This is a thread involving the use of ayahuasca.
I have used ayahuasca several times in the last 3 months. The two fun trips I experienced involved the use of Reed Canary grass and Syrian Rue seeds. Both trips involved beautiful colors of green, purple, and blue, and a strong sense of divinity or God.(whatever you want to call it.)
After several good trips I had decided it was time to move onto a more advanced level of ayahuasca use. For those who do not know, ayahuasca is considered the most powerful hallucenegenic known to man/woman. It is also known that ayahuasca is used by shamans, in other countries, to heal people in the spriritual sense. The drug, when used for healing, is meant to manifest our darker side (the Hitler in us) and dispel it so that we can live a more rich life, free of any troubling thoughts that we might be dealing with from time to time. These thoughts my involve jealousy, rage, anger, hatred, and bitterness. Dispelling these thoughts can only be done through the help of a shaman who has years of experience with ayahuasca.
Several days ago I took my first advanced level of ayahuasca, and I will say that it was not something I care to repeat without the guideance of someone who is experienced with the drug. What I experienced was sheer terror and I am lucky I didn't hurt myself.
When the drug took effect I felt the typical feeling one feels when taking lsd or shrooms. The first body rush was a pleasurable experience that involved the feelings of superiority. I closed my eyes to enjoy the euphoria and the first thing I saw was a large, green snake. This snake was very real and not just part of the trip. I was then overcome with the realization that the snake was inside of me, and not only inside of me, but also part of my deepest being.......I was a snake. This realization was so intense that I felt that I was turning into a snake and there was no way out. (This is the darker side of us that the shamans use magic and chants to dispel out of us.) I then realized that there was a dragon/alien type being in my back bedroom and that it was coming out to the living room to completely take over my mind and turn me into a snake, and that once I was a snake I would be one forever. The sheer terror that I felt was overwhelming. The only thing I could remember was that if you regurgitate, the effect of the drug will decrease. I immediately ran over to the sink and threw up, and within 3 seconds the terror left and I felt much better. But to my shock, the drug had been in my stomache for too long and now the effects would have to run their course. I was going for a ride and there was no way off the roller coaster.
For the next three hours I lived on the edge of insanity. Snakes crawled on the ground, a lion appeared in my head, paranoia about aliens getting me. It seemed as if I was in a haunted house and there was no way out. My only saving grace was a friend named Jolene. She had always told me that if I ever had a bad trip from ayahuasca or peyote it would be ok to call her. And that is what I did. She talked me down and helped me deal with the terror that I was going through. After several hours the drug began to wear off and I felt normal once again. Although yesturday I felt the feelings of insanity for most of the day, I once again feel like a normal person this morning.
Ayahuasca is a powerful drug. It should not be used for recreational use. I have heard testimony after testimony of people being healed by the shamans through the use of ayahuasca, but the drug should be used with their accompaniment.
It is my experience that this drug should be used with great care and carefulness. I felt the terror of it but I also realize the healing power in the drug. Although I will never use it recreationally again, I have already decided to take a trip to South America to experience ayahuasca under the direction of a shaman, and experience its healing power.
This is just a friendly warning. This is not about ego. I'm a tuff guy. I've boxed for ten years, I've been on ten day hiking trips in the wilderness alone, and I even had a gun pointed in my face one time and it didn't scare me a bit. Ayahuasca was my first experience with real fear. In fact, I wouldn't call it fear, I would call it terror. Please, be careful with its use. If the curiosity gets the better of you, I would suggest spending 1500 dollars and spending a couple of weeks with the shamans in South America.
