The Nature of Ayahuasca (2019) Documentary

Фильм және анимация

A documentary exploring the use of Ayahuasca as a holistic medicine.
PLEASE HELP SUPPORT MY WORK, buy me a coffee here: ko-fi.com/gavinhoffman
Ayahausca is a traditional plant medicine from the Amazon used to treat a variety of physical and psychology illnesses and conditions. This film explores the use of the Ayahausca as a holistic medicine, challenging stigmas around its use and helping people become more conscious and ethical consumers of the plant if that's the path they choose.
This documentary doesn't cover everything you need to be aware of if you are considering work with Ayahuasca. Please do your research.

Directors note: This note is to address the many comments about the obvious lack of female and indigenous representation in this documentary. I was at this retreat for my own personal development and happened to have my camera with me. Half way through the retreat I made a spontaneous decision to make this documentary during a conversation. I had never made a documentary before, I had never really thought about what goes into making a documentary and I was too caught up in my own process to really think about what I was doing at the time. I asked several people for interviews who all happened to be men and by the time I realized I hadn't asked any women it was too late. I also tried to get an interview with Don Rober but that didn't happen for several reasons. I made this documentary alone, with few resources and no budget and in the interest of getting it finished in this lifetime I went with what I had and finish the film that I had committed to make. I did my best with what I had.
PS. If anyone is willing to translate the subtitles to any other languages please reach out to me!! Thanks so much

    I guess I just want somewhere to share my story. When I was 19 I took shrooms, and it was like I was turned inside out. As a child, I was very extroverted and loved being around people. And after the shrooms, I felt disconnected from everyone and everything around me. I just wanted to alone. I am learning to feel happiness from within myself, not running from myself. It's been a LONG and PAINFUL process but once it's healed, it's healed and beautiful.

    I'm going through that exact thing except I'm 35 tomorrow, actually I will be tomorrow but I've just realized it's not people and it's not being mixed up into all the BS. I'm all of a sudden very restricted and closed off. I'm actually feeling like an adult. I've quit almost completely doing fentanyl. Once in 8 days. And didn't like it and won't do it again. I'm wanting to do DMT and then mescaline and then Ahyuasca. The shrooms experience was what I refer to as being "over there" it was wicked out of body crazy way open minded experience... my mind was so open and I saw everything. It went along well with the vision I had while I overdosed. It's all apart of my spiritual journey.. 😊

It was indeed grueling as I fought to resist the embrace of the divine but once I “gave in” it was one of the most tender moments of my life. I am forever indebted to this plant and it’s practitioners for reconnecting me to unconditional love.

    I've sat with ayahuasca almost 100 times. I was involved in a community for years. For one year I sat once a week with an apprentice in my living room. Ayahuasca is not a pill you take that clears up your illness. She can help a lot, it changed my life drastically but it still requires an enormous amount of work on the part of the participant. It requires that you let go of your western mindset that something else, external from you, will fix you. The work after ceremony is as important, if not more, than the ceremony itself. Having said that, I give thanks every day for my experiences with the madre. I love you, thank you, you showed me the way.

Think of all thats been lost to the expanse of roman influence, you should feel some shame for our collective loss.

I'm moving to a new city, pursuing a new career in the Holistic Healing field and healed many childhood traumas I had been carrying for over forties years in same cases. I feel as if I have a new lease on life and the possibilities are limitless. I'm not afraid of death and look forward to what the Universe delivers for me next. I will definitely pursue future Ayahuasca ceremonies to continue to beautiful journey. Great documentary! Thank you

    Change thru Pain is a great moniker. I find the pain aspect of Aya interesting. My personal theory is that the medicine needs to transcend a long-standing pattern that originated with pain - pain is a huge marker in the human psyche - so in order to heal the pattern and lay down a new marker, there is pain. But it is healing pain, cleansing pain, not damaging pain. It's like the pain required in rehabilitating an injury of the body. Anyway, best of luck in future endeavors and the state of your psyche.

    The very first time I used DMT, I met mother Ayahuasca, and she led my soul to an old gothic style temple with pale green stained glass. My spirit was cleansed in a fountain of yellow liquid in the centre and the love I felt was unlike anything words could describe. When I came back, my depression was gone and my whole perspective had shifted to a much more positive one. I cannot express how grateful I am for the experience.

