What Readers Can Expect
Book One: The Pure Teaching: The Six Steps of the Universal Religion
Foundational and profound, this book presents a non-sectarian philosophy and disciplined path of transformation, unfolding through six universal disciplines: Accurate Knowledge, Self-Control, Concentration, Self-Investigation, Skillful Effort, and the devotional chanting of The Echoes of God Hymnal. Together, these practices form a complete process of purification—guiding the seeker from misidentification to conscious God Identification.
Book Two: Flowers on the Vine: Daily Reflections Along the Santo Daime Path
Organized around seven core principles and seven core practices, this collection of one hundred prose serves as a daily companion for disciplined contemplative practice through plant medicine work. Shaped by experience on the Santo Daime path, these reflections offer a structured framework for spiritual maturation.
Book Three: The Shanti Gita: Four Paths of Peace
A modern scripture of peace, this book presents a fourfold path—Silence, Compassion, Oneness, and the Eternal Source—organized in a study guide format with aphorisms, commentary, and contemplative practices. Designed for both individual reflection and group study, it invites readers to embody peace as daily reality: cultivating silence that steadies, compassion that heals, unity that includes, and an eternal source that sustains.
Book Four: Infinite Horizon: Daily Reflections on The Shanti Gita
A contemplative companion to The Shanti Gita: Four Paths of Peace, this volume extends its study into daily reflection and practice. Across one hundred brief prose meditations, readers are invited to translate the philosophy of peace into lived experience. Infinite Horizon transforms insight into daily action, guiding seekers to embody peace as the natural condition of awareness itself.
Book Five: Visions of the Cosmos: 108 Lessons on Rita
This book offers a structured, 108-lesson contemplative study of Rita, the ancient principle of cosmic balance. Drawing from the foundation of Accurate Knowledge, the first step in The Pure Teaching, it helps clarify perception and reveal the flow of order.
Each lesson explores one of twelve aspects—Truth, Light, Breath, Fire, Water, Earth, Time, Space, Motion, Balance, Compassion, and Peace—through focused daily reflection. This is a serious commitment, designed for readers ready to engage a sustained practice over time.
Visions of the Cosmos guides readers toward recognition that balance is not achieved but revealed to be constantly flowing. It is already present—waiting to be embraced.
Book Six: Plant Discipleship: Daily Invocations Along the Santo DAIME pATH
Plant Discipleship is a collection of eighty invocations designed for daily recitation and contemplation. Organized through eight progressive stages, the book traces a disciplined arc of learning—from recognition and commitment to mastery and transmission.
While mentorship within the Santo Daime Church unfolds between human teacher and student, plant discipleship begins with receiving the sacrament and learning to respond to its instruction.
For practitioners of entheogenic plant traditions and those engaged in contemplative life, Plant Discipleship invites readers at any level of experience into a reverential learning relationship with the Daime.
