I’ve read and heard pretty much everything from McKenna, I am pretty well educated on Buddhism and for example(what i mean by ‘navigation’) the book of the dead, these are supporting my experiences but are not enough. I got to places, well known places where others went, and have not yet returned(nor tried). I am planning a session on ‘returning’ but all i hear from Terence and others is that this has not been done(but it could be done after research on the topic). So my question is, anyone experienced returning to a place, how? Any literature on this from pref first hand explorers?I’ve been looking into kabbalah but that might take years and I’m not sure its the way to go..

Cant figure out how I forgot to mention this one as its one of my top books to read if you ever want to ‘trip hard’. This is about DXM but it has Some very similar points to a dmt or Any other kind of trip.
I've seen a few maps over the years , interesting but indicipherable to anyone other than the person who made them.. kabbalah is cool, and look for online gnostic and occult groups, there's a few good ones around.. ive questioned the possibility of anything like a ma being feasible because, well I...

Ernie, if you read (its pretty short) Carpenters book you Will see mapping IS possible in a way, the same Goes for ‘way of the shaman -Michael harner’ or the tibetan book of the dead etc. My guess was Kabbalah indeed was a strong one, my hope however was to find more Carpenter like books that specif...

I am writing a book of my own in this style; it Will finish when I studied enough(this day may never come) and therefore I hope to find others who really ‘studied’ this landscape and its features pref on numerous psychedelics and not just one kind.
It does seem to appear at this point that this is quite rare and maybe the ones doing this keep it for themselves, I have encountered warnings for sharing stuff and Carpenter for ex also leaves out stuff he was told to leave out...
maybe in this way it is for Some very important reason that we ‘may’ explain only up to a spec point and no further.
However, and I do get your point of this being a contradiction, a sort of basic mapping, practical guideline; in a form that is more abstract than other Maps we know, seems possible to me.
Ps I Will look into these visual models I am not quite sure why but I trust you have a point, occult groups you can recommend? Most I encounter seem to share a bunch of quotes but no more.. I do have Some books, but my library is overflowing, i’ll never sort out the Good from the bad by trial and error
