Shamanism - Other Worlds - Ayahuasca Documentary

Shamanism - Other Worlds - Ayahuasca Documentary (Shaman_-_Other_Worlds_-_Ayahuasca_Documentary.avi)

Ayahuasca is used largely as a religious sacrament. Those whose usage of ayahuasca is performed in non-traditional contexts often align themselves with the philosophies and cosmologies associated with ayahuasca shamanism, as practiced among indigenous peoples like the Urarina of Peruvian Amazonia. The religion Santo Daime uses it.

While non-native users know of the spiritual applications of ayahuasca, a less well-known traditional usage focuses on the medicinal properties of ayahuasca. Its purgative properties are highly important (many refer to it as la purga, "the purge"). The intense vomiting and occasional diarrhea it induces can clear the body of worms and other tropical parasites, and harmala alkaloids themselves have been shown to be anthelmintic. Thus, this action is twofold; a direct action on the parasites by these harmala alkaloids (particularly harmine in ayahuasca) works to kill the parasites, and parasites are expelled through the increased intestinal motility that is caused by these alkaloids.

i wonder about the 'diet' the guide and the narrator refer to. And what did he eat that caused the schizophrenic episode?

[HCLivess]

@thaitea10 what do you mean by schitzophrenic? the western style of life where a man is divided into conscious and subconscious with an ego scared from the latter? Thats what I would refer to as schitzophrenic. Talking about the mystical experience, you do not really need to eat anything.

@sirfrac nor for me, try reloading the page

Science and religion are just different lenses to see life through. So science only shows us how things work and not what things are? That's factually incorrect. Some people choose to look at life and search for more complex answers then most religions are willing to give us. I want the details. The specifics. I don't want it in a story format easy for everyone to understand, and that's what religion does in my eyes. I'm not saying simple is bad, sometimes that's all people need, but I need more

@rootofallevil239 Maslow said that the religious institutions from where such stories emerge are the greatest enemies of the religious experience

No wonder it's Illegal. Unconditional love poses a real threat to the economy.

@HCLivess

Could you elaborate on your understanding of schizophrenia?

[Kbarnes83]

@Marronisince1990 In today's society, Love and Understanding aren't marketable therefore the Government finds ways to prohibit things that could cause such a state of human consciousness.

@theUglyManowar - in terms of the arrows, yeah really those should aim to hit spots that a. numb and b. kill quickly - if you can see auras and the like that is far easier as you can see the pressure points. these kinds of things, like knowing where such points are, are really meant to be the kind of stuff that is taught normally and passed down.

doesn't mean you have to hunt etc, for healing also.

@theUglyManowar - 1 thing i try to do is say if it's a root veg or bulb to take the roots off first cleanly, so the plant knows it isn't being replanted etc.

death of microorganisms isn't any less relevant than larger more complex beings..

some people are fruitarians as it's less damaging, then you can be a breatharian and eat only chi.

mining is harmful - they torture elementals etc with fucking bombs. bombs...

@theUglyManowar - i still haven't gotten around to watching this...

The Secret Life Of Plants part 1

it demonstrates that plants can experience stress, identify a human that killed a plant, empathise with animals being killed, and also anticipate / react to the thoughts of a human intending the plant harm.

i think such things are why enlightened ways of food preparation take into consideration plants are conscious

[theUglyManowar]

@theUglyManowar AlthO, nowhere near as diciplined/compassionate enuff to sacrifice cravings for animal life.( all addictions are food in the bloodstream effecting neuro-transmissions. My heroin addiction swims right next to my meat addictions ) However, I "DRAW THAT LINE" @ sentiency levels as complex as the relationship one could have with a dog that becomes family.

Having friends with pigs and knowing how sentient they are. Killing Dolphins, Pigs, Primates, feels like murdering people to me.

[theUglyManowar]

@theUglyManowar I use to live communally among an activist Vegan group. I remember one particular debate where one of my friends rationalized the relative environmentally ethnocentric aspect to morality with an exemplary Simpson's diatribe.

In which Bart tortures a vegetarian's sensitive dispositions by reminding the hippie trying to practice his diet that every vegetable he digests is loaded with micro celled animals. At which point that victim shouts, "WELL U GOT TO DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!"

[theUglyManowar]

@NWOareScum As you admit, u didn't watch the vid at the point of yer post.

There is an aspect to the ritual killing that does cause to pre-long the animal's suffering. And I am wondering if the problem is the result of the incompetant archery of each participant taking a shot. And with each non-fatal shot the pig has to suffer, instead of cringing because of unfortunately placed shots, the crowd erupts with congratulatory joy? The well placed final club however seemed merciful and competant.

[NWOareScum]

@zezt - and you're telling me this why? the first part i mean.

you read my comments or you shouldn't be replying me about them, i didn't claim anyone requires to do animal sacrifices, in fact i very clearly stated it's not necessary to do so in order to navigate in hyperspace etc at all.

however if you kill life for food, then you should do so without ignoring the fact you have removed its soul from its body (& all that entails) - otherwise it would still be alive..
