Id like to make a point that is a non-drug induced abduction experience. It happened 'naturally'
Before I went to sleep I started
focusing my thought on the many possible metaphysical meanings of
"Walking on Water". After a while I smoothly shift down into the
hypnagogic state, letting colored patterns, words and images manifest. Then there came a point that was a break of my waking mind and I am
pulled into sleep for an unknown amount of time. At some point I slowly
become lucid to this fact that I am floating in the warm liquid haze of
slumerland. This bright clarity is used to observe this delicate
relationship of maintaining a conscious connection between two world. I take a good look around of what is happening.
There
is a conveyor belt of humans lined up one after another going on out
and beyond my comprehension into this tube like craft. I am standing in this line with this mass
of humanity moving forward on an automatic moving tread. Looking at these people they
are in a state of suspended animation and completely disfigured; Warts,
scabs, half melted and distorted features..... this causes a feeling of
apprehension in me about what is going to go down. I am usually aok with this
kind of out of body experience and don't really feel this. While my
focus is on the other people I notice that I am no longer moving along with them, I
can see where I am and now I am on the side of it all. I am in a large cylindrical tube with a swirling of energy
around the outside, the inside of this tube is pure alien technology;
glowing panels, wire, tubes, unknown to the waking world. There is a
massive sound of a phasing-metallic-engine and it is pure sound, vibrating
every inch of my being.
As I am taking note of my
surroundings I notice a being who job it is to harvest this sea of
human spirits. When I notice it, it comes over to me and speaks with no
tongue- only mind. Its manner is of emotional indifference, its purpose
is one of work, like a worker bee harvesting humans. Its thought is 'Here is one that is aware, must be put
back in the line'. I see its pure essence, it is one that does not
incarnate on the material realms, I am in its world. A thought entered into me that this
being was a splitting and doubling of my personal consciousness reflected back onto me. This being was inside my mind and knew my thoughts instantly. And it did not appreciate my denial of it existence. This entity did not even want to entertain this at all and communicated that I
had no authority to make such a high claim. I am just a human for some reason was not getting into the harvesting machine. A few more came close and they started to psychically scan my
body to see why I was not getting back into the human stream. Fear rose over me and at this
point a syringe appeared and was inserted it into the back of my leg. <<<POW>>>>
I get shot back into my body and I am lying in my bed again, I open my eyes and I am
tempted to get up and write about this. But I check my mind and know
that this experience is in an accessible part of my mind with complete
recall. So I am not worried that this will all disappear into unconscious thought. I am slightly annoyed that I was shot back into my body,
wondering why and decide to go back to where I just was. I focus on the outer most level of
that state, the tube with a spiral around it.... I am slowly re-absorbed into the
tube, then find the frequency of that metallic swooshing vibrational sound form. I dissolve
back out of the body.
I am greeted by these beings who are now
quite surprised about my reappearance. They stand blocking the door
asking "Who gives you this? Why are you here?" I open up completely and
ask the Cosmic-Christ to speak through my limited manifestation.This is a fail safe way to protect your self when under psychic distress, call upon your highest state that leads to the source. As I call upon the Christ, I see a beam of words flow from my innermost source, hovering in the back of my skull. This tube attaches to my memory banks of
stored language, past conversations and things I have spoken. Detached to this process I watch as reassembled phrases and sentences shoot out from this tube creating a new sentence and it unlocks
this hypercube puzzle. These guardians now moved aside and let me in, I
was then transported deeper into Peace that washed over every known thing. I maintained in this state for a while and then I slowly drifted into sleep.
The next morning I woke up with and extremely sore muscle where I was injected, Carly looked and saw no marks.

Id like to make a point that is a non-drug induced abduction experience. It happened 'naturally'
This was the evening of the Leonid Meteor Shower, and Carly, Natalie and Shawn were getting ready to go out of Baltimore city limits to a high hill to observe the heavenly light show. I declined the offer to go with them. I figured that this was a great chance to do some astral projection since so many people on this planet were focusing there consciousness to the heavens. Knowing that this is a great shower that comes every 33 years and on a new phase of the moon too! This world wide collective focus would make my journey a snap.
Getting comfortable on my bed a get ready, I start by tensing up my body, breathing in , holding and then exhale relaxing every muscle, doing this until I am in a very deep state. I keep this up until I hit the stage were visions and other stimulation start to flood in. I keep my focus upward to the sky, after a bit I notice that I am 'seeing' the ceiling with my eyes closed. I maintain the required delicate balance of will and openness, the will guiding me to in a particular direction the openness to keep clear on understanding the path. The ceiling starts to twinkle a little bit then it fades into the night sky, from there the stars are in full view. Going deeper the stars turn into UFO's, ships of sentient light. My body starts to vibrate and the ships shoot out light and create geometrical forms across my vision field. These patterns become detailed gaining color, shapes and more complex forms until they become a living construction so completely other worldly the best description is 'alien technology'. At this point I am still very aware that I am still present in my body but knowing this experience is 'just as real'.
