Journey

Step through the looking glass into a mystical world whose dazzling beauty and spiritual wisdom liken it to a Native American vision quest or sacred peyote ceremony. See how this transcendental but taboo experience interfaced with pivotal life events to help mold a master healer whom many call shaman. Cast into the crucible of a loved one's devastating drug addiction and concerned about the effect of her words on the vulnerable young, the author refused for many years to publish her fascinating story. While vanguard thinkers currently debate the role of psychedelics in technological wizardry and psychological healing, this warm, honest work offers insight into why seekers of Truth through the ages sometimes use chemicals to explore inner realms. Sure to be met with derision in some quarters, this courageous memoir by a mature independent thinker takes you along on a journey that many have made -- but few reveal.
