Ayahuasca, a psychoactive brew traditionally used in shamanic rituals, is known to evoke profound experiences involving spirits, mystical entities, and transformative states of consciousness. The brew's active compound, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), is notable for its dual nature as both an endogenous neurotransmitter and an exogenous psychedelic. This duality unsettles the boundary between what is natural to the human body and what is external, inviting a reconsideration of anthropocentric and biomedical assumptions. Furthermore, encounters with discarnate beings during ayahuasca journeys blur the lines between corporeality and incorporeality, suggesting that these entities—while phenomenologically real—defy categorization within traditional ontological frameworks. Ultimately, we argue that ayahuasca's spectral residues disrupt materialist understandings of reality, leaving traces that haunt these models and invite broader reflections on consciousness, interconnection, death, and metaphysical limits. By listening to these ghosts, both as conceptual provocations and as subjective experiences, we can challenge and expand our understanding of reality while embracing the transformative and scary possibilities ayahuasca presents.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":42514,"journal":{"name":"ANTHROPOLOGY OF CONSCIOUSNESS","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147649412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Outside, lying/sitting on the picnic table, in the pitch-black darkness of the night in the woods, under a few stars, he explained to us why we are still, always, in the Big Bang. He made noises of speed, gestured with his arms; his face was tender and laughing. He wanted us to understand; he used all his senses, smoking cigarette after cigarette.The picnic table we're sitting on was made in a “mental health” day center by the same people who made the bench that I sometimes hang around, inscribed: “Différant des autres”, which translate as “Differant from the others.” I don't believe, though I'm not certain, that the person who wrote it did so with reference to Derridean différance. But that's the idea that immediately struck me, like a door opening onto the possibilities that haunt the bench, those who made it, those who will sit on it, those who will ignore it, those who do ignore it. This sentence on a bench, which makes an unintentional reference to philosophy, suddenly reveals: power relations, diffractions, gaps, injustices, poetry, beauty, and the unalterable impossibility of sameness.Taking the form of a fragmented narrative, this article proposes an investigation into the atmospheres surrounding lived experiences with people who are said to “live with mental health disorders”, proceeding through literary-terrestrial back-and-forths between their breath and the rigidity of our capacity to receive them.","PeriodicalId":42514,"journal":{"name":"ANTHROPOLOGY OF CONSCIOUSNESS","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anoc.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147653362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on ethnographic traditions of studying magic, spirituality, and technological mediation, we argue that AI chatbot users occupy a liminal position analogous to shamanic intermediaries, navigating between mundane human experience and opaque digital realms of computational knowledge. The analysis examines how prompt engineering resembles ritual practice, requiring specialized techniques to communicate with entities that are simultaneously rational and mysterious. We explore how these interactions challenge conventional boundaries between human and non-human, and tool and entity, creating new forms of postmodern otherworldliness. The paper situates AI chatbots within anthropology's long-standing interest in how occult practices intersect with modernity and technology. Through this shamanic metaphor, we explore the entanglements of human–AI relationships, suggesting that chatbots generate new forms of postmodern otherworldliness. This framework offers a novel perspective on how individuals navigate and create meaning in increasingly digital environments, contributing to broader anthropological discussions on technology, modernity, and cognition, while also addressing the cultural and social implications of widespread AI adoption.","PeriodicalId":42514,"journal":{"name":"ANTHROPOLOGY OF CONSCIOUSNESS","volume":"36 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anoc.70011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145129125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
