Sounds like that shaman almost did it intentionally. Like, one more blast off before I'm done. Dude went out with a BANG KAPOW!!! The shaman just didn't want to go there alone and took a small crowd with him. Hahaha!!!
Ayahuasca, LSD and psilocybin containing mushroom are amazing. I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with cptsd. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
I did ayahuasca once. One of the best experiences I’ve had, took me off depression medication. Doesn’t have to be in the Forrest, anywhere you’re truly comfortable.
are you still off it my friend? I am stepping off my ssri as we speak, its a blend of nervousness and excitement that I have my retreat coming up in about a month.
@@phonxeno8831 remember it just helps with the chemical Balance in your brain. At some point you will understand it’s all in your head. there’s more to life than what it was i was sad about. You’ll be dead in less than 100 years and the world will keep spinning, in death you will become nothing, returning to everything. Life is the experience you choose to make it. Doesn’t make sense not to make the choice to be happy, be appreciative. Challenge yourself to experience the things you want to experience. Life is about the experience. Good and bad, can’t have one without the other.
It's not wise to underestimate the power of mushrooms. For example, my brother used to call them "the fruits" and thought they were weak compared to DMT. But one day, we found a super potent strain that sent us into hyperspace. We took the same modest dose (3 grams each), but it felt like the mushrooms had something to prove to my brother. While I had one of the best experiences of my life, my brother barely made it through. It just goes to show that mushrooms can be way more than just introspection and feeling the music.
Yeah you can blast off on shroomies. I've eaten a whole ounce before(was about 3/4 dry) and it was insane and I did ketamine while peaking. I'm an Odinist and it was like the all father ripped me out of reality and showed me how the dimensions of reality breaks down at at least like 9 layers and he had me outside of that looking in and showed me that there were beings/entities too made up of or crossing through multiple layers and I had the impression he was showing me these were what we consider "gods" and whatnot himself being one of them. It was a very intense experience.
this guys account of ayauasca is very specific to him. please don’t think your experience will be the same. every person has a story and the medicine taps in to that. anyone with a remote interest in trying ayauasca should heed the call.
I just got back from a 3 day ceremony last week (which seems like just yesterday but also another lifetime ago) and I can tell you, it was the most intense and profound thing I’ve ever done. It’s painful and beautiful all at the same time. It was like I was being scolded by my mother followed by her warm loving embrace. The pain was the deepest and most soul-wrenching, ego-shattering experience ever, but the love was a love that I didn’t even know existed or that I was even capable of. I’m truly humbled by the power of the medicine! It has given me so much clarity and has opened my eyes to so many truths about myself and this world. Heavy stuff and Best week of my life!
You have been deceived. God did not give you a spirit of drunkenness, wherein is excess, and you are easily taken advantage of. God, your perfect maker, gave you a sound, sober mind. He does not require an altered state to reveal himself to you, as your so called “mother” does. This is what rapists require of their victims. The Lord our God and Father is desperately seeking you. Please, brother, repent and trust Christ.❤
@@liabw05 don't listen to Ben he's been brainwashed. Ayahuasca truly is an amazing experience, you'll experience geniune love out there, not the two faced bullshit the bible spews out. Go for it girl
@@BenVanCamp you sound like one of the religious nuts I’ve been trying to run away from all my life. God can be found through different ways and practices. Please don’t act like you know the “only way”. This medicine, when used correctly, with the right intentions and in the right atmosphere, can be very good and saves many lives. Please go away with your negativity and extremism.
Ayahuasca is one of the most incredible things I've done in my life. Don't get me wrong it made me face some deep rooted fears which were awful but it also made me feel love like I've never felt before, as if gold was radiating from my heart. Having a shaman sing seemed to help too and just made the experience all the more special
As for me I think it's profoundly sad that so many people want to poison themselves with this shit because they find life unsatisfying and are unable to make those connections intellectually. Listening to accounts such as this one in the video makes me glad I never made such a choice. I can wake up from a night of bad dreams feeling grateful I'm "back" in what passes for normal reality and I suppose grateful for the insights my own subconscious has offered me. You can keep every hallucinogen out there, I'm good.
@@Raygo. I think it's oversimplification to think people do it because they find life unsatisfying. I've never done a hallucinogen, but it seems fascinating. Some people are curious about our reality and want to explore another side that's hidden to us in our regular state. People are searching for the answer to life and the universe. Escapists look for any drug; these people are looking for enlightenment.
@@S5King7 But why is it believable that hallucinations reveal "another side that's hidden to us in our regular state"? To me it seems more like a kind of madness is unleashed, when the brain is destabilized by the toxins and normal consciousness breaks down. Personally, I cannot accept that "enlightenment" comes from drug-induced delirium.
The feeling of gratitude afterwards that he describes is one of the most beautiful things one could eve experiences, it makes you realize that nothing is important, only feeling being around your people and friends and chiling with everyone, that's the thing we need to feel happy and fullfilled in life.
Ayahuasca showed me that there is only one being in existence. There is nothing outside of it and it never had a beginning. It cannot choose to not exist but it becomes unconscious and experiences different dimensions and illusions of separation in order to escape the true reality of eternal existence. But the ultimate theme it taught me was that everything and nothing are the same thing. Nothing exists because existence is impossible, therefore everything exists. Both are the same.
When someone says “I wanna see where my mind breaks.” I can almost guarantee they’ll have an extremely challenging trip. You’ll get exactly what you ask for.
Lex says it like some edgy teenager who doesn't know what the fuck he's getting into. The interviewee was even like "....no. This isn't some ice plunge." He could tell Lex has no idea what he's talking about.
Yup. For my intention I said I wanted to end distractions in my life and I thought i was doing myself a favor but boy oh boy that was a tough journey. Forever grateful nonetheless. I eagerly await my next journey
Exactly you need to just let it flow through you.....what all hallucinogenics do to different degrees of intensity is shut off your consciousness's filter we develope a filter from very early in the womb because our senses take in millions of bites of information every second and it's hard to process so we develope a filter tripping turns that filter way down and sometimes off and the worst thing you can do is fight it you just have to let it flow through you
@S. Just don't fight it let it flow through you....from the time your in the womb your conscious mind develops a filter because your sense is taking so many bytes of information every second that you can't consciously process it all hallucinogens turn that filter off so it opens you up to everything you usually miss to some it's overwhelming and they fight it and try to turn their filter back on but can't......once it's off you just have to understand it's all your perception and just let go and not try to control what your senses are taking in
Done both multiple times. Mushroom can take you there too it just depends on how much you take it. And you don't have to be in a jungle. If it happens, it happens. It doesn't matter where you're sitting You're going somewhere else.
I was thinking the same. If you take a heroic dose of mushrooms its the same as a huge hit of dmt. When i took my heroic dose of shrooms i was atoms being smashed together, then i was a sun smashing into another sun, then i was snow being smashed together, then a water molecule falling down a plug hole, it was a never ending rebirth of all these different things for hours amd hours. I then woke up naked in the hall outside my flat! Hahaha. Smaller amounts ive met entities and aliens though
@@stu7610I've consumed DMT 4 times and tons of mushroom doses, however I once consumed 6g of mushrooms. Both were completely different, however the strongest trip was my 2nd DMT trip. I saw what death "was like" (according to my mind, perhaps it's just what i wanted to see). I hopefully will travel to Brazil or Peru in 2024 in order to try ayahuasca.
Yeah, I've done 10G dried, and it was pretty unbelievable. I've been to "the place" several times on a few different things top shelf stuff. Lucy is more like futuristic space aliens stuff. Caps is Mother Earth Aztec signs and a familiar feeling....Craaaazy stuff, though. And DMT was just too much I was just happy to be normal again lol
With mushrooms it's like doing a trip to Safari. 3 to5 G is like watching on a high definition TV 5 to 10 g it's like being there but driving inside vehicle 10 to 20 g is like packing a backpack and a gun and being on foot by yourself surrounded by all the wildlife, you just don't know until you try it. Mushrooms been around on this planet long long before any ayahuasca or any plant or animal. If not mushrooms there would be no Ayahuasca or humans. There is definitely some higher intelligence in them or some kind of message encoded. Mushroom spores can survive travel in space, something to think about it.
@@chrisnagorka2776 love Aya but the problem for me is "entertainment" of music etc Love shrooms. Will do my first 6g after last 5.5 . I'm so curious what it's like on 10 or 20! Can't wait, but I'm the kind of person going there slowly every few months. So by the time I'll pass 10 , it will be like two years 😂😂😂
As someone who has visited Grandmother 68 times I can confirm a couple of things: you will be humbled, and you will be healed. Oh and btw, i've not done it in the jungle, so i guess i don't know anything. lol.
I think the lack of light pollution and being surrounded by millions of living organisms vs just a crowded city might be the deciding difference between the 2 experiences. I'm more curious doing it out in the ocean, obviously with people that can ensure your safety but I'd be curious how the tiny organisms in the water and lack of light nor land will affect it.
I've done both. The jungle is unique and special, but it's quite arrogant to say it doesn't count unless done in the jungle. I've had beautiful experiences outside of the jungle.
I think it goes beyond a "dedication to curiosity." I think it has more to do with a primordial calling, of what one came here to do. And that the fearlessness comes from knowing that the Universe has your back in the endeavor, because it is that very endeavor that the universe sent you here for in the first place.
It's bullshit that you need to be in the jungle. Where you are and who you are is irrelevant. They are both simple constructs and boundaries that as mckenna famously said are dissolved by the experience
@@everything777 yeah honestly id way prefer to just do it at home. doing it with a bunch of random people you dont know in a place you're not familiar with doesn't sound like a good time to me.
They use to put weed in the smoke incent for Christian masses so never mind the people that say it sounds like a cult. I think dmt is needed in church to reset a person right. I would have made a lot less mistakes in my life if I did it in church
Aya isn’t about the jungle, it’s the earth. It’s profoundly universal. None of what he describes is unusual. Aya is a medicine to be experienced many times. Through that continuity one enters into relationship w the earth - beyond the human.
Exactly, it should be done in nature but it's stupid to think you have to buy a plane ticket to a certain part of the world to experience what's intended
Your state of mind will be wherever you are. I have no doubt the Jungle is the craziest place to take it. What do you think you senses feels when THE RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE is on? Compared to the nature in every other part of the world. I know you "leave" our thought of the world - but it will still affect where you go from where you are. You hear birds, monkeys, rizzling bushes - you're ACTUALLY totally disconnected from our world, but connected to the EARTH. I rumble, but my point stands: NO PLACE TO TAKE DRUGS LIKE DEEP IN THE JUNGLE. NON.
"And in our culture, if you hear voices we have mental hospitals for you. If you are able to see vast visions of the future, we have drugs that you know, can calm you down." - Terence McKenna
I did ayahuasca at a place in Costa Rica called rythmia. Totally changed my life, had a full blown out of body experience and gave me unfathomable insight about the universe.
Rythmia is a for profit Western based center and not an authentic shamanic center... it is most like the one the Self Help American Gurus have invested interest on them.... People like Deepa Chopra and the like I mean $$.
Nice place. I first did mine in my own front living room. £15 expense. For some that might not be a good idea, I was thorough in my research and preparation. I believe there is an extra magic if you cook your own brew whilst focussing on your intentions. My ignorance was perfect in not even considering some would find my ceremony disrespectful. Yet at the heart of what I was doing was deeply honouring of the core essence of traditional ceremony yet in my own personalised way. I have learned for my own experience it’s not where and with who that holds the power in the experience with ayahuasca but the courage you bring to confront yourself once and for all. The courage to rip open your soul and observe who you really are.
@@ghagzor its tough to make yourself do a breakthrough dose since you have to do 3 big hits and by the time your are inhaling the second you are already slipping.l
It can’t be THAT life changing of everyone comes back and is basically the same exact person when they come back. Just with some new annoying story to tell everyone
I’ve done Aya 2x at the same place. The first time was the most intense. I drank 5x. The lessons and purging were intense. But the message I got is that we are all love and love is the universal vibration. The second time was when my Son was 8 months old. I only needed to drink 1x and the whole time I just felt the most intense love for my Baby. Unexplainable. It brought me to uncontrollable sobbing. I rode the waves and welcomed all she brought without resistance until finally right at the very end when the lights came on and everyone was done with their journey, I purged hard. Aya brought me to God.
That’s beautiful man. I’ve got a 3 year old and a 6 week old…I totally get it. It takes bravery to go to that place-but it can show us what we take for granted and bring us more presence with our loved ones
well...i cant definitively say that the luv stuff isnt really a happenin in this earthly realm though. much more pain, suffering, misery than luv going on. always has been, and im guessing always will be. it could be much better for many here if the folks at the top of the pyramid would simply lighten up some. but they wont, b/c they relish in controlling, enslaving, and hurting people on a mass scale.
Dude… as someone who has done Ayahuasca twice I can say that drinking 5 times is fucking epic! Unless you drank VERY FAST I can’t understand how your body dealt with that much medicine. Your trip must have been ……
Just sharing that I had a serious drinking problem in my twenties. Couldn’t stop. My brothers and I went to the Utah desert and took LSD. I’d never taken it, and I took a bunch over a weeks time. To say that it was profound is an understatement. Within the next few months, I stopped drinking and smoking pot completely with no cravings whatsoever. After 25 years, I decided to drink and smoke again. Bad idea? Well it’s ten years later, and I’m fine. No cravings. Happy family life, fun times, difficult times…no matter. No residual addiction effects. My gen x peers and I suffered immensely under a corrupt drug war that made the cure for the problem illegal. Perhaps a future in politics should require a minimum of one psychedelic experience before claiming the throne. 🐾💕
@@jmoney1941 Hi, just to clarify, I took one tab a day for 5 days. I don’t know how strong they were. But it was like everything slowed down gradually over the week. Then on the last day, I was watching a cloud pass over a peak thinking to myself, my life is going to be ruined, I’ll never be able to stop drinking. It’s too powerful. Then a voice, or some feeling, said, “yes you can, just do it.” And that was it. The craving was gone. Vaporized. It wasn’t even a big deal. In fact, it was almost humorous. Like a Nike commercial. That’s what impressed me the most. It was like it had been waiting for me to ask. I hope that makes sense.
This man's arrogance is extremely off putting. Starts off saying the only place to do ayahuasca is the jungle, despite the fact that he hasn't done it outside of the jungle to compare. Then goes on to describe what seems like a very poorly run ceremony?? His ego yelling "my experience was more authentic and better than yours" shows he doesn't really get the essence of Ayahuasca..
I've communed with grandfather over 70 times, grandmother 68x and mushrooms at least 44x. There is a qualitative difference between the experiences and no real hierarchy. That said, grandmother is special. There's an innate intelligence to her ability to identify exactly what you need to heal and learn and she goes right there. Every. Single. Time. That is remarkable to me. Miraculous.
I find dmt in its pure form does the same. It is remarkable. Something is very special about it’s Union with us humans, it feels fundamental. Probably cuz it is. I hope to do aya some day at the right time
I've only journeyed with La Madre four times, and not in the jungle (although in a forest at least.) I'm afraid what Paul experienced was basically an overdose. My very last ceremony was pretty scary, but full of teaching. It felt like I was being invited somewhere that I wasn't ready to go, so the fear came in my resistance. In the end, she gently let me go and told me that she would show me when I was ready. Even then, when I was holding on to my shaman's chant for dear life (even she told me it was a heavy batch,) I still felt the overwhelming love that comes with the visitation, and the gratitude that inevitably pours out of me for receiving that unconditional, universal love. The kind I didn't get when I was growing up. Anyway, kudos to Paul for all he does to help stave off the destruction of the Earth's ultimate life engine. I need to get down there soon while I still have a stomach for adventure.
What he's describing is ego death which is something I see every now and then pop up. His description of "feeling like an animal" is exactly how I thought it would feel. Turns you into an autonomous bug brain thing.
Took a tab a few years ago that was similar to this. It started like a euphoric high youd get on shrooms with the warm feelings, uncontrollable laughter and intense light tracing. Then you really get into it and its lasts like 12 hours. One point in the night i wondered into the bathroom and sat on the toilet with the lid down. It was a white-tiled bathroom. My eyes slid to the corner , on the floor, where the tub makes a natural corner. I saw what it would look like if humans ceased to exist. It started with simple weeds and grass and grew before me until the entire room looked like it returned to the forest. It was a time lapse that started with dull white and ended with bright greens and browns . It was intense. Its a rollercoaster for sure because your high forever. You really experience some really mind blowing highs and feel interconnected to low lows where youre laying in bed and catch glimpses of demons shadows flying across your ceiling.
I had somewhat of a similar experience where the shamans made the brew too strong and many people in the group left the next day. They were all terrified and shook up. I was plunged into the most frightening experience of my life and it was beyond horrific. The next couple of times I did it, it was not near as bad because they used a less potent brew.
@@elChulachaki yeah they probably put toe or whatever in it. All I know is that everyone was freaking out and having bad trips. That was in Ecuador and the Shamens were indigenous people too.
@@GavinDuncan391 it is very difficult for me to write this experience down on a TH-cam comment box. Let’s just say for sake of being short, I went face to face with torturous eternal hell and a being who some know as Yaldabaoth. It was a being who has a body of a feathered serpent with the head of a dragon mixed with a lion and I was suspended in air in a tunnel of sorts trying with all my might to fly up and out. The experience was more real than this realm and the pain was unbearable and there was no escape. The being overpowered me in every way, it knew my thoughts and shocked me with immense pain every time I tried to rest so that I could not rest from trying to escape. I had never imagined there could be such a terrible thing as what I experienced. It took me years but I eventually found Jesus Christ as my savior. Now I know I am saved by Christ so I will not ever have to go back there. There is more but that was the worst of it.
This is a good one, that's crazy, really real, two men, sitting, talking about those places you only really understand when you're there and their curiosity about these places. Much love.
Graham Hancock said something that has stayed in my mind and that is that there are 50,000 or more species of plants in the Amazon and somehow a plant and the root of a vine were put together and processed in a very complex way to have the ayahuasca concoction due its duty. Think about that! The chances of putting those two plants together are astounding.
think about how many plants they mixed that had 0 effect or bad effects before they found the right ones, probably took a long time before someone figured it out.
This seems like it's fake news just based off of my common sense. There's many more plants that contain DMT itself. The monoamine oxidase inhibitor is the key find. So it ups the chances of getting a dmt brew considerably. There's likely been many shittier DMT brews with different DMT sources in the past until they got the current version with chacruna as the DMT source.
