Graham St John: DMT, Liminality, and Hyperspace

DMT experiences are explored through the lens of liminality and an in-between state of potential. Such states are characterized by ritual-like modes of transmission, where users often experience a breakthrough. These phenomena frequently involve visual encounters with other-worldly beings and visual language, ultimately leading to a sense of reconnection with nature, the cosmos, and one's self. Reports of these states include a sense of travel through hyperspace, which often feels more real than what is commonly perceived as reality. Such experiences can evoke potent, short-lived, and often transformative feelings of awe, dread, and wonder. Practitioners and enthusiasts use these substances to explore a non-local sense of consciousness, where traditional notions of separation between self, nature, and the universe begin to dissolve.
