Ayahuasca and the Invisible Hyper-Spatial Insectoid Ally

Dennis and Terence McKenna are two brothers who travelled up the
Amazon in order to investigate the use of ayahuasca by shamans. They
also tried it themselves. The following description of a portion of
their experience, taken from their brilliant book The Invisible
Landscape (Seabury Press, New York, 1975) demonstrates the relevance
of ayahuasca to the subject of UFOs:
We could feel the presence of some invisible hyper-spatial entity, an
ally, which seemed to be observing and sometimes exerting influence on
the situation to keep us moving gently toward an experimental
resolution of the ideas we were generating. Because of the alien
nature of the tryptamine trance, it's seeming accentuation of themes
alien, insectile, and futuristic, and because of previous experiences
with tryptamines in which insectile hallucinatory transformations were
observed, we were led to speculate that the role of the presence was
somehow like that of an anthropologist, come to give humanity the keys
to galactarian citizenship. We discussed this entity in terms of a
giant insect and, through the insect trill of the Amazon jungle at
midday, seemed able to discern a deeper harmonic buzz that somehow
signified the unseen outsider. This sense of the presence of an unseen
alien third entity was sometimes very intense, most intense in early
March, and from there fading off gradually.

For the next thirty-seven days, especially the next fourteen days, our
shared ideation consisted of, among other themes, but as a dominant
one, the idea of a shamanic journey of return from the ends of space
and time to earth, with the collected energy configuration of
space-time condensed into a kind of lens or saucer, a true
philosopher's stone. One of us experienced an intense transference
state similar to reactive paranoid schizophrenia and accepted the
paternal and curative role of shaman and psychopomp. From the sixth to
the seventeenth of March, one of us did not sleep, and the other,
while awake, spoke continuously, in apparent and convincing telepathic
rapport with anyone he wished, in command of enormous technological
erudition and with a strange and rapidly evolving hyperspatial
cosmology which, following a Manichean perception, visualized the
solar system as a huge light pump, wherein the light of souls is
pumped from planet to planet until it finally leaves the solar system
altogether, and is transmitted to the galactic center. Some of his
"discoveries" were that Jupiter is the reflected image of the earth in
hyperspace, is teeming with bizarre life forms, and is somehow an
essential key to unraveling the species' fate. In his interior epic,
late twentieth century history was experienced as a frantic effort to
build an object, which he called "the lens", in order to allow life to
escape to Jupiter on the heels of an impending global catastrophe.

Slowly, as the shamanic voyager neared his home, his place in space,
his stich in time, the mythmaking and the symptoms of election
schizophrenia faded in each of us. However, the continuing process of
understanding, triggered by the experiment, did not cease."
