[Rick & Morty] Jerry experiences a DMT psychedelic trip

in #dmt7 years ago

So i watched the most recent episode of Rick and morty and I must say the editors definitely did their research. The trip that jerry has ,when they pass that wormhole, is equivalent to a dmt trip where he gets to know everything about himself, life and meet supernaturla beings. The psychedelic images that are experienced by jerry are definitely created by some kind of DMT substance. better version of the image

The part that resonates with me the most is where he says he feels all the love in the universe: The actual text he says is the following:

"Woaah. It's happening to me.
Jerry: Am I dead or am I alive.
Sentient being: Those arent the questions you should be asking.
Sentient being: Who am I, Who am I
Jerry: I am time. I am literally time
Jerry: Oh god. I feel like our sould were united. We were all one with eternity.

The first part of the trip that jerry goes through is the out of body sensation you experience combined with some colourful shapes and melting forms.
At [10s] mark he ends up in the waiting room. This is kind of symbolic and how nearly every trip started for me. Even though I didnt have sentient beings in my waiting room, they might symbolise the posibility between a good trip and ego death. In the waiting room Jerry asks the two sentient beings dressed up as death if he is alive or dead. An important fact to note here is that many hyperspace travellers are trying to answer some questions. The hard part is finding what questions should be answered in the trip.

At the [16s] mark Jerry goes through the door which acts as a portal and as a breakthrough of his trip. During the trip he meets some beings and experience a type of ego death. Since I have never experience ego death myself. I guess that is a lucky thing, I will take this recount of a reddit user to explain what it might feel like:

"WHOOOSH. I am the Source of all creation, but not "me". Everything is one and it is connected. The past, present, and future all exist at this one spot, which is everywhere. Every dimension, every sense of time, everything that could possibly exist does exist and I am in the middle of it, but since "I" am not here, I am a part of it, we all are, everyone is everything. I've been here before. I will return here. Everything inevitably does. It's very familiar.

The first words out of my mouth have been "wow" "shit" and "holy fuck".

You were just at the Source of How Everything Works, God/dess, the Machine, whatever, and you WERE it and now you've been dropped back into your body. But it's good, it's nice. I think to stay there would be death. I feel a connection to others a lot more deeply over the next day or two.'

That is why Jerry is having a hard time explaining what he went through. I was very suprised by the obvious addition of dmt in this last episoed. Adventure time is also known to have blatantly demonstratedeffects of pychedelic drugs. But that is for another story. I am of course noway an expert on this matter and I knowingly missed out on a lot of symbols that are probably known in the DMT community.

Wow, awesome post! Ive watched all episodes of Rick & Morty at least 3 times over and haven't made that DMT connection. The first image in your post is definitely inspired the the artist 'Alex Grey' who does psychadelic art. Such a striking resemblance with the eyes haha..... Screen Shot 2018-06-05 at 3.44.52 PM.png
