We usually think of a DMT experience as us entering another world. Dr. Andrew Gallimore proposes something rather different. In the upcoming mini episode of Masters of the Mind, Gallimore joins Alexandre Tomic to explain his reality switch theory, in which DMT may change the source of information from which the brain constructs its experience.
Why does a DMT experience feel eerily unfamiliar when the brain builds our experience of reality using what it has learned? In this mini episode of Masters of the Mind, Alexandre Tomic sits down with Dr. Andrew Gallimore to examine the science of hallucinations, the relationship between dreaming and perception, and why Gallimore believes conventional explanations may not fully account for the complexity of some DMT experiences. Plus, a closer look at Jungian archetypes, intelligent DMT entities, and reports of mathematical operations that raise some particularly difficult questions about consciousness.
In the new mini episode of Masters of the Mind, Alexandre Tomic sits down with Dr. Andrew Gallimore to explore the science of hallucinations, dreams and the extraordinary environments people report encountering on DMT. Andrew questions whether our conventional explanations adequately account for the apparent clarity and complexity of these experiences. He also examines accounts of DMT entities, why their reported behavior may matter more than their appearance and what claims involving complex mathematical operations could mean for scientific investigation.
Can a single experience change the course of your life? And why do some people report encountering strange, seemingly intelligent beings during DMT experiences? In this mini episode of Masters of the Mind, Alex Tomic sits down with Dr. Andrew Gallimore to explore the lasting impact of his first DMT experience, recurring reports of experiences like spiritual surgery, and the unusual intelligence attributed to insectoid and mantis-like entities.
What happens when a single otherworldly experience changes the course of your life? And why do so many people report encounters with strange beings during DMT experiences? In this mini episode of Masters of the Mind, Alex Tomic speaks with Dr. Andrew Gallimore about the lasting impact of his first DMT experience, the recurring phenomenon known as spiritual surgery, and the unusual intelligence attributed to mantis-like beings in DMT reports.
How did Indigenous Amazonian cultures discover the extraordinary chemistry behind ayahuasca long before Western science understood how it worked? In the mini episode of Masters of the Mind, host Alexandre Tomic sits down with neuroscientist, pharmacologist and author Dr. Andrew Gallimore to explore the history of ayahuasca, from Richard Spruce's encounters in the Amazon to William Burroughs' search for the brew's missing ingredient. The conversation reveals how combining two plants creates a pharmacological effect that neither plant produces in the same way alone, and how this centuries-old knowledge connects to modern research into endogenous DMT.
Ayahuasca, DMT and the science behind one of pharmacology's most fascinating mysteries. How did Indigenous Amazonian cultures develop a brew containing DMT when the molecule alone does not produce the same effects when taken orally? Dr. Andrew Gallimore explores the chemistry, history and scientific discoveries behind ayahuasca. In this mini episode of Masters of the Mind, host Alexandre Tomic speaks with Gallimore about Indigenous plant knowledge, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, the history of scientific discovery and the connections between traditional pharmacology and modern research into endogenous DMT.

What if the most extraordinary thing about DMT is the possibility that we still don't understand what people are experiencing? In the debut episode of Masters of the Mind, host Alexandre Tomic sits down with neuroscientist, pharmacologist and author Dr. Andrew Gallimore to explore the science of DMT, the mystery of psychedelic entity encounters and the possibility that our everyday experience of reality tells us less than we think. From the forgotten history of ayahuasca to extended DMT experiences, emerging neuroscience and the search for nonhuman intelligence, this conversation asks some uncomfortable questions about consciousness, perception and the limits of scientific explanation.