@@GamingTakesPride GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. You could very well be right. What is astounding is how they have to brew the root for hours and add the plant and do all kinds of chemistry-like things to end up with the right mixture. It was most likely trial and error, but it is still amazing how those two plants produce such a potent substance.
@@conorhennell2623 well I mean, homo sapiens have been here for a while, between 13,000 to 180,000 years in between? If surviving from plants in that area still remains as a common habit, I'm guessing our species had plenty of time to play chemistry around
As someone who has done 42 ceremonies, in the jungle, in the span of 2 and 1/2 months, you do not want to experiment with seeing where your mind breaks. The purge of emotional and physical trauma that came in the following years was beyond destructive, in my case. Ayahuasca doesn't stop working when you leave the ceremony space. It's a life long process and once you commit, there is no turning back. I have many regrets and wish I would have done things differently but given the chance to change what happened, I don't think I would. I still don't understand why I feel that way. My point is that Ayahuasca is incredibly powerful and life changing, sometimes it can break the strongest of people who never end up coming back. I consider myself extremely lucky to have some kind of spiritual protection that pulled me out of the spiral I went into.
@@ThatHoosierKid17 everything can be harmful and Ayahuasca is no exception. Even if you don't face your trauma in the ceremony space, you will eventually face it. It's a very powerful medicine that continues to work even years after a couple of ceremonies. One of the problems with the plant medicine world, that I observed, is that so many people want to heal and ascend that there's a lot of encouragement to keep doing ceremonies. In my case, I was still young and wanted to change so badly that I followed whatever everyone else was doing. Even with extensive experience with psychedelics, nothing prepares you for how deep Ayahuasca goes. So I followed along and did a lot of ceremonies, a lot of plant dietas, purgatives and when I came out of the jungle, I did a lot of San Pedro in the Andes mountains. It was great at the time but I should have showed more control and mindfulness because the real trauma purge came much later after I had stopped all psychedelics and it almost drove me crazy. Imagine 15 years of hurtful, negative, and repressed emotions coming to the surface and being forced to face them all at once. What I'm trying to say is that the road to healing is a life long journey and it's important not to rush it because it will break your mind. It wasn't just me that this happened to. I also witnessed close friends all start to lose their shit in very different and terrifying ways. The worst I saw was a guy who traveled around from hostel to hostel, burning them down.
If too much unconscious material is experienced, more than the conscious mind is ready for, people can have psychotic breaks/psychosis. I hit the threshold of a psychotic break during my ceremonies, and it is truly terrifying. I am still recovering, getting a lot of support, and setting boundaries with the divine/my Higher Self, “No, I do not want to experience any more unconscious material right now, I need support, I will let you know when I’m ready.” Your physical, psychological, emotional regulation of your nervous system has to be considered. Anyway, I wouldn’t regret it. Just giving a word of caution- take care of yourself. We all want to “feel better” but usually it’s not about that, it’s about getting “better at feeling”. And that starts in the here and now, lucidly in the conscious, waking stage. Good luck and big hugs to all on the healing journey. I’m with you 💛.
i never done ayahuasca, but ive done 6 months of DMT, some of his descriptions are pretty similar to how i describe my experiences. i got to say its probably the most incredible thing ive ever experienced in my whole life, and i had a pretty eventful one at that
dmt and even toad venom is a really great experience, when it's smoked it gets metabolized within 20 minutes that's why the trips are pretty short. when you eat dmt your stomach enzymes dissolve it, but with ayahuasca the brew has an enzyme inhibitor that allows the dmt to be metabolized by your liver so it lasts several hours both are great experiences i hope you get to experience both one day
Having several family members with broken minds I urge you to tread carefully Lex. You are gambling that once your mind breaks, it will return to you unscathed, which is a pretty dangerous assumption.
It seems that it is something which cuts off connection of your perception from you central nervous system. Which means only your true *self* remains. And for the first time you realize that your self is the superficial construction. In short, it shows you the meaning of "I AM".
I do not doubt that having Ayahuasca outside of the Jungle could possibly work. But I can't imagine it not being tremendously better in every way in the jungle. I have only done it in the jungle and I'm not really interested doing it anywhere else
Being in a forest full of life brings that experience, many people describe for the Jungle. The Jungle is just a very old forest thriving with life. But in the summer season there are many other forests on the globe - thriving with life. Have a sitter if you are doing this... Ayahuasca attracts the animals and if you get scared, animals get scared too. And nobody wants to scare a predator, isn't it so? :)
Absolutely poetic, the way he recounts this. I will say, after his mushroom comment, I get the notion that he's never gone too deep, but, this was really excellent to listen to.
I can recommend you where I get my stuff from an online store, he's got Shrooms, Gummies, Microdose, Dmt, Lsd, Vape Pens, Carts, Cannabis, alongside other dope Psychedelics stuffs well Refined ships discreetly to anywhere also guide you if you're a newbie;;;....
Did it two weeks ago at Soul Quest in Orlando. The first hour right after purging was crazy chaos, but I surrendered and was patient, when I could have freaked out, and I made it through the muk to my higher self. It was glorious! I love mushrooms.
I have had a few experience in my life one would attribute as reaching the "out of body experience". From chemicals/poisoning and physical injury. What he describes is what I have experienced (in mind) that death is. What the soul is. Like a dim light in a vast expansion of nothingness, the "hell" religion speaks of. Life is like a gift to experience.
I did acid regularly during my teen years. I dosed mushrooms later in life , perhaps that effected my experience. The mushroom subtle, explained things in layers. Near the end, it didn't vocalize but I understood, it could show me more but if I agreed, I'd cease my form in this reality from ,not boredom per se, but a knowledge that made this pointless. I quickly backed away . At the time I was excepting my age and maybe excepting death , but this moment of finality made me recognize I've still a few things I'd like to experience.
My experience on psychedelics was the best experience of my life time, I'm glad I discovered this online store where I usually order mine from, they sell and ship all kinds of psychedelic products discreetly…
True. Whoever explained their Ayahuasca experience in beautiful words didn't experience the real one. They didn't reach the breakthrough. Especially when they said I did Ayahuasca x times. Wtf. Ayahuasca literally Death. Ego Death. It teaches lesson and unblocked some part of our conscious IF we came back to who we are. Many who experienced the breakthrough didn't return.
It feels amazing to know about psychedelics all thanks to this online store I was able to get some mushrooms and they got some lsd gummies cannabis xtc and another stuffs
Either he is consciously lying to make the story more unique or spreading imprecise info out or innocence. Lex, this guy has much knowledge about Ayahuasca, as the next guy that used once. Almost zero. Using something does not make you understand it.
I'm gonna have to disagree with that guy. I have chronic health issues, I simply cannot go to a jungle environment. So I've done a few us based retreats and it's been lovely and healing and fulfilling.
You can actually work with Aya outside the jungle, many people do it, personally i worked with it on my own daily/near daily for 4 years straight in fully immersive dosages, worked like a charm and learned so much from it. If anyone tells you Aya must be taken in the jungle, they don't know what they're talking about.
Every one's fear is not," coming back", yet here you are. You all needed to come back with deep appreciation for your life. That's what we are here to discover. You got, no need to get it again.
My only suggestion to the new emerging psychonaut movement would be to do the "step work" before going for the full ride with Aya. Moderate dose psilocybin, 3g, heroic dose psilocybin, 5-7g. You find the door to what you're looking for with psychedelics there, then try 5-MEO on its own. Now that you've done the steps and think there's a deeper healing needed, do the Aya. I see too many reports from people with the wrong balls to cash ratio wasting their money on a trip to the Amazon and coming out the other side still an ass hole. Do the work
But you didn't see your limits. You were in unfamiliar territory and experienced culture shock. You entered a different society. You were always coming back. You just didn't know. Ayahuasca is like going to a dojo. The more you practice it, the more skilled you become. The curanderos call it ascension. You are ascending in rungs of experience, and as you do, the visions become easier to navigate.
Unlike other psychedelics like LSD or mushrooms, the only way I could describe it with words is, "It feels like my soul has the flu." That's my best to a person who has never done it. Ask me what I meant by soul and we'd be here for a bit.
@@mizuslayer It is difficult to explain, of course, but the feeling was somewhat negative, as opposed to positive. Disorienting and colorful, harder to understand my feelings while my ego was morphing in and out, but not mood enhancing. Strange.
Trying to translate what happens in these spaces into small mouth noises is absurd. McKenna had the gift of the bard, but even then the true experience is completely lost in translation. At a fundamental level, language cannot capture it.
Yeah I don’t buy the shaman “over-brewed” the ayahuasca and then retired part of that story. The intensity that Rosolie described of his experience is nothing unusual. Anyone who works with ayahuasca long enough will eventually get his or her ass handed to them at some point.
This guy’s selling woof tickets. I did Ayahuasca in Peru three times. It has and always will be a very personal experience for all that partake. Anyone that says different is a charlatan.
I took a high dose of mushrooms once, cultivated myself. I was in a bad place in life and heard so many good things so finally tried it. One of the worst and nightmarish experiences of my life. Changed me. If u read about it, a high dose of psilocybin is comparable with Ayahuasca. Not everyone has the same experience
@@elijahantony4300 I’m not sure but Ayahuasca is intense. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you come in with the mindset that it’s not going to be fin but you’re up for the challenge because you’re in need of serious work.
This man doesn't know what he is talking about. You can do Ayahuasca in a cubicle office, if you want to, as long as you have a good shaman who can control the energy and spirits. I host Ayahuasca ceremonies in my apartment every two months and it's a life-changing experience for every single person participating. But yes, it would be cool if we could always do Aya in the jungle, but unfortunately the Amazon doesn't stretch to Europe, or even Manhattan.
I rarely comment on videos, but I have to after watching this. A similar thing happened to me in Peru: The shaman brewed up something he called ayahuasca negra or black ayahuasca, and it was completely different from "normal" ayahuasca. It was so insanely strong that had I not followed my intuition and taken a very small dose (I already had a lot in my system after many ceremonies) I really think I could have gone permanently mad. Though ayahuasca has helped me immensely on many levels, she has a side, or probably many sides, that are not quite benevolent. The visions that started were not good or bad, they were simply very occult and strange, so much so that I was shouting within "please make it stop" but then she just replied "but that is no fun for me!" What followed were hours of an extremely difficult journey. Everything happens for a reason, and this probably occured (as I now think) to lead me away from ayahuasca and onto a path of the Western Mysteries. But man- ayahuasca is an enormous psychic force of nature. There is a lot more to tell here, but all in all she did me a ton of good, and has given me some incredible, and I do mean incredible, experiences.
It only shows you whats in the heart of the one who partakes. If you live a life of fear that will be your experience. If love you will find joy. Anger, you will find fear.
I don't believe this is accurate. I've done 68 ceremonies with many people and basically everyone experiences certain emotional purges that make up the spectrum of human emotion. There will be euphoria, shame, fear, love, etc each in its turn, because those are the emotions we have as part of our humanity. Your comment reveals a belief, not a fact. Such beliefs will be obliterated by the medicine if you do it enough.
@@Kormac80 in like mind, you have just stated a valid opinion and I greatly appreciate your pushback and critique. As an adult and also have taken part in not only ceremonial rites and customary spirit journeys, I have also used various other means with other tribes such as the Hopi in Arizona within the Grand Canyon in the spirit of the sun sacrament with peyote purple, results were the same. Southern Mexico with the lost Mayan Shaman in the 3 day cocoa ceremony and fasting, i can't remember the results there but I am guessing they were the same as well.
@@Kormac80 Ayuasca is very different than most psychoactive pharmaceutical enhancement. Its cleaner if you know what i am saying but its a lot heavier. I agree with your emotional purge, yet a certain fear clouds the mind the first time and it is the voices inside that instruct the subconscious mind into a state of what the heart holds true. Can you understand what I mean? It is difficult to put into words.
@@project-unifiedfreepeoples The results the first time are rarely problematic. In fact, many of the first timers i've worked with had a blissful ride. It's often not until the 3rd or 4th journey that they go someplace challenging. So i'm going to have to say that you should probably dispense with your causative theory there. The reality is, this medicine is working in ways that are profoundly mysterious and miraculous. Any attempt to predict or create the kinds of theories you're espousing are problematic. We need to simply embrace the mystery of it. It heals and teaches, that we can say for sure. How and why is just conjecture.
@@Kormac80 i feel as if you have my cause here confused and other worldly. I too agree this needs to be introduced into the realm of modern medicine and will be much healthier than the Prozac and lithium based medications the current FDA provides. As far as my understanding of the pharmacology and trying to manipulate the meaning into words, look i am happy you live in rainbow land. Thats cool, you take a bunch of tourists in over a weekend and give them a small dosage to have fun on. When you decide to actually go on a spiritual journey through the mind and its hidden passages, get back to me and let me know how that turned out for you. I hate conflict and even more so with someone who thinks they are the way and everyone else is false. Have a great life friend, I argue no further. Blessings and peace be with you always.
Psychedelics are great, one time I was trippin on too much acid and I was staring at a fire pit and the fire pit turned into a mini world with little people and buildings, that was 2 years ago and it's such an experience to remember. would love to try out the psilocybin mushrooms next, just don't know where to get them, so hard to come by
This title is misleading. I did ayahuasca 4 nights in a row. The first night was an ego death is was very hard it’s like staring at the most honest mirror in the world. After you have an ego death then everything is beautiful. It changed me for the best I’ve become very spiritual and have appreciation for everything in this world I would definitely do it again.
''It can only be done in the jungle'' I disagree with this guy, I've never done ayahuasca in the jungle but I've done it in Europe 4 times with legit Peruvian Shamans that have been shamans for decades and believe me i was most certainly doing ayahuasca and having the ayahuasca experience. One of the ceremonies i had was 5 hours of strong vivid visions, out of body experiences where i met spirit entities with rainbow auras and they gave me overwhelming love for hours. You do need a legit shaman, but i don't know if the jungle experience is essential.
Everyone here is leaving their positive experiences in the comments, but you won't see the comments from the people who are stuck in mental institutions trapped in another reality after doing drugs. If you have a family history of mental illness, think before you take psychadelics!
💜I don't have a history of mental illness but I do have severe anxiety and that's what has kept me from going forward with the experience. I feel like there's a chance that it could possibly make me go insane afterwards and not knowing what's real and so on. & Honestly I don't even know if my body/mind could handle it but I'm not sure. I also wonder if you have heart problems could you have a heart attack from the intensity of it.
It sounds like this guy did it 1 night and then left. You are supposed to do 4 nights from what I've heard. He is making his story sound grand because he is likely upset with himself for leaving after the first night and not getting the full, true experience. So he makes a profound story about how even the legendary shaman could not even handle the batch he did to make himself feel better for not following through.
Yes, at least 3 times are necessary. And this thing with "You must take in the Jungle" is total nonsense. If one is respectful - She will bring the Jungle to him ;) If not respectful - she will teach him on respect first and then She will bring the Jungle for him ;)
What if this is how we artificially extend life. Something like Inception, he said he spent years in the trip what if we could figure out a way to share the trip and live in dreams for thousands of years.
Anyone that says that Aya must only be done in the jungle is wrong. The jungle is a pilgrimage, but must of my ceremonies have been surrounded by natural beauty here in the states. The facilitator, their process and space holding, and the potency of the brew will be the deciding factors. We're we doing it wrong when we drank Aya in Joshua Tree and the UFOs came down? I think not.
Also, the "Mother Ayahuasca" that most report experiencing might not be the most honest spirit you can encounter. "Father Ayahuasca" is a lot more honest when he shows up to take over your journey. Spiritual entities have their own agendas, and rarely give away anything for free, but may not tell you they are going to collect later when you least expect it.
@Tyler Davis The spiritual entities that vie for control of the human species are the product of previous eras of creation, some of which predate the invention of sex as a "divide and conquer" strategy that was sold as a "kiss and make up" idea originally. It may seem like the most divisive issue humanity faces, but is going to be the instrument of our salvation as more folks realize they have been conned into volunteering for Darwin Awards and doomed their souls to beast incarnations by either being useful idiots who enable and empower tyranny by being "nice" or are the predators whose darkness is fed by "niceness"
Well... He is She and She is He. This is not an entity, my friend. It is something beyond our understanding. But yes, you are correct about messing with entities - they do not give nothing for free. But who needs these things... health, prosperity, luck, money, happiness, inspiration - these things are just temporal, an illusion. We are all going to die... and this I learned from Ayahuasca - the hard way ;) Yes, we all know our mortality as a fact. But this knowing is just a mind game, compared to experiencing and realizing what Death means... There is no entity in the whole universe who can offer you what the immortal soul require. They all have temporal gifts for us, if we are willing to pay for it. Then we die and we loose these gifts... But we never loose ourselves. And the Self wants freedom... This freedom can not be offered by beings who don't have it. And now it gets complicated... So I'm not gonna use the word "God" in order not to confuse people. All be safe with Ayahuasca... It can be really dangerous, if you don't know what you are doing with it.
@barswolf4517 You are wrong, and I'm not your friend, so don't patronize me. There are dark mothers who feed fools with lollipop fantasies aimed at full grown Hansels and Gretels. If you think Ayahuasca only connects you with good spirits, or the spirits that pretend to good aren't possibly using you for their own hidden agendas, you are a fool.
This guy is projecting quite a lot and stating things as if they are facts for things that tend to be subjective and different for each individual, when he trivialises mushrooms as just you can feel music better you know the guy is full of sh*t. What he describes is absolutely nothing new at all and totally possible on mushrooms or DMT in Brooklyn. I had it last year just from micro dosing combined with cannabis and it dragged on for 6 months or more, the most horrific cold dark nothingness, waking in panics every night, along with being faced with the worst of the worst characteristics of nature and human beings, empathy just off the charts. One has to be careful to put any 'shamans' on pedestals, they may have much experience with these things but they are still human, the fact he fk'd up the brew even highlights this even more. You are your own shaman at the end of the day as well, self awareness and your experience is everything.
I ate 27 grams of mushrooms and was still in my body but for 10 hours straight I was in a complete mental breakdown with insane visuals that were absolutely ridiculous and I honestly didn’t understand life I couldn’t even think or stand or walk it was so wild i remember towards the end when I got in front of the mirror and my head was a pumpkin that kept getting bigger and bigger. After ten hours of being in this different state of mind I saw my phone and tried to pick it up but the numbers were just going wild I couldn’t type my password and it was pre facial recognition lol. Eventually I figured out that I accidentally ate mushroom chocolate bars. 4 in total with 16 servings per bar 😂

this uneducated. j*w. is perpetuating what the media does today with misinformation.
Sounds like that shaman almost did it intentionally. Like, one more blast off before I'm done. Dude went out with a BANG KAPOW!!! The shaman just didn't want to go there alone and took a small crowd with him. Hahaha!!!
"I'm going to Ukraine."
Ugh.
it is always the same fallacy. try 20gr.of mushrooms and then tell us if it is much lighter.
PSA: please do the research and make sure to sit with who is recommended and trusted. 🙏💚
Ayahuasca, LSD and psilocybin containing mushroom are amazing. I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with cptsd. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Where do I reach this dude? If possible can I find him on Google
I did ayahuasca once. One of the best experiences I’ve had, took me off depression medication. Doesn’t have to be in the Forrest, anywhere you’re truly comfortable.
are you still off it my friend? I am stepping off my ssri as we speak, its a blend of nervousness and excitement that I have my retreat coming up in about a month.
@@phonxeno8831 remember it just helps with the chemical Balance in your brain. At some point you will understand it’s all in your head. there’s more to life than what it was i was sad about. You’ll be dead in less than 100 years and the world will keep spinning, in death you will become nothing, returning to everything. Life is the experience you choose to make it. Doesn’t make sense not to make the choice to be happy, be appreciative. Challenge yourself to experience the things you want to experience. Life is about the experience. Good and bad, can’t have one without the other.
Where to find that ??
@@phonxeno8831where I could find it in Nc?
@@zackypoobaby very well said
It's not wise to underestimate the power of mushrooms. For example, my brother used to call them "the fruits" and thought they were weak compared to DMT. But one day, we found a super potent strain that sent us into hyperspace.
We took the same modest dose (3 grams each), but it felt like the mushrooms had something to prove to my brother. While I had one of the best experiences of my life, my brother barely made it through. It just goes to show that mushrooms can be way more than just introspection and feeling the music.
Yah Terrence McKenna talks about the right strain of mushrooms with the correct dose will deliver a ayahuasca or dmt experience.
Yeah you can blast off on shroomies. I've eaten a whole ounce before(was about 3/4 dry) and it was insane and I did ketamine while peaking. I'm an Odinist and it was like the all father ripped me out of reality and showed me how the dimensions of reality breaks down at at least like 9 layers and he had me outside of that looking in and showed me that there were beings/entities too made up of or crossing through multiple layers and I had the impression he was showing me these were what we consider "gods" and whatnot himself being one of them. It was a very intense experience.
No doubt. Mushrooms are sacred medicine, way more than just feeling music.
@@ghagzor nazi fascist bs
@@ghagzor
God has no image- the shrooms were showing you false deities, Odin being one of them.
this guys account of ayauasca is very specific to him. please don’t think your experience will be the same. every person has a story and the medicine taps in to that. anyone with a remote interest in trying ayauasca should heed the call.
You're spot on.
I just got back from a 3 day ceremony last week (which seems like just yesterday but also another lifetime ago) and I can tell you, it was the most intense and profound thing I’ve ever done. It’s painful and beautiful all at the same time. It was like I was being scolded by my mother followed by her warm loving embrace. The pain was the deepest and most soul-wrenching, ego-shattering experience ever, but the love was a love that I didn’t even know existed or that I was even capable of. I’m truly humbled by the power of the medicine! It has given me so much clarity and has opened my eyes to so many truths about myself and this world. Heavy stuff and Best week of my life!
Beautiful!! About to head to one in July! ❤
You have been deceived. God did not give you a spirit of drunkenness, wherein is excess, and you are easily taken advantage of. God, your perfect maker, gave you a sound, sober mind. He does not require an altered state to reveal himself to you, as your so called “mother” does. This is what rapists require of their victims. The Lord our God and Father is desperately seeking you. Please, brother, repent and trust Christ.❤
@@liabw05 don't listen to Ben he's been brainwashed. Ayahuasca truly is an amazing experience, you'll experience geniune love out there, not the two faced bullshit the bible spews out. Go for it girl
@@BenVanCamp you sound like one of the religious nuts I’ve been trying to run away from all my life. God can be found through different ways and practices. Please don’t act like you know the “only way”. This medicine, when used correctly, with the right intentions and in the right atmosphere, can be very good and saves many lives. Please go away with your negativity and extremism.
@@BenVanCamp You need to try a bigger dose next time.
Ayahuasca is one of the most incredible things I've done in my life. Don't get me wrong it made me face some deep rooted fears which were awful but it also made me feel love like I've never felt before, as if gold was radiating from my heart. Having a shaman sing seemed to help too and just made the experience all the more special
As for me I think it's profoundly sad that so many people want to poison themselves with this shit because they find life unsatisfying and are unable to make those connections intellectually. Listening to accounts such as this one in the video makes me glad I never made such a choice. I can wake up from a night of bad dreams feeling grateful I'm "back" in what passes for normal reality and I suppose grateful for the insights my own subconscious has offered me. You can keep every hallucinogen out there, I'm good.
@@Raygo. I think it's oversimplification to think people do it because they find life unsatisfying. I've never done a hallucinogen, but it seems fascinating. Some people are curious about our reality and want to explore another side that's hidden to us in our regular state. People are searching for the answer to life and the universe. Escapists look for any drug; these people are looking for enlightenment.
@@S5King7 But why is it believable that hallucinations reveal "another side that's hidden to us in our regular state"? To me it seems more like a kind of madness is unleashed, when the brain is destabilized by the toxins and normal consciousness breaks down. Personally, I cannot accept that "enlightenment" comes from drug-induced delirium.
@@Raygo. you don’t have to partake but there’s nothing wrong with those that do lol calm down
Considering these experiences are somewhat about the dissolution of the ego. There always seems to be a lot of ego afterwards.
The feeling of gratitude afterwards that he describes is one of the most beautiful things one could eve experiences, it makes you realize that nothing is important, only feeling being around your people and friends and chiling with everyone, that's the thing we need to feel happy and fullfilled in life.
Absolutely
Ayahuasca showed me that there is only one being in existence. There is nothing outside of it and it never had a beginning. It cannot choose to not exist but it becomes unconscious and experiences different dimensions and illusions of separation in order to escape the true reality of eternal existence. But the ultimate theme it taught me was that everything and nothing are the same thing. Nothing exists because existence is impossible, therefore everything exists. Both are the same.
Seems like Ayahuasca showed you nothing ?
@@MonlopoMANand the purpose of your ignorant comment is?

