In the 1980s anthropologist Jeremy Narby went to the Peruvian Amazon to investigate the plight of indigenous people.  Narby's experience with the Ashaninca Indians transformed his life, especially once he tried their powerful hallucinogen ayahuasca.  He says the experience forced him to question the reductionist, materialist paradigm of Western knowledge.
