      Sean Champion-Taylor Spiritual means you believe in something more, whether it be a higher power, after-life, god, the universe being alive. It just basically means you believe in more then what you can perceive with just your 5 senses.
      Usually the difference between someone who identifies as spiritual and religious. Is a religious person usually gets their form of spirituality through a church or other people, not from them-self. While a person who is just spiritual, believes that it is just between them and the universe.
      I am the latter.

    Many of my "Christian" friends are on a crusade against Ayahuasca.

    Every Ayahuasca experience is personal and unique. Set and setting, positivity of the group and dynamics, quality, experience and intentions of your Shaman, Icaros and quality of the medicines affect the experience. Hearing other people's experiences creates awareness, but doesn't mean you will have the same experience. Seek healing, the truth and authentic Shamanic Healing Journeys, not the promises of visions

      Finally, someone used the words that first came into my head when watching this talk..... “Set and Setting “ with Set being your interior mindset at the time, and Setting, which is the exterior around you, place, people etc. so if you are in a bad mood and in a place or location where you don’t feel safe, you are more likely to have a bad trip. If you are in a place of peace and with people you trust, you are more likely to have a good trip. Set and Setting!

    I had a disease called dystonia I was going mad trying to beat. It’s similar to Parkinson’s disease but I wanted my life back so bad I kept pushing through the ticks doctors tell you not to fight.
    Around the time I was starting to get somewhere I took ayahuasca a handful of evenings. The most powerful experience shut down the movement disorder and I was able to experience the same sensations that cause dystonic movements while the illness was unable to figure out how to do its thing. From this place I dug in deep and learned I shake (tremor) because of fear. Fear of pain. I worked on my perception of pain, making it a rule that pain should only serve to show me where something is out of place.
    These experiences did something drastic to my illness. The pain did not come back the same way, instead it transformed into something actually helpful. That was about a month ago. Everyday it takes less effort to accomplish more and more. Yesterday I deadlifted 300 pounds! For about a week I’ve been thinking I could get a pet time job no trouble now and plan to start putting in applications in about 2 weeks so long as things keep on going the way they have been!

    Without drugs, but through remote viewing protocol meditations and other meditations, I have had some of these experiences, the clarity of vision, the colors, the depth and dimensionality, even the purge effect. One teacher laughingly told me, the 60’s were good to you! But i didn’t use drugs then either. I got information that I could not have, but did. I saw visions of the future, but did not understand them. Only in hindsight did they make complete and accurate sense. My fear held me back from seeking answers at the times, especially regarding the future. The past is not nearly as hard to face when i have strong intention of healing myself. More, I am required to be humble as I see events of the past from other perspectives beyond my own limited memory of them. Innocence, ignorance, misunderstanding, denial of culpability, anger with others, anger with situations prevent clarity. Letting go attachment to what I think or think i remember is another humbling requirement. Also, have compassion for oneself as well as others, no matter what is revealed. This is Earth School 101, lessons upon lessons, and hopefully evolution of spiritual life.

    Welcome to Native American psychology. Further proof that our ancestors were advanced scientists. They had to perform analysis and studies to find the plants to combine to produce ayahuasca. It wasn't created by accident. They had to use the "scientific method" to derive our medicines and medicinal practices.

    • @leilanilight475
      @leilanilight475 4 года назад +31

      Jose Carcamo no. The indigenous will tell you that the PLANTS themselves told them to take the vine and the chacruna leaf and to boil them together and make the brew. They were and are ONE WITH NATURE and they LISTEN to what nature tells them. This is how they formed a library of plants that heal different things in the Amazon.

    • @squirlmy
      @squirlmy 4 года назад +9

      It wasn't created by accident, for sure. There are at least hundreds of thousands of plants in the Amazon, and they found just the right combination of natural MOA Inhibitor, and DMT containing plant. Not to mention having to find whether the flowers, bark, leaves or roots had the right ingredient, and whether orally, topically, or other "routes of administration" were required. And that vomiting and purging were a desireable part of the process, rather than indicating a poisonous nature (which would be the obvious conclusion of trying nearly any other "tea") The "scientific method" alone does not explain this discovery. I think it would be more correct to say that our scientists are extremely primitive "shamans" than the other way around.

    The Mother Vine gives you he truest knowledge of yourself. The experience can be harsh, the way a severe mother teaches a child, but it’s done with the purest intentions. Only one correction: the Tambo is the hut where you sleep at night, the ceremonial Hut is called Maloca. Also, the part of the vine that it’s used is not the bark, but what inside, the core of the vine, which is like smaller vines interwoven as to recreate human DNA

    • @adambrot

Whereas Adam Oliver Brown, although taking away negative stigma for psychedelics, and using the language of recreational drugs along with that of science, doesn't have the same impact or far reaching implications.

    Psylocibin is also a very good plant for your consciousness...i did both here in Brazil... ahyuasca is a stronger experience in every sense, more intense...
    You people who are paying for ahyuasca be aware of the people who are providing intention. If your shaman has duality in their mind, the trip maybe more unstable.
    And go to meditation...do something like the vypassana course and do it everyday..ahyuasca can cure, but education and discipline is something for everyday in our lives.. the ill mentality of not seeing we are not separate from nature...and the ill mentallity of wanting to obtain a certain drug ( so you can be happy forever) its ignorance.

    Don't let his account make you think you know what Ayahuska is. His account is personal and is different for everyone. Each time you take it is different depending on what you need at that time. It will heal you and make you more whole. It's as if it is reconnecting the fragmented soul that comes from being human. I did it 20 years ago in Brazil and several times since and it changed me for the better in a profound way and showed me what was most important. I stopped because I felt strongly that it was done with me. If you are called to do it and are emotionally stable and strong enough do it. If you have doubts stay away. BTW it was never terrifying for me only very intense in a beautiful and loving way that can't be described. Always do it with an experienced shaman and stay away from commercial hucksters catering to tourists. I've done it both ways. The latter is dangerous.

    It's useful, because it'll push you to do positive things in your life, like quitting smoking or drinking, exercising, dieting, meditation, healthy and wholesome living. What ayawaska does is taking you through death and showing that everything is connected. It's scary because it so vast all-inclusive encompassing, dissolving all your boundaries and self-images (that's why it's so absolutely scary, not because of vomiting, although vomiting plays its role too :) It won't solve your problems, but it will definitely show you a totally different outlook on things and yourself. It's not magic, but the closest thing to it.

    It used to be difficult to put this in writing but not any longer so here goes.... After lifelong depression, child abuse, addiction, etc, I went through an awakening. But some traumas still haunt me. No matter how much I write, feel, face it head-on, I can't shake the depression. It always lingers. I've been looking into ways to fix myself so I can stop bleeding on those that didn't cut me. Psilocybin mushrooms are on my radar as well as this drug. I need to be brought behind the curtain ...i need to face the darkness that still cuts me.
    Maybe I should head to Peru.......

    I think that he presents a forimible point. An educated, relatively healthy individual uncovered soemthing he was able to deal with and grasp.
    Which has never really been the problem. It is where the 5 or 10% of the cases that people ingest that can't handle the fear, or the bugs, or whatever is qued up that causes a person to seek to stop the ride, now that is the hurdle that psychadelics face.
    It is not predictable or controllable, and might worsen the conditions for some cases.
    I hope that someday we discover ways to help that, to ease the fright, to make it dependable. To usher in new techniques.

      people need to have a way to know whether or not they are ready for psychedelics. that's hard to tell.

    I have seen the insects that he was discussing on psilocybin and they were primarily beetles and inside of those beetles, I could make out other patterns. I have even seen the alien archetype. The first time I saw this mental being, I became afraid because it surprised me. It resembles a lotus flower and as I was moving into the mandala, the lotus began to open more and more, inviting me to come closer and closer. I could never get to the lotus being but I found it almost as a game of chase. Very interesting stuff. The most I have taken is 2.2 grams on an empty stomach. I do not think I would go as high as 3.5 even though the heroic dose is always in the back of my mind. These organic chemicals are teaching tools in my opinion. I found that understanding the septenary nature of man as described by the Eastern Mahatmas has helped me tremendously in my experiences. Its as if it connects you directly with your soul and works out things through the vehicles from which the soul controls the body. The constitution of man is described in two sections: A triad that is immortal and moves on from body to body and a lower quarternary that is impermanent. According to the teaching the higher triad consists of:
    #7. ATMA - The Divine Part
    #6. BUDDHI - The Spiritual Part
    #5. MANAS - The Intellectual Part
    then to the impermanent parts:
    #4. KAMA - The Passional Part
    #3. PRANA - The Vital Part
    #2. LINGA SHARIRA - The Astral Part
    #1. STHULA SHARIRA - The Physical Part
    For more information on these, you can read some of Blavatsky's works or Manly P Halls works. Very interesting stuff and even though this could never be proven from a scientific standpoint, it is a framework that allows us to understand our constitution and how we grow and unfold through time.

      And to say that our intestine has a defense mechanism against it is a bit simplified. Our intestine is constantly flooded with serotonin and it uses MAO to break it down. Thats why we humans have MAO, why bugs dont have it is a question I cant answer.

They say the plants can communicate with them after they enter a dream-like state which allows them access to the spirit world that presides right alongside ours. Look into some youtube documentaries about Shamans to hear the way they experience life and how they are able to consistently help their fellow villagers. It's the oldest way of life for humans, so my suggestion is to suspend your disbelief for at least while they share their methods and beliefs.

    Great talk, mostly spot on about Ayahuasca, but there is some misinformation. The brewing process is way more complex and ritualistic than that, and the thick Ayahuasca he came across in his ritual is actually a result of a process we call "graduation". The first result of the brewing is actually a very liquid, light brown Ayahuasca. There are a few other inaccuracies there, but great talk!!!

I've also never taken drugs for my anxiety or ADHD because research has led me to believe that they don't work very well and/or have pretty negative side effects.
