Episode notes
DMT As Our Inner Connector
- DMT is an endogenous, serotonin-like molecule produced in the brain that enables mystical experiences like birth, sex, and dreaming.
- Alberto Villoldo argues these experiences foster oneness and higher cognition when the brain has proper substrates and low stress.
Decalcify Your Pineal And Restore Substrates
- Filter fluoride from drinking water and drink clean water to decalcify the pineal gland, Villoldo recommends.
- Then restore tryptophan substrates and lower stress to enable endogenous DMT production and mystical states.
Evolutionary Leap Linked To Psychedelic Capacity
- A genetic chromosome fusion about 50,000 years ago corresponded with a 'great leap forward' in art, spirituality and higher brain development.
- Villoldo links that evolutionary shift to the emergence of endogenous psychedelics and pineal function.