When someone says “I wanna see where my mind breaks.” I can almost guarantee they’ll have an extremely challenging trip. You’ll get exactly what you ask for.
Lex says it like some edgy teenager who doesn't know what the fuck he's getting into. The interviewee was even like "....no. This isn't some ice plunge." He could tell Lex has no idea what he's talking about.
Yup. For my intention I said I wanted to end distractions in my life and I thought i was doing myself a favor but boy oh boy that was a tough journey. Forever grateful nonetheless. I eagerly await my next journey
Same with Ibogaine
Exactly you need to just let it flow through you.....what all hallucinogenics do to different degrees of intensity is shut off your consciousness's filter we develope a filter from very early in the womb because our senses take in millions of bites of information every second and it's hard to process so we develope a filter tripping turns that filter way down and sometimes off and the worst thing you can do is fight it you just have to let it flow through you
@S. Just don't fight it let it flow through you....from the time your in the womb your conscious mind develops a filter because your sense is taking so many bytes of information every second that you can't consciously process it all hallucinogens turn that filter off so it opens you up to everything you usually miss to some it's overwhelming and they fight it and try to turn their filter back on but can't......once it's off you just have to understand it's all your perception and just let go and not try to control what your senses are taking in
Done both multiple times. Mushroom can take you there too it just depends on how much you take it. And you don't have to be in a jungle. If it happens, it happens. It doesn't matter where you're sitting You're going somewhere else.
I was thinking the same. If you take a heroic dose of mushrooms its the same as a huge hit of dmt. When i took my heroic dose of shrooms i was atoms being smashed together, then i was a sun smashing into another sun, then i was snow being smashed together, then a water molecule falling down a plug hole, it was a never ending rebirth of all these different things for hours amd hours. I then woke up naked in the hall outside my flat! Hahaha. Smaller amounts ive met entities and aliens though
@@stu7610I've consumed DMT 4 times and tons of mushroom doses, however I once consumed 6g of mushrooms. Both were completely different, however the strongest trip was my 2nd DMT trip. I saw what death "was like" (according to my mind, perhaps it's just what i wanted to see). I hopefully will travel to Brazil or Peru in 2024 in order to try ayahuasca.
Yeah, I've done 10G dried, and it was pretty unbelievable. I've been to "the place" several times on a few different things top shelf stuff. Lucy is more like futuristic space aliens stuff. Caps is Mother Earth Aztec signs and a familiar feeling....Craaaazy stuff, though. And DMT was just too much I was just happy to be normal again lol
With mushrooms it's like doing a trip to Safari. 3 to5 G is like watching on a high definition TV 5 to 10 g it's like being there but driving inside vehicle 10 to 20 g is like packing a backpack and a gun and being on foot by yourself surrounded by all the wildlife, you just don't know until you try it.
Mushrooms been around on this planet long long before any ayahuasca or any plant or animal. If not mushrooms there would be no Ayahuasca or humans. There is definitely some higher intelligence in them or some kind of message encoded. Mushroom spores can survive travel in space, something to think about it.
@@chrisnagorka2776 love Aya but the problem for me is "entertainment" of music etc
Love shrooms. Will do my first 6g after last 5.5 .
I'm so curious what it's like on 10 or 20!
Can't wait, but I'm the kind of person going there slowly every few months. So by the time I'll pass 10 , it will be like two years 😂😂😂
As someone who has visited Grandmother 68 times I can confirm a couple of things: you will be humbled, and you will be healed. Oh and btw, i've not done it in the jungle, so i guess i don't know anything. lol.
I think the lack of light pollution and being surrounded by millions of living organisms vs just a crowded city might be the deciding difference between the 2 experiences.
I'm more curious doing it out in the ocean, obviously with people that can ensure your safety but I'd be curious how the tiny organisms in the water and lack of light nor land will affect it.
Every single time I did it, it always felt out of context - it needs the context of the jungle.
I've done both. The jungle is unique and special, but it's quite arrogant to say it doesn't count unless done in the jungle. I've had beautiful experiences outside of the jungle.
But there are also millions of living organisms in a city
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed all these responses
I think it goes beyond a "dedication to curiosity." I think it has more to do with a primordial calling, of what one came here to do. And that the fearlessness comes from knowing that the Universe has your back in the endeavor, because it is that very endeavor that the universe sent you here for in the first place.
“The jungle is where you have the real experience” followed by “yeah, my shaman didn’t really know wtf he was doing”
It's bullshit that you need to be in the jungle. Where you are and who you are is irrelevant. They are both simple constructs and boundaries that as mckenna famously said are dissolved by the experience
@@everything777 yeah honestly id way prefer to just do it at home. doing it with a bunch of random people you dont know in a place you're not familiar with doesn't sound like a good time to me.
He sounded like such a white guy saying this.
Exit and entry point doesn't matter. Being humble. Nature is relaxing and our way to escape the machine of society. A Forrest is good.
😂😅 Real life's jungle 😅
I am 50 now, i have never done anything ever and i never will, but is very interesting to listen others experience.
Yeah I work at an Ayahuasca church and I see miracles every week.
The jungle may be great but not necessary.
Much love everyone 🙏🏼❤️😊
It's very interpersonal and that's what he's tied to, but you should know that already
do you mean cult?
ayahuasca church sounds an awfull lot like a cult
They use to put weed in the smoke incent for Christian masses so never mind the people that say it sounds like a cult. I think dmt is needed in church to reset a person right. I would have made a lot less mistakes in my life if I did it in church
U in Florida? My friend went to one there a few years ago and I’m considering
Aya isn’t about the jungle, it’s the earth. It’s profoundly universal. None of what he describes is unusual. Aya is a medicine to be experienced many times. Through that continuity one enters into relationship w the earth - beyond the human.
Exactly, it should be done in nature but it's stupid to think you have to buy a plane ticket to a certain part of the world to experience what's intended
🌿💚
No. If your don’t do it in the jungle, your a racist.
Aye ok Mr shaman
Your state of mind will be wherever you are. I have no doubt the Jungle is the craziest place to take it. What do you think you senses feels when THE RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE is on? Compared to the nature in every other part of the world. I know you "leave" our thought of the world - but it will still affect where you go from where you are. You hear birds, monkeys, rizzling bushes - you're ACTUALLY totally disconnected from our world, but connected to the EARTH. I rumble, but my point stands: NO PLACE TO TAKE DRUGS LIKE DEEP IN THE JUNGLE. NON.
"And in our culture, if you hear voices we have mental hospitals for you. If you are able to see vast visions of the future, we have drugs that you know, can calm you down." - Terence McKenna
I did ayahuasca at a place in Costa Rica called rythmia. Totally changed my life, had a full blown out of body experience and gave me unfathomable insight about the universe.
Crazy to hear all this storys.
It encurages me to drink again, but to drink more cups to go deeper.
I aprreciate it
Rythmia is an overpriced influencer resort
Rythmia is a for profit Western based center and not an authentic shamanic center... it is most like the one the Self Help American Gurus have invested interest on them.... People like Deepa Chopra and the like I mean $$.
Nice place. I first did mine in my own front living room. £15 expense. For some that might not be a good idea, I was thorough in my research and preparation. I believe there is an extra magic if you cook your own brew whilst focussing on your intentions. My ignorance was perfect in not even considering some would find my ceremony disrespectful. Yet at the heart of what I was doing was deeply honouring of the core essence of traditional ceremony yet in my own personalised way. I have learned for my own experience it’s not where and with who that holds the power in the experience with ayahuasca but the courage you bring to confront yourself once and for all.