A beam appears to left hand side of my mind, noticing it is skinny and traveling from my front side to the back, and its material is voices. Thousands upon thousands of voices going on and on, but staying in there place. In this sound beam tube. I hear Natalie and Shawns voice and focus on them, From this tube they both materialize and start walking over to my body. They reach down and wrap their arms around my waist holding on strongly, and pick me up. My awareness is of one of bilocation I am in my room and yet on a craft in the heavens. I am carried up out of my bed across the room and down the stairs. I take a step back in my awareness seeing this bilocation and experience multilocation. So now I am four and in this form I see see the actions of what has happened, by looking at this I see another beam of information, a time stream. I grab a hold of this time beam and move it, I watch the events jump forward, I move it again and everything goes backwards, zip it back and forth faster, stop it move it forward a little bit, etc. Its actually quite humorous kinda like watching Benny Hill, but when I feel this emotion I start to resonate with my body that is still lying down in my room (on earth).
So I shift gears to the top of my head, and my body is crazy buzzing from this shift and I focus back on the sound dimension of it. During the week I was really stumped creating my "Machine for Space and Time Travel". Part of this machine requires a sonic element that reinforce and/or create spatial confusion.......... This machine uses four audio channels placed around a person who is suspended in a spinning witches cradle. I was unclear if this sonic element should be a jumble of layered spoken cues "North, South, Up, Down, In, Out, etc" or a more musical element with a heavy speaker phasing..... So my focus has been on figuring out how to best use sound in this process.
Having these thought of creating this machine pulled me back out of my body and I was immersed in a world of sound. A shimmering waving multicolored total experience throughout my whole nervous system. I noticed that the strongest vibrational chunk-form was coming from the road outside. I hear what I assumed to be hundreds of years of horses pulling wagons down the road.Baltimore still has a handful horse drawn fruit and vegetable sellers. The sound is like 10 tapes loop of different lengths played on top of each other. Squeak, roll, scrape. Its quite dissonant, non-musical and completely comforting. Next to these deep indents in the time-field are thousands of small tiny zips. I feel as if I have found what I was looking for, a non-personal sonic element to put into my human system. I chill on this spot for a long time meditating between the worlds and fusing them together.
The next day I started recording these sounds.

November 17 , 2007
In 2007 Nautical Almanac played a show in Lima Peru, we spent a few weeks traveling through the Andes and headed down to the Bolivian Amazon basin. We spent the day swimming with the pink dolphins and a witnessed a strange omen in the sky. A clear cloudless day produced a rainbow that surrounded the sun. That evening we arranged to do a session with two ayahuasqueros. Below are my notes from the next day of what transpired:
After a 3 hour bumb n' cramp drive from the wetlands to the jungle river we drive back into town and are greeted by the person who arranged the ayahuasca ceremony, were tossed in a SUV and driven to a storefront...
"how are you?"
"were ok.."
"OK. have you eaten anything?"
"No...."
"You can pay us half now"
"Good. OK. Get in the SUV "
..... So we drive to the Beni river get on a long boat and float down to the jungle. We get to this mountain of wizzards place and are welcomed, no one is around except a few kids and the people who do jungle treks/extreme sport stuff for the tourists. Mellow scene, we rest from all the excitement earlier in the day.
"When it is time they will come get you"
We go and meet this freindly cat and rest for an hour wondering about what new strango situation we have gotten into (this eternal mess!, drug tourism!)
and evetually we are greeted by one of the ayahuasqueros and says that we are in for a treat, the man who trained him in the ways was in town, from Iquitos and wed be doing an ayahausca cerimony with both of them and no one else was there except us! The airport workers were on
strike and no one was in town. So we go to the ceremony hut and get situated... We get the the rundown of the ceremony, prepare to walk in the realm of the gods, your subconsious might fight it... best method is sit back and let go of the self and let the attachments play themselves out for you, we are in total darkness, purging is good... etc, etc etc. So were getting prepared and then he walks to the center of the room takes off his flip flop and smack! Kills a tarantula who has been observing us the whole time! I didnt notice it until it was over but Carly was watching it the whole time. Carly is shocked and lets out a gasp, the look of who the hell is this guy and what am i getting into runs across her face, he says he usaully picks them up lets them out side when hes by himself, but decided to kill it because he did not want to take chances. Weird, weird, spiders are our power friends and the thought of the metaphysical implications shot through my mind.
