One of the Greatest Treasures of Humanity lies deftly hidden in the heart of the Human Brain. The Treasure is not Material.

It is a Gateway - a gateway leading to our deepest origins that is activated when the pineal gland secretes a hormone similar to melatonin. We call this secretion METAtonin, a similar but Higher Octave of melatonin. The chemically active ingredient in METAtonin is known as DMT.

We have attempted to compile all the relevant information on this subject complete with internet references so that you can learn about this wondrous gift that we have been endowed with. Welcome to the METAtonin Research website.

METAtonin is a close cousin of melatonin. Melatonin, as you probably already know, is a secretion of the pineal gland that encourages our consciousness to enter the sleeping state. METAtonin is from the same chemical family as melatonin; it is produced by the same gland and it also affects consciousness, but in a more pronounced way. The METAtonin messenger does not suppress waking self-consciousness the same way melatonin does during sleep; instead it modifies the borders of consciousness by temporarily reprogramming our brain circuitry in a unique way allowing self-consciousness to separate from body consciousness while remaining aware. The main psychoactive ingredient in METAtonin is chemically known as DiMethylTryptamine or DMT.

Index: click on subject. Introduction: Consciousness and the Pineal Gland The pineal gland has always held an elevated status in the records of most ancient cultures. Today it is credited with its ability to secrete melatonin and regulate our circadian cycles, but where is there mention of it being “the third eye” or “the window of the soul”?

Recent scientific discoveries have begun to reveal just how significant the pineal gland really is. Each family of glands in the endocrine system secrete hormones that stimulate certain aspects of bodily function: reproduction, metabolism, growth, etc. The pineal gland secretes hormones that modulate the state of consciousness. The hormone that stabilizes waking consciousness is serotonin – which is produced by several organs and glands in the body, including the pineal gland. The pineal gland also stores a high concentration of serotonin and converts it to melatonin, the hormone that stabilizes our sleeping state, during the night.

Using a similar conversion process, the pineal gland can also produce a more complex form of melatonin which we call METAtonin, a higher octave of melatonin. Melatonin puts waking self-consciousness to sleep while the body continues to function, rest and repair; METAtonin goes one step further by allowing waking self-consciousness to remain awake but free from its connection to the resting physical body. Melatonin functions on a daily basis, METAtonin is rarely, if ever, produced. Melatonin is easy to detect in the blood; METAtonin is not, for there is a scavenger in the blood that readily destroys it. METAtonin is elusive, yet very powerful and it plays a role in activating one of our many hidden human potentials It has long been suspected that the pineal gland secretes some type of neurochemical messenger and several noted authors have suspected that it is DMT based. Recently several scientific discoveries have verified this suspicion. It has been proven that the human pineal gland has a cellular structure and the essential DNA sequence required for the production of DMT. Furthermore it has been proven by the Cottonwood Research Foundation of New Mexico that the pineal gland of rodents does indeed produce endogenous DMT:, or visit section 3.

Rodents and humans have a very similar cellular structure and that is why they are used for endocrine research. It may be a while before it is verified that elusive METAtonin, endogenous DMT, is produced by the human pineal gland, for it is difficult to obtain samples of hormones produced in the center of the brain, and furthermore, in the course of our normal daily lives there is rarely a need for the pineal gland to produce this extraordinary consciousness enhancer. The challenge that researchers face is that they must obtain samples of cerebral spinal fluid from the center of the brain during an extraordinary moment. Pineal secreted METAtonin allows us to experience a dimension of human consciousness above the normal or default level of awareness. The first dimension of consciousness, pure unfettered self-consciousness, was experienced in the womb from about the 49 th day of gestation until birth.

Upon birth, our self-consciousness is suddenly thrown into the physical world of the additional dimensions of space and time. In this new dimension of consciousness, one is gifted with a toolbox of the 5 physical senses, the flow of time and the awareness of being a separate body.

As we grow, we become accustomed to the parameters of this body and also develop the instinctive bodyguard awareness of the ego. By the time we are 7 years old our self-ego-body default consciousness is well formed and it becomes our basic mode of existence and binding force of our human physical existence until we die and again return to the unfettered state of consciousness or Consciousness Beyond Life, that is, beyond human life. However there is the option of an additional dimension of human consciousness that can be experienced during a lifetime, when, under the influence of METAtonin, the brain circuitry is so modified that self-consciousness is able to separate from ego/body consciousness, and travel in the many levels of consciousness that exist in parallel to the physical world including the world of dreams, archetypes, psychological imagery, spiritual realities and parallel planes of consciousness. The pathway to this enhanced level of consciousness is available to all humans; it is hard-wired into our brain architecture, like a homing circuit, although it is rarely activated. Those of us who pursue creative/spiritual lifestyles may sometimes experience or temporarily access this enhanced perspective: it being a main source of inner inspiration, creation and illumination. This dimension of illumination is accessed by special stimulation of the pineal gland which then formulates the secretion, METAtonin, whose main active ingredient, DMT allows one to enter this additional dimension of human consciousness or OBC, Out-of-Body Consciousness.

