Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic Amazonian plant mixture that has been used for 100s, perhaps 1000s, of years by native Indian & mestizo shamans in Peru, Colombia & Ecuador for healing & divination. Many Western-trained physicians & psychologists have acknowledged that this substance can allow access to spiritual dimensions of consciousness, even mystical experiences indistinguishable from classic religious mysticism. In Sacred Vine of Spirits: Ayahuasca Ralph Metzner, a pioneer in the study of consciousness, has assembled a group of authoritative contributors who provide an exploration of the chemical, biological, psychological & experiential dimensions of ayahuasca. He has more than 20 1sthand accounts from Westerners who have used ayahuasca & also presents the history, psychology & chemistry of ayahuasca from leading scholars in the field of psychoactive research. He concludes with his own findings on ayahuasca, including its applications in medicine & psychology, comparing the worldview revealed by ayahuasca visions to that of Western cultures.
