this uneducated. j*w. is perpetuating what the media does today with misinformation.
Sounds like that shaman almost did it intentionally. Like, one more blast off before I'm done. Dude went out with a BANG KAPOW!!! The shaman just didn't want to go there alone and took a small crowd with him. Hahaha!!!
"I'm going to Ukraine."
Ugh.
it is always the same fallacy. try 20gr.of mushrooms and then tell us if it is much lighter.
PSA: please do the research and make sure to sit with who is recommended and trusted. 🙏💚
I could remember several years ago I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually addicted to crack. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Ireland. Really need!
YES very sure of Dr.medshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms.Lsd and psilocybin are amazing teachers along its dmt mah dudes have safe trips all. Shrooms are blessings from nature.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
It's not wise to underestimate the power of mushrooms. For example, my brother used to call them "the fruits" and thought they were weak compared to DMT. But one day, we found a super potent strain that sent us into hyperspace.
We took the same modest dose (3 grams each), but it felt like the mushrooms had something to prove to my brother. While I had one of the best experiences of my life, my brother barely made it through. It just goes to show that mushrooms can be way more than just introspection and feeling the music.
Yah Terrence McKenna talks about the right strain of mushrooms with the correct dose will deliver a ayahuasca or dmt experience.
Yeah you can blast off on shroomies. I've eaten a whole ounce before(was about 3/4 dry) and it was insane and I did ketamine while peaking. I'm an Odinist and it was like the all father ripped me out of reality and showed me how the dimensions of reality breaks down at at least like 9 layers and he had me outside of that looking in and showed me that there were beings/entities too made up of or crossing through multiple layers and I had the impression he was showing me these were what we consider "gods" and whatnot himself being one of them. It was a very intense experience.
No doubt. Mushrooms are sacred medicine, way more than just feeling music.
@@ghagzor nazi fascist bs
@@ghagzor
God has no image- the shrooms were showing you false deities, Odin being one of them.
I did ayahuasca once. One of the best experiences I’ve had, took me off depression medication. Doesn’t have to be in the Forrest, anywhere you’re truly comfortable.
are you still off it my friend? I am stepping off my ssri as we speak, its a blend of nervousness and excitement that I have my retreat coming up in about a month.
@@phonxeno8831 remember it just helps with the chemical Balance in your brain. At some point you will understand it’s all in your head. there’s more to life than what it was i was sad about. You’ll be dead in less than 100 years and the world will keep spinning, in death you will become nothing, returning to everything. Life is the experience you choose to make it. Doesn’t make sense not to make the choice to be happy, be appreciative. Challenge yourself to experience the things you want to experience. Life is about the experience. Good and bad, can’t have one without the other.
Where to find that ??
@@phonxeno8831where I could find it in Nc?
@@zackypoobaby very well said
Ayahuasca is one of the most incredible things I've done in my life. Don't get me wrong it made me face some deep rooted fears which were awful but it also made me feel love like I've never felt before, as if gold was radiating from my heart. Having a shaman sing seemed to help too and just made the experience all the more special
As for me I think it's profoundly sad that so many people want to poison themselves with this shit because they find life unsatisfying and are unable to make those connections intellectually. Listening to accounts such as this one in the video makes me glad I never made such a choice. I can wake up from a night of bad dreams feeling grateful I'm "back" in what passes for normal reality and I suppose grateful for the insights my own subconscious has offered me. You can keep every hallucinogen out there, I'm good.
This sounds awful hard pass
@@Raygo. I think it's oversimplification to think people do it because they find life unsatisfying. I've never done a hallucinogen, but it seems fascinating. Some people are curious about our reality and want to explore another side that's hidden to us in our regular state. People are searching for the answer to life and the universe. Escapists look for any drug; these people are looking for enlightenment.
@@S5King7 But why is it believable that hallucinations reveal "another side that's hidden to us in our regular state"? To me it seems more like a kind of madness is unleashed, when the brain is destabilized by the toxins and normal consciousness breaks down. Personally, I cannot accept that "enlightenment" comes from drug-induced delirium.
