Is DMT a shortcut to God, or something far stranger?

In this rare interview, Dr. Rick Strassman — author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule — joins me to explore what people actually experience during powerful DMT trips. From visions of non-human entities to biblical-level encounters, this conversation will shake up everything you think you know about spirituality, science, and consciousness.

We talk about:

* Why DMT experiences aren’t always blissful

* Biblical visions (like Ezekiel’s) and DMT parallels

* Whether these beings are “real” or archetypal

* How Strassman’s views have evolved since his original research

* What this all means for the psychedelic renaissance

Your Mate Tom interviews Dr Rick Strassman about DMT, Entities, neuroscience and psychedelic research.
