Metatonin Research, Pineal gland secretion METAtonin         The actual process of METAtonin production takes place when the pineal gland internally secrets an enzyme called methyltransferase INMT that catalyzes two methyl groups to combine with a serotonin molecule, thus resulting in  endogenous DMT or METAtonin. Recent research is verifying the presence of this enzyme in the human pineal as well as the presence of the gene associated with its production. When needed, the pineal gland can produce a surge of METAtonin that is immediately delivered to the central brain via the cerebral spinal fluid and possibly the blood if the heart is functioning at that time. Endogenous or internally secreted DMT is also produced by other organs such as the lungs, the largest producer, the retina, the thyroid gland and many other body tissues in varying amounts. In normal situations, endogenous DMT produced by these organs enters the blood stream where it is quickly destroyed by MAO Mono. Amine. Oxidase a  blood borne tryptamine scavenger. Therefore, due to the presence MAO, METAtonin produced near the center of the brain cannot be accurately detected by sampling  the blood stream.

This temporary alteration results in a highly clarified and heightened self directed consciousness that is temporarily separated from its usual assignment that of being the ego caretaker of the body. When it receives the appropriate signal from another area of the brain, the pineal gland can produce a surge of METAtonin that will saturate the cerebral spinal fluid in the surrounding brain area for a short while. By no strange coincidence, the pineal gland is located in the very center of the brain at the junction of the main ventricle through which cerebral spinal fluid flows throughout the brain and, in particular, which surrounds its nearest neighbor, the thalamus, which is the central juncture for all incoming and outgoing cranial signals see the Seat of Consciousness section. Suddenly the body enters an autonomous state much like auto pilot, and self consciousness is allowed to exit the confines of the brainbody circuitry via the METAtonin pathway. Thus, one is entering Out of Body Consciousness. Usually, those who experience a sudden separation of self consciousness from host body consciousness when they are unprepared for it, find the sensation to be extremely frightening and disorienting. In many cases unprepared people who experience such a sudden separation may think that they have temporarily gone insane, and, when the experience has passed, do their best to erase it from their memory. This erasure is easily accomplished because experiences that have no cultural memory tag or linguistic anchor are easily erased.

METAtonin may function on a subtler level also, at a diminished and steady level, a basal level, during gestation. In this instance it may serve as the usher of consciousness. This is discussed later on. However, there are certain circumstances that can instigate a METAtonin cascade. At the onset of a natural METAtonin event, one may have to pass through a curtain of ego induced fear that may be accompanied by the additional sensation of body paralysis or sometimes dread. Preceding the sensation there may be a pulsing whuffing soundpressure wave that seems to come from all sides. The immediate sensation is that one is being trapped trapped inside a paralyzed body, this is an understandable emotional misinterpretation but actually, one is being released.

This can amount to an altogether frightening yet enlightening experience. Once past the gamut of the ego fear grip, consciousness is suddenly free to roam beyond the body. Those who take the synthetic path and partake of an appropriate dosage of synthetic DMT usually experience an accelerated transition without any ego grip and are literally popped out of their body instantly and, as a projectile, can end up landing almost anywhere. Pineal based eogndenous DMT experiences may tend to be less chaotic, more gentle, personal and more memorable. It is important to make a distinction here when one uses an outside source of chemical stimulation to change the state of consciousness, one is entering a state of altered consciousness when one is experiencing a higher state of consciousness that is stimulated by a natural, internal, endogenous hormone, one has entered  state of enhanced consciousness a state of consciousness that is an integral facet of human experience, one that quite possibly be experienced during a lifetime and one that we most certainly will experience at the time of death. METAtonin as a gateway to transcendent reality         It is believed that METAtonin is found at high concentrations in the blood of children during gestation, at birth and up to the age of three or more. The theory is that METAtonin plays role in the gradual introduction consciousness to the embryonic brain, this is supported by the fact that the human placenta is found to have high concentrations of the INMT, the enzyme required to convert the amino acid tryptamine into METAtonin see link to Dr. Frecska below.   After being born the METAtonin levels gradually decrease as the infant egobody consciousness evolves. In reverse role, as the body deteriorates when approaching death, and particularly at the moment of death, METAtonin eases the return of consciousness to its original source. In a Federally sponsored study conducted by Dr. Rick Strassman, author of The Spirit Molecule, at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, subjects were intravenously fed synthetic METAtonin DMT at elevated levels www. Dr. Strassman noted that many of these subjects described experiences similar to the descriptions of  the near death experiences that have been reported by both Elisabeth Kubler Ross in her book, On Death and Dying www. Dutch cardiologist Dr. Pim Van Lommel in his book Consciousness Beyond Life, and concluded that NDEs were most likely a result of endogenous DMT         Some prefer the natural approach start meditating and concentrate on the pineal, if you can extend the periods of mind silence, things will begin to happen. It worked for me, although I had no particular goal in mind at the time. I was a serious practitioner of meditation in the early 7. Realmedia Variable Bitrate Free Download more.

Shaping the METAtonin experience          In most cases, the intensity of a METAtoninDMT experience is influenced by the original intent of the traveler, the travelers state of mind and the surrounding physical environment. If the traveler has no intent or direction in mind, the event may end up being euphoric or catastrophic.
