      I doubted that too - incredibly strongly - before my first DMT breakthroughs. That shit basically resets your consciousness/neural patterns and it's pretty incredible what comes out when you get, even for a moment, outside of the extreme materialism/rationalism of our modern Western societies. We are completely modeled in terms of consciousness after the way our Western societies function, and very deep at that. More than 50% of people experiencing a DMT breakthrough go towards spirituality (though in my case I wouldn't say it's towards a conventional "god", but nevertheless - I have no fear of death anymore and much more respect for spirituality). 80% of them say it completely changed their outlook on the nature of reality.

      So if you haven't actually tried it, you were like me before: extremely doubtful. But what I experienced nothing that comes from rationalism/materialism can explain. And words cannot either - the thing that maybe comes the closest is deep poetry, but still light-years away from the actual experience.
