The God Gene: VMAT2, DMT, and the Battle for Your Divine Connection

Title: The God Gene: VMAT2, DMT, and the Battle for Your Divine Connection

What if there was a gene that helped you feel God? A biological switch that, when activated, opened the gates to awe, empathy, transcendence, and divine communication? Enter VMAT2—the so-called "God Gene."

What Is the VMAT2 Gene?

VMAT2 stands for Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2, a gene responsible for transporting and storing powerful neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, histamine, and possibly even DMT into vesicles in your neurons. Without VMAT2, these vital compounds would be degraded before they could ever reach their intended targets.

VMAT2 acts like a guardian of consciousness, controlling the release of mood-regulating, awareness-shifting chemicals that shape our perception of reality, connection, and even God.

The Pineal Gland: The Spiritual Control Center

The pineal gland, often called the "third eye," is the seat of melatonin production. But some researchers suggest it may also produce endogenous DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) —a potent visionary compound. VMAT2 is believed to be the transport system that could safely package and release DMT during extraordinary states such as deep sleep, near-death experiences, or profound spiritual encounters.

Melatonin vs. DMT: Healing in Different Dimensions

Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and DNA repair hormone, playing a critical role in sleep and circadian balance. It promotes physical and cellular healing.

DMT, on the other hand, may provide emotional, neurological, and even spiritual healing. It appears to:

Promote neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity
Restore emotional circuits linked to trauma
Quiet the default mode network (the ego)
Induce mystical states of oneness, insight, and forgiveness

While melatonin is the gentle night nurse, DMT is the divine demolisher of mental walls.

Biblical Teachings and DMT Activation

What does Scripture say?

Matthew 6:22 says, "If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." Many believe this is a reference to the pineal gland and inner illumination.

Practices encouraged in the Bible may naturally support VMAT2 and endogenous DMT activity:

Fasting boosts autophagy and detoxifies the body, likely decalcifying the pineal.
Prayer and worship induce gamma and theta brainwaves linked to mystical states.
Forgiveness and purity lower stress hormones and open the heart.
Stillness and solitude suppress the egoic mind, a key step in entering divine awareness.
Gratitude and joy elevate serotonin and oxytocin, feeding the very neurotransmitters VMAT2 helps store and protect.

By living a life aligned with biblical principles, you may very well be optimizing your brain's capacity for spiritual encounter.

The Dangerous Hypothesis: What If VMAT2 Was Targeted?

In a controversial 2005 Pentagon leak, a video surfaced suggesting the idea of developing a "vaccine" to suppress VMAT2 expression in populations deemed overly religious or spiritually radical.

Whether or not this program was real, it raises a terrifying question:

What if a gene critical to spiritual connection was deliberately suppressed?

What Would Happen?

Loss of joy and meaning
Emotional numbness
Suppressed dreams and inner guidance
Disconnection from intuition and God
Greater susceptibility to control and external programming

This would not just be biological warfare. It would be spiritual warfare.

Speaking in Tongues: A Divine Neural Activation

Scientific studies, including a notable SPECT imaging study by Dr. Andrew Newberg of the University of Pennsylvania, show that speaking in tongues (glossolalia) causes a unique brain state: reduced activity in the prefrontal cortex (conscious control), and increased activity in the thalamus and limbic system (emotion and spiritual processing) [Newberg et al., 2006].

This mirrors the effects of endogenous DMT:

Suppression of the ego via decreased default mode network activity
Elevated emotional arousal
Access to mystical or transcendent experiences

Moreover, glossolalia may increase dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins — all neurotransmitters VMAT2 helps regulate. These are the same chemical messengers involved in:

Rewiring limiting beliefs
Heightening gratitude and empathy
Unlocking authentic communication and inner peace

Resources like Relevant Magazine and Jen Schreiner Ministries support that authenticity, gratitude, and transformed inner dialogue are hallmarks of Spirit-filled living, aligning closely with the neurological and emotional outcomes of speaking in tongues. Nonviolent communication and active listening — themes expanded in works like Authentic Communication (IVP) and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) — show us that the fruits of the Spirit can be nurtured through both intentional speech and divine utterance.

Glossolalia isn’t just a spiritual gift—it’s a neurospiritual gateway that may activate healing, rewiring, and deep transformation. Like DMT, it shuts down egoic resistance and reconnects you to the divine frequency hardwired into your being.

Protecting Your Divine Connection

Even without synthetic interference, modern life is already hostile to VMAT2:

Poor diet
Sleep deprivation
Digital overstimulation
Fluoride exposure
Lack of spiritual practice

But you can fortify your God-given gift:

Daily Practices to Strengthen VMAT2

Morning sunlight (to boost serotonin and set circadian rhythm)
Fasting and clean eating (especially raw dairy, eggs, grass-fed meats)
Deep prayer and meditation
Shilajit, magnesium, B6 (P5P), and tryptophan-rich foods
EMF minimization and pineal detox
Worship, gratitude, and heart coherence
Speaking in tongues as a regular practice

Final Word

If someone tried to delete VMAT2, they wouldn't just be targeting a gene. They'd be targeting your soul's antenna to the divine.

But spirit transcends biology. You were created in the image of God, and no gene can separate you from the truth that lives within.

"Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." —Romans 12:2

Stay awake. Stay pure. Stay connected.

Your inner temple is sacred. Protect it.