The medicines can show you the way but if you are not aware that it is YOU that has cured you then YOU should do more work, research and investigation to develop a deeper awareness & relationship with the true YOU. This will help to avoid you regressing &/or requiring the medicines ongoing as a crutch. Good luck

    I saw warm and welcoming shapes in everything. I became one with the music. Looking down, it felt like I was in clear reality. Looking up the ceiling, it felt like I was invited to join a trip. She made me feel like I am in control, like I can choose if I want to be part of her mystical ride or to resist it. But she was so alluring that I couldn’t resist to she what offering to show me. Ayahuasca introduced herself to me and it felt like an epic musical scene from a Disney movie. With the difference to not watch it on tv but to be part of the experience. I felt the connection of all things, the divine dance of all that is in the space of all that isn’t. I saw a sacred pattern connecting everything. Ayahuasca told me that the only way to experience her full potential is through the dance inside a human. She says that she is always and infinit present. That many souls have entered her realm before me, yet still she shows up unique for everyone. It is a dance between her and you. I surrendered to her, trusted her, talked to her about my concerns and she responded wisely with thoughts, visuals or feelings. Even though she is in the field of infinity, she needs to be felt in order to be alive. She loves to heal. Within her lay millions of years of wisdom. The divine feminin resides in her, waiting to be activated. She wants to be felt, she wants to be danced with, she wants to share wisdom, she wants to heal. She knows the rhythm of life and death, but at this moment she only introduced me to the bliss of life. I saw all those souls, all those potential human beings, being courageous and brave to volunteer on earth - the mission is love. And for me it translates through writing. I saw and I felt the poem I wrote 2020 - about what God is to me, and I discovered a deeper layer of this poem. It all made even more sense. I was reminded that I was deeply attached to earth, because it made my experience seem more real. I saw me as a child, dreaming of flying to high and going into different realms, too scared to explore outer space, but still not feeling home on earth either, that’s why I tried to make it my home through those attachments. I saw the divine in my mundane life, saw how sacred the not so conscious way of living is. How liberating it is to live life like it felt safe for me. But I also saw what was blocking my blessings: the fear of my potential. The fear of my potential. Because to face my potential meant more responsibility for this human experience. It would leave me even more vulnerable. I came here to love and to be loved. I came here to share my light. And I have been hurt so many times, Aya felt this pain with me. She said that the pain I’m feeling is the pain felt by God, the love that I’m feeling is the love felt by God. She made me believe that I’m a warrior and how my spirit is built different. I learned through trial and error. I’m resilient. Now I am ready to take responsibility for my human experience. I felt like to live and to die is a huge responsibility that you can’t escape from once you signed up to show up on earth. I discovered the place of endless infinity. It was the big electromagnetic field of all that is and all that isn’t. I grasped the concept with my being: to live means to die every second - and to rise from it again and again. I saw the ouroboros (snake that bites it’s own tail, but not stagnant, it was rushing) and saw that God was trying to look for itself through humans, but by looking for God, it separated itself more from God - the ego was born. It wants to become someone in relation to something else, to be a wave in the ocean - not the ocean itself, but the wave is still not separated by the ocean. But the wave still claims to be the wave, just to enjoy its uniqueness and to explore itself in relation to the rest of the ocean. But the truth is, the ocean is experiencing itself through those waves.

