Around March a book titled 'changa - die rauchbare evolution des ayahuasca' (change - the smokable evolution of ayahuasca) will be released from nachtschatten verlag: http://nachtschatten.ch/products/product_1483.htmlAs far as I know this is the first book dealing specifically with changa. Sadly only in German as far as I know. I am wondering if there will be some information in it that I don't already know from visiting the DMT Nexus... I even think that the title of his book was borrowed from an article from one the members here, Dorge.

I'd like to read that but sadly I do not speak German. So German members speaking good English - there will be some work for you  Or I have to learn another language  We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

Very interesting, seems almost surreal that a physical book is being published on this subject. I do not speak fluent German either, but with Dutch being my native language, I'm sure I can understand the majority of it. I will definitely pick it up, thanks for bringing this to my attention Edit: pre-ordered  "The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." - Albert Camus

That's pretty interesting and of course its only in german! :/ Regardless, interesting find, I've been doing some thinking about change as of the lately myself. And I am you and what I see is me.
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand
The best I can.

And books can survive being dropped in the bath - more or less... “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Are digital copies availablr for purchase? You may be able to get a digital copy & a program that reads for you & also translates into english. All you'd have to do is pop in some headphones & listen. Unfortunately i don't know if such a program exists.

Not quite, The man who invented changa wrote a book on it as well (among other topics). He is even a member of the nexus: https://www.dmt-nexus.me...spx?g=posts&m=582022But nice find OP, looking forward to it. I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Really?? How much information can a book on changa contain? Mix DMT with harmalas and a smoking mix of choice and blast off. Buy the book if you want but it seems pointless to me. Print off the Changa Wiki page if you must have a hard copy for the bath but its not a large enough subject to warrant a book. I may be wrong   Here you!!! Gonnaenodaethat

Maybe the author included a lot of really long trip reports?

90 pages in 10*15cm... It's not that much... I think there's enough to be said about changa to fill that white space. 2/5 of the book about dmt/maoi: plant sources, shamanic uses, effects... 1/5 about changa itself, effects, history, differences with other ROA... 1/5 about changa recipes, interactions with leaves to be enhanced1/5 about smoking technique and tools and trip reports. Something like that...  I'm with geeg here, everything is on our favorite website.

I find it a bit weird that the author didn't write to me regarding this book! There is coming soon a cultural history of DMT book, which includes quite some details about Changa, in which the author has extensively interviewed many people. And my book "Articulations" contains the article here which is a sticky, and another article about how Changa was developed. I also wrote a little about Changa in the book (apart from the two articles in the appendix), and I found myself repeating myself and covering the same territory repeatedly. (which is good in a sense to get the ideas through to people) http://www.articulationsbook.comI'm hoping to get "Articulations" published in German! :-)

Also, a lot of people don't agree that Changa is an evolution of Ayahuasca. http://www.ayahuasca.com...n-paradigm-of-ayahuasca/Dorge again didn't message me about a lot of stuff. (which I found weird) Most people I know consider Changa an evolution of DMT.
