Introduction
Raimundo Irineu Serra was born in Brazil in 1892 and migrated to the Western Amazon region in 1912 to work in the rubber tapping industry. He was introduced by local shamans in the 1920s to the brew Ayahuasca, an entheogenic tea from the vine Banisteriopsis Caapi and the leaf Psychotria Viridis. During a period of eight days in solitude in the forest he received visions of the Queen of the Wood, the ‘Rainha da Floresta’ which he recognized as the Virgin Mary. He received the instructions to start a spiritual doctrine, founded in 1930 as the ‘Santo Daime’. Irineu named the Ayahuasca ‘Daime’, which is Portuguese for ‘Give me’.
During rituals, that last several hours, the Daime is served to the participants. Rituals are performed in a hexagonal mandala structure, women on one side, men on the other. In the middle the musicians are seated. Some rituals are healing rituals, others concentration and meditation rituals, some are dancing rituals. The rituals take up to 14 hours.
The Santo Daime is an eclectic religion, mixing elements from Christianity with Brazilian, African and Indian spiritual traditions. The doctrine is transmitted through the singing of hymns; they posses guidelines to receive personal and first hand religious experiences. The following document is a report of these religious or spiritual experiences after my own ingestion of the Daime during a three year period. I wrote them down, as close to the experience as possible, even though most experiences are far beyond words.

It was in the spring of the year 2009 that I first met the Daime. I encountered the Daime with great respect and fear, and was happy to receive teachings from hyperspace during these three years—which I am about to share in this document.
I.
In that first moment, the Daime started working and I met a being who called himself Emmanuel. He was bright, with white clothes and with a radiance of love and kindness. He told me that, in order to enter hyperspace, I had to leave behind some emotions I carried along in the area of my diaphragm. He entered my body with his hands and removed all the emotions that were there, explaining to me that they didn’t belong to me. I had picked them up from someone else. Then he started explaining we were about to enter Hyperspace. More specifically, a place in Hyperspace that is filled with deep love. We waited at the threshold of this place. I looked around and saw more people, fellow travelers, waiting at the threshold. Emmanuel explained that in order to enter this place, one had to be able to receive the love present. Those that weren’t able to receive this love fully waited at an appropriate distance, and processed whatever personal feelings or trauma’s came up near this radiating love. After that, I entered Hyperspace for the first time with the help of the Daime, together with Emmanuel. I immediately felt at home; I understood that this was the place where I came from, before I was born. A deep recognition, a feeling of coming home touched my soul, my whole being. I was welcomed home by a lot of radiating beings.
II.
There were rooms within rooms. I sensed a place, organic like wood, moving like the sea, with an architecture like metal, radiating like the stars. I wasn’t able to enter deeper than this first portal, the hall in the beginning of this place. There I was, among other travelers, singing hymns for the source of being and love. This was a school and there was so much to learn. In absolute awe I looked around and looked at my fellow travelers present in this place. Some looked like reptiles, others more like angels. This first visit I could not penetrate Hyperspace any deeper.
III.
I was in the Salão, the Hall where the rituals are performed to enter Hyperspace. I opened my eyes and saw Hyperspace starting to emerge. The common reality started to fade, just a little, and at the same time hyperspace emerged out of imagination into reality. The common reality started to split, to ripple, while interfering with Hyperspace.
IV.
I entered Hyperspace and was in the company of a group of beings. I could not see them, yet I sensed their benevolent presence and could hear them speak. They explained to me how to perceive beings of a higher hierarchy. I was asked to imagine a little statue of Mary that belonged to my grandmother. It was a Mary with a blue mantle, a little Jesus in her arms, a snake below her feet and she stood on a Moon. They told me: create the image, but be sure not to confuse the image with the perception. This was told to me three times: do not confuse the image with the perception. Then they took away the image and I perceived a being, six meters tall—radiant with light and love. She was female in nature, a goddess. She had such a compassion that all pain, all tears, all sadness could flow to her and she would carry it, nourish the suffering, soften the pain. I watched in awe, amazed by her beauty. She was brilliant like the stars, overwhelmingly beautiful, fluid like the sea, complex like a fractal. I watched in awe and allowed my being to be filled with her light.
V.
I stood at the threshold of Hyperspace but was blown away by the light and love radiating from it. My mind was not stable enough to encounter the love radiating to me. I left the ritual because I had to vomit. When I sat down with a basket to catch my vomit, I told my helpers I was ready. I could not see the group of beings, but could sense their benevolent presence and hear their voices. They told me that freedom only comes in total awareness. They could cure me, but only when I was willing to hold my full consciousness during the process. Inside my body was a demon. He was hiding from the light. They forced the light through me, my diaphragm started to contract and the light went through. This way images from my childhood started coming up. I was afraid to feel and see, because I was afraid when the situation happened. The beings helped me to stay aware and stay conscious during the time the images came up. Every time my diaphragm contracted, the images came up, the light and consciousness flowed through my body until the darkness left my body. I saw the demons leave through my mouth, fleeing from the light, going back to where they came from.

VI.
Emmanuel told me that I was ready to receive a lesson he was not able to give. So he introduced me to another being. I was afraid to trust this new being, so I asked him how could I know if he was trustworthy. He showed me his heart, on which were tattooed signs. The signs on his heart told me that he devoted his life to the intention of love. So I decided he was trustworthy. He was big, almost 3 meters, made of stars, angelic. The Angel took me with him. We travelled to 1500 AD where we entered a scene in which I was being hanged. I recognized myself, hanging there. The Angel told me that this incarnation of me had not processed his death properly. All we had to do was to bring more light to the process. So the Angel and I came near. I told my 1500 AD incarnation ‘I am you!’ Yet he did not seem to understand me. I decided not to try to explain the situation, but to just do what the Angel told me to do. So I brought more light into the situation. This whole moment of death was filled with a feeling of resentment about speaking out in public about my esoteric knowledge. That was the main reason they decided to imprison and hang me. After some time, the incarnation realised his knowledge was not lost, but could be transmitted to a new incarnation. At that exact moment, I gained access to the memory of this incarnation in 1500 AD. I saw the wife and kids I had, I could see the table on which the books I studied were stacked, I remembered parts of the knowledge I had studied and understood. I had always searched for this knowledge during my present incarnation.
VII.
I entered Hyperspace and there were a group of beings. I could not see them, yet I sensed their benevolent presence and could hear them speak. They told me they wanted to show me something. I went along with them and they showed me an explosion. It was so intense—an explosion of light and creativity. It radiated throughout the Universe. They told me I was witnessing the beginning of the Universe. Beautiful! Full of awe, I watched. What a beauty, what a power, what a tremendous radiance. How beautiful to witness. Then they told me, there was a secret they wanted to share with me. They said ‘You are That’. I could not believe what they said, yet they kept affirming ‘You are That’. In fact, every one of us is That.
VIII.
I entered Hyperspace and I entered a time zone around 1500 AD. I started walking around, I saw horse wagons, the stones on the streets, people walking, heard the sounds, smelled the odors, yet it seemed as if nobody was able to see me. I walked around until I finally met someone with the ability to see me. We tried to communicate and after a short time we managed to transmit images directly between our souls. I wondered why he was the only person who could see me. The other explained that he was imprisoned for some three days in solitude, so for him to see travellers like me came as no surprise. He told me he was a seal-maker. I wondered how anyone could make a living by making seals. He wondered how a society could exist without seals. Then I understood that our society is full of seals, yet we don’t make them material anymore. Our conversation with a close friend is sealed. Our relations are sealed. Our job is sealed. We know that they are sealed when we break the seals, by telling someone else the details of the conversation, by breaking up a relationship or by quitting our job. The contents that are set free when we do these things are what was stored in the seal. Our society is filled with seals, but spiritual and social seals. The Seal-maker showed me how he used esoteric symbolism to create a seal and define what content had to be set free when the seal would be broken.
IX.
