The venom from Bufo alvarius, an unusual toad found in the Sonoran desert, contains 5-MeO-DMT, a potent natural chemical similar in effect to the more common entheogen DMT. The venom can be dried into a powder, which some researchers speculate was used ceremonially by Amerindian shamans. When smoked it prompts an instantaneous break with the physical world that causes out-of-body experiences completely removed from the conventional dimensions of reality. In Tryptamine Palace,James Oroc shares his personal experiences with 5-MeODMT, which led to a complete transformation of his understanding of himself and of the very fabric of reality. Driven to comprehend the transformational properties of this substance, Oroc combined extensive studies of physics and philosophy with the epiphanies he gained from his time at Burning Man. He discovered that ingesting tryptamines unlocked a fundamental human capacity for higher knowledge through direct contact with the zero-point field of modern physics, known to the ancients as the Akashic Field. In the quantum world of nonlocal interactions, the line between the physical and the mental dissolves. 5-MeO-DMT, Oroc argues, can act as a means to awaken the remarkable capacities of the human soul as well as restore experiential mystical spirituality to Western civilization.

Product description

Review

“James Oroc writes about wresting spiritual insights from the mind-storms catalyzed by psychedelics, and along the way wrestles with his culture and his role in it. His principal drug ally, 5-MeO-DMT, is not easy to use well, but Oroc emerges grounded and inspired with tales worth sharing.” ― Rick Doblin, founder and president of MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies)

“With this book, Oroc has proved that the impossible can in fact be put into words. WOW indeed! A must-have for any serious psychonaut on (arguably) the most important subject matter of all time.” ― Dimitri Djanbani, moderator of http://dmt.tribe.net, a DMT discussion group

“If DMT is the ‘Spirit Molecule,’ then 5-MeO-DMT certainly qualifies as the ‘God Molecule’ as illustrated in this highly significant contribution to entheogenic literature. The immediate opening to full God consciousness that 5-MeO-DMT occasions demands careful attention by all those interested in spiritual states of consciousness, entheogenic experience, and the true nature of reality. Oroc’s book is a great beginning to the fascinating exploration that awaits us with 5-MeO-DMT.” ― Martin W. Ball, Ph.D., author of Mushroom Wisdom: How Shamans Cultivate Spiritual Consciousness

“A gripping account of a mind transformed by the powerful psychoactive 5-MeO-DMT struggling to understand its unexpected conversion from atheist to true believer. Oroc fuses hard data and engaging speculations to fire the imagination. Tryptamine Palace is ‘Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride’ for entheogen aficionados, where the firsthand experience of God may be just a toke away.” ― Jon Hanna, mindstates.org

“Tryptamine Palace is destined to be the seminal study of 5-MeODMT, just as The Spirit Molecule personifies DMT and My Problem Child evokes LSD.” ― Andrew Sewell, M.D., LSD cluster-headache researcher

“. . . an essential addition to any entheophile’s library.” ― Erowid, October 2011

“The Tryptamine Palace is a very informative and engaging book, which aside from eloquently describing his own experiences, manages to provoke many interesting thoughts about psychedelic history (there’s a couple of wonderful sections on Burroughs and Leary), modern society, and the nature of 5-MeO-DMT. I highly recommend this book as one of the finest examples of the psycho-spiritual narrative to have been published in recent years.” ― Psychedelic Press UK, January 2013

