Dr Christopher Timmermann: DMT, entities & ego death

Christopher Timmermann (Imperial’s DMT Research Group) is one of the world's leading researchers on DMT and 5-MeO-DMT. These are amongst the most powerful psychedelics, famous for catapulting people into hyper-real alternate worlds populated by seemingly autonomous beings or “pure consciousness” experiences featuring a complete loss of ego, self and time. 

For anyone interested in the nature of reality and mind, these experiences deserve consideration. 

Christopher led the first human neuroimaging studies on DMT, mapping what happens in the brain in these "more real than real” spaces. His latest work includes a study with a meditation lama comparing advanced meditation and psychedelic states.

He will present new brain-imaging work, and discuss his influential research showing that psychedelic experiences can shift people’s most basic metaphysical beliefs away from hard physicalism.

So I'm expecting a fascinating exchange with Bernardo Kastrup tomorrow, Tues 25th November, 6-8pm UK time / 7-9pm CET / 1-3pm EST

We’ll probe how high-dose DMT and 5MeO impact our perception of mind and world, from pure awareness, to entity encounters, and how these experiences can be interpreted in the light of Bernardo's Analytic Idealism.