I’ve done Aya 2x at the same place. The first time was the most intense. I drank 5x. The lessons and purging were intense. But the message I got is that we are all love and love is the universal vibration. The second time was when my
Son was 8 months old. I only needed to drink 1x and the whole time I just felt the most intense love for my
Baby. Unexplainable. It brought me to uncontrollable sobbing. I rode the waves and welcomed all she brought without resistance until finally right at the very end when the lights came on and everyone was done with their journey, I purged hard. Aya brought me to God.
Duuude Sober Up!
That’s beautiful man. I’ve got a 3 year old and a 6 week old…I totally get it. It takes bravery to go to that place-but it can show us what we take for granted and bring us more presence with our loved ones
well...i cant definitively say that the luv stuff isnt really a happenin in this earthly realm though. much more pain, suffering, misery than luv going on. always has been, and im guessing always will be.
it could be much better for many here if the folks at the top of the pyramid would simply lighten up some. but they wont, b/c they relish in controlling, enslaving, and hurting people on a mass scale.
Dude… as someone who has done Ayahuasca twice I can say that drinking 5 times is fucking epic! Unless you drank VERY FAST I can’t understand how your body dealt with that much medicine. Your trip must have been ……
You need a drug to feel love for your baby? Lol!
Just sharing that I had a serious drinking problem in my twenties. Couldn’t stop.
My brothers and I went to the Utah desert and took LSD.
I’d never taken it, and I took a bunch over a weeks time.
To say that it was profound is an understatement. Within the next few months, I stopped drinking and smoking pot completely with no cravings whatsoever. After 25 years, I decided to drink and smoke again. Bad idea?
Well it’s ten years later, and I’m fine. No cravings. Happy family life, fun times, difficult times…no matter.
No residual addiction effects.
My gen x peers and I suffered immensely under a corrupt drug war that made the cure for the problem illegal.
Perhaps a future in politics should require a minimum of one psychedelic experience before claiming the throne. 🐾💕
It's called self-control otherwise you can still drink and smoke. That's what a lot of people don't have when they do drugs.
What was your experience like?
Most politicians would probs freak the fuck out if they took lsd lol
@@jmoney1941 Hi, just to clarify, I took one tab a day for 5 days. I don’t know how strong they were. But it was like everything slowed down gradually over the week.
Then on the last day, I was watching a cloud pass over a peak thinking to myself, my life is going to be ruined, I’ll never be able to stop drinking. It’s too powerful. Then a voice, or some feeling, said, “yes you can, just do it.”
And that was it. The craving was gone. Vaporized. It wasn’t even a big deal. In fact, it was almost humorous. Like a Nike commercial. That’s what impressed me the most. It was like it had been waiting for me to ask. I hope that makes sense.
Do you still drink?
This man's arrogance is extremely off putting. Starts off saying the only place to do ayahuasca is the jungle, despite the fact that he hasn't done it outside of the jungle to compare. Then goes on to describe what seems like a very poorly run ceremony?? His ego yelling "my experience was more authentic and better than yours" shows he doesn't really get the essence of Ayahuasca..
Agreed. He's just talking about how no one can get as high as he got. That's not the point of ayahuasca at all.
I did it in the middle of a rainforest in BC. Doesn’t have to be jungle. Shamon makes a big difference also.
I was not spiritual but after I become spiritual and I was in peace for 2 weeks. Also was very connected to nature.
Ayahuasca was the greatest experience i have ever had. It was scary and beautiful. It took work.

