Amen to that. I had "indulged" -- maybe over-indulged -- in various such psychotropic "door-openers" as a teenager. As my father -- Gawd rest his soul -- once said about his experiences in the army during WW2, "wouldn't have missed the experiences for a thousand dollars, but wouldn't do it again for a million".
At best, such door openers provide a great deal of enlightenment, but at worst they can sever all connections with anything that's "real" -- quote, unquote.
I think about DMT constantly. I desire experience at least once in my life. If I’m ever diagnosed with terminal illness, I hope to seek this out. I think it might be the essential first treatment stage. Need a plan.
I wish you had said more about how DMT "defies reality". I've never tried psychedelics, so I can only imagine how it might affect me in the moment, and ever after. And you gave a strong caution about going to a state where DMT is legal, but I am left wondering what the legal downsides might be. Perhaps you can post a follow-up article.
What's wrong with Magic Eye Illusions? It's an all-round shame they can only be seen online! These are "see-them-yourself" holograms quite popular in the first half of the 1990s. I call them American Bernini after the Italian baroque sculptor in the 1600s. Peter, you should contact Cheri Smith in Provincetown MA for them to be rebooted!
This is not the best way to reach you, Peter, but I sent an email to your Substack email addy about the subscriber podcast link that was sent to me when I paid for a subscription — but the lastest podcast was from, I think, 2022. Do you not use podcasts anymore?

As a starting point, you might check out Huxley's Doors of Perception, an allusion to a poem by William Blake, on his experiences with mescaline:
