Notes

Reports conversion from atheism to mysticism. Reports the use of ayahuasca to learn "many different things...the most important was that everything in the universe is really one thing. There was a perfect unity which had degrees of manifestation, with human beings at the top, no doubt."[1]

"...true therapy consists in ridding ourselves of the illusion of individuality and dissolving our egocentrism in Cosmic Consciousness.[2]

Interestingly, early on tagged Carlos Castenda as a fraud.[3]