I entered Hyperspace and was shown the vision of the passage of the Revelation of John (chapter 6), where a book with seven seals is opened by Christ. Every time a seal is opened a horse appears with a rider on it, bringing war, natural disaster and plagues to the earth. But now, this was no longer an abstract story; I could see the seals, feel the seals. I saw the seals as collective seals, as part of our collective human consciousness. They were there, in front of me, and I was witnessing Christ who was breaking these seals. I was able to see the collective human consciousness as a whole, as a Being, with the seals being part of that, like a collective belief or intention. I saw how Christ which I perceived as a condensed Light indeed had the Light, the force, to break these seals. I saw the world tremble under what revealed itself when they where broken, not only through its physical consequences but even more in how they entered, changed, transformed our consciousness collectively.
X.
I entered Hyperspace and perceived this deep fear inside my body. A fear, so deep, touching the very root of life. I stayed in this fear for a long time without being able to witness it. The fear just took over, my whole being trembling in shock. This state stayed, unresolved, during some visits to Hyperspace, surfacing from time to time. At a certain moment I witnessed my own birth. I perceived the fear of the doctor, afraid that I would die. I perceived my own little body, wanting to live, yet afraid of all the sounds and violent medical interventions. My body started shaking, receiving the flow of life, shivering. I wanted to live, yet feared to die.
XI.
I entered Hyperspace and met a beautiful being, made of light. It was an angel, inviting me to come along with him. We stood at the threshold of a world made of light and love. He invited me to pass the threshold, so I did. It was beautiful, yet after some time I lost the vision. Then I saw the angel again, inviting me to enter this world. Somehow it was not so easy to stay there, yet the angel kept on inviting me every time I lost the vision.
XII.
I entered Hyperspace and was transported to the moment of Jesus’s death. I was not able to come so close that I was able to see the actual event, yet I knew that he was dying at that moment. I sensed the cultural, social, and spiritual atmosphere and allowed this moment to touch my soul.
XIII.
I entered Hyperspace and there was a being that encouraged me to practice using death as a perspective. Death is a perspective, a pair of glasses through which we can look at the world around us. How do we look at our partner, our work, our daily life when we use our own death as a perspective. Death is what stimulates us to live, to feel what is right, to know if what we are doing is worth the time.
XIV.
I entered Hyperspace and there was a benevolent being I could not see. He showed me a place inside myself and told me this was my inner temple. I started realizing how big this inner place was. The being gave me an exercise. He told me to paint my inner space. He encouraged me to use the brightest and lightest color I could imagine. I imagined a color, bright and light. He encouraged me to imagine an even brighter and lighter color. This went on for some time, until the color I imagined was brighter than the sun. A white, brilliant light. He explained to me that I actually took some willpower to make an imaginable color as bright as this, yet it was part of the practice to take the time to achieve this brilliance. Then I started to paint my inner space. It was beautiful, everywhere I painted the light radiated through my inner space until everything inside was bright, brilliant and radiant.
XV.
I entered Hyperspace and I met a group of beings. They told me there were six of them and that by combining their consciousness they achieved their present state. They were organized in a hexagonal structure of consciousness and through maintaining this hexagonal structure they could achieve extreme intense and exalted states of consciousness. They were located at the planet we know as Saturn. They transmitted their knowledge to me in a way I cannot describe in words. Their image, the six of them in their hexagonal structure, concentrating their consciousness in order to achieve a state they could not reach on their own stayed with me for a long time. After the ritual ended, I woke up during several nights, receiving input from this hexagonal structure. They were present with their amazing consciousness, transmitting teaching at all time. It was more like a frequency than actual content. A frequency about transcending personal consciousness in order to reach this higher state. Some days after the ritual I searched on google to find out more about the combination ‘hexagon saturn’. It turned out that there actually existed a hexagonal cloud structure on the north pole of Saturn, each side approximately 14,000 kilometres long. The origin of the pattern is, according to the current science, a ‘matter of speculation’.
XVI.
