|
| He’s got clout
|
| But what draws people to ayahuasca again and again
|
| To brace themselves for this experience
|
| And you do have to brace yourself
|
| Is it’s extraordinary effect at the level of consciousness
|
| And one of those effects has to do with creativity
|
| And we can see the creative cosmogenic impulse of ayahuasca in the paintings of
|
| ayahuasca shamans
|
| As these paintings show another universal experience of ayahuasca
|
| The encounter with seemingly intelligent entities which communicate with us
|
| telepathically
|
| I’m making no claim one way or another as to the reality status of these
|
| entities we encounter
|
| Simply that, phenomenologically, in the ayahuasca experience, they are
|
| encountered by people all over the world
|
| And most frequently of all
|
| The spirit of ayahuasca herself
|
| Mother Ayahuasca
|
| Who is a healer
|
| Mother Ayahuasca
|
| Who is a healer
|
| And although she’s kind of the mother goddess of the planet
|
| She seems to take a direct personal interest in us as individuals to heal our
|
| ills, to want us to be the best that we can possibly be
|
| To correct errors and mistakes in our behavior that may be leading us down the
|
| wrong path
|
| And this is perhaps why ayahuasca has been fantastically successful
|
| In getting people off
|
| Harmful addictions to hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine
|
| Jacques Mobbit of the Takiwasi clinic in Peru
|
| Brings heroine and cocaine addicts out there for a month, gives them twelve
|
| ayahuasca sessions
|
| They have encounters with Mother Ayahuasca during those sessions
|
| That lead them not to wish to take heroin or cocaine anymore
|
| And more than half leave
|
| Completely free of their addiction, never return to it and don’t even have
|
| withdrawal symptoms
|
| The same incredible healing work was being done in Canada by doctor Gabor Matte
|
| Until the Canadian government intervened and stopped his healing practice on
|
| the grounds that ayahuasca itself was an illegal drug
