Great intro to how we got here by Steve Beyer "We should also bear in mind that, before the influence of foreign medical models and expectations, ayahuasca was not itself a healing medicine but rather a diagnostic tool. Shamans—and their patients—did not drink ayahuasca for healing; they drank ayahuasca to get information—identity of the seducer of an unfaithful spouse, the secret dealings of a business rival, the location and nature of the malignant darts within the patient’s body. As Cocama shaman don Juan Curico puts it, ayahuasca was used “to screen the disease and to search the treatment” (Beyer 2009). Mestizo shaman don Manuel Córdova Ríos says the same thing: “Ayahuasca, it tells you how, but by itself it cures nothing directly” (Beyer 2009)."

Whether or not you believe in energy, sacred healings or intervening spirits, one thing is for sure: If you enter an ayahuasca experience without the proper care, the joke will likely be on you.

For today’s youth, drug use and the rituals surrounding it satisfy an archetypal need for initiation and quest for meaning inherent to all human beings. The desire to go beyond the ordinary and shallow existence by altering their consciousness could be understood as a search for something deeper within the self that will transform their outer world and infuse it with meaning. There is however a hedonistic principle behind this ephemeral quest for mystery without the proper initiation, sacrifice and the aesthetic demands proper to any true spiritual transformation.

Una sucesión de fundidos a negro comienza a hacerse presente, y va transformando la grabación en una estructura rítmica, en una composición casi hipnótica que consigue convertir este trabajo en una partitura, una colección de fragmentos (rostros, plantas, animales, cielos...) que aciertan a mostrar un entorno natural en perfecta armonía con las palabras, cargadas de sabiduría, que los habitantes de la zona pronuncian ante la cámara del autor mostrando, así, una realidad formada casi por la misma materia con la que están hechos los sueños.