I entered Hyperspace and met a group of beings which where referred to as ‘the twelve’. They are a group of 12 beings, balancing each others force, much like the hexagonal beings on Saturn. Yet, these twelve created the field in which the whole Universe, the whole Cosmos, could exist. They create a field, a balanced field in which they offer their personal existence in order to create the conditions for the Universe to evolve.
XVII.
I entered Hyperspace and the Archangel Michael started talking to me. At first I could not believe he would talk to me. Who was I that the Archangel Michael would free up some time to talk to? Then I realized that Michael would not have a time schedule in which he planned appointments with beings to converse with. I started to perceive the Archangel Michael more as a frequency to which we are able to log into. I desired to see how he looked but he said that looking at him would distract my attention from the teaching he had to offer. Yet I insisted if I could see him, if only for a moment. So he showed himself and I was struck by his brilliance. He was tall, imposing and looked like he was made of stars. He radiated like he had wings, yet wings are too substantial to describe his appearance. I looked in awe and realized that he was right about the distraction, so I went on to just hear what he had to say. For over an hour we talked about events in my life. I looked into his eyes and sensed his presence and he brought a clear and steady consciousness to everything that was going on in my life.

XVIII.
I entered Hyperspace and I saw the Archangel Michael healing the group of travellers I was in. He had a sword, yet this sword was not made of metal but out of pure truth and light. With this sword of truth he radiated the frequency of truth through the room, so deep and intense that all the travellers knew they had to face the truth about themselves and the world. The frequency was like a beam of sunlight, radiating and warming up damp clothes. Everything that was touched by this frequency, and was a lie, began to dissolve and leave this place.
Part Two · Light
Sou Luz, dou Luz
E faço tudo iluminar
I am Light, I give Light
And illuminate everything
Padrinho Sebastião, O Justiceiro, Sou Luz hymn 100
E faço tudo iluminar
I am Light, I give Light

XIX.
I entered Hyperspace and passed a threshold, beyond which there was only light. A gigantic source of light, bright and radiating. I stopped and gazed in absolute awe. The light was radiating, moving, flowing. It was everywhere and the source of all light. My mind stood still. When my mind moved, the movement reflected in the light and created millions of ripples in the light. Then I entered again a state of stillness. I watched and watched in pure awe. The light was beautiful. It included everything. It knew everything. At that moment I thought ‘God is Light, God is Light’.
XX.
I entered Hyperspace and received a vision about the connection between the eyes and the soul. We can see in each other the potential present deep inside. When I was very young, someone looked at me and I saw reflected in his eyes my potential force. We do this all the time when we look at each other. Through the light in the eyes we transmit to the other the potential we see, for better or worst. This information is transmitted literally in the blink of an eye. For someone to see the deep potential reflected in the eyes of the other can be a lifelong orientation and support.
XXI.
I entered Hyperspace and saw the brilliant light. After some time I saw the light explode and clouds of light wrapped itself around my body—clothing me in light. The light exploded several times, every explosion adding another layer to my emerging light-body.
XXII.
I was amazed by several things happening during the ritual. At some point I said to myself ‘This can not be, laws of nature are being violated.’ Some beings started making jokes with me: Who are you going to sue, now that the laws of nature are being violated? They continued laughing and after some time I began to see the humor of it all. I began to realize how preposterous the whole notion of unbreakable laws of nature was and that there is no court for such cases. The only thing shattered was my image of the world.
XXIII.
I entered Hyperspace and realized that every time I do, I feel like I’m coming home. At the same time, there is this realization: I have totally forgotten this place. Even since the last work, I totally forgot how this place feels, looks. And at the same moment, this feels so deeply like my home, as my true home. But how come I always forget this place? How can something so weird at the same time be so familiar?
XXIV.
Emmanuel accompanied me to Hyperspace and showed me hierarchies within hierarchies of beings. All devoted to healing the travelers present at that moment. I saw how there were personal guides for some travelers, helping them with their personal issues. I saw greater beings, lighter, with a more transpersonal kind of work. They gathered themes for healing among the travelers and healed these themes in a more archetypal way. There were volunteers, sharing their consciousness in the process of carrying these archetypical traumas. I saw someone being murdered. Someone along the fellow travelers carried this trauma of seeing someone murdered in his soul, so we just witnessed the event and carried it in pure consciousness. The blood dripping, the suffering in the soul. This is what human beings do to each other. By witnessing it, carrying the event in our consciousness, we can heal it, bringing light where darkness lives.
