What Are Psychedelic Entities?

by Joanna Steinhardt

A subject that does deserve a lot more investigation ~ one that has been ignored because Materialism Atheism a priori dismisses all of it by handwaving it away as religious superstition.

On iboga, users have reported seeing their ancestors and other spirits. Ayahuasca, a South American psychoactive tea, is known for encounters with snakes and big cats, and spirits, good and bad. Pure DMT (dimethyltryptamine), ayahuasca’s psychoactive component, is known for conjuring elves, aliens and insect-like creatures. Psilocybin has been known to conjure tricksters, or a benevolent guide that is felt rather than seen.

My second Ayahuasca journey began with what looked like a bonsai-style tree up which a serpent twinned. I didn't think much of it until it pinned me directly with its gaze. At that point, I knew it was sentient, aware and intelligent. When it slithered directly into my mind, I immediately identified it as Mother Ayahuasca, whom I also received a clear sense from as being very familiar with me, as if she had been waiting for me to return.

I've many entities on Ayahuasca, some of whom my connection with has remained firm even after the Ayahuasca journey was over. It was like I had established a connection, so I was able to reach out in a sober state. This was rather weak at first ~ I got only vague impressions, very faint senses of energy, mostly in the form of voices and faint overlays of visual appearance in my mind's eyes which were overlaid onto reality, where I could see both them and the physical world at the same time, with neither blocking the other.

What these entities are... my best guess is that they are incarnate souls like we are. They appear to have forms like us, though of a non-physical nature. I can contrast this to what I can vaguely describe as angels, so to speak, lacking better terminology ~ disincarnate entities who are more spirit than form, being remarkably different from the astral entities in a sense I cannot really describe. They feel transcendent and very strange, even to the astral entities, who feel far closer to me in nature. They comment on how inscrutable the angels are.

I have also met almost... deity-like entities who feel even more transcendent, somehow, compared to the angels ~ they are also very intense, comparatively. Perhaps I could call them arch-angel, so to speak.

The one angel / arch-angel I recognize as belonging to a known religion is the Tibetan Buddhist deity Yamantaka / Vajrabhairava, whom described himself as one who burns away fear and pain in purifying flames ~ his power feels like burning flames because purification of fear and pain is itself a painful process that feels like burning, his teaching being of finding inner peace.
