I was really interested in buying and watching the wqhole DVD, then when I went to order it I was met by a prompt that said I could not pay for it with my Visa card because I am in Australia and that I need a USA credit card - what a bunch of crap. Oh well, sorry to the proucers and everyone involved in this documentary but I'm going to download the torrent for free now - your own fault really.

[8Recon8]

the video is fantastic and transformative. everyone should order it

[vineofthesoulfilm]

@8Recon8 Thank you for your kind words and enthusiasm for the film! Much appreciated. RM

I think if you order the DVD you should automatically be entitled to a download. I want to purchase a download but there is too much on the DVD I want as well, problem is it's SD,

Can't Win!

These ceremonies are "lost" on most white people. They suffer from the affliction of multiplying words. The sacredness is completely diminished when one is whispering about the experience during and after the ceremony! Just shut the f*ck up and allow the lesson to permeate your psyche for at least a month before you decide to chatter about it! It's sickening to watch vid's where ceremonies are trivialized because people in their ignorance become either zealous or "experts" on ayahuasca!

[jvaish]

@aboriginiblues It's a process, and people have to find out things in their own way. If you are sickened by it, it only means you are attached to the way things "should" be. And, as we all know, there is no "should." It's like complaining about not being able to meditate because it's not quiet enough.

[Valisopticus]

@aboriginiblues

Ummm...yea thats why shamans all over the place literally will sing almost the entire ceremony. And if for some reason you consider that "sacred" and acceptable, but talking unacceptable, then you are deluding yourself. Your swallowing your own misinterpretation of another culture and saying it is the only way to take a plant that is for the earth.

[Valisopticus]

@aboriginiblues

The way they do the ceremonies in the amazon is amazing, don't get me wrong, but that is THEIR way, and it actually varies heavily between each tribe/shaman..some even chew coca leaf or drink alcohol with aya. And many of the shamans will talk with people during it. And its perfectly fine to talk about it afterwards! I asked mama aya, she is ok with it ;)

[Lunartrek]

@aboriginiblues I don't think you are looking at it from the proper perspective. Those raised in environments where such practices are a way of life no doubt experience it calmly and naturally, but for those entering from a society that has cut them off from true spiritual practices, I see them as vibrant children eager to tell others this new knowledge they have gained. It is innocent enough and no fault to behold. Ease up on the harsh judgments. It's all ego anyway. :-)

Recently I've been skeptical of the "insight" people get from psychedelics. Insight that you can retain.

[SpaceWalkTraveller]

Watched the video and it was fairly good. I brought the download and the extras only come with the actual purchase of the video, wish I could have brought the extras also. It is worth watching if you are interested in ayahuasca.

[niteshadeath]

You don't know shit.  Hahahhahaha love it!

[bigpappabear69]

whats the other tree do they use

[fanguk2]

Ordered the dvd a couple of weeks back, can't wait!

[vineofthesoulfilm]

@fanguk2 Thank you for your order and support of the film! I think you'll enjoy it.

Let me know please if there is any delay in arrival of the DVD.

[fanguk2]

@vineofthesoulfilm Thank you, I will do - I'm very much looking forward to it and hoping it drops on my mat any day now :)

[fanguk2]

@vineofthesoulfilm Hi there, just wanted to let you know that it arrived today - thank you so much! Really impressed with the packaging. About to sit down and watch it now - considering buying 2 more copies, may pass this one on to Graham Hancock in a couple of weeks time.

[vineofthesoulfilm]

@fanguk2 Wonderful! Love to hear your thoughts if you wish.

I don't know whether Graham has seen it or not yet. Another

friend was planning to let him know about it. I may be coming

over to the UK next month for the Breaking Convention conference

at the University of Kent. Are you going? Richard

[fanguk2]

@vineofthesoulfilm Richard, just to let you know that I finished watching it about half an hour ago. I think it's really wonderful, the best documentary I've seen yet. You've put together something that's not only stirring, but informative and at times deeply touching - there were a number of times I had a lump in my throat. Mother Aya would be proud - kudos to you.

Yes, I will be at the Breaking Convention conference - would love to meet up with you for brunch/coffee or something.

[vineofthesoulfilm]

@fanguk2 I'm so pleased it resonated with you - I'm humbled by your kind words. Thank you so much.

I still have to get a cheap airfare from Canada - still hunting - but yes, let's plan on meeting up at the conference. That would be great. I know they are showing "Vine of the Soul" but I don't know which evening. Richard

[spacefm]

nice video on DMT, spiritual healing and Ayahuasca.

[vineofthesoulfilm]

@spacefm Thank you for mentioning. Much appreciated.

Hope you get to see the film, too.

[niteshadeath]

U don't know shit! Lmao:)

[macwoof]

meymey, I can vouch that for these people it is a way of life, AND they are being taught by the indigenous curandaros. Ayahuasca is anything but a spiritual vacation.

[FLpolo]

yep he's right we dont know shit. that's why i hate when scientist make everyone believe thier THEORIES on how earth was created and how we came from germs and monkeys when we as humans dont even know how we pee! ahaha. we dont know how we dream at night and how a full grown person came from microscophic seed/egg. but am suppose to believe your take on events that happen waaaaaay before you?! just think how absurd that is..... does a baby know how many fingers he has? your r no diff from a baby

[mcpencil]

@FLpolo

evolution happened. deal with it.

[5147848amp]

@FLpolo

Calm down, lad. You heading aneurysmward, yeah!

[ENYLYNMAY]

They feel they are going to die... because usually their spirit get's out of their body and explore things more than a human body could ever see or feel...

[Meymeygwis]

Thank you for this interesting trailer!

It is noteworthy that people from industrial society (N.A.) take an interest in the Teacher Plants. Will the film consider their cultural & ecological context of origin? Is there an opportunity to learn from the original practitioners of these traditions? This would be even more instructive rather than learning from those who use the medicine, albeit sincerely, as a spiritual vacation or singular step on their journey rather than as a way of life. Regards.

[Lunartrek]

@Meymeygwis For that, you would need to take a trip to Peru, I believe. I'm no expert by any means, but I am aware of a potential outlet for such a venture. You can visit Ayahuascaassociation (dot) org and decide for yourself, though. :-)

Cant wait!
