Specifically though, I'd like to know about the role of DMT, why it's produced in certain plants and animals, why it seems to send you to other dimensions - I'd love to know if it really is allowing you to 'visit' higher densities or if it's 'just' a hallucination.
I picture it as high vibration matter.
Sounds about right. I can attest that sensations during intensive meditation can be quite similar to the sensations of DMT. I remember reading about some Tibetan monks who had ingested DMT and stated that they knew the place it took you to, and it was as far as you can go into the realm beyond death without returning. I just wonder what the hell its doing in human biochemistry, haha.

For instance we can't take anything spiritual at face value.
If we experience the sun getting hotter before us, it doesn't mean we're climbing the steps of Light.
I think it's because the limited human mind can't really comprehend the whole truth, it's beyond our brain's understanding. So we either get really confused or mad or crazy by trying to figure it out. As I understand it meditation as a technique is designed to allow you to access understanding without having to think about it, by quieting the mind, because that's the only to really know how things are.
