I really did learn something new today

We now know what happens at death:

Resting comfortably in the recessed center of your brain, encased snugly within the corpus colossum, wrapped tightly between the dual-hemispheres of spongy nerve bundles, encased in the quarter-inch-thick armor-plating of skull, finally surrounded by your main and expressive organs with which you face the world, exists a tiny gland, long considered vestigial (serving little to no function), that holds the key to our interpretation of existence as we know it.  I’m speaking of the pineal gland. This minute spec, roughly the size of a grain of rice, is more heavily protected than even the heart with its literal cage of protection, because if something happens to your heart you die, but if something happens to your pineal, you can’t go to heaven.

Never heard of it?

This pineal gland has influences on both melatonin and pinoline, but our interest is in the gland’s role in the creation of dimethyltriptamine, or DMT. This chemical, DMT, may well be the reason we, as a species, are capable of sentience itself.

I’m not a chemist; break it down.

First, DMT is a narcotic, schedule 1. It’s scheduled as a highly illegal substance all over the planet, largely because DMT is one of the most potent psychedelics known to man. Intensely powerful. Yet, every day your pineal produces this stuff.

Secondly, DMT is the chemical that elicits dreams. That’s right. Each night as you drift to slumber-land, not only are you tripping on a psychedelic, but you’re also premeditatedly committing a federal offence; possession or consumption of DMT could land you a felony charge.

And third, this illegal gateway to dreamland is released in massive amounts at the moment of death. When I say massive, if a water glass of DMT evokes a dream, at death, an equivalent river excretes into your system. Any druggies reading this?

How have I not heard of this before?

Well, the pineal’s significance is neither a new idea, nor an unfounded one. Spanning the expanse of human civilization runs an undercurrent of worshipful adoration to the almighty pineal, more widely known as the inner eye, all-seeing eye, or the like – considered the body’s gateway to the soul.

Egypt had its Eye of Horus (now emblazoned on the US dollar bill). Hindu culture has its bottu (the familiar forehead dot). Even the ancient art of yoga recognizes the brow chakra, or ajna, as blossoming at the pineal, or third eye. That’s only to name a few.

The hell you say! The truth behind the cult of the pineal has gone largely unnoticed collectively, though the symbols themselves have been downright ubiquitous. Tibetan Buddhists, as well, have long carried a belief that the soul enters the fetus precisely 49 days after conception. Likely, reading this, you are not a Tibetan Buddhist – their numbers fall less than 20 million – and whether you subscribe to an eternal soul or not isn’t the point, because day 49 is the moment the pineal is formed in a fledgling brain.

Great, so what does all this have to do with death?

Well, on an experiential  level, shrooms distort perception, coke smacks you with raw energy, ecstasy grants superpower orgasms (ladies), and most notably, weed slows time – time distortion seems to go hand in hand with most psychedelics as well – so time passage then is totally subjective. Ask Einstein.

Meanwhile, among DMT smokers, out of the macrocosm of potential experiences, two major themes emerge nearly universally:

1) A stretching of time – they experience the hectic 6 or 7 minutes as a near eternity or lifetime. Imagine Cobb’s 50 year night in Inception.

2) They experience religious incarnations with a tilt toward whatever sect the subject is affiliated with.

Here’s the clincher: after death, while this massive psychedelic dose courses through the brain, there is this mysterious several minutes where the brain still functions. With our new perspective, however, we at last understand what these minutes are…

These few minutes after death, subjectively, are experienced as an eternity, engrossed in the DMT universe. Also, the trip itself is a highly personal experience dictated by the deepest realms of the subconscious.

Therefore, whatever at your deepest core you expect to happen when you die… Congratulations, that’s what’ll happen… Every religion was right.

Mystery solved. Peace on earth.

If you’re resourceful, you can find this stuff and try it. The bigger question now is: do you really want to know where you’ll be spending eternity?

Is this new information for anyone else? Honestly I find this amazing. Who would've thought that near-death experiences were simply creations of people naturally tripping balls on their body's own DMT. Sorry, straight-edgers, you can't just say no to this drug.

Discuss this interesting shit

meh

put that mirror down

Cool.

Heard it before long ago. Still not convinced and kinda meh.

wait so if I expect nothing to happen will I just be standing in an empty void of nothing like what happened to Squidward

It's romantic really. It just begs the question what is reality truly? If we can live an eternity at the moment of death because of a chemical reaction within our brain then what are we actually experiencing now?

apparently scientists hypothesize that this gland is responsible for our sentience and perception of time. If this is truly the case...there is still so much about the world around us that we don't know about.

Dreams are trippy af good post OP

The problem I see is that your dreams don't always just go with however you want them to. It's pretty much all conjecture.

I also rarely ever have dreams so that is another factor

According to science, you have them every night in REM sleep, but you just don't always remember them.

It makes me wonder if that's why some people are very punctual and others, like myself, cannot keep track of time no matter how hard they try. The pineal gland is also thought to be responsible for gifted sight meaning you can see into the spirit realm, and even a link into other dimensions.

Here's a cool article I found on that:

Yes but there are those who can control their dreams perhaps by utilizing the pineal gland.

i especially like how the article mentions Tibetan Buddhists and how they believe that it takes 49 days for a deceased soul to find a new home, yet on the 49th day of prenatal development, the pineal gland is formed.

This is some real thought-provoking shit, that's for sure

Well yeah but I thought you were supposed to remember most of them, I basically never do

I'm am very sensitive to what I call the Spiritual Realm and have been since I was a little girl.
I always wondered why only some could see it, and others not at all.
I was momentarily misdiagnoised as schzitfenic because of this.
I got a second opinion and they said it was just depression.
I know okay so I'm crazy, but then how come when I would see these strange beings others with me could also see them?
Is it possible that perhaps our pineall glands can connect on the same plane as other when there is a disturbance of a mass energy force such as a spirit.
It is well know that there are random pockets of energy trapped around the world and each force can create different psychological effects on someone.
So let's say when our bodies enteract with another dimentional energry force by releasing the DMT to better see the danger lurking by because two strings of the universe sometimes do touch and overlap briefly.
Which could be a reasoning behind apparitions.
Yes I brought up string theory.

I'm impressed this wasn't a copy pasta.

So, are you incoherently rambling for any good goal? Because going on about spirit realms, seeing things, blah, blah seems like a plea for attention, confusion based on hallucinations in the past, or desperately wanting something to be true and due to a large gap of ignorance you're making things up to try to fill in that gap.

I giggled when I read that because I love creepypastas.
No it's not a cry for help, but you can view what I say as you will.
I get help when needed, but IRL not on a forum that I just joined.
I'm an adult and I know the line and I'm sorry if I have insulted you
that was not my intension I was purely making a speculation
and yeah sure it could be completely skewed to you but
I was only sharing an idea.

Maybe my view is a gap,
but just like I asked earlier "what is reality truly?"
