177 UNSEEN WORLDS + alone take center stage during someone's trip. Certainly the spaces in which volunteers found themselves were highly unusual. However, more important was the meaning or the feeling, the information, associated with where they were. Of course, once other "life-forms" began to appear in these spaces, it was difficult not to be completely swept up in their exist- ence, and these reports rightly are the subject of separate chapters. Despite their strange nature, these excerpts are introductory. They set the stage for the next layer of existence to which the spirit molecule leads. "Where" is the backdrop, the scenery. "Who" gets to the core of these matters. But first, let's get acquainted with the landscape. At the most basic biological level was the perception of DNA and other biological components. Karl was our first dose-response study volunteer: DMT-1. He began speaking within 2 minutes of getting his first non-blind low dose: There were spirals ofwhat looked like DNA, red and green. Philip, about whose harrowing 0.6 mg/kg experience we've already read, also recognized the familiar double-helix pattern, this time on his double- blind 0.4 mg/kg dose: The visuals were dropping back into tubes, like protozoa, like the inside ofa cell, seeing the DNA twirling and spiraling. They looked gelatinlike, like tubes, inside which were cellular activities. It was like a microscopic view ofthem. Cleo, whose enlightenment experience we will discuss in a later chapter, also met up with visions of DNA: There was a spiral DNA-type thing made out of incredibly bright cubes. I "felt" the boxes at the same time that my consciousness shifted. We will closely examine Sara's entity contact experience in a subsequent chapter. However, it's interesting to note her reference to DNA: I felt the DMT release my soul's energy and push it through the DNA. It's what happened when I lost my body. There were spirals that reminded
