I don't see the significance, benefit or utility of calling nature or everything god... Ayahuasca or not. I've experienced the interconnectedness of all things with a mind full of psilocybin but I wouldn't call that god. God is the awe of the unknown... The awe of not being able to comprehend the largeness of the universe... or a tree.. or a single cell. I don't think of that as God or Gaia any more than I think of a the line of script in Comus that keeps the good thumbs near the top a God. It's just part of a complex system. I don't see god-as-everything as any different from having a tree god and a rock god and a rain god that you sacrifice a goat to so that your crop can grow. It depends on how you define it of course. Some people just call the system Gaia.. The same way you call a terminal of the interconnectedness of air travel an airport. Others feel there is some component of worship involved.
