SUMMARY BULLET QUOTES – “Zen, Psychedelics and Prophecy” by Adam Jacobs

• “Psychedelic means ‘mind-disclosing.’”
  Dr. Rick Strassman explains that psychedelics reveal previously invisible aspects of consciousness—possibly internal, external, or both.

• “Are you perceiving another level of reality or just your brain on drugs?”
  Strassman says it’s difficult to know whether these visions come from within or are actual perceptions of a different realm.

• “Set and setting are just as important as the dose.”
  The outcome of a psychedelic experience is heavily influenced by a person’s mindset and environment.

• “I turned the neurotheology model on its head.”
  Strassman introduces TheoNeurology: the idea that the brain is wired by God to receive spiritual communication, not just produce it.

• “DMT may be a natural neurotransmitter that regulates spiritual perception.”
  He notes that the brain produces DMT in levels comparable to serotonin and dopamine, possibly acting as a ‘reality filter.’

• “The veil may be between us and a spiritual world—or between us and our subconscious.”
  Strassman stresses the importance of peer review in distinguishing true spiritual experiences from self-generated illusion.

• “DMT experiences resemble prophecy more than Zen enlightenment.”
  Initially rooted in Zen Buddhism, Strassman shifted to Jewish mysticism after observing that DMT-induced states were filled with narrative, beings, and interaction—unlike the emptiness of Zen satori.

• “The personality remains—even strengthens—on DMT.”
  Contrary to Buddhist expectations of ego dissolution, DMT users often experience heightened personal identity.
