The God Molecule: 5-MeO-DMT & the Science of Spirituality

5-MeO-DMT, also described as "the God Molecule", has seen a rapid expansion of use globally over the last decade.

In this presentation, Merrill Ward will examine the latest scientific explorations into human consciousness to gain a deeper understanding of our innate spiritual nature and it’s intimate connection to Source consciousness that can be accessed through the use of 5-MeO-DMT.

The wedding of neuroscience with psychedelic research is steadily uncovering the essential link that exists between science and spirituality. Moreover, researchers are discovering how these crystalline keys can open us to deeper and more expanded levels of human consciousness.

In this talk, Merrill will discuss:

*The distinctions between naturally occuring and synthetic 5-MeO-DMT

* The latest science concerning 5-MeO-DMT

* How 5-MeO-DMT can prompt spiritual awakenings

* If it's possible to scientifically measure spiritual experiences.

* What you should know before choosing this powerful transformative experience.

* How to navigate 5-MeO-DMT "reactivations" and a theory of what they may be.

This presentation will be followed by an in-depths Q&A with our audience.
