I read much of Burroughs work before getting into all of this. I believe he provides a map of the territory as good as any. mistakes were made

It's a wonderfully insightful book, I'm reading it now and i love it. Strassmans way with words is very articulate and free flowing. Highly recommend it. Maybe we don't know what we need.

maybe I am just the outsider here or w/e..but i never found strassmans work all that interesting relative to what else is out there. Just my personal preference I guess. As a reference for clinical data on DMT its great though. The best book on short acting tryptamines(and relative to tryptamines in general) is James Oroc's "Tryptamine Palace" in my opinion. Long live the unwoke.

A decent book that just recently came out called "The DMT Diaries: From Materialism to Modern Mysticism" gives a good amount of quoting from a lot of the "classic" DMT literature (including the Spirit Molecule and Tryptamine Palace). While I may not agree with everything the author says (and it would be scary if I did, but then again I don't fully agree with either Strassman nor Oroc), it may be a good starting point. You can take notes on which of the sources that he references appeals to you, and which books you may therefore wish to pursue in depth. "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein
"The Mighty One appears, the horizon shines. Atum appears on the smell of his censing, the Sunshine- god has risen in the sky, the Mansion of the pyramidion is in joy and all its inmates are assembled, a voice calls out within the shrine, shouting reverberates around the Netherworld." - Egyptian Book of the Dead

Inner paths to outerspace was a good read. As others have said - tryptamine palace. True hallucinations was a really good read, along with invisible landscape.
I highly recommend 'Darkness Shining Wild".. the author is from the other end of the spectrum in terms of not so much praising the mystical experience. He accounts many of his experiences where essentially it was just too much for him to muster, and he wrote his commentary on the matter. Although, he mainly worked with 5-MeO-DMT, and not NN-DMT.
