Daniel Pinchbeck and 'The Return of Quetzalcoatl'?

Question

I am quite familiar with the works of McKenna and I have recently discovered this author. Can anyone tell me how they feel about his work? On a social, psychological, and anthropological stance...

Answer 1

He was on the Colbert report a few weeks ago and so I took a look at his book in the bookstore. My interest is in the Mayan-Aztec aspect. It seemed like it was yet another book about hanging out with natives and doing drugs with them, which isn't interesting to me. If the experiences can't be replicated without the drugs (which aren't available in the US), then why bother reading/writing about it?