An event of this nature rarely occurs in the course of a lifetime - maybe only once, but when it does, it is not forgotten and in many cases it results in the development of a whole new perspective and direction in life. The potential for internally produced DMT-based METAtonin to influence the circuitry of the brain has been an ever-present component of human existence and througho ut history, the influence of its effect may have played a part in many of our greatest discoveries and epiphanies.

In fact, the Greek word for the pineal gland is “epiphysis” from which the word epiphany is derived. The pineal gland is also referred to as the “third eye” in many religions and cultures including Egyptian, Buddhist, Druidic, Hindu, Hasidic, Ancient Greek, Islamic, Taoist, Zoroastrian, Sufi, Mayan, Tibetan and Aboriginal cultures to mention a few:. METAtonin is the active pineal gland secretion that dissolves the borders of consciousness and can act as a portal to the universe of the subconscious and hyper-physical phenomena; one of these phenomena is commonly known as an out-of-body or OBE experience; another is the NDE or Near Death Experience, both of which will be discussed later on. The pineal gland is so named due to its similarity in shape to the pinecone, a symbol that is used in many religious themes including the giant pine cone statue at the Vatican, originally from Egypt, and the pine cone at the top of the pope's staff and the cone atop Buddha's head. Science has yet to confirm whether consciousness itself has a physical component, and though several experiments in this area have been made, none are conclusive. It is generally assumed that consciousness could not exist without the framework of the brain, but again, this has yet to be proven.

Consciousness appears to be a form of software with a unique self-renewing, self- knowing feedback loop, an ouroboros, that is cradled in the circuitry of the brain, that much is known. Discoveries in quantum and theoretical physics have further encouraged inquiry into the phenomenon of consciousness, for it appears to be one of the fundamental formative forces in the universe - perhaps the first, be sure to visit chapter five for further information. Furthermore, consciousness is required to apprehend a virtual image, and an observer is required for the recognition of a virtual image. Recent research indicates that quantum reality and memory are both based on holographic virtual information, thus requiring a conscious observer to bring information into corporeal reality. Several researchers have also suggested that the pineal gland may prove to be more than just a hormone production gland, it may also contribute visual imagery to our visual cortex, a second visual platform so to speak. The pineal gland may be called the third eye, but it is not a third eyeball. It has no lens, pupil or iris, but it does have a retina.

In fact, the pineal gland may prove to be more like a television receiver. Several unique properties of this gland may contribute to the visual aspect of a METAtonin experience. One theory is that the matrix of corpora arenacea crystals in the pineal gland may be able to interpolate scalar holographic-hyperspace information into a physical realm signal that is then converted into photons by piezoluminescent DMT microcrystals in suspension. The photons emitted from the DMT microcrystals are converted into a neural signal by photosensitive pinealocytes in the gland then sent to the visual cortex via a neural pathway, hence, the television receiver theory. No other endocrine gland or area of the brain or body has this unique arrangement of specific biological components. Details of this theory will be discussed later on. The contents of this research resource are derived mainly from observed scientific phenomena as well as some well-founded speculation.

We are attempting to provide the general public with the broad spectrum of information available regarding the pineal gland and its relationship with endogenous DMT. In some cases we have simplified scientific concepts to make them more understandable and we have used some sources that are not from the established scientific community but, in our opinion, worthy of consideration. For exclusively scientifically legitimate pineal gland research please visit:. If you have experienced a powerful Out-of-Body experience, be it a waking OBE, an Near Death Experience or a Lucid Dream experience and are looking for an explanation, you have come to the right place. There are other possible explanations: glutamate, and bicameral brain shift, for example, but the pineal gland and its' DMT-based secretion, METAtonin, is a prime candidate.

We will begin with a technical discussion of the consciousness portal chemical itself: DMT. As mentioned earlier, synthetically produced DMT when it is sold on the street is categorized as a class one controlled illegal substance.

The neurohormone METAtonin contains this same chemical, but, as such, it is internally produced by the pineal gland and is an essential component of our neurological, psychological and spiritual makeup. It is suspected that METAtonin performs an essential psychological function during gestation, early childhood and during the death process and at times in the midst of our lives.a function that we can all benefit from understanding. Origin of the word METAtonin Presently, there is no way to differentiate the pure chemical DMT (an illegal schedule 1 substance) from the internally produced, or endogenous, form.

The name METAtonin is an attempt to differentiate these two: the natural internal source from all others: here is the logic>melatonin and METAtonin are both derivatives of serotonin. Serotonin is a member of the tryptamine family; Melatonin is a member of the methyltryptamine family and METAtonin is a member of the dimethyltryptamine family.