I've only journeyed with La Madre four times, and not in the jungle (although in a forest at least.) I'm afraid what Paul experienced was basically an overdose. My very last ceremony was pretty scary, but full of teaching. It felt like I was being invited somewhere that I wasn't ready to go, so the fear came in my resistance. In the end, she gently let me go and told me that she would show me when I was ready. Even then, when I was holding on to my shaman's chant for dear life (even she told me it was a heavy batch,) I still felt the overwhelming love that comes with the visitation, and the gratitude that inevitably pours out of me for receiving that unconditional, universal love. The kind I didn't get when I was growing up. Anyway, kudos to Paul for all he does to help stave off the destruction of the Earth's ultimate life engine. I need to get down there soon while I still have a stomach for adventure.
When your shaman trips so hard he has to retire, you know your ayahuasca experience is certified 😁😁

Good one!
What he's describing is ego death which is something I see every now and then pop up. His description of "feeling like an animal" is exactly how I thought it would feel. Turns you into an autonomous bug brain thing.
Took a tab a few years ago that was similar to this. It started like a euphoric high youd get on shrooms with the warm feelings, uncontrollable laughter and intense light tracing. Then you really get into it and its lasts like 12 hours.
One point in the night i wondered into the bathroom and sat on the toilet with the lid down. It was a white-tiled bathroom. My eyes slid to the corner , on the floor, where the tub makes a natural corner. I saw what it would look like if humans ceased to exist. It started with simple weeds and grass and grew before me until the entire room looked like it returned to the forest. It was a time lapse that started with dull white and ended with bright greens and browns . It was intense.
Its a rollercoaster for sure because your high forever. You really experience some really mind blowing highs and feel interconnected to low lows where youre laying in bed and catch glimpses of demons shadows flying across your ceiling.
I had somewhat of a similar experience where the shamans made the brew too strong and many people in the group left the next day. They were all terrified and shook up. I was plunged into the most frightening experience of my life and it was beyond horrific. The next couple of times I did it, it was not near as bad because they used a less potent brew.
Wow. That really makes me not want to do it... That sounds terrible
There isn't such a thing as "too strong" with Ayahuasca. However, there is such a thing as improper facilitation and adulterated medicine.
@@elChulachaki yeah they probably put toe or whatever in it. All I know is that everyone was freaking out and having bad trips. That was in Ecuador and the Shamens were indigenous people too.
What was the experience like? You mention frightening, in what way?
@@GavinDuncan391 it is very difficult for me to write this experience down on a TH-cam comment box. Let’s just say for sake of being short, I went face to face with torturous eternal hell and a being who some know as Yaldabaoth. It was a being who has a body of a feathered serpent with the head of a dragon mixed with a lion and I was suspended in air in a tunnel of sorts trying with all my might to fly up and out. The experience was more real than this realm and the pain was unbearable and there was no escape. The being overpowered me in every way, it knew my thoughts and shocked me with immense pain every time I tried to rest so that I could not rest from trying to escape. I had never imagined there could be such a terrible thing as what I experienced. It took me years but I eventually found Jesus Christ as my savior. Now I know I am saved by Christ so I will not ever have to go back there. There is more but that was the worst of it.
This is a good one, that's crazy, really real, two men, sitting, talking about those places you only really understand when you're there and their curiosity about these places. Much love.
Graham Hancock said something that has stayed in my mind and that is that there are 50,000 or more species of plants in the Amazon and somehow a plant and the root of a vine were put together and processed in a very complex way to have the ayahuasca concoction due its duty. Think about that! The chances of putting those two plants together are astounding.
think about how many plants they mixed that had 0 effect or bad effects before they found the right ones, probably took a long time before someone figured it out.
@@conorhennell2623 SOME ANIMALS WOULD EAT ONE PLANT AND THEN ANOTHER?
This seems like it's fake news just based off of my common sense. There's many more plants that contain DMT itself. The monoamine oxidase inhibitor is the key find. So it ups the chances of getting a dmt brew considerably. There's likely been many shittier DMT brews with different DMT sources in the past until they got the current version with chacruna as the DMT source.
@@GamingTakesPride GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. You could very well be right. What is astounding is how they have to brew the root for hours and add the plant and do all kinds of chemistry-like things to end up with the right mixture. It was most likely trial and error, but it is still amazing how those two plants produce such a potent substance.
@@conorhennell2623 well I mean, homo sapiens have been here for a while, between 13,000 to 180,000 years in between? If surviving from plants in that area still remains as a common habit, I'm guessing our species had plenty of time to play chemistry around
Wow I am thankful for the gifts we have… this man explains it so elegantly
As someone who has done 42 ceremonies, in the jungle, in the span of 2 and 1/2 months, you do not want to experiment with seeing where your mind breaks. The purge of emotional and physical trauma that came in the following years was beyond destructive, in my case. Ayahuasca doesn't stop working when you leave the ceremony space. It's a life long process and once you commit, there is no turning back.
I have many regrets and wish I would have done things differently but given the chance to change what happened, I don't think I would. I still don't understand why I feel that way.
My point is that Ayahuasca is incredibly powerful and life changing, sometimes it can break the strongest of people who never end up coming back. I consider myself extremely lucky to have some kind of spiritual protection that pulled me out of the spiral I went into.
Look up this dude I got my stuff from him on instagram and telegram he ship to anywhere--
Mycospread:::::;;;;;;;;
I'm not fully understanding are you saying that aya can be harmful? If so, in what ways? How would it break you?
@@ThatHoosierKid17 everything can be harmful and Ayahuasca is no exception.
Even if you don't face your trauma in the ceremony space, you will eventually face it. It's a very powerful medicine that continues to work even years after a couple of ceremonies.
One of the problems with the plant medicine world, that I observed, is that so many people want to heal and ascend that there's a lot of encouragement to keep doing ceremonies. In my case, I was still young and wanted to change so badly that I followed whatever everyone else was doing. Even with extensive experience with psychedelics, nothing prepares you for how deep Ayahuasca goes. So I followed along and did a lot of ceremonies, a lot of plant dietas, purgatives and when I came out of the jungle, I did a lot of San Pedro in the Andes mountains.
It was great at the time but I should have showed more control and mindfulness because the real trauma purge came much later after I had stopped all psychedelics and it almost drove me crazy. Imagine 15 years of hurtful, negative, and repressed emotions coming to the surface and being forced to face them all at once.
What I'm trying to say is that the road to healing is a life long journey and it's important not to rush it because it will break your mind.
It wasn't just me that this happened to. I also witnessed close friends all start to lose their shit in very different and terrifying ways.
The worst I saw was a guy who traveled around from hostel to hostel, burning them down.
If too much unconscious material is experienced, more than the conscious mind is ready for, people can have psychotic breaks/psychosis.
I hit the threshold of a psychotic break during my ceremonies, and it is truly terrifying. I am still recovering, getting a lot of support, and setting boundaries with the divine/my Higher Self, “No, I do not want to experience any more unconscious material right now, I need support, I will let you know when I’m ready.”
Your physical, psychological, emotional regulation of your nervous system has to be considered.
Anyway, I wouldn’t regret it. Just giving a word of caution- take care of yourself. We all want to “feel better” but usually it’s not about that, it’s about getting “better at feeling”.
And that starts in the here and now, lucidly in the conscious, waking stage. Good luck and big hugs to all on the healing journey. I’m with you 💛.
i never done ayahuasca, but ive done 6 months of DMT, some of his descriptions are pretty similar to how i describe my experiences.
i got to say its probably the most incredible thing ive ever experienced in my whole life, and i had a pretty eventful one at that
dmt and even toad venom is a really great experience, when it's smoked it gets metabolized within 20 minutes that's why the trips are pretty short. when you eat dmt your stomach enzymes dissolve it, but with ayahuasca the brew has an enzyme inhibitor that allows the dmt to be metabolized by your liver so it lasts several hours
both are great experiences i hope you get to experience both one day
Having several family members with broken minds I urge you to tread carefully Lex.
You are gambling that once your mind breaks, it will return to you unscathed, which is a pretty dangerous assumption.
It seems that it is something which cuts off connection of your perception from you central nervous system. Which means only your true *self* remains. And for the first time you realize that your self is the superficial construction. In short, it shows you the meaning of "I AM".
“Pizza outside of New York ain’t Pizza” vibes.

