🧠 Scientists Mapped His DMT Journeys

💬 One Comment. Hundreds of Reactions.

A few weeks ago, we posted a video on Instagram showing Andrew Gallimore and Dennis McKenna discussing a peculiar phenomenon: people being blocked from the DMT realm - either by entities, or the realm itself.

Batuhan Bintas left a comment: it had happened to him, too - right after participating in a clinical trial at Imperial College London.

Within hours, his reply had over 700 likes. Dozens of questions poured in. And Batuhan, with grace and kindness, responded to every single one.

A few days later, we hopped on a video call.

It didn’t take long to conclude he may be one of the most passionate and fascinating figures in the psychedelic space that you haven’t heard of.

So let’s change that… and take a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at a DMT clinical trial.

His story begins long before that trial… long before London, long before the lab.

It begins in Turkey, with his grandmother who shared stories of unseen worlds surrounding us - and that sometimes, if we were lucky enough to look, we’d catch a glimpse.

🕊️ Beyond The Veil

Batuhan grew up in Turkey. His grandmother, a Sufi mystic, shared stories of how Allah created many realms filled with intelligent beings, but placed a veil over our eyes to keep us from being overwhelmed and confused.

At 18, a high-dose mushroom trip shattered that veil. What he saw felt less like hallucination and more like a parallel reality, just as his grandmother had described. The experience triggered a year-long transformation, leaving him quiet, reflective, and deeply introspective.

Years later, while studying animation in London, he continued exploring altered states. In a candlelit DMT ceremony with friends, surrounded by imagery of Ganesh and Krishna, he felt a tingling at the base of his skull - like he was being plugged into something beyond comprehension.

Then came the synchronicity: just a few weeks after that first experience, he was at a house party in 2015, he met someone who said he worked in psychedelics.

That man was Dr. David Erritzoe of Imperial College London, a school on the forefront of psychedelic research.

Batuhan didn’t miss a beat.

“If you ever need a volunteer,” he said, “I’m in.”

One year later, the invitation came: an intravenous DMT trial with real-time brain imaging. It was the pilot for what would become DMTx - an attempt to map hyperspace using extended-state technology.

To qualify, he had to agree to any dose, even the highest.

He initially paused. Then said, “F*ck it. Yes.”

🚀 Plugged Into Hyperspace

He was wired into the scanner. EEG cap on. Heart monitor attached. Mask over his face.
As soon as the DMT hit his bloodstream, his body pulsed with every heartbeat. And then… darkness.

Followed by: obliteration.

With every beat of his heart, the psychedelic visuals started appearing and fractals of this new dimension were emerging.

He remembered being blasted over a crystal city and telling himself:

He entered a realm that felt like it was constructed for a reason. No past, no future, no form. Just being. He was one with everything. An experience that many would call the most profound of their entire lives.

And then he heard a voice.

The moment he became aware of the lab, he was yanked back like a soul cast from heaven.

He fell through a kaleidoscope of what many would describe as gods and entities.

The experience ended with a sense of absolute clarity - and a message from the realm:

When he came to, he was crying and laughing at the same time - shaking, overwhelmed, and in awe of what had just happened.

❌ Access Denied

Batuhan thought the session went perfectly. He’d followed every instruction. Stayed still. Helped the research.

But he didn’t return to the DMT realm after the trial for a long time, and it wasn’t because he didn’t want to.

This wasn’t a gentle suggestion. It felt like a clear boundary. And he listened.

In a space where many seek more, Batuhan’s experience stood out - for its finality. It wasn’t ego. It wasn’t fear. He described it as being told:

A few years later in 2020, he decided to try it again. This time, he experienced that “frightening” in the form of a cobra entity attacking him, similar to the Ouroboros at the end of reality.

Since then, he’s refrained from taking high doses of DMT. He even respectfully declined participating in further studies at Imperial College despite being invited.

