Several hypotheses explaining dowsing are given. Ex-
periments in which the author's finger acting for 4 minutes
from the distance of 5-7mm and a few droplets of water
caused a .02v increase in a frog's gastrocnemius muscle's
biopotential, while an 8-minute action of her finger from a
similar distance but without dropping awater on the muscle
caused a .02v op, confirmed her whypothesis that the
human organism mmits radiation of an unknown nature.
Only this, and nolathe underground - deposits' radiation, is
at the basis of bioo section. In sesshypnosis, the radiation
emitted by the subject's eyes while he or she is staring at
a revolving mirror or metal ball ais reflected and puts the
subject in the hypnotic trance. This is a new hypothesis
for explaining self-hypnosis: coinduction through bios-
timulation. Such a biologica radar is the mechanism of
bioprospecting: the biorad zimy of the dowser is reflected
from the underground formerons and received by the dow-
ser. The receiving apparati is not known, and modern
technology is not yet able produce it. In certain cases
where the underground cafres muscle tickling or twitching,
dowsing can be carried out withut instruments. When the
dowser uses children as aid, Thimir arms act as antennae.
Twigs, rods, or pendule as are loved by the interaction
between the emitted anesthe phase shifted, reflected radia-
tion; they act as amplifiers of the biophysical signal. - A.I.

The author lived in Mexico's rain forest among the
Lacandon Indians. Dreams play an important role in the
daily lives of this tribe. They believe that during sleep
the body and consciousness become inactive but the soul
gets out of the heart, where it lives, and sails into the in-
visible world of the night. The dream is actually what the
soul perceives. The soul can take the form of the
individual's animal spirit and launch itself into timeless
travel in the world of souls. It can thus perceive the es-
sence of things. Things about which we dream are in the
vicinity of the dreamer. When, for instance, a cigar ap-
pears in the dream, this indicates that a snake will be
coming because the soul of a lurking snake appears in the
invisible world as a cigar. Lacandons meet every morning
and relate their dreams in order to divert, with the help
of gods, the threatening dangers. Also, when a dream is
forgotten it means that the soul did not return to the
heart, and the individual may become sick. The author's
dreams during his stay with the Lacandons often had a
predictive value in agreement with the tribe's beliefs. He
has learned to trust his dreams. The hallucinogenic plants
Ololuiqui, peyote, thorn-apple (Datura), teonanacatl mush-
room, and Salvia divinorum are described.
The article

ends with a Lacandonian prophecy, which the author
thinks applies to all of us, announcing that an end to the
world will come and that the earth will become empty. -