Melatonin is a derivative of serotonin (serotonin + one methyl molecule), METAtonin, in essence, is a derivative of Melatonin (melatonin + one methyl molecule). Each of these is a higher octave of the previous one. Hence METAtonin - a higher octave of melatonin. Each of these hormones neurochemically shapes the state of consciousness in a unique way.

See detailed info on the name METAtonin and on the synthesis of DMT at the end of this article* Serotonin is an extremely versatile neurohormone that regulates digestion, growth, reproduction, aging, bone metabolism, cardiovascular function and in the brain it modulates learning, memory, and psychological well-being and many anti-depressant drugs attempt to control the level of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is principally produced by liver and intestines and is delivered throughout the body via the cardiovascular system. The pineal gland also produces serotonin and stores it as well; in fact, it contains the most serotonin-rich tissue in the human body. The reserve of serotonin maintained by the pineal gland is held there for the production of the pineal hormones melatonin and METAtonin. Melatonin production is instigated by the pineal gland in periods between cycles of light, blue light in particular.

Newly discovered blue light sensitive ipRGCells in the retina inform the pineal gland via an optic nerve pathway. Melatonin activates our sleeping state, this being a function of our ocular-endocrine system. Melatonin allows waking self-consciousness to rest so that our body consciousness can focus on its work of repairing itself without the meddling distractions of the ego/body consciousness and the various physical activities of the body associated with the waking state. Melatonin silences conscious awareness, METAtonin relaxes the body also, but, as explained further, does not suppress conscious awareness.

For a more detailed explanation of melatonin production, the function of the suprachiasmatic nuclei and circadian rhythms, visit: l. Melatonin may also increase light sensitivity in nocturnal environments, see:. Melatonin also modulates the level of testosterone in maturing males.

Serotonin Melatonin METAtonin METAtonin allows self-consciousness to remain active and simultaneously separate from its attachment to the resting body. This is a powerful experience, but it is rare. Unlike melatonin, METAtonin is not produced or secreted by the pineal gland on a regular daily basis, in fact, it is very rarely produced at all - except in crucial situations. Also, METAtonin is not primarily delivered to its target, the central brain, via the blood. Once DMT enters the blood supply, it is immediately destroyed by the DMT scavenger monoamine oxidaise or MAO. For this reason, unlike all other hormones, it is very difficult to measure METAtonin, endogenous DMT, levels in the blood. Since it is rarely produced and, furthermore, difficult to detect by standard methods, METAtonin earns its first attribute of being elusive.

Its second attribute is that it is also extremely powerful: as in its chemical acronym DMT, which is very apt, it is the DynaMiTe of hormones. Adrenaline empowers the body in crucial situations, METAtonin, similarly, empowers consciousness by modulating the neural network of the brain in crucial and enlightening conditions by allowing fully aware self-consciousness to escape the confines of the physical body. Hence, METAtonin is both powerful and, at the same time, elusive.

METAtonin is the exclusive pineal secretion that is predominantly DMT, but like any other secretion may contain minor amounts of additional cofactors that refine and target a specific goal or effect – in this case, the nature and intensity of an out-of-body experience, profound epiphany or lucid dream. A simple analogy that is often used is to compare the states of consciousness that the pineal gland modulates is the situation of a jet pilot. Considering the major occupations of a pilot, who is either is landed on the ground (as in sleeping, melatonin) or cruising in the air (flying, awake, serotonin), there is the third option to be considered which may never be used but must be accessible at all times, that is, the emergency ejection seat.

METAtonin is the escape option, it allows the self-aware consciousness circuit to escape its normal task of overseeing the body. When activated, which is rarely called for, METAtonin has a profound effect on consciousness, booting it to the altogether unfamiliar realm of being outside its normal occupational location, the body. DMT - the consciousness escape hatch The actual process of METAtonin production takes place when the pineal gland internally secrets an enzyme called methyltransferase ( INMT) that catalyzes two methyl groups to combine with a serotonin molecule, thus resulting in endogenous DMT or METAtonin. Recent research is verifying the presence of this enzyme in the human pineal as well as the presence of the gene associated with its production. When needed, the pineal gland can produce a surge of METAtonin that is immediately delivered to the central brain via the cerebral spinal fluid and possibly the blood if the heart is functioning at that time.

Endogenous or internally secreted DMT is also produced by other organs such as the lungs, the largest producer, the retina, the thyroid gland and many other body tissues in varying amounts. In normal situations, endogenous DMT produced by these organs enters the blood stream where it is quickly destroyed by MAO (MonoAmineOxidase) a blood-borne tryptamine scavenger. Therefore, due to the presence MAO, METAtonin produced near the center of the brain cannot be accurately detected by sampling the blood stream. Endogenous DMT in the blood, even in small amounts can have a subtle debilitating effect on one’s normal state of consciousness and mental equilibrium, for this reason MAO continually scours the blood and destroys any trace amounts of endogenous DMT. When activated, the pineal gland produces a surge of METAtonin that is quickly absorbed by the central brain before MAO can destroy it; this surge is quick and intense enough for self-consciousness to make the quantum leap from an integrated state of combined self/body consciousness to distinctly separated states of free-floating self-consciousness and auto pilot body maintenance consciousness.

