Results
From a total 248 completed surveys, 100 participants met criteria for cluster headache. Of these, 84% were male and average age was 49 years. The most common place to have learned about DMT treatment was social media/online. More than one mode of ingestion was often tried, but 75% had used a vape pen. Among those who used DMT to abort attacks (n = 85), the majority reported it completely eliminates pain (67.5%) and that it works every (45.7%) or almost every (35.8%) single time. Over half reported that DMT worked in under 30 seconds, and all participants reported either no change or an improvement in their health with DMT use.
It was a pleasure to talk with Lewis Howes about how spacetime is a simple headset created by consciousness, and how physical objects in spacetime, such as brains and bodies, are simply icons in that headset—rendered as needed and then deleted.

“major discoveries often start with a hunch that is later tested against evidence. Chen puts it well: Maybe we can be grounded in both feeling and fact.”

Yesterday was the official launch of the Trace institute. An incredible event. One of the highlights was meeting the team from @noonautics . What an incredible group of people! Thank you for all your amazing work for the launch and in general.
Look forward to more collaboration.
Interview with me and Don Hoffman @donalddhoffman for Nautilus magazine @NautilusMag :
“When you’re pushed into this other region of the experience space with different dynamics, you begin interacting with the conscious agent network in entirely different ways, becoming sensitive to conscious agents that before were completely imperceptible, that evolution had said, “These aren’t important, these aren’t adaptive.”
Suddenly you’re in this region where you start interacting with conscious agents that you normally can’t interact with. You start perceiving conscious agents you couldn’t normally perceive.”

“DMT seems to shake the very foundations of reality.”
“Extended DMT trips could help scientists probe a new theory of reality that puts consciousness first”.

“About 45 percent of people who smoke a sufficient dose of DMT report ... they are no longer alone. They describe a tunnel, a portal, sometimes a kind of waiting room, and then the beings. Machine elves, insectoid creatures, jesters, deities…”

This is biblical.
A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.
Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.
She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.
FREE EVENT: Dr. Donald Hoffman x Dr. Andrew Gallimore
A rare live conversation on their new paper, “Traces of the Other: Are DMT Entities Real?”
June 13 • 11am–1pm
The Lighthouse Campus, Venice Beach
Extremely limited space. Apply ASAP. 👽
Since many people have asked: Yes, the event with me and Don Hoffman will be recorded...
It won't be streamed live but on the application page (see below) you have the option to:
1. Apply to attend the in-person event in LA or;
2. To receive access to the private stream when it goes live...
Both options are entirely free thanks to the Trace Institute and @noonautics
I guess you can apply for both in case you're not able to attend the live event.
Andrew Gallimore and I will discuss consciousness, DMT, perception, and the nature of reality, live in Los Angeles on June 13.
Space is limited. Attendance requires approval, but you can request to join here: https://t.co/4L3b4IaiEi
Encounters with entities under DMT may be hallucinations. But Andrew Gallimore and I ask: Could DMT alter the human perceptual interface, allowing encounters with novel conscious agents?
New collaboration with Andrew Gallimore and Noonautics

EVENT: Donald Hoffman & Andrew Gallimore Live in Conversation...
Donald Hoffman and I will discuss consciousness, DMT, perception, and the nature of reality live at:
The Lighthouse Campus (Venice Beach) in Los Angeles on Saturday June 13 (11am-1pm)
Space is extremely limited, so please apply ASAP...
Attendance is by approval, but you can request to join using the link in the reply! See you in LA! 👽
[Event supported by @noonautics and the Trace Institute]
For years, DMT entity encounters have been dismissed as hallucinations...
Donald Hoffman @donalddhoffman and I are exploring a more fundamental possibility: that DMT temporarily restructures the human perceptual interface, enabling the perception of traces of conscious agents that normally lie beyond the reach of ordinary experience...
A new collaboration between myself, @noonautics, and the newly-founded Trace Institute:
