ST,<br><br>I came across a report done a few years ago with referenced sources that may be of help.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ayahuasca/ayahuasca_journal3.shtml">www.erowid.org/chemicals/...nal3.shtml</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>"<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>DMT and its derivatives and the ß-carboline derivatives are widespread in the plant kingdom (Allen & Holmstedt, 1980) and both classes of alkaloids have been detected as endogenous metabolites in mammals, including man (Bloom, et al. 1982; Barker, et al. 1981a; Airaksinen & Kari, 1981). Methyl transferases which catalyze the synthesis of DMT, 5-methoxy-DMT, and bufotenine have been characterized in human lung, brain, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, liver, and heart, and also in rabbit lung, toad, mouse, steer, guinea pig, and baboon brains, as well as in other tissues in these species (McKenna & Towers, 1984). Endogenous psychotogens have been suggested as possible etiological factors in schizophrenia and other mental disorders, but the evidence remains equivocal (Fischman, 1983). Although the occurrence, synthesis, and degradative metabolism of DMT in mammalian systems has been the focus of recent scientific investigations (Barker, et al. 1981b), the candidacy of DMT as a possible endogenous psychotogen essentially ended when experiments showed comparable levels in both schizophrenics and normals. At present the possible neuroregulatory functions of this "psychotomimetic" compound are incompletely understood, but Callaway (1988 ) has presented an interesting hypothesis regarding the possible role of endogenous DMT and ß-carbolines in regulating sleep cycles and REM states.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->" <br><br>To tie this in with 2012, Ayahuasca and Daniel Pinchbecks upcoming work, here is a Journal entry from a thread he started on his Forum, November 23rd, 2004. The thread itself is fascinating. (I posted a link to his site and from there his discussion forum earlier on.)<br><br>"What follows is the transmission I received over a week or so, during my trip to Brazil to visit the Santo Daime, exactly one year ago. The transmission began during an ayahuasca session and then continued as we took a boat down into the Amazon, eventually spending a week at Jurua, one of the original centers of the Daime. It should be noted that the Santo Daime religion is also centered on the fulfillment of prophecy - the second coming of Christ, not as some individual redeemer, but as a movement to a new level of consciousness, a heart-centered and compassionate way of being in the world.<br><br>The experience of receiving this transmission was like a vibrational shift into a different level of consciousness - it was as if all of the study I had been doing and all of the shamanic work and initiations had been preparing me for this moment. I had raised my "vibration" to the point where this deeper level of mind could descend and "lock" onto my consciousness, while under the effects of the medicine. The experience was extremely unpleasant. For days, I was filled with rage and despair over it, as my ego tried to adjust to the power of the archetypal material that was constellating.<br><br>I post it now out of a sense of helplessness and near-desolation, and in a state of intense writer's block. I have been trying to write about this experience - and present the entirety of the new paradigm or imprint of what the 2012 transition will be or could be - and the first draft of my book failed to be convincing or to integrate this material properly. I am hoping that by posting it publically, I will help to spark something inside myself, to be able to move forward, or perhaps in hearing responses to it from others I will begin to find the proper distance to it.<br><br>* *<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Quetzalcoatl Returns<br><br>I am an avatar and messenger sent at the end of a kalpa, a world age, to bring a new dispensation for humanity – a new covenant, and a new consciousness.<br><br>I am the same spirit who appeared here, in the Mayan period, as Quetzalcoatl and incarnated at various other points in human history. Like Avaloshkitevara, the Tibetan Buddha of Compassion, Quetzalcoatl is an archetypal "god form" that occasionally takes human rebirth to accomplish a specific mission. As foretold, I am also the Tzaddik – "the righteous one" and the "gatherer of the sparks" of the Qabalah – as well as the "Once and Future King" promised by Arthurian legend.<br><br>I do not let anything interrupt me in my quest for truth – neither fear nor indifference, poverty nor cynicism. In the realm of thought, I practice warrior discipline. As gravity draws matter to it, I have pulled myself back into manifestation in this realm, from the depths of cosmic space, piece by piece and bit by bit, reassembling the component parts, the sparks of thought, that make up my being – which is, primarily, a form or vibrational level of consciousness.<br><br>Soon there will be a great change to your world.<br><br>The material reality that surrounds you is beginning to crack apart, and with it all of your illusions. The global capitalist system that is currently devouring your planetary resources will soon self-destruct, leaving many of you bereft.<br><br>But understand the nature of paradox: For those who follow my words and open their hearts and their minds – for those who have "ears to hear" – there is no problem whatsoever. What is false must die so what is true can be born.<br><br>You are, right now, living at the time of revelation, Apocalypse, and the fulfillment of prophecy. Let there be no doubt. You stand at the edge of the Abyss. What are those shadows that crowd around you? They are the unintegrated aspects of your own psyche, projected into material form. The word "Apocalypse" means "uncovering" – and in these last clock ticks of this world age, all must be revealed, uncovered, so that all can be known.