The Aftermath

If it were not for the following two experiences, I may have continued smoking 5-MeO-DMT with the same carefree abandon that marked this first three months. But as fate would have it, the character of my 5-MeO-DMT experiences was about to change.
The first of these experiences is my most sacred tryptamine experience of all. It challenges the last shreds of my worldview so soundly and touches a place so deep inside my soul that it is hard for me to share.
This 5-MeO-DMT experience began at close to midnight on October 30th in New Orleans, in a neighborhood famous for its association with Haitian voodoo. I was with an old friend, Rene, who was completely sober at the point that I inhaled the 5-MeO-DMT while sitting cross-legged on a couch opposite her.
On this occasion, I sailed through the usual progression of steps, and I remember hitting the stage during which the enormity of the knowledge and the timeless nature of my environment frightens me into a return to my physical form. I recall opening my eyes at that point, before bursting into a realm that can only be described as pure light. But this was not ordinary white light, nor even the white tunnel that I dissolve into when I exhale; instead, it was a fractal-filled prismatic light of indescribable radiance and beauty that pulsed with its own intelligence.
I then inexplicably felt a strong sense of the presence my friend Brigid, who had died several years earlier. It was as if we were walking together, hand in hand, through towering shadowy trees on a field of stars, and she was laughing, her smile radiant. This was not a memory, but a feeling of actually being there with her.
The next thing I knew, I found myself back in normal reality, lying peacefully on the sofa and feeling totally calm after what was my least tumultuous return from the tryptamine palace. All I said was, “I just remembered an old friend.”
At this point Rene came over and sat down beside me where I lay and gripped my arm quite hard. I realized that her face was covered with tears. “There was a woman in the room,” she said, as she wrung her hands with her eyes closed, seemingly occupying some place between two worlds. “She was young and beautiful. She was laughing. And she wanted to tell you that she was sorry she did not get a chance to say good-bye, and that she loves you. She is still here, but she’s fading away.” Rene went on to further describe my dead friend’s appearance and personality as if she knew her. She was obviously agitated and very emotional.
Rene’s version of the events went like this: After I exhaled the 5-MeO-DMT, she saw a beam of light the size of an American quarter come out of my chest, and then I split into two perfect copies of myself, sitting side-by-side on the couch. Since she was completely straight, she found it hard to believe what she was seeing. Yet she said that she could open and close her eyes, rub them, and the vision was still there --apparently for a period of several minutes. This is when the spirit of my dead friend suddenly appeared: an encounter she described in convincing detail. Rene did not know my dead friend at all, nor do I ever remember mentioning her.
Rene is a mother with a grown son, and she was completely sober during my trip. But if you had walked into the room, you would have sworn that she had taken some kind of a drug and that I was the sober one. I had no idea what to think, since I did not believe in life after death.
I have always felt that I had a strange karmic bond with my beautiful friend who died, and I had last seen her in New Orleans. A few years earlier, I attended my first Mardi Gras. On its climactic final day--Fat Tuesday--I was standing on the street watching the Zulu parade when a sudden deep depression descended upon me, causing me to cry. My friends were concerned, but I managed to shake off this severe feeling and made it through the rest of the day with just a general sense of unease.
The following week I telephoned my home country to check on a pair of old friends who were expecting a baby. Upon hearing that their bouncing baby boy had been delivered premature but fine, I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I asked, for no real reason, if my friends had seen Brigid recently. Complete silence was the response before my friend told me that Brigid had died suddenly of a brain embolism. He had assumed that I had already heard. She had died on what was, on the other side of the world in New Orleans, Mardi Gras day.
Coincidences like these occur naturally enough in life and can easily be discredited by logical disbelievers. I certainly would not consider this a proof of any kind myself. But whatever happened between Rene and me while I was under the influence of that brain-full of 5-MeO-DMT is a much harder experience to discredit. Did the spirit of my deceased friend enter the room? Or did my mind, supercharged from three months of regular 5-MeO-DMT smoking, project that image randomly into the ether?
All in all, this was a heavy experience. I decided to take a break from tryptamine smoking so I could give myself adequate time to reflect on the variety of possibilities that this last experience had opened up. I no longer consider 5-MeO-DMT to be a “drug.” Rather, it is a sacrament. Smoking 5-MeO-DMT up to this point had been mind-blowing good fun and spiritually enlightening. But after this experience in New Orleans, my interpretation and understanding of it took on a deeper meaning.

Like the compound in question, a thoroughly thought provoking and mind expanding experience
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 May 2017
Verified Purchase

This is a fantastic book I’m very glad I took the time to read. Like the compound in question, it is a thoroughly thought provoking, mind expanding and interesting experience. James Oroc writes well and is a clearly highly intelligent individual, in this book he goes into detail about a major personal transformation engineered via his experience with the powerful psychedelic compound 5-MeO-DMT. Coming from a scientific background which places much importance on rational thinking, I was personally all the more intrigued that Oroc’s initial position was that of a staunch and cynical atheist, content as he was in his life as a non-believer, with no interest in seeking God. This isn’t a guy away with the new age fairies, but a rational, grounded and smart individual that had his life changed via a peak experience via this very powerful psychedelic compound. Oroc is also a seasoned psychonaut, so is not given to psychedelic flights of fancy…this is a guy that has been around the experiential block, so him being so moved by his encounter with 5-MeO-DMT is all the more intriguing set in this context.