Eventually everything is all calm again and we all drink up. From what I heard it ayahuasca has the taste of death, but I actaully like the bile tinged acidic sweetness! yumm. We sit backdown, they are chain smoking and after a half an hour they singing.... amazing amazing amanzing.....such beautiful simple grounding chants that seem to weave between time and space. The only other instrument is a leave cluster shaken about, occasionaly in our faces. I am sitting back waiting for it to kick in, waiting.....ah yes the inbetween times when you question if a transition of consciousness is happening, do i feel differnet yet? hmmm. sorta.....wait that was something................... maaayyybeee..... then ZAP!
POW! The vine grabbed my head and slammed it into the void, and just as quick pulled me back into my respitory system which went into overdrive right away. My consciousness shifted straight into my heart and lungs filled up until they felt like they were going to explode! Then pulled my awareness down and dropped it to my stomach and ....... oh shit im going to puke it up. When i realized that and saw it, I completely let go and let the medicine do its work. I ain't purging just yet.
Things calmed down and then my body started to vibrate to a cluster of different than normal wavelengths. These physical feelings are not so uncommon to me, the floating waves are like what you can feel under hypnosis or before your drift away to sleep. My hands, feet and body started to distort beyond their fleshy exterior- becoming infinitely huge and tiny at the same time. After that my non material essence started to spin in a clockwise circle slowly lifting from my body shell, exiting the space dimension. I felt like a human corkscrew twisting and spinning, inside my body yet i managed to throw off the body. The singing was the perfect grounding focus, and the sound of the leaf bundle shaking was lifting me off the material plane shooting off in organic beauty. I left the world of time and space with my body and you entered into the VOID, were nothing and everything merge, the yin and yang swallowed each other and I bathed in the infinite darkness of light. This went of forever. I am still there.
Then all of a sudden I felt my spine and it started to tingle and I was quickly pulled right down into my body.... SMASH ! The chair i was sitting on exploded and I fell to the floor. This stopped singing and then we were offered more to drink since neither of us didnt puke, I was ready to go further and had another tasty cups worth. 2 cups put me in the perfect zone, Carly eventually downed 3 cups... typical, shes can be a hard head when it comes to this stuff!
One of the more interesting aspects was that the mind was clear when it wanted/needed to be, and that right away one knows this is not a drug, this is medicine. I felt this extra intelligence enter my body and it grabbed my awareness and scanned through my system. It was finding what is unbalanced, all sorts of mental, physical, emotional manifestations and you work with it to clear it out....Its a real strong teacher, helping you become who you really are but have just forgotten. The ayahuasquero had really powerful songs and it took me beyond the veil.
Eventually the cerimony ended after what seemed like lifetimes and we headed off to bed, at this point i noticed without the singing and the sitting sit meditation, I was fucked up! Insane wobbly legs and spiderwebs of light kept shooting off of everything straight into my eyes!! Just before we left the ayahuasca lodge Carly stands up walks outside and pukes! I lie down in bed after a LONG LONG day -24 hours no sleep, no food, swimming with dolphins, hours long bumpy car rides, drinking jungle juice and try to go to sleep. I put the puke bucket next to my bed. Up until this point i was able to let any internal resistance flow away and let the medicine work, but lying down my body started fighting that syrupy stuff and saying i want to sleep!! At this point my body started to twist up like a wet rag and I am in a state of slight struggle with my organism. Then the sound of the insects became a huge chaotic swirl, I focused on that and soon it morphed into one solid tone. This sound wave entered into my ears and then resonated my body, A tube from the jungle to the top of my head solidified and I saw a green praying mantis insect humaniod intelligence walking toward me and then it hovers over me looking for something to eat, poking its sharp long arm blades in my psychic body. Starts at the feet works its way all the way to the brain, looking and looking. Nothing. Then it goes up to my brain saying "There is always something here" Its poking and prodding, digging looking for something to eat.
"There is nothing here"
"I am hungry"
"I have nothing to give, my mind is blank do what you will"
Filling that bucket right up!!! Ha yes! I walk to the bathroom and dump the puke and shoot explosive diarrhea into the toilet. At this point post puke brain is releasing a bunch of great chemicals into the body and they mixed amazingly with the medicne and made me feel so so good, the best body comfort. I crashed and we woke up a few hour later to the amazing moring jungle sounds. We sat around in the morning talking. eating and laughing with last nights teachings and happenings still strongly resonating.
