I didn't have another opportunity for taking ayahuasca. Moises said the magical effects I'd experienced the first time were not to be sought for or missed. When I needed the bird, the drug would guide me, but when Isimply needed to become friendly with the jungle, the drug would guide me in a different way. I don't know if he was justifying the apparent lack of effect or telling the truth. I do know that for the next two weeks I rarely used my flashlight except for reading and that I could see, Without actually seeing, the dangers of the jungle when hunting or fishing. And now, months since I last took the drug, I wake sometimes and think I hear ceremonial chanting. And sometimes I realize I've been flying with my bird, seeing strange things clearly that Ishould have no knowledge of.
