The futures of psychedelic research.;A clinical psychiatrist explores the effects of DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known and shares his detailed account of the clinical studies he conducted with sixty volunteers. Strassman's research connects DMT with the pineal gland, considered by Hindus to be the site of the seventh chakra and by René Descartes to be the seat of the soul. DMT: The Spirit Molecule makes the bold case that DMT, manufactured by the human brain, facilitates the soul's movement in and out of the body and is an integral part of the birth and death experiences, as well as the highest states of meditation sexual transcendence and even alien abduction experiences.
