Howdy all. I've been a lurker and hyperspace bum since about 2012. That's that for introductions.
For a primer, I'm committed to the Electric Universe Theory and I'm a huge fan of Rupert Sheldrake and his theories on
The Extended Mind, among others, so familiarizing yourself with either of those is certainly going to help make sense about what I intend to discus and document. There's also a small section under the wiki article "Forbidden mechanism" concerning the phenomenon's association with astro- & atomic physics that would likely pertain. Let's jump in..
I think I may be in a position to study the effects of DMT on the mind/body in such a way that would lead to a shift in the standard view of the substance: from that of a hallucinogen, to a stimulant with hallucinogenic side-effects, likely brought on by sensory overload. I believe, with the proper setup, I can collect supporting evidence in the form of video footage.
The Experiment - The subject, SWIM in this case, ingests a DMT dosage. Dose is enough to bring on the "hallucinations," but not enough to put him into hyperspace. Subject sits cross legged on the floor, and a DSLR camera with a blue, purple, or green phosphorescent filter in front of the aperture sits opposite the subject. The camera points at the floor directly in front of the subject, allowing him to comfortably manipulate small objects in front of him with his hands within full view of the camera. The subject manipulates objects, from small crystals and stones to a 'Psi-Wheel' with an aluminium foil wheel, which can be switched with a heavier cardboard wheel. The subject will also make various hand gestures, including creating a circle with both his index fingers and thumbs, and holding the tips of two opposing fingers within several millimeters of each other. The experiment will conclude some time after the effects of the DMT have, perceptibly, worn completely off. There's been consideration a second camera setup, one without filters, that would focus on the subjects skin, capturing any visible deviations in the physiology of the subject (skin color, twitches, etcetera).
The Subject - SWIM. Hich-carb, low-fat, whole foods, plant-based diet for about 14 months. Excellent physical shape, with regular, high-intensity exercise. Currently between 150-170 pounds, around 72" or more in height, and maybe 8-10% body fat. This past Sunday (March 2, 2017) SWIM began what's referred to as the
Daniel Fast, from the Book of Daniel (an intriguing chapter about prophecy). 3 weeks of fasting, only water and fruits/vegetables are eaten, no masking scents are to be used, and one would hope to be visited by an entity at the conclusion of the fast. As a vegan who has previously utilized intermittent fasting, SWIM really only sees the
Daniel Fast as a minor deviation from their standard diet.
The Expectations - SWIM expects to capture footage of the various energies radiating from our bodies, inanimate objects, and the surrounding environment. SWIM expects the energies will appear in a form similar to those we see of the Sun when viewed through various Angstrom filters. SWIM expects the prevalence of these proposed energies will appear to increase as the 'high' scales up in intensity, but remain, and, with time, drop off, after the 'high' has subsided.[/color]
The Working Hypothesis - Ingestion of a low-dose of freebase DMT vapor will alter the visible perception/acuity of the Subject in such a way that ambient and intrinsic forms of radiant electrical energy become visible, likely at the cost the Subject's perception of spacial depth and peripheral pattern discernment. Ingestion will also, via an unknown physiological mechanic, vastly increase the ambient electrical output of the Subject's body, to such a degree that is measurable externally, confirming the first part of the hypothesis. The Reason - I heard Monday night (March 3, 2017) was one hell of a trip for SWIM. His preferred method of DMT ingestion is to first get his weed addicted to it, then smoke the weed (lol). Effects are only slightly blunted due to the presence of MJ, but access to pure freebase is available for experimentation purposes.
Anyways, SWIM made a circle with his hands by touching the tips of his index finger and thumb to their respective opposites, resulting with a visible haze that enveloped the empty space between his hands. Minute blue sparks and arcing were also witnessed emanating from his skin along the boundaries of the circular haze. Holding this haze as one would hold a full bowl of cereal in front of them, SWIM proceeded to gently move his hands forward, backwards, left and right, being careful not to "spill" the haze from his hands. SWIM received a
tactile response in his hands that corresponded with the direction his hands moved, similar to a liquid or gas (slide a bowl of cereal forward, and the contents rise slightly higher on one side, lower on the opposite, as the liquid has to keep up with the movement the vessel).
