I found this book while looking for DMT related sites.
it's called " Spiritual Practice, Occultism, and Extraterrestrial Intelligence - A Travel Guide for Beyond the Rainbow"
explores the connection between spiritual practice and extraterrestrial intelligence in a historical context. It also dispels disinformation typical to this genre, particularly with regard to politics, conspiracy theories, and occultism. A unifying theme based on “The Wizard of Oz Mysteries” provides an exciting backdrop for the book as its parts correspond with the major events in that much loved story. Stylistically creative yet practical and empowering, this book is a unique, highly enjoyable tome that goes beyond the borders of previously published literature on this vast subject.
So uhm ok, that sounds familiar somehow.

The book was out in 2005 and has a few amazon review.
One review says
She gives an in-depth analysis of the principles of occultism, and even gives out a technique for individual practice so that the reader can experience firsthand the reality and effectiveness of this engaged spirituality. This preliminary material forms a strong foundation for what comes next - an overview of the evolution of the esoteric mystery traditions and how they're tied into the UFO/ET phenomena. Why this information is important and how it relates to the reader is thoroughly explored psychologically, sociologically, and spiritually.
An entire chapter is devoted to the workings of what she calls the "muddlers" -- a shadowy corporate/governmental oligarchy - how it maintains control and spins the wheel of disinformation and what we can do about it. She explains that they need not resort to conspiracy or secret societies to do this -- it's all done through mainstream politics and economics and she shows how.
Finally, she explores at length the little-known physiology of awareness and effects of music and how we can use this fascinating knowledge to heal and strengthen ourselves, leading to a better understanding of each other and meaningful extraterrestrial contact.Very down to earth, she excels in translating supportive scientific studies into layman's terms. Her main message is self-empowerment, that spiritual enlightenment is anchored in the heart - not the head, and ends the book on a compassionate and positive note.

It's where they mention DMT
The witch's hat represents the "cone of power" erected in magickal circles by practitioners in many spiritual traditions. It also has close ties with the vortex and a tiny structure in the brain called "the pineal gland." The pineal gland secrets a natural substance known as DMT that plays a role in dreams, psychosis, psychic ability, mysticism, and other forms of so-called transcendental or supersensory awareness. This section will explore these topics in depth starting with a comprehensive view of the witch's broomstick and the ruby red slippers. Discover and enjoy!

That explores the wizard of Oz esoteric "true" meanings, which goes back to the above mentionned book.
Another interesting fact, Judy Kennedy is/was (?) teaching classes at the IMU (

Jay Weidner had an alchemy class there.
And finally this, a legal action against the author of the book involving the MERU foundation, Steve Tenen (and a bit of Dan Winter)
This Legal Memorandum memorializes a personal experience of mine.
Stan Tenen and his organization, the Meru Foundation, have alleged that
some specific content published in my book is derived from Dan Winter's
alleged plagiarism of their work. This Memorandum was written in
response to their allegations. Bottom line is that their claims have no
merit. My work is not derived from their work or any alleged plagiarism of
that work. My right to publish the specific content in my book that they
find objectionable is clearly supported by prevailing law. In addition,
strong legal precedents from higher courts assure that (1) the injunction
obtained against Dan Winter does not apply to me or my publisher, and (2)
their stipulated judgment if reopened and reconsidered would be thrown out
because it is constitutionally invalid and statutorily unenforceable.

I though I would mention it for reference.