I much enjoyed Oroc’s approach to making attempts to explain his experience, and its implications. He remains grounded and turns to quantum physics, and explores how this may explain and link to his experience. Now, very often when authors and others try and link quantum physics with anything consciousness related, it would be time to start taking things with a hefty pinch of salt (one should beware of so called quantum woo). Oroc however manages to weave a lucid, rational, comprehensive and fascinating story regarding how quantum physics may be woven into the substance of his experience, and the medium of consciousness in which it occurs.

Since I began reading this book, I’ve had two experiences with 5-MeO-DMT in the form of Bufo alvarius secretion. Collectively, these experiences I consider the most profound and amazing of my life to date. It took a second experience for me to "get the message" so to speak. This experience is something deep and potentially life transformative and should not be entered unto lightly...this is NOT a recreational experience in any sense. Being a scientist I have, or had, a similar scientific outlook to Oroc prior to his own breakthrough experience. Given the power of this experience, it took me some time after the experience and a period of reflection and integration for me to better assimilate the insights of this experience, and having done so, life will never quite be the same. I can state with my own experience that my own perspectives share a great deal of overlap with Oroc's. Re-reading parts of Oroc’s book were really helpful with integration and in making sense of my experience, and I feel this book will be of great value to any prospective 5-MeO-DMT explorers, as there are some good suggestions in the text on how to both use 5-MeO-DMT safely, and to get the most out of one’s experiences.

If anyone reading this enjoyed Rick Strassman’s book “DMT: The Spirit Molecule”, then you will certainly find this fascinating reading. I would highly recommend this book to any serious psychonauts, to any serious explorers of consciousness or to anyone fascinated by the potentials of human consciousness or the transformative power of transcendent or mystical experiences. Thank you to James Oroc for sharing his internal ponderings with us.

A brilliant read that only Oroc could pull-off with the right balance of humour and hardcore information
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2017
Verified Purchase
Oroc is one of a kind. I am almost through finishing this book, it is a brilliant book giving a comprehensive, well written account on all aspects of 5-MeO-DMT. Not only is written in a natural style, it has been well researched and put in plain english (as far as is possible), it has been written with humour and integrity that could only come from a well-travelled, intelligent, 'no axe to grind' sort of guy. This book, on first reading, takes on the role as a novel then will morph into a reference book for anyone wanting to understand, without sugar-coating, almost everything about the Toad. Respect for the substance coupled with the obvious conclusion that 5-Meo-DMT must be experienced to be believed. Words are inadequate to truly convey the experience, but James Oroc comes very close. For Oroc to go from a hard core Atheist to a spiritual individual in a matter of minutes should tell us all something. A 'tryp' of a lifetime. I look forward to his up-coming books.

A book for open minded
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2012
Verified Purchase
I was thinking of writing a detailed report as this book was an enchanting adventure for my mind: very stimulating speculations, nice and fluent narrative and interesting links to several topics related with mysticism and its truths.
Now, instead, I realised that you don't really need a long writeup for Oroc''s work.

First thing first: is it worth to read it?
Yes. I would buy this book again if I went back.

Why?
Because the author is a very smart person who is exposing his personal experience with a true mystical happening, providing consequently a sum of several metaphysical visions and intellectual arguments from different cultures which may be related to it. He also indulges in offering philosophical consequences a person CAN derive from new discoveries in the still mysterious field of quantum physics, especially the so-called zero-point field.

Stated that, there are indeed some "warnings" I need to put forward on this work.

