after many years as an alcoholic i have used many techniques and tools for awakening. 10 day silent Vipassana meditation courses: http://www.dhamma.org/, Amazon Herbs: http://troy.amazonherb.net/ yoga, nutrition, Maori Shamanism: http://www.ata-rangi.com/ Rolfing: tarpitboss@mac.com and recently Natural childbirth: http://www.tlcwomanscenter.com/
all having a profound impact on my life and realization that life is sacred and it is important to respect the Earth, others and myself.


Peter Gorman writes: "Plants, like everything else, are our co-dwellers in the universe. But man has a special relationship with plants. They provide, and have since the beginning of time, the bulk of our food, our clothing, our shelter. Some provide us with the loveliest scents; some with extraordinary color. Theyre the source of our medicines, their roots work with soil and stone to keep the surface of the earth intact. They go so far as to take the poisonous carbon dioxide that humans exhale and turn it back into human-life-giving oxygen. Thats some relationship. Of course it may be that plants only invented us to distribute their seeds, so Im not suggesting they live to cater to us. But they do provide us with much of what we need to exist on this planet."

Ralph Metzner writes: "Ayahuasca is an hallucinogenic Amazonian plant concoction, that has been used by native Indian and mestizo shamans in Perú, Colombia and Ecuador for healing and divination for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. It is known by various names in the different tribes, including caapi, natema, mihi and yajé. The name ayahuasca is from the Quechua language: huasca means "vine" or "liana" and aya means "souls" or "dead people" or "spirits". Thus "vine of the dead", "vine of the souls" or "vine of the spirits" would all be appropriate English translations. It is however slightly misleading as a name, since the vine Banisteriopsis caapi is only one of two essential ingredients in the hallucinogenic brew, the other one being the leafy plant Psychotria viridis, which contain the powerful psychoactive dimethyltryptamine (DMT). It is the DMT, derivatives of which are also present in various other natural hallucinogens, including the magic mushroom of Mexico, that provides visionary experiences and thus access to the realm of spirits and the souls of deceased ancestors. But DMT is not orally active, being metabolized by the stomach enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO). Certain chemicals in the vine inhibit the action of MAO and are therefore referred to as MAO-inhibitors: -- their presence in the brew makes the psychoactive principle available and allows it to circulate through the bloodstream into the brain, where it triggers the visionary access to otherworldly realms and beings. The details of this remarkably sophisticated indigenous psychoactive drug-delivery system, and the history of its discovery by science, will be described and explored in this volume."

I sincerely believe it is a shame we cannot seem to resolve our inner unrest and sense of well being by transforming our demented society into something more sustainable and less destructive. As much as I myself have experienced "sacred" substances and benevolent visions...I do not think these relate to our underlying problem as a civilization.

[certifiedhealthnut]

@permacultureli i believe and know that they are a tool in shifting consciousness and opening the heart....i experienced that and base my life on sharing the perrenial wisdom of Amazonian plants with the world...not just Ayahuasca but the rest of the VERY important medicines that can help the current epidemics we are seeing.

these plants awaken!

[permacultureli]

@certifiedhealthnut...well, I admire your focus.....and trust what you are saying. (you are not someone at all typical amiko...). I seem to be more inclined towards a rationalistic focus right now...which is the opposite of my younger years...this probably accounts for my not too amused reaction to some of the videos I have seen concerning Ayahuasca experience....which I imagine to be rather subjective.

[certifiedhealthnut]

@permacultureli thanks brother! AND i dig these songs that i also believe are activation frequencies that awaken dormant intelligence inside my cyberspace brethren...that floats my boat! ;-]

[WickedMo13]

now if all ayahuasca experiences were like this im in!!! Other peoples footage of their experience dont even compare to this one, its so comforting. I didnt know there could be female shamans. Where do I go to find this healer?

[certifiedhealthnut]

@WickedMo13 email Elisa: shipibotours@hotmail.com Elisa has her own place yet this was filmed at another center with an english speaking director.

contact her and let her know you got her info from me, she will take care of you, her husband Alberto and her family are very sweet!

[NapalmTheElf]

In the UK, Ayahuasca is a class A drug....another perfect example that authority fears natural plants that have the potential to open our minds the the simple fact that we are one, that the planet about us is actually part of us and that life is important spiritually.

If they were ever gunna legalise a class A drug, it would be amphetamines cos that way we could work more for longer.

Isn't it funny that aboriginal people don't need psychiatrists? I had many psychedelic experiences in my youth. I believe that they hold a useful place in self examination but also believe that they can become detrimental . Still, the science behind it is simple and makes common sense. The psychotropic drug effects neurotransmitters and scrambles messages causing hallucinations. They seem bona fide because of the intensity but they are a pure illusion. Only the self revelation is real.