This quantum leap can sometimes induce a great deal of psychological turmoil, particularly if the subject is not prepared for the experience and naturally tries to resist it - which happens quite often. Please note that the inhibitory function of MAO may be exercised at diminished levels (thus raising the default level of METAtonin) during adolescence and even to a more diminished degree during gestation when METAtonin may play an important role in the introduction of consciousness to the evolving embryonic brain, see the Birth of Consciousness section. METAtonin and the creation of neural pathways The three-pound human brain consumes 1/5th of the total electrical power produced by the body or about 25 watts/hour.

There is no doubt that the brain is obviously a computer-like bioelectrical organ, but a closer look at the 85 billion neutrons that comprise the circuitry of the brain will reveal that the surface skin of each neuron is made up of thousands of 'taste buds' or receptors. When these receptors are stimulated, they alter the actual circuitry of the neuron.

In a sense, the neurons provide the electrical framework of the brain, but it is neurohormones that establish and modify the actual operating systems, that is, neurons and glial cells comprise the hardware of the brain and neurochemicals are the software. Therefore the brain should be seen as a bioelectro chemical collaboration. Receptors on Neurons Like its sisters, METAtonin molecules lock into the receptors of a discrete family of neurons in the brain ( 5- HT2A receptors). When these Sigma-1 neuron receptors of the METAtonin-sensitive family are stimulated, they temporarily create a new neuron pathway in the brain architecture, a new consciousness feedback loop, much like an alternative operating system in a computer. In addition, DMT stimulates TAARs (trace amine associated receptors) that are also known to accelerate synaptic activity. This temporary alteration results in a highly clarified and heightened self-directed consciousness that is temporarily separated from its usual assignment: that of being the ego caretaker of the body.

When it receives the appropriate signal from another area of the brain, the pineal gland can produce a surge of METAtonin that will saturate the cerebral spinal fluid in the surrounding brain area for a short while. By no strange coincidence, the pineal gland is located in the very center of the brain at the junction of the main ventricle through which cerebral spinal fluid flows throughout the brain and, in particular, which surrounds its nearest neighbor, the thalamus, which is the central juncture for all incoming and outgoing cranial signals (see the Seat of Consciousness section).

Suddenly the body enters an autonomous state much like auto-pilot, and self-consciousness is allowed to exit the confines of the brain/body circuitry via the METAtonin pathway. Thus, one is entering Out-of-Body Consciousness. Usually, those who experience a sudden separation of self-consciousness from host body consciousness when they are unprepared for it, find the sensation to be extremely frightening and disorienting. In many cases unprepared people who experience such a sudden separation may think that they have temporarily gone insane, and, when the experience has passed, do their best to erase it from their memory. This erasure is easily accomplished because experiences that have no cultural memory tag or linguistic anchor are easily erased. The purpose of this article and the many others like it is to bring the concept of the pineal gland and the Out-of-Body Experience phenomenon into the common vernacular. METAtonin may function on a subtler level also, at a diminished and steady level, a basal level, during gestation.

In this instance it may serve as the usher of consciousness. This is discussed later on. Sleep Paralysis and the hypnagogic state When an unprepared person first encounters the state of free-floating consciousness brought on by a METAtonin release, the initial effect may seem like total body paralysis, since self-consciousness has been relieved of its association with, and control of, the body. One of the most common forms of this paralysis is sleep paralysis which is encountered at the borders of sleep. Clinically, if one experiences sleep paralysis upon waking, this is known as 'hypnopompic' sleep paralysis ().

If the sensation is felt when entering a sleep state, then it is called a 'hypnagogic' event. In this state, the body framework and body over control have been placed in autopilot, similar to the sleeping state, i.e. Self-consciousness is fully aware, but it has been relieved of its’ responsibility for the host body. This can be a very frightening until the subject realizes that he/she has been freed of the restraints of, and responsibility for, the body and is now able to travel anywhere consciousness determines, just by using the vector of thought. Personally, I experienced six sleep paralysis episodes before I overcame the panic an fear associated with unexpected paralysis and allowed myself to fly free.

Sleep paralysis is not the only precursor to a pineal-activated METAtonin OBE epiphany. Sometimes the slightest gesture or touch can trigger it, that is, when one is at a trigger point. This is usually the case when one is experiencing a great deal of emotional stress or anticipation in which case it takes a very slight signal to trigger the event. Many a devotee has been tapped on the forehead by a guru to be sent on a kundalini ascension.