One is that, to appreciate the effort of the author (I gave 4 stars because I can't say that this opera is perfect, sometimes, since I'm interested in the subject, I felt the need to check the source of his theories -like Hasch's The God Theory- to better understand them or, in other cases, to work out a different point of view on a certain subject) you need to be ready to take on board, at least, that SOMETHING HAPPENS when an individual undergoes a mystical revelation.
Also, you are definitely requested to be open minded about the possibility of a different, but TRUE (whether necessary, better, worse or simply other is up to you to decide), experience of the world when you alter your basic state of mind (including taking a psychedelic).
In the end you are as well supposed not to take his theories for "absolute truth", but, as he also says, to take them on board and use them as a stimulus for your own make-out of what's beyond this reality.

I believe, in conclusion, that with these requirements matched, you can really intellectually enjoy this book.

I did, and I also think that there is more than "some kind" of truth in what this book is about... But then here we go on the subjective, so the review ends here.

I believe that this is not a path, nor a way to enlightenment. It is only a possibility of a door to see. The Ayahuasca perhaps is a medicine. It has done some things to my body and my sister doctor's ears. I have seen just physical experiences and I have doubts and some fear with the last descriptions.

An amazing journey indeed!

I usually don't write reviews, but I feel I owe it to this amazing author and this masterpiece he has created. If you enjoyed authors such as Rick Strassman, Graham Hancock, Martin Ball, Daniel Pinchbeck, Roger Walsh and Terrance McKenna - you will absolutely love this book.

Mr. Oroc is truly a talented writer. He has taken the monumental task of articulating an ultimate psychedelic experience, and within the mere confines of human language has produced a sheer classic. This has been the most profound book on entheogens I have read to date.

Oroc not only gives us the mystical side of a 5MEO-DMT experience but shows stunning correlations to cutting edge quantum physics and eastern mystical traditions. With the help of Ervin Laszlo and other leading thinkers of the day, Oroc creates a convincing hypothesis of the basis of reality, and how entheogens fit in.

This book takes your from Oroc's experiences trying to catch the elusive Sonoran Desert Toad, to the Burning Man playa, to the zero-point field, to the mountainous temples of India, and back to New Orleans and his home in the Caribbean. It's an epic journey! I finished this book in less than a week - It was impossible to put down!

At an important time in human history, this book was surely destined to be produced. Oroc said it himself a part of him, some force, was determined to produce this book. It's level headed approach to issues of spirituality, the human experience, and controversial "hallucinogens" are pivotal in this turning point in human history. The transformation which took place within Mr. Oroc is happening within more and more people around the world. This book is a piece of the puzzle and a catalyst for the ultimate reality which is human destiny: The nature of the cosmos is love, and we are co-creators of our own realities!

A serious investigation into the role the psychedelic drug 5-meo-dmt can potentially play in human spiritual awakening
Reviewed in the United States on 21 February 2014
Verified Purchase
Tryptamine palace by James oroc is an important contribution to the literature on psychedelic drugs and states of human concsciousness. It appears 5-meo-dmt may be the most powerful psychedelic drug so far known to man-here understood as an entheogen opening up one to higher states of consciousness as understood by the mystic traditions worldwide such as Vedic/Vedanta and Tibetan Nyingma Buddhism that are life transformative in making one a more deeply spiritual person loving life, wanting to benefit other people more as well as the planet and bringing a deep sense sense of peace and well being to ones existence. James oroc goes very deeply into metaphysics and interpretations of quantum physics in trying to make sense of his 5-meo-dmt experiences. We are both an emanation and identical to a cosmic intelligence/awareness field which is evolving our universe. The metaphysics and interpretations of quantum physics he uses are fascinating, in partjcular the ways he links them up to the Vedic and nyingma/dzogchen Buddhist based traditions. Oroc refers you to works by Bernard haisch in god theory and by ervin laszlo in science and the akashic field:a theory of everything and by Lynne mctaggart in the field: the quest for the secret force of the universe. This is the most fascinating part of the book. Now few people in his long experience of administering the psychedelic drug 5-meo-dmt have a cosmic opening and it is tricky to administer it properly in the proper not too high dosage with the proper supportive setting which can cause real adverse reactions--which is not helped by the fact it is illegal. I think that at this point it should be researched carefully under very supportive settings if the government would only grant permission here. Again a very worthwhile book on the role that psychedelic drugs can play in opening up human consciousness and investigating reality. Eric warwick
