Cutting-edge explorations and discussions of DMT experiences and plant sentience from leading luminariesin the field of psychedelic research.

Encounters with apparently sentient beings are reported by half of all first time users of the naturallyoccurring psychedelic DMT, yet the question of DMT beings and plant sentience, interspecies communication,discarnate consciousness, and perhaps even dialoguing with the divine has never been systematically explored.

Offering cutting-edge insights into this visionary domain, this book distills the potent exchange of ideasthat occurred at Tyringham Hall, including presentations and discussions on DMT entities, the pineal gland,the possibility of DMT as a chemical messenger from an externalraterrestrial civilization, the Amazonianshamanic perspective on Invisible Entities, morphic resonance, and the science behind hallucinations.Contributors to the talks and discussions include many leading thinkers in this field, including RupertSheldrake, Rick Strassman, Dennis McKenna, Graham Hancock, Jeremy Narby, Erik Davis, Ede Frecska,Luis Eduardo Luna, Peter Meyer, Jill Purce, David Luke, and Cosmo Feilding Mellen, among many others.

REVIEWS

"DMT Dialogues represents an important step in the scholarly conversation about the DMT world and theentities which inhabit it. By presenting insightful contributions from experts in psychology, anthropology,religious studies, and neuroscience, as well as the interdisciplinary discussions that followed, the editorshave provided the theoretical tools needed to start interpreting and understanding the DMT experience.As part of the Beckley/Imperial Research Programme we are currently investigating how DMT has its effectin the brain in a pioneering study using EEG and fMRI."

-Amanda Feilding, founder of The Beckley Foundation

"DMT is famous in the world of psychedelic research for inducing experiences that are short, a matter ofminutes, but with effects that are profoundly dazzling and lead to lengthy essays that try to explicatethe puzzle. It clearly affects the language centers of the brain! It has led to the recognition of DMTentities, which may or may not be a new class of weird beings, neither animal nor plant, molecular normetaphysical. This book is a fascinating series of explorations of the paradigm-busting and mind-blowingexperiences triggered by this substance. Just reading about them is mind-blowing!"

- Ralph Metzner, PhD, author of 'Searching for the Philosophers’ Stone'

"Preserved in the pages of this book are some of the most extraordinary presentations I have everhad the pleasure to read. It was my privilege to attend the 2017 Tyringham Initiative DMT Symposium andto learn firsthand from the assembled scientists and scholars about their research into DMT. Thissubstance opens doors into a hidden world, and to listen to--and read--these presentations is todiscover that powerful advances are being made into understanding its meaning and potential."

- Whitley Strieber, author of 'Communion and The Super Natural'

‍

"DMT Dialogues showcases the incredible, groundbreaking work of the Tyringham Initiative, which convenescutting-edge thinkers and scientists exploring the edge-realms of the psyche, with the intention offurthering humanity’s understanding of what lies beyond the edge of the known."

- Daniel Pinchbeck, author of Breaking Open the Head'

‍

"DMT has a rich cultural history, a radically vibrant contemporary social contexternal, complex biologicalmechanisms, theological and philosophical implications, and far-reaching implications for the science ofconsciousness. In DMT Dialogues, David Luke and Rory Spowers have curated an accessible anthology thatsparks off in many of these directions and then kindles them together into a Promethean fire for our times.Where do we go as a species with all this rising knowledge of the externalraordinary farther reaches of themind? Only time will tell, and I’m sure this book will help us find the way."

- Oliver Robinson, PhD, author of 'Paths between Head and Heart'

‍

"DMT Dialogues is a courageous attempt in the best tradition of the scientific process to wrestle with themeaning of anomalous DMT experiences, reported by a substantial number of people, involving the sense ofbeing in touch with alien intelligences. Like all great mysteries, there is no single interpretation thateverybody who participated in the DMT Dialogues arrived at by consensus. Reading DMT Dialogues will notbring you certainty but rather will bring you in direct contact with profound minds struggling to plumbthe depths of consciousness."

- Rick Doblin, PhD, executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies

‍

"These dialogues are a promising and positive attempt to create a pivotal shift in consciousness. Centeredon the farthest reaches of human experience, they offer fresh perspectives and open new doors. They meritbeing read--and read over and over again, in our own as well as in humankind’s most general interest."

- Ervin Laszlo, author of 'The Intelligence of the Cosmos'
