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 agree with you. I do not believe it is a shortcut to enlightenment. I do believe, however, that it purges one of negative energy. It allows one to know that everything is going to be alright, which you do not need psychedelics for. In my opinion, people that take it constantly and become reliant on it are missing the point and attempting to escape this reality, rather than using the experience to enhance their life and the life of others. When those entities are selflessly providing you with wisdom and knowledge, one should utilize that experience and metaphorically, "Bring Heaven down to Earth". Being of service to others, rather than living their life in another reality.
I agree with basically everything you said. It is not necessary, nothing is necessary. But it damn sure is cleansing and purifies the system, especially for those down on life or overly grounded in the material world.
Aha I think it is clear then that you have made the breakthrough and understand the chemical, or rather have an affinity for the intelligence behind it. For me, I get what you mean by the "cleanse" but something in my consciousness rejected it as artificial, so it didn't really quite "stick" to me. Not my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean I don't have my own tea preferences aha
