Is DMT a hidden technology that gives us access to a hyper-dimensional reality? Jeffrey Kripal & Andrew Gallimore join Daniel Pinchbeck to explore consciousness, aliens & the end of history. Please check it out and “like” and subscribe to our YouTube channel as we seek to help more people raise their periscope into the Mystery.

In this episode ofe Liminal News, I sit down with two extraordinary thinkers: Jeffrey J. Kripal, historian of religions and author of "The Superhumanities" and "Secret Body," and Andrew Gallimore, neuroscientist and author of "Death By Astonishment", "Alien Information Theory" and "Reality Switch Technologies."

We dive deep into the implications of DMT research, extended-state psychedelic experiments, and the possibility of human contact with non-human intelligences. We explore the “death by astonishment” experience, the limits of materialism, and the surprising parallels between ancient religious visions and cutting-edge psychedelic science.

Could DMT be a kind of hidden “technology” that points humanity toward a higher-dimensional reality? Are we approaching a civilizational tipping point — an “end of history” moment? And what can science and the history of religions teach us about the true nature of consciousness?
