DM Turner- The Esseential psychedelic guide

infinite, and branch out endlessly. An artist's marks upon a canvas are but
one rendering of the multitude of visions held inside the head, and
CydelikSpace additionally contains innumerable visions that the artist never
dreamed in the wildest fits of imagination.
Occasionally I've experienced events while in CydelikSpace that later
manifested in consensus reality. One can also experience events that
happened in a time and place where they were not present, and find that
these events actually occurred. This is not to say that all experiences in
CydelikSpace have parallels in consensus reality. Only a very small percent
do. This can be compared to dreams. Almost everyone has had a few
dreams that were precognitive, or somehow paranormal, but it is only one in
a great number. The same generally holds true for paranormal psychedelic
experiences. However, it has been stated that many shamans in the
Amazonian regions have effectively mastered this ability to enter the
psychedelic universe, and view future or past events from the lives of those
in their community.
In The Holotropic Mind Stan Grof suggests "As individual human beings
we are not isolated and insignificant Newtonian entities; rather, as integral
fields of the holomovement (CydelikSpace) each of us is also a microcosm
that reflects the macrocosm. If this is true, then we each hold the potential
for having direct and immediate experiential access to virtually every aspect
of the universe, extending our capacities well beyond the reach of our
senses."
Through his observation of thousands of psychedelic sessions, as well as
sessions involving other means of entering into "non-ordinary states of
consciousness," Grof has put together a very thorough collection of
information to confirm that events and experiences of the type I describe
here are common occurrences for the majority of psychedelic users. He
argues that the indisputable validity of these experiences calls for a new
model and understanding of ourselves, our minds, and the manifest
universe. In summarizing his observations Grof says "I am now convinced
that our individual consciousnesses connect us not only with our immediate
environment and with various periods of our own past, but also with events
that are far beyond the reach of our physical senses, extending into other
historical times, into nature, and into the cosmos... we can re-experience
episodes that took place when we were fetuses in our mothers' wombs... On
occasion we can reach far back in time and witness sequences from the lives
of our human and animal ancestors... We can transcend time and space,
cross boundaries separating us from various animal species, experience
processes in the botanical kingdom and in the inorganic world, and even
explore mythological and other realities that we previously did not know
