After completing his groundbreaking research chronicled in DMT: The Nature Molecule, Rick Strassman, MD, was still left with one fundamental question: What does it imply that DMT, a simple chemical naturally found in our bodies, instantaneously opens us to an interactive spirit world that feels more true than our very own world?

When his decades of clinical psychiatric study and Buddhist practice were not able to supply answers to the query, Strassman began looking for a far more resonant about DMT and the Soul of Prophecy: A New Science of Spiritual Revelation in the Hebrew Bible spiritual model. He discovered that the visions from the Hebrew prophets were strikingly comparable to those of the volunteers in his DMT research. Carefully examining the concept of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, he characterizes a ‘prophetic state of awareness’ and explains how it may share natural and metaphysical mechanisms with the DMT effect.

Examining medieval commentaries for the Hebrew Bible, Strassman unveils how Jewish metaphysics offers a top-down model for both prophetic and DMT areas, a model he telephone calls ‘theoneurology.’

Theoneurology addresses problems critical fully flowering from the psychedelic drug experience. Perhaps even more important, it points the best way to a renewal of classical prophetic consciousness, the spirit of Hebrew Bible prophecy, and unexpected directions for the evolution of contemporary spiritual practice.
