The Autonomy of Beings

They came from different places. Different lives. Different wounds. But they had all been to the same room. And the beings they met there were waiting.

In a secret military facility, a pharmacologist synthesizes a molecule that could heal—or become the most devastating non-lethal weapon ever created. In an Oregon farmhouse, a former medic seeks a goddess who showed her a map of the future. In a prison cell, a man meets the Jesters who tell him fear is a cage. In a university lab, a researcher watches 94% of her subjects report encounters with autonomous beings—and wonders if the government has been lying about what they are.

Based on the real 94% entity encounter rate documented in clinical DMT studies, The Autonomy of Beings weaves together the stories of scientists, soldiers, whistleblowers, and seekers who discover that the molecule they are studying is not a hallucination—it is a door. And something is waiting on the other side.

As the United States moves to weaponize DMT, a network of underground healers risks everything to protect the plant medicine traditions that have existed for millennia. As the government raids their ceremonies and arrests their members, a whistleblower releases the evidence that will change everything. And as the world watches, one question emerges from the wreckage:

What if the beings are real?

From the corridors of power to the hidden rooms where people meet the Jesters, the Machine Elves, the Mantis beings, and the Divine Feminine, The Autonomy of Beings is a story of healing and harm, faith and science, and the door that has always been open—if we are willing to walk through.