The devotee assumes that the guru created the experience when actually the event came through the devotee's own pineal gland and the guru saw that it was the right time to deliver the catalyst. Don't let Sleep Paralysis scare you - it may be a blessing misunderstood Nor is the unfolding of an Out-of-Body experience always instantaneous, the transition can sometimes be more gradual: one can slowly make the transition with precisely tuned aid visual or auditory stimulation. Recently, two Austrian scientists psychologist Dr.

Engelbert Winkler and Dr. Dirk Proeckl have developed a device known as the Lucia Light Simulator that uses specially timed flashing lights to activate the hypnogogic state of mind via the optic nerve. This device is described by the two inventors in an interview with Anthony Peake:.

This device is now being produced and marketed in Europe: and the US and is claimed to create a “hypnogogic light experience” that may be used to encourage physical and psychological healing. There is also Ajna light therapy, visit:. In the near future virtual reality software may also prove to be effective in stimulating the pineal gland and several are in the works. The inventor Thomas Edison was known to access the hypnogogic state when seeking answers to technical problems. He would sit in a chair with two large steel balls in his hands; after posing a question he would close his eyes and enter a sleeping state. As he reached the edge of sleep, he would drop the balls, suddenly awaken, and, in many cases, his answer would be in mind. Also, there is the practice of yoga nidra which is focused on a deep relaxation exercise that develops in a into a conscious hypnogogic state: The Grip of the Ego Our body creates a very strong bond with our self-consciousness through the development of the ego, which is absolutely essential for physical survival.

As we mature, particularly in egocentric Western society, the ego and consciousness become inseparable; to attempt a separation of the two is not an easily accomplished task. Our ego does its best to discourage any such separation, and it will usually muster up its full arsenal of fearful emotions at the onset of such a separation in order to retain the bond between self-consciousness and the physical host. The main function of the ego is, after all, is to protect and encourage the integrity of body-centered consciousness and body survival.

The vanity fair ego doesn't want consciousness to wander off from its appointed task. In a sense, the ego guards the gates to the entrance of the portal, and it can do a very effective job. Martin Ball Ph.D. Does a very good job of describing this:. However, there are certain circumstances that can instigate a METAtonin cascade.

At the onset of a natural METAtonin event, one may have to pass through a curtain of ego-induced fear that may be accompanied by the additional sensation of body paralysis or sometimes dread. Preceding the sensation there may be a pulsing ' whuffing' sound/pressure wave that seems to come from all sides. The immediate sensation is that one is being trapped; trapped inside a paralyzed body, this is an understandable emotional misinterpretation - but actually, one is being released.

The body is being suspended and protected in an auto-pilot mode so that consciousness is free to roam. This can amount to an altogether frightening yet enlightening experience. Once past the gamut of the ego fear grip, consciousness is suddenly free to roam beyond the body.

Those who take the synthetic path and partake of an appropriate dosage of synthetic DMT usually experience an accelerated transition without any ego grip and are literally popped out of their body instantly and, as a projectile, can end up landing almost anywhere. Pineal-based eogndenous DMT experiences may tend to be less chaotic, more gentle, personal and more memorable.

It is important to make a distinction here: when one uses an outside source of chemical stimulation to change the state of consciousness, one is entering a state of altered consciousness; when one is experiencing a higher state of consciousness that is stimulated by a natural, internal, endogenous hormone, one has entered state of enhanced consciousness; a state of consciousness that is an integral facet of human experience, one that quite possibly be experienced during a lifetime and one that we most certainly will experience at the time of death. METAtonin as a gateway to transcendent reality It is believed that METAtonin is found at high concentrations in the blood of children during gestation, at birth and up to the age of three or more. The theory is that METAtonin plays role in the gradual introduction consciousness to the embryonic brain, this is supported by the fact that the human placenta is found to have high concentrations of the INMT, the enzyme required to convert the amino acid tryptamine into METAtonin (see link to Dr. Frecska below). After being born the METAtonin levels gradually decrease as the infant ego/body consciousness evolves.

In reverse role, as the body deteriorates when approaching death, and particularly at the moment of death, METAtonin eases the return of consciousness to its original source. In a Federally sponsored study conducted by Dr. Rick Strassman, author of The Spirit Molecule, at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, subjects were intravenously fed synthetic METAtonin (DMT) at elevated levels (). Strassman noted that many of these subjects described experiences similar to the descriptions of the near death experiences that have been reported by both Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in her book, On Death and Dying: ) and Dutch cardiologist Dr. Pim Van Lommel in his book: Consciousness Beyond Life, and concluded that NDEs were most likely a result of endogenous DMT Dr.

Van Lommel also suspects that pineal-secreted DMT, METAtonin, is responsible for facilitating this dual transition. It has been verified that the level of endogenous DMT is elevated in newborns but elevated levels have not yet been verified for gestation and early adolescence; nor has it been established to be present in the central brain at the moment of death.

