Another commercial product reference in the form of a pun. I've mentioned it in a couple other threads but here's the evidence. Read the product description and decide for yourself.

^ Yogi Tea (herbal tea) + DMT (drug) = Yogi DMTea

Terry21

08-26-2006, 04:36 AM

Yes, but why would it be like that? I don't see any proof here. And what is the explantation, the meaning of it? T is a letter and we know it is spoken like tea. I rather thought it was something like instead of tea like Yogi tea it's DMT - so somethng like "fake DMT" but what has the tea to do in the T?

^ I'm not saying it's definitely corrrect. Just that it would be a clever pun. It's a play on words: Yogi Tea, but with DMT added, so he calls it Yogi-DM-Tea. (I should add that I don't know shit about the drug, so I don't know if it's even possible to take it mixed with tea)

Terry21

From the DMT page at Wikipedia:

The traditional South American ayahuasca, or yage, is a decocted tea-like mixture containing DMT.

Terry21, what i think BlanketEffect is referring to is a pun, meaning that it's DMT (what was just defined) but also Yogi [DM] Tea. a combination of DMT and Yogi Tea. yeah..? i'm not sure if i agree with that 100%, but i think i understand where he's coming from with this.

I don't how the majority of your brains work........but.......

Yogi - one who practices yoga and has achieved a high level of spiritual insight..

DMT - Very strong Psychedelic drug.

.........I don't really see the problem with combining these two things, do you?

Again, it hints towards the meaning of the song, along with the "Shit the bed" thing.

No subtle reference to consumer products, no annagram, it's all quite straight forward.

DMT is a hallocingen, in archaic and tribal socities these types of drugs were taking in order to commune with the gods/spirits/dead. In some tribes it was used as a rite of passage into manhood for boys.

The basis of this line: He takes some DMT-laced tea and meditates on the spectres, feelings, and things he sees in this state.

I mean, he was in the middle of the damn desert at night. If you're in the desert in the middle of the night you're either one of two things: an animal, or a human acting like one.

I mean, I know what DMT is, and how you do it, and to an extent, some of the types of people that do it. But it was specifically called 'yogi DMT' and I'll tell you this much, as steeped in the drug culture as I have become I've never once in all my reading heard it referred to as 'yogi DMT' - And I've studied a lot.

I really think it's another clever brand name reference to Yogi Tea.

Well, I dont know about the Yogi part, but if you guys say it's a brand thats fine with me. With DMT, in order for it to have an effect when you take it orally, must be mixed in with an MAOI so it doesn't just get metabolised. Most of the time, a tea is used for that. Many tribes and hippie groups drink psychoactive tea as a religious experience and oftentimes see aliens and "realize" the true meaning of life.

Right, right. Ayahuasca, the MAOI portion of the 'Yogi DMT' that makes the DMT work when ingested.

But stated in the fashion 'Yogi DMT' to be a play on words with the brand name 'Yogi Tea'. It's not like brandnames are without precident in this song, afterall.

Double-meaning chosen specifically for both of the double-meaning's literary effects.

Had an article in Rolling Stone recently predicting Ayahuasca/DMT becoming the new psychedelic of this generation. I dunno. Perhaps. DMT (either ingested or smoked... ESPECIALLY when smoked) isn't quite (when smoked, not at all) as recreational or forgiving as acid or shrooms, but who knows? People, being people, will always find new ways to intoxicate themselves.

We'll see if they're ready for that level.

My main point is People who do yoga are called yogi's, hence the teas name was derived from a yogi....

The goal of all Yoga practices is to discover and directly experience what the attention or faculty of consciousness in man is. The yogi seeks to know that principle by which all else is known. This goal is achieved by observing the observer or placing the attention on the attention itself. This may at first seem very abstract and hard to grasp in terms of practical application, but there are workable, time-proven methods for achieving this state of pure consciousness which when consistently applied and practiced are bound to yield results.

It should be constantly remembered during a psychedelic session that whatever perceptions, thoughts and even hallucinations occur, they are all the creations of one''s own mind and consciousness, and are filtered through one''s own instrument of perception. These perceptions are patternings of our own psychic energy. We give energy to whatever thoughts and feelings we allow the attention to dwell upon. Wherever the power of attention is focused, it generates mental and emotional energy in the form of its own lower overtones, thus feeding and energizing the thoughts and emotions which the attention dwells upon. It becomes clear that the key to remaining in control of a entheogenic experience is in controlling the flow of attention. Distractive experiences can be avoided in the first place, and the flow of attention can be properly directed by the use of Raja Yoga techniques of meditation. The following is a description of several such techniques which can all be applied while under the influence of LSD, marijuana, mescaline, DMT, hashish, psilocybin or other consciousness-expanding drugs.

My reason for MJK to probably put this in the song, almost jokingly is....

To practice this form of meditation, close your eyes, and observe your inner field of vision by focusing the attention at the point in the center of the forehead, just slightly above the point between the eyebrows. This location is called the Third Eye Center or Agna Chakra. It is related to the faculty of clairvoyant vision. The physical manifestation or anchorage point for the Agna Chakra is the pituitary gland, which is located in a bony cradle in back of the root of the nose.

Which seems to pertain to the train of thought, that he would probably be far more familiar with this then a tea?....although i have done shroom as tea :P either way...

i wouldnt say it's lost at all. it's produced in the pineal gland at birth, death, and orgasm. U should read "DMT: The Spirit Molecule." What's also interesting, which is mentioned in the book, is the correlation with certain beliefs referring to reincarnation. It's said by different religions that it takes the soul 21 days to reincarnate itself into another body. Well, during pregnancy, it takes 21 days exactly for the pineal to be present in an unborn fetus.

In a 1988 study conducted at UNM, psychiatrist Rick Strassman (who wrote the book DMT; The Spirit Molecule) found that approximately 20% of volunteers injected with high doses of DMT had experiences with a perceived alien entity. People I know who have taken the substance also reported the same ET experience. To me, the term Yogi DMT provides context for the song.

Daniel Pinchbec, yeah, I saw your post. I've got "Breaking Open the Head" - I know he's kind of a herald for the new age of psychedelics.

I just didn't think anything he written has been that profound or insightful.

Was that the clue, oh mystic prophet of Pinchbec?

also to the best of my knowledge:
"Yogi DMT" = Salvia Divinorum

I think anybody who wants to explain DMT should look it up first, or at least have repsectable knowledge about it. There are many good articles about DMT online, just make sure you read one that is not written by some hippy cult figure. I'm a sceptic of wikipedia but there is a really good DMT reference there. you have all been talking about a small part of a much larger picture. Spiral out.

Is this really so hard to believe? That Maynard is playing with words here?
Do gyrascopes and infared have any connection other than this song? For all we know it could be the first time these two words/concepts/things have ever been juxtaposed. There may be an underground "deadhead" chemist somewhere who calls his particular product Yogi DMT. Like "Statue of Liberty" or Bart Simpson acid.