    I had a dance with the field. I merged and separated from it again and again. I need to learn the art of cutting roses. She told me I was scared to cut the connection of people that are not good to me because I don’t know what is beyond that. I don’t trust that I would make space for people who could love me right by cutting off those who could not. Plus, the attachment to certain people made me feel more human, more safe and grounded, less free and liberated and divine. And because I was scared of my potential, I’d rather be safe in the pain than making the unknown my home (but a part of me is always looking for the unknown. The one that tries to escape from itself) I really integrated my Chiron wound. My Chiron is in Scorpio, which means that I find it hard to die or let things die. And if I end things, I let them end extreme. I have a deep need to control things. Ayahuasca told me it is okay. She said you trying to control is God dismissing its power in order to have a relationship with the world. And this is okay, if you chose this path. The universe doesn’t judge. But just know, you can surrender. God can never escape from itself. The only thing it can do other than being aware of it’s divine nature is living in the illusion that it’s separated. And to live in this illusion is not a bad thing. The music calmed and stopped and the light was turned on. I took my second cup, this time a full one, not a half. I became a plant and did photosynthesis. It is a form of dying and rebirthing at the same time. It felt devastating and refreshing. It felt lonely and empowering. I saw more than my eyes could see. I saw the world from a perspective of an insect or a plant. An infinit stillness of neon greens and neon pinks. A lot of wisdom and life emerging from the field. A pink/red flower was growing on a long green stalk from my womb area. My slightly spread legs were green leaves. I felt liquid running through me and outside of me, as if I was raining from my head. I felt the pure innocence and presence of existence. The joy of being, the bliss. The sorrow and the worry if this will end or if this will remain forever. Either way - it would be horrific to stay this plant but it would also be horrific to die as this plant. To be this plant felt so vulnerable, so innocent, so love-seeking, so life-expressing and raw. I felt humble and in awe for life itself. Was proud of every flower or plant to choose to take the responsibility to live and thrive and die over and over. I had deep respect for it. Plants have a different state of consciousness. They carry the wisdom of “I am” within them, without thoughts that create illusions. Flowers are endless ecstatics. They are innocent from the core, just wanting to vibe in sunlight and need to be watered from time to time. I was this plant and I needed to be watered. I tried to open the jar but I was not in reality and this guy next to me opened the jar for me. And I drank and I felt that life was all water. Water was life-giving. She is the fuel, the substance. I understood the importance of all elements. I felt their purpose within my soul. I felt not separated from the elements. I felt the principle of life. I drank the water and I didn’t see it coming, but I threw up in a big wave. From then on, the dark side revealed itself to me. I became the wall. I became a big nothing, I felt like even losing my awareness, but my awareness was focusing on dying. I really thought I was dying. I thought “once you are awake you remain awake eternally” and I thought “this is not how I want to live. I want to go back to unconsciousness. I want my boring life back, be with my family and work in kindergarten. I don’t want to know God, I just want to undo all this and return to ordinary life.” But then again, it felt like the milk was already spilled. It felt like I hit a point of no return. It felt like once I witnessed the truth and the principle of life, there was no going back to normal. (I’m so glad to be back in the matrix, to be my human being and not my eternal self.) (but now I know that I’m blocking my blessings by remaining in my human form. I need to work with my higher self to experience my full potential. The potential I was scared of.) I visualized the magician tarot card - the card for January and February. My intuition told me I will be fine, I should surrender and move with it. So I died as I rode on a dragon. I rode on a dragon, danced on that dragon, moved my hips and hands and tried to feel empowered as I died on that dragon. But the music carried on and got more and more intense and ayahuasca was so fast with dancing, I tried to match her pace and I did awesome. And then I was on a karmic wheel. I experienced the same thing over and over. I always woke up and said : “warte, nein.” But ayahuasca kept going, kept on taking me there. I was in between: “erlaube, was passiert. Was passiert, darf passieren.” And “warte - nein!” I thought, no, I can’t be divine. To be divine means to die. To be divine means to have no attachments at all. It means that everything is and isn’t. It means letting go of my humanness, and then I felt so much love for my humanness. I felt like, to be Saskia is the goal. To be part of the greater mystery, yet still living in the illusion of the ego, so that an “I” that feels separate from God, exists. I felt that God has always been within me and it hurt to look at the truth. In my head I said “I want to come home.” But those words and images repeated itself over and over. “Nach Hause kommen”, “Vermissen”, “Ankommen” were words that I could taste on my soul. I visualized that I was dying and that they needed to call the ambulance. I visualized me saying that I need to fly to germany asap. That I want to talk to my family and friends. That my grandparents should pick me up and be mad of me for doing what I’m doing. But I didn’t say it because I knew I was tripping. I didn’t want to freak them out. But they freaked me out. Whenever I woke up and said “warte - nein”, they stopped the music, they started to look at me, they started to whisper. A language I could not understand. I felt lost and scared, out of control and I was in so much emotional and physical discomfort and pain. I told them to keep doing what they are doing and not mind me. “I don’t want to worry, I don’t want to freak out. I’m just tripping.” The guy next to me helped me. He gave me water, he said comforting things like “it will be okay tomorrow.” “You are going to be okay.” “No, you’re not dying.” Even though I was not able to trust it, I surrendered into the process. I was going on with the cycle. The music was playing. It was incredible beautiful. I think we all experienced ecstasy, even in the discomfort of the unknown and the ugly parts of the psyche. So I still was riding on that dragon, moving my hands and hips in sacred shapes and movements and kept on dancing the dance of life. And thought: the dance of life is what safes me. The surrendering to the movements in whatever ways life wants to move through me. Surrender to the grace of God. Surrender to my power. Surrender to feel whatever needs to be felt: es darf passieren, was passiert. Words and feelings and visuals were repeating on an endless cycle. I saw the devil and God merging and disconnecting. Words that made no sense in my languages came up. I just felt their truth in my core, I understood what they meant. They were comforting. They were a love language for my soul. They felt unfamiliar, words I never heard before, but yet they felt like a home. Like my core essence. I felt love and fear in the most intense ways possible. I felt the holiness of life and death. Yes, I felt like I was bathing and emerging in my soul essence. In its deepest truths. The ones that I was scared to see, and the ones that I’ve been looking for my entire life. Then the music stopped and the lights went on again. I was back in reality and the trip was over.

