There is a new book out called 'Psychedelic Information Theory' written by James Kent. You can view it free on the internet (also a free pdf). I want to acknowledge 'kedabra' for turning me on to it.

This book blew me away. It goes into detail about how our brains process hallucinogenic experiences through such terminology as non linear perception, fractals, and frame stacking. It also does a good job of describing how shamans operate during trip sessions. Kent is a bit of a skeptic. He doesn't believe that DMT elves are real, but he is open to some of DMT's mysteries like the idea of plant consciousness. He published a mag called 'Trip' where you can find alot of interesting links including his interview of T McKenna.
Kent might not be correct about all his ideas, but his descriptions of the physiology of the brain while under the effects of hallucinogens are worth reading.
