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

Peter A. Levine: ‘If we, by means of focusing on our felt senses, allow ourselves to acknowledge our thoughts and sensations, and let them take their natural course, they will peak, then decrease and finally dissolve. During this process we may experience the following: trembling, quivering, vibrating, hot flushes, calm full breathing, a steadier heartbeat, perspiration, relaxation of the muscles and an all-encompassing feeling of relief, well-being and security.’

This focusing on the felt sense (Eugene Gendlin), even when it is not used in conjunction with ayahuasca, may be a very effective tool to help dissolve the energetic blockades and to revive the individual essence, making it an important part of the process.
