    "I Woke Up Paralysed... And It Was Just Standing There" - Nisha & Norma Burton EP 64

    What if you could become aware inside your dreams… and even practice dying? In this episode, Nisha and Norma Burton break down the reality of lucid dreaming — from out-of-body experiences to shadow work, sleep paralysis, and accessing deeper layers of consciousness. They explain how the dream world isn’t just imagination, but a powerful space for healing trauma, rehearsing real-life situations, and connecting with something beyond the self. From terrifying encounters with shadow figures to profound spiritual insights, this conversation explores how mastering your dreams can change the way you live… and even how you face death. 0:00 Intro 1:56 Konrad & Rupert's personal check-in: The newsletter question ritual EPISODE STARTS 11:21 Introducing Nisha & Norma Burton - mother-daughter dream teachers 13:13 Norma's lineage: Native American tribe, Irish dreamers & a church founded by women 14:41 What is lucid dreaming?

    “I Let Scientists Inject DMT Into My Vein" - Batuhan Bintas EP 63

    In this episode, we sit down with Batuhan Bintas - one of the participants in the groundbreaking DMT studies at Imperial College London. Batuhan’s journey sits at the intersection of technology, consciousness, and psychedelics. Raised in Turkey with Sufi spiritual influences, his early curiosity about hidden dimensions of reality later evolved into a deep exploration of psychedelics, neuroscience, and emerging technologies. At just 23 years old, Batuhan participated in Imperial College London’s DMT research trials, where scientists administered intravenous DMT while monitoring brain activity. The experience profoundly reshaped his worldview, influencing his understanding of consciousness, spirituality, and the nature of reality. In this conversation, we explore the nature of psychedelic experiences, encounters with non-ordinary realms, the science behind DMT research, and the deeper philosophical question many listeners care about most: what does it mean to understand ourselves? Topics Discussed • Batuhan’s participation in the Imperial College London DMT trials • What happens during a clinical psychedelic study • The concept of the “curtain of perception” • Encounters with entities in the DMT realm • Similar psychedelic experiences across cultures • Psychedelics and religious symbolism • How psychedelic experiences can reshape personal values • The relationship between technology, consciousness, and human evolution • Whether profound spiritual states require psychedelics 📌 More Information about Batuhan: https://www.instagram.com/batuhanbintas/ 📌If this episode resonated with you, subscribe to the Triangle Theory newsletter for more insights on self-awareness, psychology, and human growth: https://tr.ee/KM1Gr5S8lG 📌If you enjoyed this episode, you can support us by buying us a coffee! :) https://tr.ee/maaifQETDl Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 01:46 - Mind/Body/Heart Reflection EPISODE STARTS 11:22 - Batuhan’s Imperial College DMT Study 16:44 - The DMT Injection Experience Begins 18:39 - Meeting God & Experiencing Unconditional Love 22:12 - Integrating the DMT Experience 24:01 - Ancient Civilisations & Shared Psychedelic Patterns 27:27 - Is Consciousness Produced by the Brain? 38:01 - Why Would God Hide the Truth? 47:17 - Reincarnation & Childhood Near-Death Experiences 58:41 - DMT Entities: Mantis Beings, Machine Elves & Hierarchies 1:09:24 - Ayahuasca Stories & Mystical Guidance 1:19:12 - Dark Psychedelic Experiences & “Purgatory” 1:21:36 - Why Batuhan Stopped Using DMT 1:28:46 - Future DMT Research & Batuhan’s Work ---------------------------- You can also support us at: Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://3-minute-theory.beehiiv.com/subscribe Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/triangle.theory_/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@triangle.theory Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/50RW93YVyR3YgEIuNdKIAZ?si=d77d72433a074a34 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/triangle-theory/id1769204627 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TriangleTheorypod Player FM: https://player.fm/series/triangle-theory Listen Notes: https://lnns.co/bdxlCwfrYN8 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/triangle-theory-5790906 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/triangle-theory-podcast/