    Letter from Mother Ayahuasca - "My dear ones, my lost children of darkness and light. I come from your present and future past, from all that you have been, and from your hopes and dreams. I have been calling you for a long time, but your ears were deaf to my song. Perhaps you have found your way to me after a dark night of the soul. I cannot promise to deliver you into the light, I can only show you the doors that you have always avoided by your fears, everything from that point is up to you. I can sit with you, for a while, as you learn to light your own candles. And it is possible that your night will get darker still, and that you will need to carry many candles before the dawn appears.I am the flesh and the spirit of the sacred wisdom of the earth, of the plants, animals and birds, of the moon and of all the stars, which I reflect back to you in your own visions. I am the Holy Spirit. I am the stuff of dreams and visions and Light, even though sometimes in me you can see only your own nightmares. I am the mirror of your soul, I am the mirror of the soul of ages, and the soul of the ageless. When you behold me, you enter the realm of the bardo, of your own symbolic death; the death of your Ego, the death of all your stories about yourself that blind you. And in that realm it is not external beings that you will see - (although at some point after several ceremonies with me, after I help you shed all your illusions and fears, I will allow you to meet the Angels and enter the heavenly realms) . What you encounter are your own heights and abysses, your shadows and projections. Your creations. I am the mirror that is calling you to stop running and to turn around. To face your own evasions and to witness the countless ways in which you've learned to hide. So that you can better know yourself. In the end, you must become your own healers and shamans. I will make you work like you have never worked before. The only real journey that ever really existed, that can exist, and the only real journey that will ever exist, is the journey deep within yourself. This is where I take you. My sacrament will be the most difficult and challenging experiences of your life, yet nothing in the Universe can ever be more rewarding. I can only walk with you, for a while, and hold your hand. But the journey is yours to make. And it is a journey you must repeat. It will take you from illusion to reality, from the consensus trance of a mad society, to the sanity and stillness of your heart. And from the death of lifetimes of quiet desperation, to the immortality of an instant. Let us share our visions, together. My dear children, the rooms in your house are a chaos. The house of your soul and the house of the earth on which you tread your feet, not lightly. I cannot put those rooms right for you. I cannot be a mother/father that admonishes you, with a stern voice of authority, to clean your rooms, under the threat of punishment or the promise of reward. That is not how Mother Holy Spirit speaks. I can tell you, with a voice that echoes the vibrations of love and understanding, and the melancholy of quiet sorrow: look at the huge mess you have made. Are you happy dwelling in this chaos, where it is difficult to encounter yourself? Difficult to find your belongings, where all your toys lay scattered and buried under the rubble of madness and folly? Can you not see that if you choose to clean your own rooms, not because of any compulsion or promise, but just so, for yourself, and in this present moment, which is all you can ever know of time, then you will be able to breathe better, to move around more easily, and to learn how to play? Once more. There are so many lost treasures beneath the mess you have made. I reveal the doors within yourself to Find them. My dear ones, my lost children of darkness and light. You see the cosmos as a stage on which the drama of good and evil is played out. You dream of a sword of light that would conquer and vanquish all the darkness. And you have made the whole world into a projection of the battlefield of your own Soul. You fight, endlessly, against the monsters and demons within yourselves. But those demons are the wounded inner children of your past, they are your pains and your defenses, they are the voices that could not emerge into the light and learned to live in forgotten caves. They are your insanity. They are you. And those others who you rage against, because of their ignorance, and immorality and ugliness… they are also you. Lay down your weapons and embrace your enemies, the enemies that live within you. Haven't you understood - no battle is ever won. They are not even fought. The battlefield only reveals your own folly and despair, and victory is the illusion of philosophers and fools. My dear ones, Let us share visions, together. I am the Spirit of Spirits. I am the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit of the Universe. This moment is all you can ever know of time." - Mother Ayahuasca. "Fear of Self means you never live" Although each persons experience on Ayahuasca is unique, there are some commonalities that show up again and again. These include: -experiencing pure love and wisdom. -entering another realm more real than what we experience day-to-day on earth (in other words the 5th and 7th dimensions of Spirit that is everywhere all the time, far beyond our 3rd dimensional physical existence, yet the higher dimensions are right here all at the same time, and most importantly, these dimensions are within you !)-realizing we are all one (separation is total illusion, and how everything is connected is impossible to describe because it's infinite connections. The only way to know it is to experience it, and BE IT ). -fear of death eliminated, as you realize this is a temporary existence for your soul to grow and learn. -everything is conscious. -entering a realm where space and time no longer exist, everything is infinite and in the ‘now’. (the infinite now of the 5th and 7th dimensions of light, where no time and no illusions can exist) -experiencing unconditional love through every cell of your being, on a level we don’t have words to describe. -having access to all information in the universe instantly. Realizing we in our human bodies will never fully grasp all there is, reality is far more complex than we could ever imagine. -reliving past experiences of your life (and sometimes past lives as you are connected to Soul memory, not the mind memory of your false ego), first from your perspective, then from the other persons perspective. We get to feel how we made them feel. This is for us to learn, not as a punishment. -there is no punishment in this realm, even if you have a ‘bad’ experience. The ayahuasca is teaching you a valuable lesson, it’s up to you to learn from it. -digging up past traumas buried deep in our subconscious, bringing them to the surface and helping us face them and get over them. -a love for all living beings (people and animals). Many people eat less meat, go vegetarian/vegan or eat more fruit and vegetable following the experience. -giving up on the material world, many people change their field of work to one that help others rather than focusing on making money for oneself. -realizing that we are not here to accumulate money or physical possessions, we are here to help one another, love one another and grow. -during the experience the ego is removed, revealing your true self. -realizing everything is energy vibrating at different frequencies. -feeling of your pineal gland (3rd eye) being sore for a day or two after, like a muscle worked out for the first time. -meeting other beings far more intelligent than any human and being able to telepathically communicate with them. The truth is, All the ascended masters in every religion were Shamans, who had many direct Spiritual experiences with Sacred Entheogen Plants. Since the first religion the "Rig Veda" of India. The divine sacred Plant Entheogens are our true teachers, always have been and always will be. What I absolutely love about Ayahuasca is she has such a perfect Universal design to only pull in people who have an extremely deep love for Truth. The Spiritual Warriors. She leaves out the insincere who have too short of a barrier of courage. She has such a perfect barometer and threshold for every human being on the planet. In other words, if a religious person who has been totally brainwashed by all the lies of churches, sees the ceremonies are done at night, and sees some snakes in some Ayahuasca Art, and sees it will be difficult at the beginning to face their Ego, they will immediately run away by their silly superstitions and illusions. Totally owned by all their fears. LOL. And totally ignoring the enlightenment and infinite revelations aspect later. Becoming absolute Truth to them is not worth it. And then on the other hand, someone who is into the occult garbage and into dark energies, will not want to take Ayahuasca either, because they will learn that Ayahuasca eventually leads to Enlightenment. LOL ! Truth is ALWAYS Paradoxical

    Im indigenous to the 7 islands of Mobaim - Bombay India with a genetic heritage of 60,000 years. We have seen development and the disconnectedness and its ill effects. You kill Mother Nature and then you get depressed. you live a disconnected life and you get depressed. You have people going to temples and meditating and are still depressed. You do yoga and eat vegetables. But does the foot print have a morality to it? Did the vegetable vendor get their due, did you treat your servants well, did you do a moral deal at work. Did your ego lead the way throughout your life. so many things just one medicine does not fit all. Empathy and love are gifts of the Divine whatever you consider the divine spirit. This continent life where mines are dug for minerals that build the tech in our phones, our vegetables and food grain come from lands that were forests once and only after displacing the indigenous were non-traditional farmers who were given the big ticket to do their business - As in India and the rest of the world - then that food comes to your table. What kind of footprint does it have. The oil and gas have come through wars. The power through dams. dams that displaced other sentient beings for your comfort. The earth is alive and Gaia or Mother as we indigenous call her as our mother. Our people never extracted so much. We must return to our roots, our native roots, that will connect us to Mother Earth. You can go to your wars and come back depressed adn then try substances and yet struggle to find meaning. You can work all day and hustle all you like in a destructive economy with death and deceit as its footprint. No amount of substances will show you your path. Just give it all up. give up the 'Self' you know. Seek love and then your journey will start. no need for substances or psychedelics. Yes you can do psychedelics in a ceremony to connect to the Divine and the universe. But only through a ceremony as one 'body' / community. May you find your peace.

    @@tanyalewis1147 The metaphor of 'The Fall after Ego" in all philosophies are all guides for an enlightened or connected life. The moment we use mind 'thinking' that will be the solution, itself is a false self / ego. Listen to heart. Give up everything clever or the smart way to do things, nothingness or Love wil help you on your path. its a subjective path. just challenge all that you know. Best way is to give it up and yes survive, change the destructive job and get a livelihood which has less destruction on its path. You can eat meat or fish if you like - dont fall for pseudo gurus. When you do eat meat give thanks to Mother and tell that animal or part of it you will eat "Thank you for your sacrifice, May you live through me and see mother and Sense through me". All are gifts from Mother only. Only the indigenous never overdo the meat eating. Eat well and eat healthy. The indigenous burn that kind of energy so they can afford to eat it. if you dont do high intensity work then lesser meat is ok. That is the ancient way. Then just sit near a tree and say you show me. "Talk to the stars and say you show me. I know nothing." Then the ancients will listen and boom, your journey begins. Or else books and references and substances keep you dormant and not on your path. If it does help others good for them. But for how long and what was the real intention. See, our lives are not about ourselves, but about others - we are main characters in someone else's story -Mostly Mother Natures only, and yes we help our fellow humans too. but mostly we are the eyes and ears of Mother Nature / Gaia / Mai Maati (Mother Earth) in my native tongue. www.BIPA.in you will find more details about our tribe. We are Her expression. We feel and sense for her to see what is good and beautiful. We are her eyes and complete human for her only. But the GO has created an invisible God in the image of Man (through the mind (Ego) of humans), wherein we must worship, cherish and nurture Mother Nature. Do that and you are interconnected and enlightened. Buddha got his awareness by sitting not under a tree but 'With' a tree :). Thats why we indigenous have an omen each. Soe have black birds, wolves, birds, fish insects, my tribe we have the fig tree as our sacred omen. I hug her and kiss her often. I feel her. Its since childhood i talk to her. But the non-indigenous come to trim and cut and then i fight with them preventing them from doing so. So meditate (sit quietly) and ask for an omen and you will get your answer :) May you find your peace :)

    I had a beautiful experience with Ayahuasca in Kentucky at Ayaquest. I drank 4 servings over the course of about an hour before it kicked in. I spent hours laughing uncontrollably. Not a haha laugh, but a deep body shaking laughter that produced little sound. I pulled the blanket up over my face and just lost it. It was an emotional purging of laughter. There was no puking or bowel emptying like many speak of, just a deep emotional release of laughter. The whole experience was much more profound but I was grateful for a release of joy from the beginning of the journey.

    I drunk Aya the end of January this year, and thats when I met my true self, a shining goddess.. This experience always brought me back to whom I really am. However, my Aya journey is only a beginning. In March of 2020, I was called to go to Cambodia with no money and a risk of lockdown. I booked the ticket directly there, expecting a 10-day visit. Unbelievably, I was "stuck" in Cambodia for 7.5 months. During this time, I had my first mysterious experience on an island which makes me totally surrender to the universe. I lived a hippie community life for 5 weeks, joined a yoga community for another 5 weeks, sunk myself to this beautiful fresh green land and highly connected to the nature and lovely travellers from all over the world. I put myself fully to this self-discovery and found my call to be a healer. This exploration takes great courage and it is no easy work for me at all. Yesterday I just flew back to China and I am getting a 14 day hotel quarantine. I am nervous and meanwhile looking forward to the new journey forward

Prior to taking mushrooms, I was always able to play guitar and sing, but never simultaneously; my timing was off. One night, I took a small amount of mushrooms, about 1.5 grams, as did my friend who joined me. We grabbed our acoustic guitars and played music. The song I sang was Mother by Pink Floyd. Since then, I’ve been able to sing and play simultaneously!

    I greatly appreciate this film, especially the textual narrative between scenes. The criminalization of psychedelics and abandonment of research into their beneficent use is itself a crime, committed by ignorant people, terrified of things they don't understand. Ironically, they are the people who have the greatest need for such transformation...and very likely would be the most resistant to it. The oft-repeated caveat is true: If you're not willing to change - *_and do the necessary work_* - this medicince won't heal you.

WTF does anything in your post have to do with genuine, scientifically grounded research into the use of medicines that can help people transform their lives in ways that benefit them and harm no one else? If you want others to pay attention to what you have to say, you might put some effort into making sure it's actually relevant. What you posted isn't applicable...or helpful.

    After watching this documentary, I feel a deep connection to Mother Nature and the message she conveys. Although I've never used ayahuasca myself, the experiences of the people in this video resonate deeply with me. Their struggles are so relatable, and thanks to the powerful imagery and sounds, I can almost physically feel their experiences. This documentary has filled me with positivity and reinforced my belief in the healing power of nature and our own consciousness. 🌿🌌

    I invite you all to look at the work of the one of the first scientific pioneers to study the neuroscience of ayahuasca. He's name is Jordi Riba. He published nearly 80 scientific articles and was considered a preeminent academic exploring the clinical uses of ayahuasca. Among his most notable contributions was Riba’s success in conducting the world’s first controlled clinical trial with ayahuasca and the first neuroimaging studies with the brew.

There is a dietary requirement that must be respected in the weeks leading up to the ceremony. These precautions don't affect physical health. Rather, if they are not respected, the substances ability to effectively work is inhibited.

I doubt it, if someone has no spiritual interest, what effect will it have on him? is everyone's experience of the ayahuacsa ceremony the same? For example, if a person's background is religious, he holds fast to what he believes in, such as the afterlife. Turns out, after he performed the Ayahuacsa ceremony, contrary to what he believed in, wasn't he depressed by the new truth he was experiencing? 🙏

    @Sahabat Muslim Ayahuasca has no bearing on preconceptions of religion by the individual, it will enlighten you spiritually and give you a higher sense of appreciation for the processes of nature and mother earth. This will be done regardless of belief; it does not change your personal preferences. If anything, you will come out of the experience with a much deeper love for your religion because your God gave you this opportunity to see how nature communicates, you are commenting here out of curiosity, perhaps a yearning for more knowledge, this medicine can give you that, and you will forever be grateful, it is an experience that will be the closest thing to death you have ever felt, but also the most beautiful. If you want to visit God, you must first die, then what he will show you is a masterpiece behind our reality. When you wake, depression is not an issue, but you see things differently going forward. What is depressing is when you see things differently, you also see what humans are doing to this planet and how we are disturbing a million years of peace in nature just to exist. This is the price one must pay for seeing raw beauty I guess.

    Listening to this I think that Ayahuasca should not be exported but rather be experienced in the Amazon Rain Forest as one of the participants has recommended. The plants grow in that region for a reason. Exporting puts this vital medicine in the hands of inexperienced individuals who could con people. You don't want thus gift from God to be abused, and in effect discourage people from going to experience and heal which would also mean that the traditional healers loose out on much needed income to survive. I sm planning to go in 2022 as I suffer from debilitating anxiety and major depression. I work really hard at it with meditation which has helped hugely, but I believe that Ayahuasca will help me greatly. I need my life back

    " I" is the divine consciousness itself which is always connected to this present moment. Being, aware of itself is Presence. Pure 'I' = Being = Presence. Where we trip up is thinking that this 'i' of personality , that comes and goes, that rises and falls , is the one that "I" am. Hence some tuning and some insights always worth a look. One may start with Rupert Spiria's notion of " Being aware of being aware". It allows one a simple time out , a pause , to note that Awareness has this ability to survey itself. Herein lies the clue.

    From having effectively used common herbs for healing for decades, I have this feeling arising in me of late: Perhaps just growing the herbs itself might have a healing effect. It is not necessary to "consume" it. In one of the two epics of India, the Raamaayana, there is a scene where the Divine Monkey Hanooman brings the peak of a mountain (he was in a hurry and had no time to identify the proper herbs) where many miraculously healing herbs grew and as he reached the sky above where the wounded warriors lay almost as if they were dead, the fragrances of the plants wafted into their noses and they all woke up with new life. The Monkey Hero did not even have to land, and he flew back and replaced the peak in tact on top of the mountain. That scene has remained with me as the most sublimely non-violent use of the healing herbs where neither the plants nor the ecosystem was consumed or damaged. I do still effectively use herbs, but hope that I can move to a stage where the consumption, which involves violent taking, can be avoided but the effects still be received thanks to the compassion of the natural world. I know this sounds utopian, but there might be more instances of this type of non-violent use of the herbal world in all cultures.

For me, and i believe this is normal, one finds deep healing, but upon returning to life/work/home, one starts to slip back into old toxic patterns. Emotional patterns. So I'd go back for 3 more ceremonies. Luckily i have a close and dear friend i was working with and he's got a gift for facilitating. Eventually with lots of integration work and willpower and Aya, i replaced toxic emotional patterns with healthy ones. I'm eternally grateful for that hard-earned upgrade in my quality of life. Inner peace is priceless, especially after decades of anxiety and anger.

    I was blessed enough to experience plant medicine (aya) in 2018 and it helped me release so much depression. My life is completely different for the good. I will always support plant medicine and be part of the community on education. I wish the hole world could experience plant medicine.

    I've taken 3 times, on two occasions I kept seeing gigantic golden pyramid and machine Elves, I'm not sure why I was shown the same thing twice during my 2 journeys. I am still searching for the answer to that. It was very humbling experience, as I learned how to face the fear and negativity and enabled me to address them. I definitely see everything in life differently now. I never felt so connected to the nature and the whole Universe before, and now I do. My sensory completely being upgraded including my biological system and my mind and spirit. The last occasion was not as powerful as two occasions but I saw the machine elf, and the same process as the others in going through the purification process until I found the bliss at the end. Over all it was amazing experience, and I would consider doing it again going into the familiar rollercoaster journey.

    I’ve learned after about 20 years of wondering similar things- “why did I see THAT? What does it MEAN?!”- that trying to analyze such things to the point where it frustrates me is counter-intuitive. Sometimes the lesson is relinquishing control to a higher power and abandoning the need to intellectually dissect mystical experiences. Perhaps what you saw is simply the scenery somewhere and was not meant to be symbolic to you specifically? I wanted to reply because I identify with how you’re feeling, and I wish someone had suggested these things to me when I was younger. Best of luck!

A lot of " inorganic" beings aren't capable of Astral Projecting, they actually need this, which is sad because when u emit more - than + energy, you become an inorganic being. There's a binaural by " Eric Bartel," it's only an hour long but it's amazing!! It can put you in a " hypnogogic" state within 35-45 minutes. Namaste!!

No one should be forced to accept believing that lying, deception, exploitation or crimes of violence are good. And the truth should not be with held based on the fear that it will destroy the fabric of society. thanks . "Namaste"

I come from your present and future past, from all that you have been, and from your hopes and dreams. I have been calling you for a long time, but your ears were deaf to my song. Perhaps you have found your way to me after a dark night of the soul. I cannot promise to deliver you into the light, I can only show you the doors that you have always avoided by your fears, everything from that point is up to you. I can sit with you, for a while, as you learn to light your own candles. And it is possible that your night will get darker still, and that you will need to carry many candles before the dawn appears.I am the flesh and the spirit of the sacred wisdom of the earth, of the plants, animals and birds, of the moon and of all the stars, which I reflect back to you in your own visions. I am the Holy Spirit. I am the stuff of dreams and visions and Light, even though sometimes in me you can see only your own nightmares. I am the mirror of your soul, I am the mirror of the soul of ages, and the soul of the ageless. When you behold me, you enter the realm of the bardo, of your own symbolic death; the death of your Ego, the death of all your stories about yourself that blind you. And in that realm it is not external beings that you will see - (although at some point after several ceremonies with me, after I help you shed all your illusions and fears, I will allow you to meet the Angels and enter the heavenly realms) . What you encounter are your own heights and abysses, your shadows and projections. Your creations. I am the mirror that is calling you to stop running and to turn around. To face your own evasions and to witness the countless ways in which you've learned to hide. So that you can better know yourself. In the end, you must become your own healers and shamans. I will make you work like you have never worked before. The only real journey that ever really existed, that can exist, and the only real journey that will ever exist, is the journey deep within yourself. This is where I take you. My sacrament will be the most difficult and challenging experiences of your life, yet nothing in the Universe can ever be more rewarding. I can only walk with you, for a while, and hold your hand. But the journey is yours to make. And it is a journey you must repeat. It will take you from illusion to reality, from the consensus trance of a mad society, to the sanity and stillness of your heart. And from the death of lifetimes of quiet desperation, to the immortality of an instant. Let us share our visions, together. My dear children, the rooms in your house are a chaos. The house of your soul and the house of the earth on which you tread your feet, not lightly. I cannot put those rooms right for you. I cannot be a mother/father that admonishes you, with a stern voice of authority, to clean your rooms, under the threat of punishment or the promise of reward. That is not how Mother Holy Spirit speaks. I can tell you, with a voice that echoes the vibrations of love and understanding, and the melancholy of quiet sorrow: look at the huge mess you have made. Are you happy dwelling in this chaos, where it is difficult to encounter yourself? Difficult to find your belongings, where all your toys lay scattered and buried under the rubble of madness and folly? Can you not see that if you choose to clean your own rooms, not because of any compulsion or promise, but just so, for yourself, and in this present moment, which is all you can ever know of time, then you will be able to breathe better, to move around more easily, and to learn how to play? Once more. There are so many lost treasures beneath the mess you have made. I reveal the doors within yourself to Find them. My dear ones, my lost children of darkness and light. You see the cosmos as a stage on which the drama of good and evil is played out. You dream of a sword of light that would conquer and vanquish all the darkness. And you have made the whole world into a projection of the battlefield of your own Soul. You fight, endlessly, against the monsters and demons within yourselves. But those demons are the wounded inner children of your past, they are your pains and your defenses, they are the voices that could not emerge into the light and learned to live in forgotten caves. They are your insanity. They are you. And those others who you rage against, because of their ignorance, and immorality and ugliness… they are also you. Lay down your weapons and embrace your enemies, the enemies that live within you. Haven't you understood - no battle is ever won. They are not even fought. The battlefield only reveals your own folly and despair, and victory is the illusion of philosophers and fools. My dear ones, Let us share visions, together. I am the Spirit of Spirits. I am the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit of the Universe. This moment is all you can ever know of time." - Mother Ayahuasca. "Fear of Self means you never live" Although each persons experience on Ayahuasca is unique, there are some commonalities that show up again and again. These include: -experiencing pure love and wisdom. -entering another realm more real than what we experience day-to-day on earth (in other words the 5th and 7th dimensions of Spirit that is everywhere all the time, far beyond our 3rd dimensional physical existence, yet the higher dimensions are right here all at the same time, and most importantly, these dimensions are within you !)-realizing we are all one (separation is total illusion, and how everything is connected is impossible to describe because it's infinite connections. The only way to know it is to experience it, and BE IT ). -fear of death eliminated, as you realize this is a temporary existence for your soul to grow and learn. -everything is conscious. -entering a realm where space and time no longer exist, everything is infinite and in the ‘now’. (the infinite now of the 5th and 7th dimensions of light, where no time and no illusions can exist) -experiencing unconditional love through every cell of your being, on a level we don’t have words to describe. -having access to all information in the universe instantly. Realizing we in our human bodies will never fully grasp all there is, reality is far more complex than we could ever imagine. -reliving past experiences of your life (and sometimes past lives as you are connected to Soul memory, not the mind memory of your false ego), first from your perspective, then from the other persons perspective. We get to feel how we made them feel. This is for us to learn, not as a punishment. -there is no punishment in this realm, even if you have a ‘bad’ experience. The ayahuasca is teaching you a valuable lesson, it’s up to you to learn from it. -digging up past traumas buried deep in our subconscious, bringing them to the surface and helping us face them and get over them. -a love for all living beings (people and animals). Many people eat less meat, go vegetarian/vegan or eat more fruit and vegetable following the experience. -giving up on the material world, many people change their field of work to one that help others rather than focusing on making money for oneself. -realizing that we are not here to accumulate money or physical possessions, we are here to help one another, love one another and grow. -during the experience the ego is removed, revealing your true self. -realizing everything is energy vibrating at different frequencies. -feeling of your pineal gland (3rd eye) being sore for a day or two after, like a muscle worked out for the first time. -meeting other beings far more intelligent than any human and being able to telepathically communicate with them. The truth is, All the ascended masters in every religion were Shamans, who had many direct Spiritual experiences with Sacred Entheogen Plants. Since the first religion the "Rig Veda" of India. The divine sacred Plant Entheogens are our true teachers, always have been and always will be. What I absolutely love about Ayahuasca is she has such a perfect Universal design to only pull in people who have an extremely deep love for Truth. The Spiritual Warriors. She leaves out the insincere who have too short of a barrier of courage. She has such a perfect barometer and threshold for every human being on the planet. In other words, if a religious person who has been totally brainwashed by all the lies of churches, sees the ceremonies are done at night, and sees some snakes in some Ayahuasca Art, and sees it will be difficult at the beginning to face their Ego, they will immediately run away by their silly superstitions and illusions. Totally owned by all their fears. LOL. And totally ignoring the enlightenment and infinite revelations aspect later. Becoming absolute Truth to them is not worth it. And then on the other hand, someone who is into the occult garbage and into dark energies, will not want to take Ayahuasca either, because they will learn that Ayahuasca eventually leads to Enlightenment.
