The NEXT DAY WAS the much-anticipated fourth of March. After we made breakfast we did not tear down our fire as we normally would<br />
have done. Instead we began to brew the carefully shredded Banisteriopsis caapi vines in several gallons of spring water. The fire made of the<br />
gnarled and now sun-baked roots burned furiously. The pot responded with an even, rolling boil that is the correct condition for making the<br />
brew.<br />
All afternoon long we three cooked and said little. Dave and Vanessa used this time to visit and photograph the old village of La Chorrera<br />
across the lake. That evening they were to join us for a light meal, after which they had agreed to withdraw from the group and allow the<br />
ayahuasca-taking and the experimental test of hyper-carbolation to go on without them. I am sure that Dennis's mind, far more than my own,<br />
was preoccupied with the details of the test. During the days preceding, he had been often irritable, and this I took to be a part of the spectrum<br />
of effects accompanying whatever odd sort of mental unfoldment he was experiencing. While he was thus preoccupied with interior issues and<br />
vistas, I was the hawk-eyed guardian of the shamanic fires and procedures.<br />
There recently had been much discussion of fire and the role it must have played in forming the mental world of archaic human beings. Once,<br />
as we sat staring into the camp fire, Dennis had remarked to me that, "People have been looking into fires like this for thousands and<br />
thousands of years. The squeal of these coals is the release of ionized plasma and in the flickering waves of free electrons thus created, one<br />
can see into the past and the future. The fire is the place where the ideas come from."<br />
I was silent. I felt our ancestors then, seemingly present on the other side of the interface represented by the flame. "What is happening to us?"<br />
I again asked myself, but said nothing, silence seeming more eloquent.<br />
Dennis, completely occupied with creating a test that would reveal the phenomenon in such a way as to overturn skepticism, spent part of the<br />
day writing furiously:<br />
March 4, 1971<br />
It is now possible to reconstruct the physical-chemical idea that has evolved in the process of understanding this phenomenon: i.e., the fourthdimensional<br />
rotation of matter. I understand from examining the linguistic model we have constructed that the waveform ESR interference<br />
that will accomplish the work operates in a somewhat different manner than I had thought. It can be explained thus: The psilocybin that occurs<br />
in the mushroom acts as an antenna for picking up and amplifying the harmonic ESR tones of all tryptophane-derived compounds of all living<br />
organisms within its range. Since the psilocybin undergoing metabolism is superconductive, this means that its range of reception is<br />
theoretically infinite. The antenna does, to some degree, pick up a signal whose ultimate origin is the totality of living creatures; but since the<br />
psilocybin metabolism is carried on within the brain (or mushroom) at a very low voltage level, the antenna behaves as though its range was<br />
limited, even though it is superconductive.<br />
I see this notion as an effort to explain the very real sense of informational interconnectedness that pervaded our experience, which occurred<br />
in one of the densest tropical forests on the planet. We did seem to be in touch with the living mind of the<br />
tropical forest. Perhaps tryptamine compounds are the mediators of the signaling mechanisms of the command-and-control structure that<br />
regulates and integrates whole ecosystems. More Dennis:<br />
It seems clear, therefore, that the signal, which when we are intoxicated on the mushroom in this ecologically dense area can be discerned so<br />
clearly, originates in the ESR resonation of the ayahuasca plant, though perhaps all the biosphere is picked up and broadcast, amplified via the<br />
ayahuasca superconductive transducer. This understanding will clarify precisely what will occur at the moment of fourth-dimensional warp.<br />
Ingesting the ayahuasca harmine will speed up the process of metabolism enough to amplify its ESR tone to an audible level; this ESR tone<br />
will harmonically cancel out the ESR tone of the psilocybin within the mushroom, causing it to lose its electric field and snap into a<br />
superconducting configuration. The ayahuasca ESR signal will have keyed the mushroom psilocybin into a superconducting antenna; it is then<br />
ready to have the psilocybin- harmine-DNA compound being metabolized within the body condensed onto its charged template. A<br />
microsecond after the mushroom psilocybin has been superconductively charged, its amplified ESR wave will then cancel out the ESR signals<br />
of the tryptamines and harmine metabolizing in the body, as well as the genetic material. This will cause these compounds to drop into<br />
superconductive configuration and bond together at the exact moment that they bond to the waiting mushroom template.<br />
This transfer of superconductive compounds charged within the body to a superconductive template prepared within the mushroom will not<br />
