Does anyone here get the notion that hyperspace is always there with or without DMT, and that all the drug does is let you "tune into" it?

Here's my observational evidence:

At low doses, I've noticed on several occasions that the visuals are happening without me even noticing. Then suddenly I'll realize that there's been something there the whole time, but I just didn't notice it. Once I've keyed in on it, I will be able to stay focused on it for a while.

When I break through, I've noticed a few interesting things. One is that if, near the end of the trip, I want to stay a bit longer, I have often been able to do so with a steadily increasing amount of mental energy. But when I decide to go (during the comedown), I can usually snap out of it by opening my eyes. Then all of the visuals will often disappear instantly, and there's no way to return.

During some comedowns, I'll see some intense visuals. If I remain calm and focus, these visuals will last for a significant amount of time, but eventually will fade out. But if at any point I look away or lose my focus, the visuals will disappear and won't come back. I had the idea last time this happened that with enough focus, it might even be possible to continue seeing those visuals long after the trip was over. But this is kind of like walking a tightrope as the wind picks up.

Hypotheses:

• The DMT world always there, waiting for us, influencing us.
• DTM isn't a means to "enter" this world, but is merely a means to perceive it - like picking a TV channel.

If these are true, there are some follow-up questions:

• With enough practice, can DMT trips be prolonged through sheer willpower?
• Can one be made aware of the DMT world without actually ingesting any DMT?
