At long last, I’m delighted to announce the publication of my latest book: DMT and The Soul of Prophecy. In this book, I tackle the major unresolved issues with which I was left after finishing my DMT project nearly 20 years ago. This was to find a model that fit the data from our volunteers’ reports of the drug state. This ultimately led me to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) where the notion of a “prophetic state of consciousness” began taking shape. At the same time, in order to make sense of the Hebrew Bible, I turned to the classic medieval Jewish philosophers like Maimonides, who proposed rather sophisticated metaphysical/spiritual mechanisms for the prophetic experience. Thus, to the extent that the prophetic and DMT states resembled each other, I could propose metaphysical and spiritual mechanisms in common in addition to shared biological mechanisms.

Ayahuasca has reached critical mass. No longer is the brew an obscurity from the depths of the Amazon - Ayahuasca has escaped the forest and arrived in the urban centers of the world. The rapid popularization has made its curative powers accessible on an unprecedented scale, giving rise to a form of cosmic psychotherapy on an unprecedented scale. Now avoiding the traps of growth becomes a more pressing issue than ever before: Most professions, particularly in the field of medicine and health, are guided by a code of conduct by which practitioners abide. However, in the case of Ayahuasca, the absence of an international unifying platform has given rise to unethical and opportunistic practices, which are unsustainable as Ayahuasca moves further into contemporary society. In order to address these questions and form a unified voice, the organization ICEERS has created the interdisciplinary conference AYA2014 on which a global model for the use of Ayahuasca can discussed and adopted.
