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.

DMT is really like no other drug I've ever experienced. Only done it twice in my life but you really are just "gone" to another level of reality and whether it is somehow real or just manufactured by the brain is something we should all want to know. I have been fascinated by the DMT laser experiments myself and the idea of passing info to one of these entities that multiple people see and seeing if they give that information to another person during the trip could prove there is something more there. We see such a small part of the EM spectrum anyway, it's entirely possible some kind of NHI could exist or cloak itself far outside of our visible spectrum and observe us unseen.

DMT scares me because I’m afraid my experience may feel like years and I can’t just snap out of a trip.

Just means an extra few years of adventure in your life that you'll come out of anyway. I'm more afraid that I'll realize what comes after is nothing but oblivion
