One of my strongest #ActuallyAutistic traits for most of my life has been being literal. I took people for their word when they said who they were. I consumed culture without noticing much subtext (unless someone pointed it out).

After #Ayahuasca, this changed. I could be rewatching a show and suddenly see the meta-layers. During this period, I could at times feel how new space was unfolding in my mind.

Un pequeño grupo sectario chileno bajo el control de un líder autoritario y violento (y vago) autoproclamado Jesús pronostica el fin del mundo en 2022.

De su base teórica destacan Las Enseñanzas de Don Juan de Castaneda (concepto de guerrero y sacrificio) y el uso de la Ayahuasca (visiones y alucinaciones).

In the #Ayahuasca #feitio at Céu do Planalto, a root part of the #jagube (vine) looked like a giant heart, and my good friend Lou Gold transformed it into an "exploding heart".

In a week where Ash Wenesday coincided with American Valentines Day, a powerful spark!

The Center for the Study of World #Religions hosted an author discussion with Professor Bill Barnard about his recent book, "Liquid Light: #Ayahuasca Spirituality and the Santo Daime Tradition".
The book offers an in-depth immersion into the complex and fascinating world of the #SantoDaime – a relatively new religion that emerged out of the Amazon rainforest region of Brazil in the middle of the twentieth century, and which now has churches throughout the world.

During the #Carnival holiday in #Brazil, it's time for the communal preparation of #Ayahuasca at the Céu do Planalto Community. The men are lined up for the ceremonial processing of the #jagube vine before combining it with the #rainha leaves in the pan.

I’m reading “The Cosmic Serpent – DNA and the origins of knowledge”. I’m only halfway through, but it I can already recommend it to anyone interested in non-human (and human) consciousness, and/or psychedelics.
