PARANTHROPOLOGY: JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE PARANORMAL VOL. 2 NO. 2<br />
We went to a hillside by Lake<br />
Guatavita to begin our meditation circle.<br />
Some took LSD, some chewed their coca<br />
leaves, <strong>and</strong> some smoked strong cannabis,<br />
some did not indulge. However, our<br />
results were spectacular, <strong>and</strong> Dr. Andrew<br />
Weil published the first part of the event<br />
in Rolling Stone (3). I have published the<br />
whole story with illustrations in several<br />
articles <strong>and</strong> again in my 1999 book<br />
"MULTIDIMENSIONAL MIND:<br />
Remote Viewing in Hyperspace," chapter<br />
3. (4) After that event, the "mamu" of the<br />
Abintiqua tribe invited me to visit his<br />
village in the mountains.<br />
The small plane that took us part<br />
way served some sort of meat pie, which<br />
caused me great stomach <strong>and</strong> intestinal<br />
pain when we arrived at the little town<br />
where we were to catch a bus.<br />
Fortunately, the bus would not leave for<br />
two or more hours. The tourist guide <strong>and</strong><br />
translator took me to a place where food<br />
was served (cooked over an open fire<br />
outdoors). The woman who offered to<br />
help me looked just like my gr<strong>and</strong>mother.<br />
Her compassion was in the hot tea she<br />
served me <strong>and</strong> in her eyes. I asked the<br />
guide to find me some of the famous<br />
Colombian grass or hashish. I felt that<br />
since Rolling Thunder had taken <strong>and</strong><br />
processed the bite of a rattlesnake as part<br />
of his initiation ceremony to become a<br />
shaman, I should be able to process a<br />
little meat poisoning. The sacred herb<br />
was supplied, <strong>and</strong> we went outside to<br />
smoke it. I came back into the bed near<br />
the bathroom that the compassionate soul<br />
had provided for me. There I went into<br />
deep meditation while I breathed deeply<br />
into my intestines, <strong>and</strong> visualized them<br />
moving quickly. The process was<br />
completed happily in time to catch the<br />
"bus." This was a flatbed truck, with<br />
loose sides for people to hang onto. It<br />
had boards across from side to side,<br />
where the people sat with their chickens<br />
<strong>and</strong> iguanas (a food delicacy in that area).<br />
The truck bounced over the dirt road until<br />
we arrived at another small hill station (or<br />
town). From here, the only way to the<br />
native village was by mule or by jeep.<br />
We chose the jeep, which was large<br />
enough for eight or more people (I don't<br />
remember for sure now).<br />
This was near the equinox <strong>and</strong> also<br />
near the equator, so the sun was almost<br />
directly overhead. I was often confused<br />
about directions, because the shadows<br />
were different than they are at our home<br />
latitude in San Francisco, CA. Finally we<br />
arrived at the village that had mostly mud<br />
huts with thatched roofs. The Catholics<br />
had built a couple of concrete block<br />
buildings for the school <strong>and</strong> the teacher.<br />
The people were short. I am only<br />
5'3" <strong>and</strong> I was the tallest person in the<br />
village. The women giggled when they<br />
touched my thin blond hair, <strong>and</strong> all were<br />
welcoming, curious <strong>and</strong> friendly. The<br />
men wore homespun sheep's wool dresses<br />
<strong>and</strong> special hats. They walked barefoot<br />
over the earth. They all carried their bags<br />
of coca leaves with a gourd full of<br />
crushed seashells to mix with the juice of<br />
the coca. (Women picked the leaves, but<br />
were not allowed to chew it.) My<br />
experiences there comprise an amazing<br />
series of events, not included in this short<br />
report, which is focused only on the<br />
psychic activity as we were leaving. The<br />
mamu had asked me to stay longer to<br />
meet others who were walking over the<br />
hills from a different village. But I had<br />
already planned to fly back, <strong>and</strong> did not<br />
have the extra money to make any<br />
changes in flight plans whatsoever.<br />
When all the people settled into the<br />
jeep, we started off, only to stop on the<br />
road a short time later because of car<br />
