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.

Exactly. Clever pun.

DMT
N,N-Dimethyltryptamine
Occurs naturally in plants with hallucinogenic properties

occurs naturally in the human pineal gland under the right circumstances

Can you explain that to me?

Yes rem sleep and death

me 2

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

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)

DMT with tea added! I didn't know that you mean this, I thought it was all about the words.

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.

DMT shows you everything.... everywhere .... every time....

It is the lost key of perception...

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.

Yogaman-drug.

I don't get the combination.

^^ awsome read

Spiritual insight, and psychedelic drugs.........something you're apparently devoid of.

yogi is a person that does yoga meditation IIRC. I have heard that some people use DMT to enhance meditation practices with yoga. IDK. food for thought.

Here's a little more on the subject...a link that I stumbled upon:

http://www.fusionanomaly.net/dmt.html

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.

here is your yogi dmt answer

here is how yah make it :P

Just a jab at pseudo spiritual people? Who claim enlightenment but are actually out of there heads...you know the people, the severe hippy burners....

Maybe he's just smoking the stuff.

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.

smart man, ... put 2 and 2 together, yogi tea, used as the the mix with DMT, yogi DMT< i dont see how there are contradictions to this.

Tea, Indians like tea, Lipan Conjuring is the beginning of the story

Daniel Pinchbeck

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....

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

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 hear alexjmaro.com does this for you...you don't even have to close you're eyes

Maybe it's DMT a yogi sold to him.

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.

^^

I own the book, I thought it was 49 days? *shrugs* - *wanders off into the library*

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.

QFT, you guys are idiots.

I even gave you a damn clue in this thread.
