B I O

It was during my second trip to the jungle in Peru that 'The Mother',as the spirit of Ayahuasca,issometimes referred to, showed me a vision of the Earth.

As the globe slowly rotated on its axis, I saw a small point of light emanating from South America.

After growing in intensity, it began to stream out beams of lightthat traveled to different parts of the planet.

From those beams of light, other beams formed and traveled to other parts of the world,until the entire globe was covered in light.

She then gently whispered to me:

"This is how I'm going to change the world."
