as a tangent to this, there is also DMT, so called the 'Spirit Molecule'.
This stuff is produced by the body, and can lead to all sorts of experiences normally classified as 'paranormal'.
much like oxytocin, it produces 'results' that are consistent with what most people would associate with years of spiritual practice.
but I think we shouldn't confuse the cause and the effect here. Changes in consciousness ALWAYS precede physical changes; and when the choice has been made in consciousness to do this or that, then the body follows with the appropriate biochemical response to make the Physical representative of he Metaphysical.
so we can manufacture this stuff, use it in shamanic practice, but the effects will only be temporary. When one has won the 'spiritual war' with oneself, then these chemicals gush like an oil well all by themselves.
it does make for great scientific experiments though

btw oxytocin is also known as the "cuddle chemical' or "love hormone" that is responsible for a mother bonding to her newborn, or that romantic feeling between couples.
thanks Tenet for making me think about this stuff again
