"Since the mid-1950s, the psychoactive compound DMT has attracted the attention of experimentalists and prohibitionists, scientists and artists, alchemists and hyperspace emissaries. While most known as a crucial component of the "jungle alchemy" that is ayahuasca, DMT is a unique story unto itself. Until now, this story has remained untold. Mystery School in Hyperspace is the first book to delve into the history of this substance, the discovery of its properties, and the impact it has had on poets, artists, and musicians. DMT has appeared at crucial junctures in countercultural history. William Burroughs was jacking the spice in Tangier at the turn of the 1960s.It was present at the meeting between Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters and Tim Leary's associates. It guided the inception of the Grateful Dead in 1965. It showed up in Berkeley in the same year, falling into the hands of Terence McKenna, who would eventually become its champion in the post-rave neo-psychedelic movement of the 1990s."

ISBN10: 1583947329, ISBN13: 9781583947326, [publisher: North Atlantic Books,U.S., Berkeley] Softcover Paperback. The Mystery School of Hyperspace is the first cultural history of DMT, an enigmatic compound whose psychopharmacological action has been known for sixty years. While DMT is known for producing powerful short-lasting effects including complex geometric patterns, out-of-body states and encounters with disincarnate entities, the tryptamine compound occurs throughout world flora and is naturally present in the brains of humans and other mammals. The celebrated status of DMT as "the brain's own psychedelic" has fired speculation about its role as a gateway to higher dimensional "hyperspace," a "spirit molecule" that facilitates the soul's reincarnation, God's own neurological medium, a compound that mimics the function of an "ancestral neuromodulator," among other theories prying open the lid on the Pandora's Box of consciousness.
