Ayahuasca: Drug Or Medicine?

---

Hello World

The past few weeks have been relatively tranquil. I would like to get more relaxation in but there is always work to do on the farm...and I now have 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 parrots....and I'm sorry to report, my tortoise just escaped.

I have planted seeds for mandarins, oranges, grapefruit, guava, lemon, camu-camu, cucumber, and a bunch of other lovely fruits and veggies. The seeds are waiting for the rain to come. They say that it rains very hard for all of October, November and December here in the jungle. When the rains start, the dirt road to San Francisco closes and everyone that wishes to go to Pucallpa must take a slow motor boat (peke-peke) to and from the city.

Weeds grow very fast here and there is a never ending task of clearing the land. The water well is still not done after 1 month of digging and a 9 meter hole in the ground. I am secretly drilling for oil but don't tell the locals, okay?...hehe..

There is now a fence around the house and property, solar power, and a small pond that has been created to stop the water that will hopefully start flowing when the rains come. It would be nice to have a few ducks too.

The Fasting:
I am currently not fasting but am eating light and healthy (most of the time). I am working with a very good Shaman in San Francisco: Martin Munoz, who is very connected to the plant medicines and is filled with good energy in the ceremony. I am too occupied at the moment to focus on an ayahuasca diet. However, the work that I am now doing with the medicines is just as intense and eye opening. My plans often change, as I am learning the best way to live is without plans. I don´t know when I will be back in the US but I feel it calling me back in the near future. Possibly 2-3 months.

How has this Ayahuasca..this DRUG...helped me you ask? Well, to set the record straight, the difference between a drug and a medicine is in its usage. Ayahuasca, as well as many other plants that change one's perception of reality, can be abused...like coffee, sugar, meat, processed foods, and cookies. If this, so called drug, is used for obtaining higher knowledge and increasing in wisdom, if used to reconnect to your soul and GOD...then how can it be labeled a drug? It is labeled a drug based on your societie's unwillingness to look at life through a larger perspective. If one sees things from a larger perspective...one will find ugly things...and then will be faced with the choice of ignoring those things...or doing something about them. This is too much trouble for most people to deal with. So, they just call it a drug which frees them from the obligation of gaining an understanding for their self.

What has been my experience?
I have seen the sickness of the world. I have felt the pain of all of humanity and have cried from the depths of my being at what I have seen. I have seen the sickness within my Mind...the Fear based reality that I have been taught to believe in. I have seen that those that are not connecting to their soul, those that continue living disconnected will be removed from this existence. Humanity is evolving. Those who do not seek will not find. We are created in GODS image. Are we not then GODs? When will you wake up and claim the power that is yours? It is time to change the name of the game. Power, Greed, and Fear no longer serve humanity. These things will be leaving shortly. They were necessary for humanity to gain a full understanding of the darkness, in order to more fully know the light. But the Light Is Now Here.

Will you notice the light if your souls eyes are closed?

enlightenment

Hi Joel, sorry we weren't here the other day when you called but i guess the timing was meant to be. alberto has told me of the mountains in nov dec and jan but not the jungle. just knowing you are in a rain forest lets you sit back and feel it. Glad you have so many animal friends to keep you company. very glad you are working with an herbal natural shaman...there is always a gentleness with those who work with the plants and the trees. wish him well for us. your work here is disappearing. soon all of tuscany will be cleared away for your new paintings. love.
