Many classic films of the silent era, including some very popular ones, have been lost. But sometimes they come back. Such is the case with The Daughter of Dawn, a full-length silent picture
shot in the Wichita Mountans of southwest Oklahoma in 1920. Its cast was made up of some 300 Comanche and Kiowa Indians. The male lead was played by White Parker, and another substantial role was played by Wanada Parker — both of them children of the celebrated Comanche chief Quanah Parker. The film “includes a four-way love story, two buffalo hunt scenes, a battle scene, village scenes, dances, deceit, courage, hand to hand combat, love scenes, and a happy ending. The Indians, who had been on the reservation less than fifty years, brought with them their own tipis, horses, clothing, and material culture.”
The entire film is about Indians and includes two scenes of buffalo hunts; at no point do cowboys or the U.S. cavalry intrude..
I love how beautiful and simple the exotic white dialect is. Because it has less words and lacks any logical grammar, it just sounds so peaceful, calming, and real. You can just feel the emotion when you listen to them speak. It varies from tribe to tribe, but throughout the white motherland is basically the same. I took a two-week service trip to build a McDonalds with authentic white food and lived with an authentic white family, so I know. It’s so sad that they’ve started using civilized words from modern languages, “cash” and “pajama.” It must be because there’s no concept of cash in white culture. Did you know they have twenty different words for “coffee” but no word for “self-aware?”

The assessment of the impact of long-term ayahuasca use on mental health from various perspectives (personality, psychopathology, neuropsychology, life attitudes and psychosocial well-being) did not find evidence of pathological alterations in any of the spheres studied. Although ayahuasca-using subjects differed in some personality traits, differences did not fit with a pathological profile. Furthermore, ayahuasca users showed a lower presence of psychopathological symptoms compared to controls. They performed better in neuropsychological tests, scored higher in spirituality and showed better psychosocial adaptation as reflected by some attitudinal traits such as Purpose in Life and Subjective Well-Being. Overall differences with the control group were still observable at follow-up one year later.
For decades, the U.S. government banned medical studies of the effects of LSD. But for one longtime, elite researcher, the promise of mind-blowing revelations was just too tempting.

This paper advances a “shamanic approach to drug abuse and addiction”, what I will call the Amethyst Path. What our modern culture typically calls “addicts” are misguided shamans who, having had a “thirst for wholeness” and sacred ecstasy, ventured into the realm of substance use only to end up compulsively consuming their “drug of choice”. While their “Will to Party” might be an innate, natural and healthy urge, without the shamanic wisdom of “controlled use”, many end up in self-destructive cycles of misuse and over-consumption. But, thankfully, these misguided shamans can become “wounded healers” with the gift of bringing health and happiness to others who suffer. While ceasing to use totally or perhaps just ceasing to over-consume substances, it is imperative that they find healthy ways to “dance with Dionysus”, keeping sacred ecstasy as part of their lives.
Addicts have absolutely nothing in common with shamans since a shaman is a very wise person and the former is usually traumatized and emotionally immature - always seeking some form of comfort. Perhaps more research on trauma is needed and on why addicts keep their pain in check. Also, I suggest that you try Ibogaine or Ayahuasca to really understand what it is about. These ceremonies are cleansing and help to bring the fragments together. We all are brainwashed one way or another, not just addicts, and there is no need to compare them to wounded shamans. The emotional immaturity of addicts is what really is stopping them to become whole, Drugs do not help this at all, however, guided ceremonies might help to untangle all their confusion. The trouble with addicts is that they often suffer from too much anxiety due to past events and from recurring negative thought patterns (shame, guilt, anger, resentment, self-loathing, etc). Obviously, there no wisdom to be obtained by the constant use of drugs. When one stops living in the past and worrying about the future, then there is a chance to become whole. In essence, the goal is to eliminate conflicts and guided use of strong alkaloids can help catalyze this process with a cleansing effect of body and mind as well as spirit. The pineal gland is detoxified and can allow proper blood flow to the brain areas and needed to resume normal/balanced endocrine function. Like a reset button, this can remove all traces of trauma in the memory and allow for new neural connections to take place. The experience is always described very subjectively because we use symbolism and preconceived notions to express the release of this negative energy.
I agree because I understand what he's trying to say: starting using drugs means searhing something. In ancient society this search was recognized and guided by saviour mans, and than the searcher become a Shaman. In our society this calling is misunderstood, and ones becomes an addict. But with some fortune, he can escape his addiction finding a path, and, than, he can teach others to escape too.
Sorry for my bad english, I hope it is understandable ;-)
Dr Richard Dawkins, author of books such as The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion, is famous for his materialist views about the nature of reality and his belief that “the supernatural… can never offer us a true explanation of the things we see in the world and the universe around us.” Graham Hancock, pointed out to Dr Dawkins that many traditional hunter-gather cultures believe there are other realities — spirit worlds and so on and so forth — and concrete techniques, such as the use of psychoactive plants, to access them.
