You surely can have an ejaculation by going with a prostitute but that is not the same as making love with
the one you love.
I'll take that as a 'yes' that you only have your feelings about your meditational experience telling you that you are experiencing God. DMT naturally occurs in the brain so your analogy to an artificial experience not only misses the point, it's simply wrong. You have no way of knowing that your experiences aren't simply the result of chemicals in the brain. You've already admitted that damage to the brain can affect consciousness, well so can chemicals like DMT and oxytocin. Your analogy is simply asserting that by meditating you are having a genuine experience. Once again you have nothing but a bare assertion to back up your claims. Do you have any actual evidence that your experiences aren't simply due to chemicals in the brain? No, you do not. You haven't tapped into the transcendent, you've simply activated mother nature's chemical factory. That's the simplest and most logical explanation, and if you have nothing but analogies and stories to offer as evidence, then you've simply lost. You're addicted to naturally occurring chemicals in your brain. You're an addict. It isn't any wonder you won't listen to any other explanation than the one which encourages you to continue. You're hooked.

What? What are you talking about now? This is just another bare assertion which you'll no doubt back up with stories of drug addicts ruining their lives. Again, DMT occurs naturally in the brain, so comparing it to the effects of street drugs is a false analogy. By repeated engagement of meditation, you're conditioning your brain to the chemicals produced every bit as much as a junkie is to his heroin. You can no longer distinguish between a healthy practice and an obsession. Thus all your talk about how important it is to practice. You're a meditation junkie.
