As you will soon discover, Liquid Light is by no means your standard academic text. It does contain chapters that are crafted in overtly academic prose… Nonetheless, at other times, I switch the “voice” of my writing to reflect the perspective of someone who is immersed in the [Santo Daime] tradition itself, resulting in chapters that look and sound much more like a travelogue…than a traditional academic text.
—William Barnard, Liquid Light: Ayahuasca Spirituality and the Santo Daime Tradition

…I make no claims here to represent “the” Santo Daime [tradition]… I also make no claims that reading this book is, in any way, a substitute for just plunging in and drinking Daime [i.e., the sacramental Ayahuasca brew]… But Liquid Light can at least offer its readers a glimpse into just how magical and mysterious the universe is when we peer beneath the surface, and how dramatically most of us have underestimated our inner capacity to connect with, and learn about, previously hidden strata of our own consciousness.
