Then perhaps you are one of the few who has made the breakthrough. I have tried DMT, and I have many friends who have tried it and some who are very passionate about it but I wouldn't in any regard say it is by definition a "doorway to the soul" but rather some people are with the affinity for it that it works in harmony in that way. For others, it is nothing of the sort.
It is all well and good to tout the benefits of your own experience, but it makes little sense to me to then assume that that is going to be a consistent experience for all others.
I am very, very wary of any "short-cuts" to experience, having taken quite a few myself and finding I have not actually gotten all that much farther ahead.
Also, making a key point here that any sort of ingested/smoked DMT is NOT the same as the actual release of the chemical in the brain, completely different phenomenon.
I have just seen friends who have completely deranged and confused their minds in the pursuit of "knowledge" and wisdom from psychedelic substances and so any time I see anyone willy-nilly suggesting that they are awesome for everyone, I have to say my thoughts on the matter. The biggest lesson I ever learned on psychedelics is that they are completely and utterly unnecessary.
I am happy for you that you have found benefit in your experiences as well, of course.
