If this doesn't drive you insane, because a spiritual guide is showing you how to ultilize your mind, for further communication with the world and spirits around you. That isn't insanity. That is proper training.
You need to ask yourself what is it that you are denying that allows you to think all of this stuff is crazy or just doesn't exist and is ultimately the product of the insane mind. It's not if you learn how to do it properly.
I confess to thinking that your consciousness is the only consciousness in this world, is wrong. That is a Neurosis.
But with proper training. Magic Exists, in profoundly subtle ways. This Ayahuasca training, is RIGOROUS, apparently the most complete one available to Westerners.
