Dark Room Retreats & 5-MeO-DMT
By Leo Gura - March 3, 2018
I haven’t tested this myself yet, but here’s a very interesting lead to follow up on:
If this is true, to me, this would explain a lot about how early mankind discovered spirituality. It’s such a simple technique that even a caveman can do it. You don’t need mushrooms, you don’t need fancy extractions of psychoactive substances, you don’t need elaborate yogic techniques.
Think about it… Any ancient culture could have stayed in a pitch-black cave for 4 days straight. If that is enough to create a full 5-MeO-DMT whiteout — that is deeper than I have ever tripped on 5-MeO — that is enough to become conscious of the absolute nature of everything, deriving the purest spiritual wisdom directly from the source. Could this be the technique that the ancient Egyptians used? The ancient Jews? The ancient Meso-Americans? It would not be hard to construct a dark room inside a temple or shine or stone monument complex like the pyramids or ziggurats.
How cool would it be to travel back in time 7,000 years to ancient Egypt and learn all of their priests’ secret spiritual techniques?
Here’s a fascinating report from a woman who completed a 40-day dark room retreat!
Reflections On A 40-Day Dark Room Retreat
If you have experience with 5-MeO-DMT, you know what is feels likes. For the sake of science, try doing a 4 day dark room retreat and see if you can get the same kind of high. If so, this should prove beyond a shadow of doubt that 5-MeO-DMT is endogenously produced, and responsible for the deepest awakenings of the highest enlightened masters. If you run this experiment, be sure to post your results on the forum. I’d love to gather the data.
Here’s a place that offers a Dark Room. (I haven’t actually done it, so I can’t vouch for that place).
