"direct contact" is using an adj to modify a noun immediately after. "directly" is an adverb and shouldn't be used to modify the noun "contact". An adjective form is preferred here. This eliminates choices A, C, and E.
The Quechuans believed that all things participated in both the material level and the mystical level of reality, and many individual Quechuans claimed to have contact with it directly with an ichana (dream) experience.
The "it" in choice B is incorrect because this sentence wants to talk about "both the material level AND the mystical level". The it only refers to one item and is not flexible.
"the latter" in choice D is correct because it refers to the compounded subject because the mystical level is basically a step up from the material level, just like a latter...? haha