📜 Graham Hancock’s Seal of Approval

Now, almost a decade after the clinical trial, Batuhan’s work is getting global recognition.

He’s no longer just a participant. He’s a technologist, researcher, and speaker at the intersection of psychedelics, AI, and consciousness.

Batuhan recently produced a documentary exploring parallels between Anatolian and Amazonian shamanism - from Shahmeran, the Serpent Queen of Anatolia, to the Cosmic Serpent of the Amazon - and their shared themes of plant-based wisdom, from Syrian Rue to Ayahuasca.

He sent it to Graham Hancock - who replied personally:

In fact, Hancock was so impressed, he agreed to release the documentary across his official platforms.

It’s scheduled to debut in August, and we’ll share the details as soon as it drops.

But for Batuhan, it was a full-circle moment.

👋 Keep Up With Batuhan

Batuhan has devoted his life to bridging the ancient and the futuristic - to making sense of what he saw, and building tools for others to explore it safely.

Here’s what’s on his agenda:

🧠 Neurodesign Systems – A platform that combines brainwave data with generative AI to create real-time visualizations of psychedelic states.

🎮 Cyber Mushroom – A virtual reality experience that simulates a psilocybin journey, designed to safely guide users through immersive, altered states.

🌀 Dream-to-Visual Research – Batuhan is collaborating with engineers to develop tools that translate trip states and dreams into visual outputs, allowing others to witness what participants see in hyperspace.

🎨 AI Visuals for Festivals & Research – He’s created trip-inspired AI animations for events like Glastonbury, Equinox, and Breaking Convention, where real trip reports were transformed into visual experiences projected at the official after-parties.

🌱 The Mycelium Internet Hypothesis – In talks and writing, he explores the idea that mycelial networks may have inspired the architecture of the internet itself, suggesting psychedelic fungi played an unsung role in shaping digital reality.

📚 The Mushroom That Made the Internet – A concept he’s developing that dives deeper into this concept, tracing links between ancient fungal intelligence, psychedelic visionaries, and the connective logic of the web.

📡 Interspecies Communication – He envisions a new kind of language - woven from vibration, vision, and code - to bridge plant intelligence, machine consciousness, and human awareness.

🎨 AI Vision Workshop – Batuhan uses generative AI to bring his psychedelic experiences to life through animation, translating visions from hyperspace into vivid, shareable art. Now, he’s teaching others how to do the same.

In his upcoming workshop, you can learn how to turn altered states into immersive visuals using the latest AI tools. Because for the first time in history, we have the technology to map the psychedelic world - together.

(We’ll share more information on this course over the next few weeks, but don’t hesitate to DM Batuhan for more information!)

🏫 AI Education For Children – Batuhan is the founder of Imaginatrix, an online platform where AI-powered avatars teach children through gamified, adaptive learning. Each lesson is personalized to a child’s unique style and psychology — making education not just effective, but magical.

Inspired by his own mind-expanding experiences, Imaginatrix prepares kids for the future through play. Children explore emerging tech like AI, alongside timeless values like creativity, responsibility, and digital literacy — all through immersive, game-like adventures.

The platform will soon expand into deeper subjects like ancient history, metaphysics, and mythic storytelling, reimagined for young minds.

The mission: spark joy, curiosity, and wonder. Because if we raise children to collaborate with AI and lead with imagination, we’ll be shaping a wiser, more beautiful world.

🎯 The Mission

Batuhan’s story is a reminder that the most profound psychedelic research isn’t just happening in data sets or double-blinds.

It’s happening in the minds of people brave enough to go in, and honest enough to come back and tell the story.

He’s not claiming to be a guru or a messenger. He’s just someone who listened. Someone who still is. Someone who has taken what he’s learned and dedicated his life to researching it.

And whether you believe DMT connects us to aliens, archetypes, or just strange patterns in the brain… his message is clear:

There’s more to this than we know.

And the door - once opened - doesn’t always stay that way.