XXV.
While entering Hyperspace, time starts to slow down. The sense with which I perceive time begins to perceive that time isn’t flowing as it used to. It slows down, then it stops. I thought, ‘I just fell off the calendar’. Hyperspace seems to be a timeless realm in which everything is present. When leaving Hyperspace, the sense with which I perceive time slowly begins to work again. Yet, for a period of time it seemed to be running backwards before my sense of time became normal again.
XXVI.
I entered Hyperspace and benevolent beings explained to me what happened when I use acupuncture. I saw a body and it was made of light. At the moment I entered an acupuncture needle the light moved. The body was transparent and the light moved like the water of the sea. At another occasion they explained to me how I could heal someone by tapping a point with my finger and listening to the song that would emit from the point. By singing the song I would feel emerging, while tapping the point on the body, the person would heal.
XXVII.
I was in the Salão and watched the structure of our ritual. The travelers are structured in a hexagonal pattern, in the middle there is a table with a double cross and flowers. I saw how we created a collective consciousness by staying together in this structure. It was as if in the empty space in the middle a seventh aspect, the sum of our collective consciousness and intentions, arose. I perceived this seventh aspect as a radiating light, a pillar of light, vibrating and radiating. I noticed the resemblance with the Hexagonal Consciousness on Saturn.
XXVIII.
I was in the Salão and opened my eyes. I saw my fellow travelers and they were shape-shifting. Some travelers looked like angels, radiating light. One traveler was a lizard, someone else looked like a Nazi. Some were reptiles, others were space travelers. A being explained to me that we all exist in multiple dimensions at the same time, yet in common reality we are normally tuned in to just one appearance.
XXIX.
I entered Hyperspace and met benevolent beings that started to teach me about sexuality. They showed me that when two people embrace each other, their energetic systems could become totally open. The one person could possess the ability to be totally open in the belly, for example, while the other might be totally open in the throat, meaning that they would be free and unblocked in that area, physically as well as psychologically. When they would embrace in a sexual way, their energetic systems would become one, transmitting the free and open state of a part of the body and soul to the other. In some way, the information about how to be open in that area, the state of being open and free, is directly transmitted in the embrace. When the lovers separate again, after their encounter, they would have to process the openness that they received in their body and soul. This is the cause, they showed me, of a lot of emotional struggle in relationships: we received the gift of being open in a certain area of our body, soul and spirit after which we would have to process this openness. We have to allow ourselves to be touched, to become conscious again as to why we once decided to block these areas. This transmitting of energetic openness is also a part of how and what we can learn in a sexual relationship.
XXX.
I entered Hyperspace and asked a question about a situation in my life. The beings I met told me they first had something more important to share. So I listened. They showed me how life exists, dimension in dimension, hierarchy in hierarchy, system within system. At a smaller level something can seem to be evil. Yet, there is a higher level, a higher hierarchy or system in which the situation is embedded. In this higher system the situation finds meaning and fits into the scheme of the Universe. Everything that seemed evil turns out to be part of this bigger scheme where it turns out to be a good cause. Nothing can escape this. Everything is good, ultimately. It is just a matter of expanding our consciousness. I rested in the feeling that everything is all right; there are no mistakes. After that the question I had asked when entering Hyperspace lost meaning and turned out to be answered by this deeper lesson.
Part Three · Darkness
XXXI.
