Words to consider.
When you drink ayahuasca, and you get to see divinity, you can almost never speak of it because it’s too big for words.

She is the MOTHER of all medicine. A tool to help you find yourself, to know yourself, by destroying the image of who you think you are, and illuminating the truth… This is an inner journey, where only LOVE and FAITH can guide you.

“Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up… This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.”
Terence McKenna
“You have to take seriously the notion that understanding the universe is your responsibility, because the only understanding of the universe that will be useful to you is your own understanding.”

“Through all of history, mankind has ingested psychedelic substances. Those substances exist to put you in touch with spirits beyond yourself, with the creator, with the creative impulse of the planet.”

There is a gathering that is happening across the planet right now. People from all walks of life are becoming aware of new purpose and inner creativity in an extraordinary way… People are waking up and remembering something hidden within their hearts.

Ayahuasca is not a drug in the Western sense, something you take to get rid of something. Properly used, it opens up parts of yourself that you usually have no access to. The parts of the brain that hold emotional memories come together with those parts that modulate insight and awareness, so you see past experiences in a new way.
Dr. Gabor Mate
“Ayahuasca is a catalytic influence in changing global environmental consciousness, which is something that’s got to happen if we’re to get out of the mess we’re in.”
