Rick Strassman | DMT: The Spirit Molecule

“By 30 minutes, she spoke more clearly:

I felt the DMT go in and it burned in my vein. It was hard to breathe into it. Then the patterns began. I said to myself, ‘Let me go through you.’

At that point I opened, and I was very much somewhere else. I believe it was at that point that I went out, into the universe—being, dancing with, a star system.

I asked myself, ‘Why am I doing this to myself?’ And then there was, ‘This is what you’ve always been searching for. This is what all of you have always been searching for.’

There was a movement of color. The colors were words. I heard what the colors were saying to me. I was trying to look out, but they were saying, ‘Go in’ I was looking for God outside. They said, ‘God is in every cell of your body.’ And I was feeling it, totally open to it, and I kept opening to it more, and I just took it in. The colors kept telling me things, but they were telling me things so I not only heard what I was seeing, but also felt it in my cells. I say ‘felt,’ but it was like no other ‘felt,’ more like a knowing that was happening in my cells. That God is in everything and that we are all connected, and that God dances in every cell of life, and that every cell of life dances in God.

In a letter she sent several days later, Cleo wrote,

I am changed. I will never be the same. To simply say this almost seems to lessen the experience. I don’t think that anyone hearing or reading this can truly grasp what I felt, can really understand it deeply and completely. The euphoria goes on into eternity. And I am part of that eternity.” Rick Strassman
