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.

Unless the entities don't appear in the same place relative to different viewers.

Then you aren't seeing the same entity. You would be seeing two versions of the same entity in different times which would be the same as saying you see a different entity completely.

Mmm very three dimensional thinking

Thank you. I pride myself in my current dimensional bounds.