I entered Hyperspace and saw demons. Their skin was hard like a shell. They were dark, opaque. They were interested in the angry emotions someone in my social life felt towards me and fed on those emotions. Now they came after me, either trying to scare me, or maybe searching for angry or dark emotions on my part. I was afraid. There were angelic beings, white and transparent. They explained to me how these demons connect to the emotions of humans. They instructed me how to encounter them without fear. First I had to connect deeply to the experience of the living light at the center of the Universe—the radiating source of love. I could feel this source, I saw it radiating light. Then they instructed me to make my heart a mirror, reflecting this love, this source of light. With this reflection in my heart I encountered the demons. My soul, my heart radiated love and light. The demons were not able to come closer and went away.
Entrei numa batalha

I entered in the Battle
Saw my people discouraged
We have to overcome
with the power of God

XXXII.
I was in the Salão and during the work the weather started to become stormy. Wind blew violently against the building. Rain lashed against the windows. I perceived the weather as a conscious being, resonating on the battle going on in our souls. Inside and outside merged in a continuum, reflecting each other.
XXXIII.
I was in the Salão and opened my eyes. I saw the Evil attack a fellow traveler and attempted to disturb the ritual. The traveler vomited and stumbled. Another traveler started to shout, he was angry. I was afraid and did not know where to find peace now that we were being attacked. Everyone kept on singing hymns, which was probably the best thing I could have done, as well. After the ritual I felt like I missed the incarnation in my body due to this fear. Like I walked half a meter next to my body.
XXXIV.
I entered Hyperspace and stayed connected to the consciousness of my fellow travelers in the Salão. To me it was obvious that the whole group was struggling in an intense spiritual battle. Everyone had to work hard to maintain a connection with the Light, the center of the Salão. A being present explained to me that the spiritual battle of mankind can be condensed, reflected, for a short moment, in a smaller group. He told me that because we transcended space and time, we entered this nonlocal human process of balancing Dark and Light—Good and Evil. Our group was, for a moment, a representation of this larger process.
XXXV.
I entered Hyperspace and met a group of benevolent beings. They told me they wanted to show me what a psychosis looked like. They wanted me to know this, because it could help me to better understand people going through psychotic episodes. They told me to let them guide me and not to panic, like a guide preparing me for a trip through a jungle with potential dangerous animals. We entered something that looked like a maze. It was a place, made of thought constructs. They explained to me that our thoughts, our concepts, our ideas become something like a building. Yet this building had loopholes in it. It had grown into a maze, where one could walk in circles forever. I could deeply feel how frightening and trapped someone would feel if they would have lost their way out. At the same time I was very happy with my guides and felt safe with there presence, guiding me through this experience.
XXXVI.
I entered Hyperspace and was witnessing some awesome colors and patterns. Then some fellow traveler started vomiting during the silence. Instead of disturbing my vision, the sound of vomiting transformed into colors and splattered like Day-Glo colors through my vision—merging and transforming into my vision. The harmony I perceived refused to be disturbed and incorporated the sounds like a perfect creative impulse.
XXXVII.
After several occasions where I met the Source of All Light I started to realize that this source could be given a face if we desired to do so: the face of Christ or maybe Buddha, depending on our preferences. During the works I experimented with imaginations I consciously constructed of the face of Christ. At a certain moment I was at home, the day after a long 10 hour work on White Thursday. I started to feel tense, energized and restless when I decided to sit and meditate on the feeling. A bright light started to emerge from inside—overwhelmingly bright. I felt the resurrection of Christ was an inner experience, happening inside my soul.
XXXVIII.
I was in the Salão during the Santa Missa for the deceased. My vision started to see through the floor. I could see the dead souls not at rest, moving through the earth, attracted to light we emitted. At another occasion I saw a lot of deceased people, just standing along the walls, listening to the hymns we were singing.
XXXIX.
I entered Hyperspace and I met my first son that died before he was born. He was a radiation of light, sparkling through space. There was no form, just consciousness and identity. Bubbles of joy sparkled through the air while we encountered. My two other children that are alive entered the scene in Hyperspace and connected with our joy.
XL.
