes through the pineal gland and triggers the first primordial flood of DMT. Once we are born, the gland releases more DMT. For people who experience deep Meditation, psychosis or near-death experiences, pineal DMT mediates these pivotal events. Finally, when we die, when our life force-our soul energy leaves the body again through the pineal gland, more DMT is released. A direct effect of the last release of DMT can be seen when examining near-death experiences, where an amazing amount of people that have had this experience, notice a tunnel of light. wikipedia
I was always under the impression that none of this has actually been scientifically proven, rather proposed...certainly the bit about our life force or whatever entering a fetus and passing through the pineal gland...NO factual evidence can ever prove that, same as our "spirit" exiting through the pineal...
On his death bed, in the hospital adlous Huxley asked his wife to inject him with LSD. Inject!! Right into the blood stream! Very possible jobs had a last LSD experience. I still like to believe the natural DMT experience is possible too, perhaps he found the meaning of life right before his eyes seconds before his death.
http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1075047 Jobs took LSD and credits it making him more enlightened. Commenting on a trip he took in 1972 with his girlfriend: “It was great,” he recalled. “I had been listening to a lot of Bach. All of a sudden the wheat field was playing Bach. It was the most wonderful feeling of my life up to that point. I felt like the conductor of this symphony with Bach coming through the wheat.” Even in his later life he gave credit to the drug. “Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life.”
