No question about it, this book changed my life. The very fact that the human body produces N,N-DMT, one of the most powerful hallucinogens that the West is aware of, absolutely changed my perspectives about spirituality and religion. I had been aware of issues like temporal lobe epilepsy and other conditions that can produce visionary states, but the fact that every healthy human produces DMT (in varying quantities) completely complicated my atheistic worldview. No longer do I think of visionary/mystical reports as lies, but rather as neuro-biological functions to which nearly every human is in some sense capacity capable of. Who knows, it may even have some function in the fascinating science of dreaming.

I disagree with many of Strassman’s speculations. However, he clearly states that they are indeed speculations rather than simply spouting fantastic fictions and attaching his degree as a badge of authority on the matter. This I feel is intellectually honest and deepens my respect of the man.

A powerful book. A landmark in reintroducing psychedelic studies. A fascinating step forward in understanding human consciousness.