Haha yeah don't be THAT guy. 😂😂
Right? It was like he was being a one upper, lol. Now I know you've been high, but you've never been doing ayahuasca in the jungle high! 😃
@@mroiz or the guy that says, "Yeah you might get good weed but not the good weed I can get. Nobody around here can get kush that good." 👀 👀 Ugh. 😩
😂😂😂 so true
I do not doubt that having Ayahuasca outside of the Jungle could possibly work. But I can't imagine it not being tremendously better in every way in the jungle. I have only done it in the jungle and I'm not really interested doing it anywhere else
I second that motion.
How about if you do it in the city but listen to guns and roses during ceremony, Is they close enough?
Being in a forest full of life brings that experience, many people describe for the Jungle. The Jungle is just a very old forest thriving with life. But in the summer season there are many other forests on the globe - thriving with life. Have a sitter if you are doing this... Ayahuasca attracts the animals and if you get scared, animals get scared too. And nobody wants to scare a predator, isn't it so?
:)

Did it two weeks ago at Soul Quest in Orlando. The first hour right after purging was crazy chaos, but I surrendered and was patient, when I could have freaked out, and I made it through the muk to my higher self. It was glorious! I love mushrooms.
I have had a few experience in my life one would attribute as reaching the "out of body experience". From chemicals/poisoning and physical injury. What he describes is what I have experienced (in mind) that death is. What the soul is. Like a dim light in a vast expansion of nothingness, the "hell" religion speaks of. Life is like a gift to experience.
I did acid regularly during my teen years. I dosed mushrooms later in life , perhaps that effected my experience.
The mushroom subtle, explained things in layers.
Near the end, it didn't vocalize but I understood, it could show me more but if I agreed, I'd cease my form in this reality from ,not boredom per se, but a knowledge that made this pointless.
I quickly backed away . At the time I was excepting my age and maybe excepting death , but this moment of finality made me recognize I've still a few things I'd like to experience.
Ayahuasca sounds terrifying. I have pretty bad anxiety and i lose when i can't control everything.

As ayahuasca pioneer and ethnobotanist Wade Davis once said, "Ayahuasca is a lot of things. 'Pleasant' isn't one of them."
True. Whoever explained their Ayahuasca experience in beautiful words didn't experience the real one. They didn't reach the breakthrough. Especially when they said I did Ayahuasca x times. Wtf. Ayahuasca literally Death. Ego Death. It teaches lesson and unblocked some part of our conscious IF we came back to who we are. Many who experienced the breakthrough didn't return.

Either he is consciously lying to make the story more unique or spreading imprecise info out or innocence. Lex, this guy has much knowledge about Ayahuasca, as the next guy that used once. Almost zero. Using something does not make you understand it.

I'm gonna have to disagree with that guy. I have chronic health issues, I simply cannot go to a jungle environment. So I've done a few us based retreats and it's been lovely and healing and fulfilling.
You can actually work with Aya outside the jungle, many people do it, personally i worked with it on my own daily/near daily for 4 years straight in fully immersive dosages, worked like a charm and learned so much from it. If anyone tells you Aya must be taken in the jungle, they don't know what they're talking about.
There is no jungle.
You gotta love these two guys for the absolute conviction to curiosity and exploration!
Plot twist the " shaman " is actually from Brooklyn and dresses up for the Tourists.
lol for real, big business selling this shit to all those hippie type white people
Every one's fear is not," coming back", yet here you are. You all needed to come back with deep appreciation for your life. That's what we are here to discover. You got, no need to get it again.
but do you come back. You might be changing yourself. Don't you want to have the same "soul" you had when you were 10? be the same person?
My only suggestion to the new emerging psychonaut movement would be to do the "step work" before going for the full ride with Aya. Moderate dose psilocybin, 3g, heroic dose psilocybin, 5-7g. You find the door to what you're looking for with psychedelics there, then try 5-MEO on its own. Now that you've done the steps and think there's a deeper healing needed, do the Aya. I see too many reports from people with the wrong balls to cash ratio wasting their money on a trip to the Amazon and coming out the other side still an ass hole. Do the work
But you didn't see your limits. You were in unfamiliar territory and experienced culture shock. You entered a different society. You were always coming back. You just didn't know. Ayahuasca is like going to a dojo. The more you practice it, the more skilled you become. The curanderos call it ascension. You are ascending in rungs of experience, and as you do, the visions become easier to navigate.
@PushinPlea no
Correct!
Unlike other psychedelics like LSD or mushrooms, the only way I could describe it with words is, "It feels like my soul has the flu." That's my best to a person who has never done it. Ask me what I meant by soul and we'd be here for a bit.

Yeah I don’t buy the shaman “over-brewed” the ayahuasca and then retired part of that story. The intensity that Rosolie described of his experience is nothing unusual. Anyone who works with ayahuasca long enough will eventually get his or her ass handed to them at some point.
The experience changed my life forever
This guy’s selling woof tickets. I did Ayahuasca in Peru three times. It has and always will be a very personal experience for all that partake. Anyone that says different is a charlatan.

I took a high dose of mushrooms once, cultivated myself. I was in a bad place in life and heard so many good things so finally tried it. One of the worst and nightmarish experiences of my life.