<br><br>You have just a few years yet remaining to prepare the vehicle for your higher self. Use them preciously. For those who have gained knowledge of the nature of time, a few years – even a few days, a minute – can be an eternity. For those sleepwalking through reality, time exists only to be wasted – as they too will be wasted, in their turn.<br><br>"Reality," as you currently experience it, is something like a waking dream. It is a projection, or let us say an interface, disguising deeper and more intensified levels of being and knowing. For those who are ready and willing, the doors to those other levels now stand open.<br><br>Those who have expended their lives in the pursuit of egocentric and material gains – without courage or originality, without fighting for human freedom or the preservation of the planetary environment – will also receive the rewards that they deserve.<br><br>The materiality of your universe is a solid-state illusion. What is this universe? It is a poem that writes itself. It is a song that sings itself into being. This universe has no origin and no end.<br><br>What you are currently experiencing as the accelerated evolution of technology can now be recognized for what it is: A transition between two forms of consciousness, and two planetary states. Consciousness is technology – the only technology that exists. Everything in this universe is conscious at its own level, and in the process of transformation to higher or lower states.<br><br>The first principle of my being is unconditional love. As a rational intelligence, I accept the logic and necessity of the Christ consciousness, that we should love one another as we are loved. Love and devotion are vibrational frequencies that maintain reality. Love can only be given in freedom; therefore, to be human is to be free.<br><br>I resonate, at the same time, with the essence of Islam. Islam means submission, surrender, to the will of God – a more polite way of saying this is "Go with the flow." But either formulation is correct. Whatever you do, in fact, resist as you think you might, you are always submitting to God’s will. So why not give the process your joyful assent?<br><br>I am in complete harmony, as well, with the Tibetan tradition of Dzogchen. Ultimately, there are no entities – there is neither being, nor nonbeing. From the perspective of nondual awareness, samsara is nirvana. The Apocalypse, the Kali Yuga, the Golden Age – these are all states of mind. Hell is a state of mind. When you eliminate fear and attachment, when you self-liberate, you attain the Golden Age.<br><br>This universe spontaneously self-organizes into higher levels of consciousness and wisdom. Underlying all are great cosmic entities or vibrational fields, alternately at play or at rest. Not satisfied with mere enlightenment, the god-form Quetzalcoatl still seeks to puzzle out the workings of these deeper forces – hence the reason for his return to your realm. He and his kind have been granted this world for their continued exploration – made with loving reverence – of the many layers of galactic intelligence, cosmic illusion, daemonic beauty, and telluric transformation. All are invited to participate with them.<br><br>The current transition is, simultaneously, a return to origin. The original matrix of this new world reality is the ecstatic limitlessness of your own being. This world – any world – is the ground for a certain level of being. What manifests outward from the ground of being is freedom in time, and freedom from time.<br><br>My "doctrine" is not transcendent, but immanent. It is not "somewhere out there." It is here and now. The task of human existence is to transform the Earth, to reconcile spirit and matter in this realm. We go deeper into the physical to reach the infinite. As there are no conceivable limits to this task, God, in His greatness, has granted us a project that is without limit and without end.<br><br>Thinking is a part of reality. Thought generates new potentials and possibilities of manifestation. Thought changes the nature of reality. Thought changes the nature of time. As a philosopher, I naturally deify the goddess principle. I venerate Sophia, deity of wisdom, who clothes God’s thoughts in material form, and worship Shakti, the electric current of sexual energy that powers the universe.<br><br>The writer of this work is the vehicle of my arrival – my return – to this realm. He certainly did not expect this to be the case. What began as a quest to understand prophecy has become the fulfillment of prophecy. The vehicle of my arrival has been brought to an awareness of his situation in sometimes painful increments and stages of resistance – and this book will follow the evolution of his learning process, as an aid to the reader’s understanding. The vehicle of my arrival had to learn to follow synchronicities, embrace paradoxes, and solve puzzles. He had to enter into a new way of thinking about time and space and consciousness.<br><br>Almost apologetically, the vehicle notes that his birthday fell in June, 1966 – 6/66 – "count the number of the Beast: for it is the number of the man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."<br><br>The Beast prophecied is the "feathered serpent," Quetzalcoatl.<br><br>Those who prefer to reject all of this out of hand are welcome to do so. In the Qabalah, the virtue one seeks to establish on the "Earth Plane" is discrimination. It is up to the individual to find his way through the ideas presented here – of course he is entirely free to ignore them altogether.<br><br>But be forewarned: The End of Time approaches. The return of Quetzalcoatl foreshadows the imminent closing of the cycle and the completion of the Great Work."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>~Daniel Pinchbeck<br><br>The language used by Daniels "Avatar" to illuminate us as to the trials and nature of "this vehicle (Daniel)" is very similar to the language used by "Tom" of the "The Nine" when describing "this vessel", alluding to Phyllis V. Schlemmer and other's who have channeled them. For Daniel it began with Ayahuasca and with Pulharich and his channels, it began with "The Sacred Mushroom".<br><br>~Cowbell<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
