Around our campfire, we all listened to him explain his idea for the experiment. He was very deeply involved. Ideas were coming out of him
like spaghetti from a rasher, thousands of words about all of these strange things. He said, "You know what we could do?" Then he laid down
the rap that is now enshrined as the central doctrine of the opus. He called it hyper-carbolation. According to his theory, you could use the
singing voice and superconductivity (or the complete disappearance of electrical resistance, usually only possible with temperatures at
absolute zero) to drive the molecules
of psychedelic compounds into states of permanent association—or bonding—with living human DNA.
Dennis's rap drew on the theory of sound. If you pluck a string, it will sound in the octave in which it is struck, but it will also sound in
octaves above and below its key. It has what are called harmonic overtones. If you strike the chord and then squelch it, you can still hear the
harmonic overtones, a phenomenon that had fascinated Pythagoras. Dennis pointed out to us that one can use two sounds to cancel each other
if the two sounds are exactly the same in relation to each other.
The same phenomenon that produces harmonic overtones can be used to still the movements of molecules. In very localized areas, perhaps
only a few thousand angstroms across, one can produce low temperatures with audio cancellation. Molecular motion is a type of vibration and
in the presence of just the right audio input such molecular motion will cease. Operationally speaking, when molecular motion ceases the
molecule has reached a temperature of absolute zero, and superconductivity becomes possible.
Dennis felt he had figured out a way to blow the locked doors of paradise right off their hinges using psychoactive compounds, psilocybin, the
tryptamine complex, and the beta-carbolines that occur in ayahuasca. He said that if you look at the vibration of molecules in the betacarboline
family, you find that the electron spin resonance of these molecules, moving from one to another, is in fact a series of harmonic
overtones. This is interesting because psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo had reported in The Healing Journey that 50 percent of his subjects who
took harmine, a beta-carboline occuring in ayahuasca, reported a buzzing in the head. It was not associated with other kinds of psychedelics; it
seemed to be uniquely associated with these harmine compounds. The Jivaro shamans of Ecuador also report a buzzing in the head. Dennis's
idea was that when ayahuasca is metabolizing through one's neural matrix in the brain, a sound is heard.
Explaining just how this happens is far from simple. Electron spin resonance is a phenomenon of molecular structure in which high frequency
energy is put into the molecular system and electron spin resonance signals emerge from the system. But not all compounds have an electron
spin resonation; to exhibit ESR activity a
molecule must have a ring free of molecular encumbrances. All compounds with a free ring will resonate under certain conditions. The
hallucinogens we were interested in have free rings, as does DNA, the molecule at the center of the genetic machinery of all life.
When your body is metabolizing the alkaloids in ayahuasca, a relationship is formed with the tryptamine metabolites in the brain. A sound is
heard that is characteristic of the interaction. Once the sound is heard, it can be imitated. Then what you have is a vocal sound.
Ordinarily it would not occur to anyone to draw a connection between this sound and the signals produced by the ESR, which occur in the
microphysical realm. Here was where Dennis made his leap into delusion or illumination, for he began to insist that he could do things with
this sound. By vocalizing, Dennis felt that he would, in effect, be emitting an amplified spin resonance signal, an amplified ESR-modulated
sound that would be coming from the psilocybin metabolizing in his brain. Making this sound would set up a series of harmonic vibrations
above and below it in other compounds also active in his brain.
Now, from this theoretical basis, we take flight. If he is in the correct spatial orientation to the molecule he is directing sound at, when he stops
making the sound he is hearing, the molecule will become superconductive, because its vibration has been canceled. Of the many millions of
this kind of molecule struck by this sound, a few dozen or hundreds will be in the correct geometrical orientation and their molecular motion
will be stilled almost instantly. Now a peculiar property of low temperatures is that very high bonding energies appear between molecules. A
molecule close to absolute zero will bond to anything. It just forces its way into the structure.
Dennis tried to explain:
"The harmine molecule, which is structured like a little bell, gives a bell-like chiming and buzzing sound. If we come on it right and cancel it
and there is neural DNA active in the brain, the electrical configuration of harmine is enough like the molecular configuration of adenine, one
of the bases in DNA, that it will replace it. It will bond through into the chain. And when it is bonded in, its ring will become activated. It is
