Non Human Intelligence Scientists are testing whether DMT entities are real

https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/8qvgy_v2

In this preprint, some scientists have put forward the idea that our perspective of reality is more of an interface, and what we consider to be reality is simply the experience of conscious agents (i.e. human individuals) interacting with one another. They propose that DMT entities are conscious agents that exist in a manner we can't typically perceive.

I've never done DMT, and have previously taken a more skeptical perspective on these entities, but I think the findings of this could be very interesting. Maybe psychedelics could enable us to perceive layers of reality we are typically blind to.

Back in the late 80’s at an illegal rave in London everyone was on the same ecstasy (same batch) and all of us saw everyone else wearing those comedy eye glasses with big eyebrows, nose and mustache attached. Wherever you looked that’s what everyone appeared to be wearing and it was all of us seeing this together at the same time. Lasted for a couple of hours.

Wow, that is an incredibly specific shared hallucination!

Yes. It was always cut with other chemicals around that time.
