In my experience with hallucinogens, I have concluded that at best they can only illuminate things that you know but have suppressed. Everything you see comes from within you, only potentiated by the substance. Remember that as you try to interpret your experience.
You've described experiencing revulsion and horror at yourself, your body, your human nature. This is a common theme in mythology, the first step in the initiation into greater understanding. This you seem to accept as coming from within. What else did you experience, though?

I could see what I else couldn't.. a real other world, shining town, 2 kings or something like that with swords - they seemed to be the guardians. [...] Other ayahuasca put in move some strange energy in my body which was very strong and pleasant, like rising currents and I felt it all day. At times it made me feel like I would faint or fly away.. With another I shifted into dragon, and you can also see that this world isn't that real as it seems, it's just one of millions of realities.
The potion didn't, and can't, change you—these things, too, come from within you.

Sorry I don't quite understand what you mean... I hear this first time. Iniciation into greater understanding? Of what?
I had actually another one after this, I'll write more about it tomorrow.
Slothrop: Yes that's what people usualy say about ayahuasca, that it brings up only what's in you. Sounds to me a bit like cliche btw. and don't know if the people themselves really understand it or only repeat what they heard somewhere. Nevertheless it is probably true, but in that case they would have to acknowledge also the teaching of mentalism, which says that the external world and our body is created by conscience, by thought, which was first. Not that conscience is product of the brain but the other way round (well explained in Hidden teaching beyond yoga from Paul Brunton).