I was in the Salão and we were served Mel. This is a type of Daime that has been boiled for a much longer period of time than regular Daime. Due to this extended boiling, the brew becomes much thicker and might taste a bit sweet (that’s also the reason it is called Mel, which means honey in Portuguese) but it also contains a multiple of the normal amount of psychoactive substances and its effect is usually much stronger and longer lasting. They serve a third of the normal dose, yet it is still absurdly strong. After ingestion, the effects started to take of. Imagine the strongest you could take before going insane and then go far, far beyond that line. I actually worried about my sanity at that moment, because I understood I saw reality as-it-is. Yet this is so far beyond our cultural accepteble paradigms of reality that I worried whether or not I would ever be able to function in our society again. This insight, the truth as-it-is, is unbearable. I saw the blueprints of reality and our unimaginable power as cocreators with and within these blueprints. Everything had meaning, everything was a meaningful part of this collective dream, the smallest movement was a meaningful part of this cosmic harmony. I saw it and I couldn't deny it. I understood it’s clear and undeniable truth. That was the most disturbing of it all. The gap between me and society became so big for an eternal moment. Luckily, I made a safe and strong touchdown, open, sensitive and aware, with a lot of fear purged. The aftereffects were really good. I felt safe and secure, even though I started to feel like a true civilian of both realms.
XLI.
I was in the Salão and we were served Mel. Just after we started to sing the hymns of O Cruzeirinho, which we always sing standing, the fellow traveler next to me sat down. He started to look pale and greenish and passed out. I supported his body, so he would not fall to the ground. Then I thought ‘he is dying’ and I witnessed his soul travel out of his body. I wasn't afraid he wouldn't come back, so we just kept on singing. After some moments he started vomiting all over himself and with an abrupt shock entered his body again and opened his eyes. When the work ended I asked him what happened and he said: I died.
XLII.
A being showed me how we construct our own reality, throughout the days. We all live in some frequency or another and pass the threshold between these frequencies during our life. The being showed me how to sing with my children and radiate light. We did so and enjoyed the singing and the sun shining—inside and outside.
XLIII.
I entered Hyperspace and there were benevolent beings I could not see. They told me I could come for a nice ride when I wanted to. So I went along and visited our solar system. How beautiful the stars around, how beautiful the planets. The planets lived, they actually radiated consciousness. I flew through our solar system, in full bliss—pure joy—amazed by this beautiful creation.
XLIV.
I was in the Salão and opened my eyes. I perceived a field of knowledge. It was beautiful and I watched in complete awe. The field contained all the knowledge humankind ever thought of and it was stored in this field like light waves radiating through space. Common reality was still in place, yet this field started to shimmer through common reality.

XLV.
I entered Hyperspace and there were benevolent beings I could not see. They showed me my own DNA, constantly sequencing information at all times. A marvelous view, how these strings of information continuously coded and decoded information into strings of molecules. A constant stream of communication between my DNA and the living cell. How awesome life can be when one really sees.
XLVI.
I entered Hyperspace and met a being called Juramidam. He, or maybe a she, was beautiful—radiant with love. Juramidam is connected to the group of travelers entering hyperspace with the force of the Daime. He stayed above the group of travelers, nourishing the group with his intentions to evolve towards more light—more consciousness.
XLVII.
I entered Hyperspace and met a radiant being. He invited me to follow him and we entered a tunnel under the earth. It was filled with crystals, reflecting light. The system of tunnels was huge and we travelled a long way, just observing in awe at the marvel of these crystals.
XLVIII.
I was in the Salão and was seated just behind a fellow traveler. When I looked over my shoulder I saw this traveler walk around while simultaneously sitting right in front of me in complete stillness. He appeared at two places at the same moment. After the ritual I told him I had seen him at two places in the same moment. He replied: Yes, I was in quantum superposition.
XLIX.
I opened my eyes after the ritual ended. I saw every movement, every sound, moving through the space in absolute oneness. It was as if every movement was part of a big harmony, an orchestra of tuned movements. Someone moved his hand, what looked like a ripple in a continuüm and this movement was completed by someone else moving his head, someone else laughing. It appeared like frequencies resonating through the room in an absolute in-tune harmony in which not even the smallest shiver could escape this being-part-of-the-whole.