This man doesn't know what he is talking about. You can do Ayahuasca in a cubicle office, if you want to, as long as you have a good shaman who can control the energy and spirits. I host Ayahuasca ceremonies in my apartment every two months and it's a life-changing experience for every single person participating. But yes, it would be cool if we could always do Aya in the jungle, but unfortunately the Amazon doesn't stretch to Europe, or even Manhattan.
Maybe it opens up your mind to see and interact with other entities that you maybe should not be interacting with with.
It does open up portals, which is why having a strong retainer and protection is absolutely necessary.

i love the way friedman reads his notes , closes his eyes and pretends he is remembering the details of the next question. pure professionalism! haha
I rarely comment on videos, but I have to after watching this. A similar thing happened to me in Peru: The shaman brewed up something he called ayahuasca negra or black ayahuasca, and it was completely different from "normal" ayahuasca. It was so insanely strong that had I not followed my intuition and taken a very small dose (I already had a lot in my system after many ceremonies) I really think I could have gone permanently mad. Though ayahuasca has helped me immensely on many levels, she has a side, or probably many sides, that are not quite benevolent. The visions that started were not good or bad, they were simply very occult and strange, so much so that I was shouting within "please make it stop" but then she just replied "but that is no fun for me!" What followed were hours of an extremely difficult journey. Everything happens for a reason, and this probably occured (as I now think) to lead me away from ayahuasca and onto a path of the Western Mysteries. But man- ayahuasca is an enormous psychic force of nature. There is a lot more to tell here, but all in all she did me a ton of good, and has given me some incredible, and I do mean incredible, experiences.
Really nicely articulated.
I always felt gratitude after a bad trip... reality felt like a gift...
It only shows you whats in the heart of the one who partakes. If you live a life of fear that will be your experience. If love you will find joy. Anger, you will find fear.
I don't believe this is accurate. I've done 68 ceremonies with many people and basically everyone experiences certain emotional purges that make up the spectrum of human emotion. There will be euphoria, shame, fear, love, etc each in its turn, because those are the emotions we have as part of our humanity. Your comment reveals a belief, not a fact. Such beliefs will be obliterated by the medicine if you do it enough.
@@Kormac80 in like mind, you have just stated a valid opinion and I greatly appreciate your pushback and critique. As an adult and also have taken part in not only ceremonial rites and customary spirit journeys, I have also used various other means with other tribes such as the Hopi in Arizona within the Grand Canyon in the spirit of the sun sacrament with peyote purple, results were the same. Southern Mexico with the lost Mayan Shaman in the 3 day cocoa ceremony and fasting, i can't remember the results there but I am guessing they were the same as well.
@@Kormac80 Ayuasca is very different than most psychoactive pharmaceutical enhancement. Its cleaner if you know what i am saying but its a lot heavier. I agree with your emotional purge, yet a certain fear clouds the mind the first time and it is the voices inside that instruct the subconscious mind into a state of what the heart holds true. Can you understand what I mean? It is difficult to put into words.
@@project-unifiedfreepeoples The results the first time are rarely problematic. In fact, many of the first timers i've worked with had a blissful ride. It's often not until the 3rd or 4th journey that they go someplace challenging. So i'm going to have to say that you should probably dispense with your causative theory there. The reality is, this medicine is working in ways that are profoundly mysterious and miraculous. Any attempt to predict or create the kinds of theories you're espousing are problematic. We need to simply embrace the mystery of it. It heals and teaches, that we can say for sure. How and why is just conjecture.
@@Kormac80 i feel as if you have my cause here confused and other worldly. I too agree this needs to be introduced into the realm of modern medicine and will be much healthier than the Prozac and lithium based medications the current FDA provides. As far as my understanding of the pharmacology and trying to manipulate the meaning into words, look i am happy you live in rainbow land. Thats cool, you take a bunch of tourists in over a weekend and give them a small dosage to have fun on. When you decide to actually go on a spiritual journey through the mind and its hidden passages, get back to me and let me know how that turned out for you. I hate conflict and even more so with someone who thinks they are the way and everyone else is false. Have a great life friend, I argue no further. Blessings and peace be with you always.

This title is misleading. I did ayahuasca 4 nights in a row. The first night was an ego death is was very hard it’s like staring at the most honest mirror in the world. After you have an ego death then everything is beautiful. It changed me for the best I’ve become very spiritual and have appreciation for everything in this world I would definitely do it again.
yea, I'm glad he said it. I did Ayahuasca a lot in Brazil, always in the jungle. It just isn't right any other way. It is jungle medicine
''It can only be done in the jungle'' I disagree with this guy, I've never done ayahuasca in the jungle but I've done it in Europe 4 times with legit Peruvian Shamans that have been shamans for decades and believe me i was most certainly doing ayahuasca and having the ayahuasca experience. One of the ceremonies i had was 5 hours of strong vivid visions, out of body experiences where i met spirit entities with rainbow auras and they gave me overwhelming love for hours. You do need a legit shaman, but i don't know if the jungle experience is essential.
Everyone here is leaving their positive experiences in the comments, but you won't see the comments from the people who are stuck in mental institutions trapped in another reality after doing drugs. If you have a family history of mental illness, think before you take psychadelics!
💜I don't have a history of mental illness but I do have severe anxiety and that's what has kept me from going forward with the experience. I feel like there's a chance that it could possibly make me go insane afterwards and not knowing what's real and so on. & Honestly I don't even know if my body/mind could handle it but I'm not sure. I also wonder if you have heart problems could you have a heart attack from the intensity of it.
@TianaGerman29 If you are anxious already, you will probably have a bad trip. It's not worth the terror, IMO.
6:00 when he describes the Shaman as E.T laying by the lake makes me crack up every single time I watch this! Such a funny analogy😂
This guy is my kind if story teller
This guy sounds like a pretentious twat. But I guess different people like different things
Ur pretty bad at story telling I guess.
God's grace and mercy still gives us breath everyday he lets us
It sounds like this guy did it 1 night and then left. You are supposed to do 4 nights from what I've heard. He is making his story sound grand because he is likely upset with himself for leaving after the first night and not getting the full, true experience. So he makes a profound story about how even the legendary shaman could not even handle the batch he did to make himself feel better for not following through.

?lnstagram!!!!
Yes, at least 3 times are necessary. And this thing with "You must take in the Jungle" is total nonsense. If one is respectful - She will bring the Jungle to him ;) If not respectful - she will teach him on respect first and then She will bring the Jungle for him ;)
Because there is so much life in the jungle. It's probably the ultimate existence for that experience. I çould only imagine.
What if this is how we artificially extend life. Something like Inception, he said he spent years in the trip what if we could figure out a way to share the trip and live in dreams for thousands of years.
cool 😊
It's going to happen in our lifetimes.
Is there a sci-fi novel about this? I'm sure ChatGPT can bring one up out of the words of others.
There are yogi’s who meditate for years without food or water
@@sighfly2928 that is a lie.. there are lots charlatans like that in India.
Anyone that says that Aya must only be done in the jungle is wrong. The jungle is a pilgrimage, but must of my ceremonies have been surrounded by natural beauty here in the states. The facilitator, their process and space holding, and the potency of the brew will be the deciding factors.
We're we doing it wrong when we drank Aya in Joshua Tree and the UFOs came down? I think not.
Also, the "Mother Ayahuasca" that most report experiencing might not be the most honest spirit you can encounter. "Father Ayahuasca" is a lot more honest when he shows up to take over your journey. Spiritual entities have their own agendas, and rarely give away anything for free, but may not tell you they are going to collect later when you least expect it.
Care to elaborate? I’m interested in alternative viewpoints…
@Tyler Davis The spiritual entities that vie for control of the human species are the product of previous eras of creation, some of which predate the invention of sex as a "divide and conquer" strategy that was sold as a "kiss and make up" idea originally. It may seem like the most divisive issue humanity faces, but is going to be the instrument of our salvation as more folks realize they have been conned into volunteering for Darwin Awards and doomed their souls to beast incarnations by either being useful idiots who enable and empower tyranny by being "nice" or are the predators whose darkness is fed by "niceness"
Yes please elaborate, i'm particularly interested in hearing about the very last part
Well... He is She and She is He. This is not an entity, my friend. It is something beyond our understanding. But yes, you are correct about messing with entities - they do not give nothing for free. But who needs these things... health, prosperity, luck, money, happiness, inspiration - these things are just temporal, an illusion. We are all going to die... and this I learned from Ayahuasca - the hard way ;)
Yes, we all know our mortality as a fact. But this knowing is just a mind game, compared to experiencing and realizing what Death means...
There is no entity in the whole universe who can offer you what the immortal soul require. They all have temporal gifts for us, if we are willing to pay for it. Then we die and we loose these gifts... But we never loose ourselves. And the Self wants freedom... This freedom can not be offered by beings who don't have it.
And now it gets complicated... So I'm not gonna use the word "God" in order not to confuse people.
All be safe with Ayahuasca... It can be really dangerous, if you don't know what you are doing with it.
@barswolf4517 You are wrong, and I'm not your friend, so don't patronize me. There are dark mothers who feed fools with lollipop fantasies aimed at full grown Hansels and Gretels. If you think Ayahuasca only connects you with good spirits, or the spirits that pretend to good aren't possibly using you for their own hidden agendas, you are a fool.
Lex is like Ricky ticky tavy... It is impossible to frighten a mongoose as they are ran through with curiosity
whatever that means
I had the same exact experience my first time. Word for word!!!
This guy is projecting quite a lot and stating things as if they are facts for things that tend to be subjective and different for each individual, when he trivialises mushrooms as just you can feel music better you know the guy is full of sh*t. What he describes is absolutely nothing new at all and totally possible on mushrooms or DMT in Brooklyn. I had it last year just from micro dosing combined with cannabis and it dragged on for 6 months or more, the most horrific cold dark nothingness, waking in panics every night, along with being faced with the worst of the worst characteristics of nature and human beings, empathy just off the charts. One has to be careful to put any 'shamans' on pedestals, they may have much experience with these things but they are still human, the fact he fk'd up the brew even highlights this even more. You are your own shaman at the end of the day as well, self awareness and your experience is everything.
Agreed. One must be careful with these things, and quantity makes a huge difference between trips
The walk through the ride was hilarious, love it!
I ate 27 grams of mushrooms and was still in my body but for 10 hours straight I was in a complete mental breakdown with insane visuals that were absolutely ridiculous and I honestly didn’t understand life I couldn’t even think or stand or walk it was so wild i remember towards the end when I got in front of the mirror and my head was a pumpkin that kept getting bigger and bigger. After ten hours of being in this different state of mind I saw my phone and tried to pick it up but the numbers were just going wild I couldn’t type my password and it was pre facial recognition lol. Eventually I figured out that I accidentally ate mushroom chocolate bars. 4 in total with 16 servings per bar 😂

I can't even trip on mushrooms. If I take enough they just make me so happy I can't help laughing from sheer joy.
I’ve done it like 10 times.
Each time is different, and I do agree that the setting is important.
Beautiful , yet powerful experience
