Description

5-MeO-DMT, dubbed "the God Molecule" by Dr. Martin Ball, has seen a rapid expansion of use globally over the last decade. In this talk, Merrill Ward will examine the latest scientific explorations into human consciousness to gain a deeper understanding of our innate spiritual nature and it’s intimate connection to Source consciousness that can be accessed through the use of 5-MeO-DMT. The wedding of neuroscience with psychedelic research is steadily uncovering the essential link that exists between science and spirituality. Moreover, researchers are discovering how these crystalline keys can open us to deeper and more expanded levels of human consciousness. In this talk, Merrill will discuss: *The differences between natural and synthetic 5-MeO-DMT * The latest science concerning 5-MeO-DMT * How 5-MeO-DMT prompts spiritual awakenings * If it's possible to scientifically measure spiritual experiences. * Interacting with entities in the 5-MeO-DMT space * How to handle 5-MeO-DMT "reactivations" and elicit them, if so desired.