However research at the University of Michigan Health Department by Dr. Jimo Borjigin and Dr. George Mashour has revealed that 30 seconds past the cessation of blood flow to the brain of a rodent there occurs ' a widespread, transient surge of highly synchronized brain activity that features electrical signatures of consciousness exceeding levels found in the normal waking state, suggesting that the mammalian brain is capable of well-organized electrical activity during the early stage of clinical death'. It may be that a component of this final surge may be the stimulation of the pineal to produce endogenous DMT, thus escorting consciousness from the body.

DMT is also a necessary neuro hormone for proper brain function and is welcome to pass into the brain via the blood-brain barrier. Hungarian researcher Dr. Ede Frecska, further posits that endogenous DMT also has a physiological role in that it helps extend the life of the brain during periods of oxygen deprivation. He notes that both the brain and lungs store reserve DMT in small vesicles, and that the lungs with their prodigious production of DMT, METAtonin, are more capable of flooding the brain with DMT than the pineal gland. Visit: In fact, it may be discovered that endogenous surges of DMT may be the result of an orchestrated conjunction of lung, brain and pineal functions. METAtonin may also be released at other times during a lifetime to create an epiphany, either spontaneously or by design.

The experience sparked by a METAtonin release contains two essential qualities: First, one is very calmly and truly fully conscious, fully awake and sober; and, second, one also finds oneself in a place that is totally unnatural and, yet, it may strangely feel very much like being at home again, thus, OBC, Out-of-Body Consciousness. For example: one is fully awake and finds oneself floating above their own body and is able to fly wherever their thoughts take them, or they may be transported to a unique otherworldly culture; some experience a tunnel of light leading to the center of the galaxy or to an angelic realm. An extremely emotional or painful experience can trigger a METAtonin cascade: suddenly one is swept above their immediate locality to see themselves and their situation at a great distance and with a great understanding and awe.

METAtonin induced experiences are generally short-lived, but they can have a very lasting, life-altering effect. Furthermore, if the METAtonin release takes place while one is sleeping, one will find themselves fully awake and in conscious control of their dream state commonly known as 'lucid dreaming'. Epiphanies can be life changing Higher intelligence and consciousness exists at the quantum-entangled time transcendent holographic infinitely intelligent universal macro-micro all-pervasive level. Humans exist on a limited mental/physical single-track time-space macro level. DMT or METAtonin can act as a consciousness quantum booster if properly ingested and prepared for. This is a huge jump for our limited consciousness to take, so be warned.

Of course, METAtonin is not ingested, it is naturally secreted by our body when such an event is internally called for; DMT, on the other hand, can be purchased on the street. Extreme care are should be taken if this artificial short cut approach is experimented with. DMT is unlike any other mind-altering substance. It won't get you 'high'. In fact, 'you' won't even be there.

According to the accounts of those who have partaken of a full-fledged synthetic DMT dosage, the traveler immediately passes out and revives about 10 minutes later. During that 10 minutes, one is booted to a parallel plane of existence that can be exhilarating, nightmarish, extra-terrestrial, inspirational or all of the above.

Terrance Mckenna gives a good description: This is not a drug to be experimented with lightly. It is a federally classified class one illegal substance for good reason. Those who do use carefully prepared DMT-based brews in a religious context, such as the shamans of Peru, go through years of extensive training. For those who seek information on proper preparation and consumption of DMT-based entheogens, consult:, The Entheogenic University. Enthogen: from the Greek: 'becoming divine within', a chemical substance, typically of plant origin, that is ingested to produce a nonordinary state of consciousness for religious or spiritual purpose. South American Shaman Some prefer the natural approach; start meditating and concentrate on the pineal, if you can extend the periods of mind-silence, things will begin to happen. It worked for me, although I had no particular goal in mind at the time.

I was a serious practitioner of meditation in the early 70's and, after a series of sleep paralysis episodes, I had a major Shakti METAtonin breakthrough in 1973 that was totally unexpected and completely life-transforming. At first, I just accepted my experience, but after a while, the scientist in me began to inquire. It wasn't until the year 2000 that things came into focus and the result of my inquiries led to the development of this web resource. Shaping the METAtonin experience In most cases, the intensity of a METAtonin/DMT experience is influenced by the original intent of the traveler, the traveler’s state of mind and the surrounding physical environment. If the traveler has no intent or direction in mind, the event may end up being euphoric or catastrophic.

On the other hand, if the traveler is well-informed, mentally prepared and has calmed and focused frame of mind experienced with some form of meditation, the traveler may be rewarded with a more meaningful destination; see the 'Setting and Mindset' section. One who is interested in this phenomenon may want to experience a service at the Church of Santo Daime that has several branches in the US and many more worldwide. This syncretic (or reconciliatory) church originated in Brazil; as part of the church ritual, the congregation partakes of a mild natural daime (or ayahuasca, ) DMT- based tea, then the group is led through an inspirational group meditation. The church setting provides a very supportive, caring atmosphere. For info visit:.