When SWIM placed the tips of his fingers close together, stopping just short of touching them together, a sensation of pins and needles was felt in the fingertips, with the sensation sometimes shooting down the length of his finger. Similar sparks and arcs were witnessed as the fingertips were moved about each other in circles (the same way you apply the gel to defibrillator pads, but with a millimeter or so of separation). The skin of the digit would become visibly flushed, turning almost a bruised purple at the very tip, and appeared to create (my interpretation) of lichtenberg figures stretching up the bottom of SWIM's finger.
When SWIM began manipulating the Psi-Wheel, he could actually see wisps and arcing lines flowing, not just around the object, but
from the object. As he focused, he could even see them flowing from his fingertips. The best description would have to be the Predator's cloak. In close proximity, the arcs connect and interact in a manner similar to that seen in
this video (YouTube, 2:38 in). SWIM now sees this effect regularly, as if he's able to afford more focus to a phenomenon that's always been there.
Over an hour after the trip was over, SWIM was still able to visibly perceive these sparks and arcs. While laying in bed and looking at the ceiling, SWIM suddenly started seeing very turbulent and wild wisps moving about his ceiling, though only in areas where no external light (street light from the window) shone. Also interesting, the bedroom doorway, that leads to a hallway, was halfway open, and seemed to be creating some sort of turbulent vortex with whatever energy he was seeing, as if it were flowing into the room and the door acted as an obstacle. Closest description would be one of those contraptions that makes HUGE soap bubbles, in the moment when the bubble is mostly created, but isn't yet separated from the device that made it, and moves wildly around as it fills with more air. Looking out the door and down the hall at a digital clock that shines very brightly blue, it appeared as if the whole dwelling was filled with white ethereal matter, and the clock shone like a lighthouse through the fog. SWIM wasn't sleeping or dreaming, but was fully aware and responsive, even getting up to walk about.
When SWIM got back into bed, he decided it'd be a good opportunity to continue practicing seeing his body through closed eyes. Holy hell- to his shock and amazement, his torso and limbs were glowing brightly blue. Usually, as in, sans DMT, he's really only able to make out general shapes and movement through a blindfold, which he's taught himself to quickly recognize as body parts and nearby objects. If you think this is hogwash, try it. Sit on the floor, put on a blindfold, and proceed to slowly wave your hands about in front of you. Then rub your right hand along the length of your left arm, then your torso, then your legs. Imagine that you're teaching yourself to use a sense that we all innately have, and you have to associate the location of your body with the perceived stimuli. Back at the trip, SWIM was able to identify his legs moving apart and together again, which were under a blanket, and could see what appeared to be electric arcing running up his arm, which looks very similar to the surface of the Sun in
this video, at 21:10.
When SWIM observed his hands without closing his eyes, he saw faint, tiny blue sparks move about his arm/wrist/hand as he moved it through the air. If he focused, he could see the same blue glow in his arm as he saw in his body through closed eyes, though it was confined to where his bones would be. What SWIM
felt was, and this is somewhat hard to describe, a buildup of charge in the palm of his hands. The buildup, which felt sort of like a thick, goopy cloud, showed an affinity for his fingertips, and could be held and transferred to his other hand.
All in all, SWIM thinks the DMT somehow charged him up, literally.
So I'm hoping to catch SWIM's perceived physio-electrical phenomenon on camera. I imagine it'll look like Kirlian Photography, but, instead of charging a conductive plate, SWIM is going to charge his whole freakin' body. There are several more aspects that I've left out, as I don't want to drag this post on much longer, though I am happy to discuss them if they come up. I welcome all input, and, time permitting, will update here as the experiment continues. If anyone finds themselves in a similar position as SWIM (in shape, clean eating [like, eats
only boiled rice w/ beans and corn], access to aforementioned equipment) and wants to give this a whirl, bring your results and let's discuss.
An idea that most here can readily attempt: make a psi-wheel that has a fairly small wheel, but is balanced on a relatively tall needle/post. Like a small sticky note balanced on a needle that's attached to straw, that's attached to a base that allows it to stand upright. Position the apparatus between you and an overhead light source, such as the shadow of the psi-wheel is sharp, and extends towards you. So, in a way, the shadow will be closer to you than the psi-wheel. Ingest low dose, enough to illicit perceptual perturbation, and spin the wheel. In SWIM's case, which would hopefully be similar for other individuals, he was able to determine that his perception of depth was dampened; while staring at the spinning wheel, notice, without looking, at the rotational speed of the shadow it creates. Your experience should speak for itself.
Thank you for your time!
