The totality of reality is vast, beyond any intellectual comprehension that we could have. There is a very small segment of this totality that we can see and touch, which is a three-dimensional spatial reality, composed of length, breadth and width. It is the world we see around us that is sometimes called consensual reality. I’ve always found the term interesting, because another way of looking at it would be that it is the reality that we all consent to. We agree to it and therefore it is.

According to quantum physics the totality of everything exists in as many as twenty-six dimensions. If you look in a mirror you see a two-dimensional reflection of a three-dimensional world. Perhaps our three dimensions are only a reflection that is woven into a vast multi-dimensional universe that exists all around us.

The ayahuasca medicine has many healing properties, but one of its greatest virtues is the ability to expand one’s perception. The pineal or third eye is opened. Sensory perceptions are amplified. It is common for people participating in an ayahuasca ceremony to see beyond consensual reality with their eyes wide-open. You can see people dematerialize – seeing straight through their physical bodies.

Where it gets interesting is when the multi-dimension begins to bleed into normal reality. You see someone dematerialize and a camera can see it as well! This photograph shows the face of the shaman dematerializing during an ayahuasca ceremony. If you look closely you can even see what looks like a shift around where the shaman’s face would be normally seen; almost like you are looking at the torn edge of reality.