Several court cases objecting to the use of daime have been brought before the U.S. Supreme Court, to date all these cases have been decided in favor of the church. There are also many forms of meditation that are oriented towards attaining a natural METAtonin experience or Shakti kundalini, this is a slower, steadier path, but, then again, the results usually prove be more lasting. In many indigenous cultures specially trained shamans use herbaceous compounds to activate the METAtonin neural pathways, such as the Peruvian shamans,, who focus on the plant world to obtain information on herbaceous healing compounds. According to Dr. Jeremy Narby, author of The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge, o ver 74% of today's pharmacopoeia's plant-based formulas come from indigenous societies.

The rights to the formulation of these herbal mixtures are usually sold to major pharmaceutical companies who then synthesize them. Other travelers, such as ancient Mayan astronomers used their chemically induced trance states to glean accurate information on the size, age and major cycles of our solar system, our galaxy and nearby stars without telescopes. Australian archeologists have found cave paintings made by aboriginal shamans that graphically illustrate gene duplication; this is usually only observable through a high power electron microscope (see Jeremy Nearby’s book). All of these visionaries are raised in a culture that respects and culturally accepts such travels. Shamans who engage in such explorations are trained from childhood in the art of navigating the subconscious realm, which is no place for the amateur. To do well in the uncharted realm of the unconscious one must be psychologically balanced, true of heart and possess a clean conscience; no hidden agendas here, thoughts themselves take shape and have great power,. Indeed, many cultures have developed rituals of ascendent vision using DMT-based brews and snuffs derived from plant and animal tissues, but where did they get the inspiration for using these recipes?

Most likely the original source was pineal gland inspired epiphany. Few members of any culture experience METAtonin, endogenous DMT, experiences; even fewer now that flouridation has become so prevalent, but the few that have were able to have this experience have been led to the proper sources of spirit molecule in the natural world around them. METAtonin and early childhood The things that young children sometimes say contain gems of wisdom that show that they have a profound awareness and connection with Higher Intelligence.

That is because our METAtonin levels are very high at this very early and wondrous age. So, too, is the size of the pineal gland which is enlarged and steadily decreases until puberty. The veil is slowly lowered and eventually all that remains is a shady memory and a lost sense of wonder. Many child psychologists, philosophers, poets, and artists refer to these enchanting memories of lost childhood in their works such as the Magical Child series by Joseph Chilton Pearce and the works of William Blake to mention a few.

The pineal gland begins to function in the developing human fetus around the 49th day after conception, and, at first, it is located in the back of the throat and then gradually moves upward and inward during gestation to be finally located in the center of the brain. This progression results in the creation a small duct known as the crainal pharyngeal canal connecting the back of the throat to the pituitary/ hypothalamus/pineal complex. This duct is usually sealed by bone tissue in early childhood, though in some cases it may persist into adulthood. This may explain the acrid slightly metallic taste in the back of the throat that is sometimes associated with a hormone release from the central brain. This 'nectar' most likely originates from the pituitary gland but may also involve a collaboration with the pineal gland. Certain oriental texts refer to this secretion as the 'nectar of sublime awareness' or amrita that is produced by deep meditation focused on the highest chakra: the pineal gland, or third eye, visit:. This secretion is also referred to in the Druid culture of British Isles as the 'grail' itself.

Isn't it ironic, and really not so surprising, that the Holy Grail - an invaluable treasure sought after by thousands of deeply dedicated souls throughout history - is actually a gift available to each and every one of us from the very center of our brain? It is quite likely that most of us have had endogenous DMT experiences before the age of 3, though this period of life grows more and more difficult to remember as we mature.

Subjective experiences that stem from the unconscious, like dreams, are quickly reabsorbed into the unconscious unless a determined effort is made to remember them. It could be the same with pineal gland METAtonin activated events, these are usually unexpected and are difficult to describe, we have no common vernacular to describe these events which makes it difficult for us to anchor them into our memory. This could be even more difficult when we are very young and are still in are process of developing our language skills. One of the main purposes of this article is to familiarize us with one of our hidden gifts by giving it a name and a logical framework, with this in place it makes it easier for us to recognize hyper-consciousness experiences of our personal past and the experiences of others that we may have heard of.

However, one distinction that should be made, as pointed out by Eban Alexander in his book, The Map of Heaven, is that when one experiences an NDE or OBE, the experience is not a dream-like phenomenon, it is a fully conscious. Fully aware grippingly real experience.

True NDEs or OBEs are usually hard to forget, because they are consciously realer than real as has been reported many an OBE testimony. This may be because we humans may live in an unrecognized state of constant but subtle home-sickness, but don't recognize this until we've experienced our true home.

