haven't been around much to join in these discussions but I have a number of comments:
Quote:Basically it is saying on the small molecular level, we have our atoms that are made out of neutrons/protons (in the nucleus) and surrounded by their electromagnetic field (electrons)
electromagnetic energy is photons. they interact with electrons to make electromagnetic fields. but you don't need neutrons or protons to make electromagnetic fields.
Quote:I came across the thought that knowing DMT is so loved by our bodies and is immediately broken down (unless MAOI is used) it is almost like we crave it as our pineal gland is completely permeable to the transport of DMT and is readily digested throughout the body or accepted into cells through receptors.
Yet we do not know the purpose of this molecule in the human body/nature's kingdom.
Our bodies don't "love" dmt. Our body just metabolizes it easy because it HAS too. Your body can't just let DMT float around and not break it down otherwise your brain couldn't function. MAOI's break down lots of similar neurotransmitters. There are other clean up the synapse processes going on in the brain as well its not all just MAOI. DMT is most likely a neurotransmitter in the human brain. Based on evidence thats the current idea about it. DMT is structurally related to many of our other neurotransmitters so its not a surprise at all really. Also because its a neurotransmitter doesn't downplay the fact that at higher doses its a powerful hallucinogen.
DMT exists in nature because it can exist in nature and because its easy to make. Many plants contain enzymes that can put methyl groups on amines. DMT might serve as a defense compound in some plant species. It might be an intermediate in other metabolism in the plant. There are many much simpler and more logical reasons why DMT is in nature.
Quote:I believe we do not know the purpose of it since we only analyze the molecule itself.
To know the purpose you need to know how and what the molecule interacts with in the body or plant. Its that simple. Its only now being researched in humans (and VERY limited research is going on) and in plants no one really cares enough to research why its there because its basically not an interesting compound from that perspective. No chemist really cares about it in that way its not new its simple its easily made etc.
Quote:In the most micro parts of the molecule, DMT is created by a certain frequency of energy. I think that it is not too far fetched to say that when we consume DMT into our bodies, this frequency of energy akin to a signal creates a door for our consciousness/soul/spirit to tune into...that allows YOU to leave to this strange familiar reality and once the signal in our body breaks down, we come back to our biological vessel of a body; almost like leaving your car while you go shopping. I believe this tiny tiny tiny powerful, vibrating, string frequency that composes the molecule DMT, combined with the receptors within us that love receiving this molecule cannot be a mistake by nature.
This statement makes no sense. DMT alters our perceptions and probably exists in the body because its involved in sensory perception. All psychedelics work by altering out perception machinery.
Quote:What reminded me of all of this is that feeling right after exhaling the first puff of DMT. The feeling of, oh everything is somehow a bit different now. The feeling of every cell in your body starting to humm and you feel a vibration in every inch of you and your ear drums vibrate with certain noise. The feeling that for the first time you notice that YOU are looking out through the eyes of this strange physical creature that 'carries' you through life. And as the string frequency of DMT continues in intensity throughout the body, there comes the part where you feel the very vibration of your soul/spirit/consciousness tunes into what DMT is created out of and you separate from your body... no, separate from our space-time dimension and enter into whatever this wonderful, horrifying, happy, neutral land of hyperspace that is composed of entities communicating with you as you tune into them.
Many people report experiences of feeling energies and making contact with energetic beings on dmt. That doesn't mean any of its "real". This can simply be explained by one statement "dmt at high doses administered exogenously alters perceptions". It really is that simple. All of its psychological effects are explained by this. However how it works mechanistically is another harder to figure out story.

Ps-> I would love to see the period of time where we have the technology to measure/analyze these frequencies that compose neutrons/protons and the information that would be gained from that
We have the technology to measure what protons and neutrons are made of. They are made of quarks and gluons (maybe a few other particles not sure). What those are made of (if anything) no one knows.
You need to remember that there is ZERO experimental evidence that string theory is real. It will never be accepted unless all other possible theories are calculated and falsified (even some string theorists admit that). Unless of course someone could experimentally create energies high enough to measure something that small which is basically impossible without building particle accelorators the size of the solar system (or something on that scale).
