Might Shed Some Light...

In my recent journal I talked about documentary film on Netflix that I watched called DMT: The Spirit Molecule. Iwas interested in what was talked about and caught my attention is when they talked about the transcendence, that often more then not is talked about throughout the teachings. Wanted to share this as well as open it for discussion..

May the Force be with You All

Fascinating huh?

I have the book and it goes into tremoundous detail. I suggest checking that out if you get a chance if you are interested.

Oh definitly, I just remembered the name because of the movie Lucy.

Watching this also raised my curiosity, is meditation (besides a way to calm your mind) a way that some may be able to access the natural DMT that your brain creates??

Absolutely.

Source, please.

No source other then always seeking knowledge But if you want the source of the question watch the documentary

I was specifically asking about jedi_roz's assertion that meditation absolutely does help access DMT creation or deposits in our brains. That question was neither posed nor answered in the video. There is more to say however.
First, "seeking knowledge", while an honorable quest in itself, provided, of course, that knowledge is sought (or rather generated) in the process rather than statements absorbed for the sake of it, isn't a source of information but merely a quest.
Second, I personally would be very hesitant to call the video a documentary. A documentary is a broadcast programme that provides a factual report on a particular subject. A film about a study, that spends most of its time hearing out testimonies and speculations about implications while not once referencing any statement from the actual study, frankly, doesn't cut it. A film about a chemical substance that shares more material from artists and writers than from chemists or at least physicians, frankly, doesn't quite cut it. A film about a hallucinogenic drug that out of 70 minutes spends less than one explaining anything about how it works or why it works that way, frankly, just doesn't cut it.
Third, I question the authority of Mr. Strassman. Beside his books and "documentaries" that he is happy to sell on his website, he co-authored a stunning total of eight scientific papers since his medical graduation in 1977, one of which was a review of other people's work, one unrelated, and the first one that is related to DMT no sooner than 2009, a mere 14 years after the study the "documentary" reported on. His work was cited (as far as I could find, not excluding self-citations) 47 times and his h-index (determined from that data) is 4. Lest I be called out on commiting an ad hominem, I shall add that this does not mean that any one thing he states is incorrect. Rather it invites to double-check even his more trivial claims that some academics might just get away with.

In which I stated always seeking more knowledge, because nether jedi_roz, myself, or anyone else can say that they have the true answer

But this also being the reason to open the discussion is to always learn more from all views, opinions, myth, ect...