Five types of METAtonin events Out of Body Experiences 1) The first group (type 1) is based on mental focus and a desire for transformation: a state of transcendent bliss, ecstasy or enlightenment that is consciously sought after though focus of the mind or dedication to a spiritual discipline or with the aid of a spiritual guide. A) Nirvana, Satori, Samadhi, Shakti Kundalini or God awareness: a state of inner peace and God connectedness attained through Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Yogic, Christian and other practices aimed at elevated consciousness. Elizabeth Gilbert in her book, Eat, Pray, Love, described her personal shakti kundalini experience quite well. Certain forms of Tibetan Phowa meditation that result in an OBE state:, In this context the pineal gland is functioning as the bardo bridge. Gopi Krishna, an advanced Indian yogi, maintains that when the pineal gland is activated by kundalini energy, the door to universal knowledge, evolution, and genius is opened: B) Vision Quest: A Native American ritual involving fasting and prayer that results in a profound life-altering vision. C) Dreamtime: A cultivated state of mind that allows Australian Aborigines to raise themselves above the landscape and perceive the location of pathways and sources of water and food in what appears to be nothing more than an endless desert wilderness. Aborigines are true minimalists and pride themselves for using as few tools as possible in order to survive, instead they rely on their carefully cultivated ability to read the landscape with hyperconscious Dreamtime Ancestor awareness in order to unveil the locations of food, water, shelter, pathways and other necessities.

This is an example of one of the many ancient cultures that manifested the use of the pineal gland METAtonin experience as a guide for daily life. This is further discussed in the section on neurotheology and in section 5, Dreamtime. Dreamtime Ancestors guide everyday life D) Sufi enlightenment: An ecstatic transcendent spiritual discipline based on a special form of swirling dance meditation God awareness. Another form of dance-related awareness is the practice of Trance Dance, visit:. This form of dance originates from the San people of South Africa. E) Taoist Light Deprivation Pineal Activation Experience: a 12 - 20 day total immersion in darkness that theoretically induces the pineal gland to produce METAtonin in quantities high enough to bring about a cosmic awareness. Developed by Mantak Chia of Thailand, a Taoist scholar and healer, this is an ancient method of enlightenment.

Mantak has built a special chamber that can accommodate over 60 attendees. F) Rapture and other states of transcendent experience that are the result of dedicated worship, prayer, devotion and/or abstinence. G) Creative ecstasy: as experienced by many artists, as described in the books by Rollo May. This may also refer to the autotelic experience as described by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, an ego-less ecstatic state achieved during a creative or athletic pursuit: H) Extreme sports and athletic ecstasy as described in the upcoming book Alchemy of Action by Doug Robinson and Norman Schaefer I) Specialized brain stimulation. One device that uses light stimulation is the previously mentioned Lucia Light Simulator invented by Austrian researchers Dr. Engelbert Winkler and Dr. Installshield Old Version.

Dirk Proecke creates a 'hypnagogic light experience' by using carefully timed flashing lights. You can visit one of the US distributors at: and there are now Lucia Light centers located in NYC ( and Boston ( ). Another device is the Shakti Helmet that, when used in conjunction with meditation, may help activate certain brain areas to initiate a METAtonin episode. There are several other mind-enhancing aids available; many use subliminal sound frequencies to induce a theta state of mental resonance that may also help trigger a METAtonin or OBE release There is also the Hemi-Sync sound recordings developed by pioneer Robert A. Monroe and available at the Monroe Institute in Virginia. Mr.Monroe, originally a sound engineer, stumbled across a combination of simultaneous sound patterns that reverberated with brainwave activity and that unexpectedly launched him into the realm of the Out-of-Body Experience.

He is referred to later on in this paper in the 'Out-of-Body Locales and bandwidth' section. Presently, virtual reality technology is also under experimentation, one example:.

J) Remote Viewing, a mental discipline ultimately used by the CIA and the US Military to remotely view strategic targets. Russell Targ and others developed this talent at under contract of the US Government at the Sanford Institute. Remote viewers discovered the ring around Jupiter before it was verified by the NASA P ioneer 10 satellite and were involved with locating the hiding place of Saddam Hussein, w ebsite:.

Remote viewing has also been verified by research conducted at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Institute,. Also: 2) The second group (type 2) of phenomena that occur as a result of experiencing or enduring physical, mental or emotional extremes that result in OBC, Out-of-Body Consciousness. A) Rebirthing, now known as Holotropic Breathwork pioneered by Dr. Stanislav Grog is a transcendent experience that can be brought on by controlled hyperventilating with the help of an experienced guide. This process may result in activating rarely used METAtonin-synthetic pathways in the pineal gland or may in some way encourage the lungs to increase DMT production beyond normal levels. Stanislav Grof B) An ecstatic transcendent collective OBExperience can be experienced by members of an emotionally charged group, gathering, celebration, or revolutionary movement as in the above mentioned trance dance.
