Abstract
The direction of this comunication is related to emergent spiritual phenomena on ayahuasca sessions in the Associação Espiritualista União do Vegetal, a schismatic udevista from Pernambuco state located in the city of Riacho das Almas. To this end, we will seek to understand how the participants are conected with the Superior Astral, considering the direct correlation between spirit and matter in a complementary and not reduced dualism, with a doctrinary referencial on principles of Master José Gabriel da Costa, founder of the União do Vegetal. The dialogues and interviews conducted with some followers allow us to grasp the manifestation of religious ecstasy, as well as the routes to be followed before the received information in Ayahuasca rites, knowed as a drink teacher that often test your pupils through contact with that spiritual reality.
