Our entirety of existence is solely based upon our individual consciousness and its various forms. We live not through the perspectives of others but through only the lens of our own. This existence is what drives us to question who we are, where we came from, and where we are going in the afterlife. Though these questions still remain largely unanswered, there are signs and indications that provide plausible answers that indicate the movement of our conscious minds within different dimensions of time and space.

There’s a section in our brain the size of a grain of rice referred to as the Pineal Gland. Its physical functions include the regulation of melatonin and endocrine functions. However, this section of the brain is believed to serve a more spiritual function, linking the mind to higher forms of consciousness or a conjectural world. It is referred to as “the Seat for the Soul,” since it is most active during meditation and out of the body experiences. This part of the brain is more protected than the heart and is what creates a chemical in the brain known as DMT.

DMT (dimethyltryptamine) is a chemical found in the brain and in some psychedelic drugs. Its purpose is unknown other than that it is released during sleep, causing visual hallucinations while unconscious. This chemical is also found in the South American drug, Iowaska. When this drug is ingested, the user begins to hallucinate extremely vividly. People receive visions of religious incarnations, and regard it as a highly personal and spiritual experience. Time begins to slow down and many users recount that what felt like years, or even a lifetime was actually no more than ten minutes.

When someone dies, the brain still remains active for up to seven minutes. While the neurons keep firing, the brain is flooded with the drug DMT, which is created in the Pineal gland. The amount of DMT that is dumped into the brain is exponentially larger than the amount that we experience when we dream. This purpose still remains unknown however, this links us to the possibility of an eternal afterlife.

To explain this concept of the DMT related afterlife, one must grasp the concepts of consciousness and perception. These are how we as individuals perceive space, time and the world around us. As DMT is flooded into the brain at death, the persons consciousness is transferred from the physical world on earth, to the metaphysical world within their DMT-filled mind. Users of this drug state that time is distorted, and it slows down exponentially. With a larger amount of DMT entering the brain at death than when ingested or when sleeping, it would be applicable to conclude that time would slow down indefinitely until the whole concept and perception of time would vanish. Consciousness would enter a different dimensional world engulfed by DMT and this would, to the dead person, be a new transcendent and eternal life. To our alive consciousness on Earth, this would last no longer than seven minutes and the existence of the deceased would cease to exist. However, to the dead person, time would slow indefinitely, causing those seven minutes to last forever.

To put in retrospect, in the consciousness of our living minds here on Earth, we die and that is the bleak end of our existence. However, in our dead consciousness, we live for an eternity, in a DMT engulfed Universe where time and space cease to exist. Whether this is a way of science telling us there is in fact a heaven, and it exists deep within our subconscious or whether be vestigial theory; it serves as part of the trail of clues to lead us to where we came from and where we are going after our time here on Earth. It helps us better understand our existence and helps us to further conquer the deep abyss of the unknown.
