The Many Paths to the Divine

A Web-Based Bibliography on alternate and permanent Realities/Cosmologies

"There are many paths to the Divine... Picture...a huge field. At the center is the biggest tree you can imagine. There are perhaps a million or more ways to get to that tree. It all depends on where you are currently standing. There is no one right way to get to the center. Will not any path to the center of the field get you to the tree?... The tree is the Tree of Life. It is the source of all knowledge."

The Sacred Voyage: a holotropic perspective on mental health

Ayahuasca is an entheogenous brew from the Amazonian rainforest and is used by local shamans. It is also used in rituals of the Santo Daime church. This report documents ayahuasca’s use for therapeutic purposes in a standardized setting. In chapter two, we will discuss our holistic view on mental health, which is the starting point for the Sacred Voyage. Chapter three describes the research design, the research sample, the questionnaire and the parameters that are assessed. This is followed by the results of the survey, in chapter four, which presents tables of the quantitative and gives a general impression of the qualitative results, which are given in full in appendix 2. Chapter five discusses the survey results and compares them with findings of earlier studies in this field. Finally, chapter six holds our conclusions and recommendations.
