We often think of pain as intrinsically bad, and the avoidance of pain is a fundamental evolutionary drive of all species. How can we then explain widespread cultural practices like certain rituals that involve the voluntary infliction of physical pain? In this paper, we argue that inflicting and experiencing pain in a ritual setting may serve important psychological and social functions. By providing psychological relief and leading to stronger identification with the group, such practices may result in a positive feedback loop, which serves both to increase the social cohesion of the community and the continuation of the ritual practices themselves. We argue that although the selec-tive advantage of participation lies at the individual level, the benefits of those practices de facto extend to the group level, thereby allowing extreme rituals to function as effec-tive social technologies

Historians of medicine and drugs have long held a view that psychoactive substances conform to cyclical patterns involving intense periods of enthusiasm, therapeutic optimism, critical appraisals, and finally limited use. The duration of this cycle has varied, but this historical model suggests psychedelics are due for a comeback tour. It was just a matter of time.... .

Drugs are laughed about on sitcoms, joked about on panel shows, as well as given a glossy allure on teenage cult shows. Much as I hate to admit it, they are in fact a normal part of modern society. Young people witness their friends not dying from taking drugs all the time. So by simply spouting the “just don’t do it” line and hoping that will be enough of a deterrent, we’re closing our eyes to what’s really going on.

I too struggled with my ayahuasca visions. I had one particularly long messianic journey whereby I was the “one” who could see the entire evolutionary script, past and future, and thus it was my responsibility to save humanity. I was interpreting my visions through some syncretic mixture of millenarianist apocalypse and Judeo-Christian non-sense spurned on by Jose Arguelles’s interpretations of the Mayan calendar conjunct Terence McKenna’s Time Wave Zero. If they would only listen to me …

In her final days of life, Mara underwent carefully supervised psychotherapy sessions under the influence of MDMA, LSD and psilocybin “magic” mushrooms. The treatments eased her pain, and she was able to get out of bed to take walks in a nearby park. The drugs also helped Mara reach a deep sense of acceptance of her imminent death.

SYNOPSIS
Three intrepid travelers are taken a sit into an air plain towards to Iquitos, Peru, to find the magic of the sacred plant, Ayahuasca. From the magical roots of the Peruvian jungle: Above the floating houses that swing through the wild Amazon river, inside the voracious nature that seems trying to swallow with that stunning green; We enter in a deep trip to “try to show with images that which cannot be shown” The Spanish shaman, Tote Escobedo, with Daniel Tello, son of the mythical and known healer called Don Solón Tello, together, they will do a deep look about how tourism and economical interests have distorted an ancestral tradition and how, even nowadays, this holy plant, gives a sign of hope to the human race to connect deep inside the heart and human spirit.
