Altered States of Consciousness

Goal: To create a logical discussion of the benefits and harms of using psychedelic substances/drugs/chemicals to induce an altered state of consciousness.

Reason: The 60’s counter-culture created by a popularization of psychedelic substances carried with it a number of revolutionary ideas for spiritual evolution. But did these drugs allow a person to venture out of their perspective and...(more)

Journey Help Needed

whoAmI? said Nov 17, 2007, 4:12 PM:
 

Hi everyone.

I am very grateful and thankful for everyone here on this Pod. and i believe someone here can help me. see, i love altered states of consciousness. i've had one intense spiritual experience - and it was absolutely amazing. i looked into herbs that could help me and my friend told me about ayahuasca. the more i read about it, the more i felt a deep connection to it, so i really would like to experience an ayahuasca ceremony with a shaman. if anyone knows more, please write to me.

thank you so much,

much blessing, much love, peace

I've read a bunch of discussions about this in various groups on tribe.net, and they were discussing ayahuasca in the integral institute pod here in zaadz for a time, altho I didn't follow the discussion. I'd try some searches. I gather there are people who travel from city to city doing sessions, it must be possible to assemble a list of names, and figure out where these folks are going to be.

Hi there,
I just returned from a couple of months in Peru where I worked with an amazing shaman named Diego Palma in Pisaq. He has a powerful approach integrating Buddhist meditation (he is Buddhist as well) and Ayahuasca. You can find more info at http://www.ayahuasca-wasi.com.

If you are on Tribe.net, it has a lot of valuable information as well.

These journeys changed my life in magnificient ways.

Blessings and be well…

I'd love to hear descriptions of your experiences and the process and people. Have you written anything about them?

I am endavoring to prepare and drink for the first time 5 days from now. I don’t have acces to a curandero / experienced shaman. However, I am seeking guidance from those with experience on preparing themselves and their own brew. I am also considering taking amanita muscaria with the ayahuasca to invoke that spirit as well. My current spiritual path is Buddhist, Taoist, and Metaphysical.

 

I am grateful for any thoughts or guidance you may have to offer.

Hi Josh - what formulation are you going to use?

Do you have experience with other molecules?

I think taking muscaria WITH ayahuasca has some inherent risks, biochemically. Before I’d try that, I would spend some time studying the medical implications. Offhand, I have no idea how muscarine, muscimol, and ibotenic acid interect with either maoi inhibitors or dmt.

But, I’ve seen people pass out flat on maoi inhibitors.
