Similarly, since the triumph of string theory is its natural incorporation of quantum mechanics and gravity, and since gravity is bound up with the form of space and time, we should not constrain the theory by forcing it to operate within an already existing spacetime framework. Rather, just as we should allow our artist to work from a blank canvas, we should allow string theory to create its own spacetime arena by starting in a spaceless and timeless configuration.

I believe the recent discovery that we can access these states directly, via chemical means, is not accidental but synchronous. An evolution of human consciousness is happening, at a time of accelerating ecological catastrophe and exponential technological progress. Revelation is a theatrical unveiling, anticipated by various world religions. One part of our ongoing revelation is the phenomenological encounter of DMT, which makes mystical experience accessible. Another is the scientific investigation of areas such as psychic phenomena and NDEs that once belonged to the category of the sacred.

Of course, this is a hypothesis. But it is a hypothesis built on direct experience. When we explore the subject of consciousness itself, we must take our direct experience into account. We now have access to a number of extraordinary states of consciousness via chemical compounds. We must explore what these states reveal about consciousness itself. It is extraordinary that the physical brain is constituted so that it naturally produces these psychedelics. Tryptamines are similar to Serotonin, which modulates our normal waking state. But DMT plunges us into a nonphysical, inner dimension where, as McKenna noted, we seem to encounter a vast “ ecology of souls.”
