I am quite annoyed that so few studies have been carried out on the effects of DMT.
I'd like to know any proposed theories on the cause for the oscillating effect accompanying/onset of every voyage.
Is it physiological? A product of the human mind seeing beyond it's natural field of mental vision? Something to do with internal balance? Opening of chakras? Supposedly the lowest chakras opening sound is described what i hear in onset... so clearly a trip is not the penultimate samadhi which is supposedly the toll of a bell, clear as day.
It's interesting to note that many times as the sound has built, insects have flown into my field of vision. Real insects. Mosquitoes and moths seem almost attracted to the spice. Perhaps the smell? Am I hyjacking my way onto inter-dimensional rockets? What the hell is that sound? What's your opinion? Wolf wants to know..

"why" haha NO IDEA!

Some call the extra ringing in your ears "the Carrier Wave," something like "the song of The Membrane" between us and hyperspace. theoretically you can focus on it, love it, and it may lunch you higher! but who knows.


I've played music for many years and often hear CRAZY techno-arcade music. Sometimes when it gets too annoying i try to recompose it and make some real REALLY cool stuff (of which i can never remember...).

Occasionally from nowhere i have NEW random sound clips pop into my head even as i'm trying to focus on what i've already created. I actually feel like i've *been given* them to play with and to see what i can do with them!

kindda like a way to interact WITHOUT interacting...

Psychedelic Information Theory covers oscillation effects of psychedelics pretty thoroughly.

Here's a cool discussion on BL that I found.

To chime in: One knows when they are about to go there because the transformation begins before the inhalation process has ceased, and the first thing always perceived aurally is this sense that ambient sounds (specifically anything except the human voice) and the human voice separate drastically (in relevance to perception and sensory data analysis) - there are times when when will listen to, say, Led Zep, and suddenly, it's Robert Plant singing with an accompaniment of space junk rattling, as if a weird multidimensional "solo" button got pressed on a stereo buss that includes only a weird group of the vocals and alien sounds. Human voice also gets wrapped in a weird sort of film and vibration, choppy with a slap-back delay and a tunnel verb.

There is a very distinct sense of sub-text in every voice perceived, as if there is an underlying message that augments the information, at times giving rise to anxiety and paranoia.

Someone described, in a thread I read, that their ottoman appeared "sneaky" - is that in this thread? I hope not. If so, my brain needs a break from the hammering.

It could just be temporary tinnutus caused by extra blood flow to the inner ear, or some sort of interference in that sensory part of the brain. I have tinnitus permanently so Im lucky to not get shocked by it. Still little is known of its cause.
Although it does digitize more like some sort of hyperspacial dial up modem, maybe we are dialling into a higher frequency

Was it not Terence Mckenna who used to describe the sound as 'this is radio-entelechy leaving the anterior fontanelle at the top of your head' - or in other words the noise of the soul leaving your body.

As visual as hyperspace may be, I find sound to be intrinsic to its nature as well. They are an interconnected kind of couple. I think it's sort of like asking why you hear birds chirping or why bubbles produce sound when they pop. Unless you're deaf or hearing impaired, you can't avoid it. The same goes for hyperspace, except there are no ears to cover in there.
