DMT: The Spirit Molecule — Rick Strassman
Clinical research on DMT and its apparent role in opening perception of non-ordinary dimensions.
Flatland — Edwin Abbott
A Victorian satire that remains the best introduction to thinking about higher dimensions. Free online.
The Holographic Universe — Michael Talbot
The case that reality is a hologram — weaving together quantum physics, neuroscience, and mysticism.
Edwin Abbott
Victorian schoolmaster and theologian whose 1884 Flatland is a satire of Victorian class structure dressed as a tour of two-dimensional space. Still the cleanest introduction in print to thinking about dimensions higher than three.
Michael Talbot
American writer whose 1991 The Holographic Universe synthesised David Bohm's implicate-order physics with Karl Pribram's holographic-brain model into a popular account of reality as projection. Died of leukemia at 38, the year after publication.
Rick Strassman
Clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico whose 1990-95 DMT study was the first US-government-approved psychedelic research in two decades. DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2000) reports the 400 doses he administered and what subjects described.
