Ayahuasca cures writer Kira Salak’s depression. She writes: “(The shamans’) perspective is not unlike that presented by quantum theorists, such as David Bohm, who describe a holographic universe with coexisting realms of reality. To Amazonian shamans, there are an infinite number of such realms, each as distinct from one another as London or Paris, each inhabited by beings with certain appearances, abilities, and customs. To become a master shaman, they contend, one must learn to negotiate these worlds, to enlist the assistance of their various denizens, to become comfortable working in places of light and darkness. For, they will tell you, there is no doubt that there is a heaven and hell — many levels and manifestations of each, in fact — which are as real as Tokyo or Palm Beach. Yes, one finds angels and demons in such places. Hollywood got that part right.”
