THE SPIRIT MOLECULE investigates dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a naturally occurring psychoactive compound, which exists in humans, and numerous species of plants and animals. The documentary traces Dr. Rick Strassman's government-sanctioned, human DMT research, leading to the studyÂ’s potential impact through its inconceivable realizations. A closer examination of DMTÂ’s effects through the lens of traditionally opposed concepts, science and spirituality, THE SPIRIT MOLECULE unravels the connections between cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum mechanics and human spirituality.

As Dr. StrassmanÂ’s story unfolds, a variety of experts weigh-in on the intriguing questions raised by the research and the resulting theories, including the synthesis of DMT in our brainÂ’s pineal gland, its link to near-death & alien-abduction experiences, similarities to the "many-worlds" interpretation of quantum theory and the uncanny likeness to ancient religious texts describing prophets with DMT-like experiences. The experts offer a comprehensive collection of information, opinions, and speculation to contextualize the nature of the DMT experience, and its role in human culture and the life force of our planet.

Due to the profound nature, and visual phantasmagoria, of the DMT experience, the visual landscape of the film features stunning visualizations from Scott Draves (Electric Sheep), cutting-edge motion graphics that demonstrate DMTÂ’s conceptual link to human evolution and construction of the universe. Additionally, stylized scenes reminiscent of Rod SterlingÂ’s Twilight Zone bookends, Joe Rogan (actor/comedian) serves as tour guide, navigating the expansive realms of Dr. StrassmanÂ’s DMT universe.

The Spirit Molecule, a simple molecule with enormous implications. The subtle combination of science, spirituality, and philosophy results in an abundance of incredible ideas and theories that could alter the way we understand the nature of reality and our relationship to it.

The only explanation

This film has been a long time coming, and although outlandish sounding it is this understanding what the scientific and spiritual world are converging on. The fractal nature of reality is Universal, and the ability of the spirit molecule to facilitate experiences of one with the Universe is neatly explained and validated by a fractal viewpoint. DMT is the gateway to consciousness, and without it we would be completely without perception.

The most profound discovery in the last 50 years is that the most powerful psychedelic known to man, with the power to perceive intelligent alien/angel/shamanic beings, resides within animal and plants all around us.

A good companion film is the BBCs documentary: The Secret Life of Chaos, in this the fractal viewpoint is explored from a mathematical perspective.
