What is DMT? 🪬

 

Dimethyltryptamine is a natural chemical substance that is produced in many plants and animals, including humans in the liver, lungs and pineal gland. Despite occurring naturally in us, it is famous for being the strongest psychedelic and has a reputation for inducing the biggest changes to our perception of reality. Also, it has been found that when someone dies, the brain releases DMT.

A common occurrence across experiences on DMT include leaving the body to another realm/dimension that seems more real, fractal and complex, where people have interacted with other entities, feel more knowledgeable and think more clearly. It is also common that people feel like they know the place, that they’ve been there before (“before this life”). DMT experiences can also include going through a tunnel/wormhole, seeing a bright light, seeing geometric patterns. 

Terence McKenna explains what to expect from a DMT experience in the two videos below.

DMT experiences are captured in the artwork and DMT (and ayahuasca) simulation videos that follow. You can also check out our article for more on what DMT is and the lessons learnt from DMT here, as well as the natural DMT brew of South America ayahuasca here.

 

DMT Trip Simulations and DMT Art 🖼️

 

Shawn Thornton and Alex Grey are famous DMT and ayahuasca artists. Shawn Thornton has cancer of the pineal gland (a pineal gland tumor), the gland that secretes DMT. Interestingly, this condition gives him the ability to see visions without consuming any stimulants. This is how he creates impressive DMT trip images. Other ways documented that catalyze the secretion of DMT without consuming stimulants include Kundalini Yoga and certain lights such as Ajna Lights. Artist Alex Grey opted to take DMT and details his first experience of it here:

To get your own virtual taster of the ‘spirit molecule’, check out the DMT Trip videos and DMT Trip pictures below. Some of the comments on the first video say that they recognise some of the faces later in the video (underneath the mushroom/mushroom hat). Also, artist Alex Grey’s artwork was used to create the second simulation video.

Note that the last image depicts Baphomet as a DMT Trip entity. Here is a quote on Baphomet:

“You’ve probably seen the image of Baphomet used as a stand-in for Satan. What you might not have learned, is how Baphomet has nothing to do with evil or Satanism and actually has a much more profound history.”

Baphomet is a symbolic figure representing the balance of opposites, esoteric wisdom, and transformation. The modern depiction, created by 19th-century occultist Éliphas Lévi, portrays Baphomet as a goat-headed, androgynous figure with various symbolic elements:

• Duality & Balance: Baphomet embodies the union of opposing forces—male and female, light and dark, good and evil. The Latin phrase on its arms, Solve et Coagula (dissolve and coagulate), represents destruction and creation.
• Occult Knowledge: Often associated with hidden wisdom, Baphomet serves as a symbol of enlightenment and initiation into mystical traditions.
• Spiritual Transformation: Its torch-lit head signifies illumination and self-discovery.
• Hermetic and Alchemical Principles: The figure aligns with alchemical traditions, where combining opposing elements leads to spiritual evolution.
• Freedom and Rebellion: In modern culture, especially within Satanism and left-hand path traditions, Baphomet represents personal freedom, defiance against oppressive dogma, and self-deification.

While originally tied to accusations against the Knights Templar, Baphomet has evolved into a powerful symbol in Western esotericism and modern occultism. More can be read on this here.

DMT ‘Trip Report’ 🧿

 

Linking to DMT simulation videos, here is also an interactive trip experience video explaining what DMT feels like visually, auditorily and conceptually:

As mentioned, DMT is said to be secreted from the pineal gland. Our article on the pineal gland can be viewed here, our DMT article here, and our ayahuasca (the natural DMT brew) article here.