@@Raygo. you don’t have to partake but there’s nothing wrong with those that do lol calm down
I just got back from a 3 day ceremony last week (which seems like just yesterday but also another lifetime ago) and I can tell you, it was the most intense and profound thing I’ve ever done. It’s painful and beautiful all at the same time. It was like I was being scolded by my mother followed by her warm loving embrace. The pain was the deepest and most soul-wrenching, ego-shattering experience ever, but the love was a love that I didn’t even know existed or that I was even capable of. I’m truly humbled by the power of the medicine! It has given me so much clarity and has opened my eyes to so many truths about myself and this world. Heavy stuff and Best week of my life!
Beautiful!! About to head to one in July! ❤
You have been deceived. God did not give you a spirit of drunkenness, wherein is excess, and you are easily taken advantage of. God, your perfect maker, gave you a sound, sober mind. He does not require an altered state to reveal himself to you, as your so called “mother” does. This is what rapists require of their victims. The Lord our God and Father is desperately seeking you. Please, brother, repent and trust Christ.❤
@@liabw05 don't listen to Ben he's been brainwashed. Ayahuasca truly is an amazing experience, you'll experience geniune love out there, not the two faced bullshit the bible spews out. Go for it girl
@@BenVanCamp you sound like one of the religious nuts I’ve been trying to run away from all my life. God can be found through different ways and practices. Please don’t act like you know the “only way”. This medicine, when used correctly, with the right intentions and in the right atmosphere, can be very good and saves many lives. Please go away with your negativity and extremism.
@@BenVanCamp You need to try a bigger dose next time.
As someone who has visited Grandmother 68 times I can confirm a couple of things: you will be humbled, and you will be healed. Oh and btw, i've not done it in the jungle, so i guess i don't know anything. lol.
I think the lack of light pollution and being surrounded by millions of living organisms vs just a crowded city might be the deciding difference between the 2 experiences.
I'm more curious doing it out in the ocean, obviously with people that can ensure your safety but I'd be curious how the tiny organisms in the water and lack of light nor land will affect it.
Every single time I did it, it always felt out of context - it needs the context of the jungle.
I've done both. The jungle is unique and special, but it's quite arrogant to say it doesn't count unless done in the jungle. I've had beautiful experiences outside of the jungle.
But there are also millions of living organisms in a city
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed all these responses
When someone says “I wanna see where my mind breaks.” I can almost guarantee they’ll have an extremely challenging trip. You’ll get exactly what you ask for.
Lex says it like some edgy teenager who doesn't know what the fuck he's getting into. The interviewee was even like "....no. This isn't some ice plunge." He could tell Lex has no idea what he's talking about.
Yup. For my intention I said I wanted to end distractions in my life and I thought i was doing myself a favor but boy oh boy that was a tough journey. Forever grateful nonetheless. I eagerly await my next journey
Same with Ibogaine
Exactly you need to just let it flow through you.....what all hallucinogenics do to different degrees of intensity is shut off your consciousness's filter we develope a filter from very early in the womb because our senses take in millions of bites of information every second and it's hard to process so we develope a filter tripping turns that filter way down and sometimes off and the worst thing you can do is fight it you just have to let it flow through you
This is exactly why I will never take such drugs. I will be so busy thinking ‘’whatever you do don’t think negative thoughts’’ that I end up having them etc
“The jungle is where you have the real experience” followed by “yeah, my shaman didn’t really know wtf he was doing”
It's bullshit that you need to be in the jungle. Where you are and who you are is irrelevant. They are both simple constructs and boundaries that as mckenna famously said are dissolved by the experience
@@everything777 yeah honestly id way prefer to just do it at home. doing it with a bunch of random people you dont know in a place you're not familiar with doesn't sound like a good time to me.
He sounded like such a white guy saying this.
Exit and entry point doesn't matter. Being humble. Nature is relaxing and our way to escape the machine of society. A Forrest is good.
😂😅 Real life's jungle 😅
this guys account of ayauasca is very specific to him. please don’t think your experience will be the same. every person has a story and the medicine taps in to that. anyone with a remote interest in trying ayauasca should heed the call.
The feeling of gratitude afterwards that he describes is one of the most beautiful things one could eve experiences, it makes you realize that nothing is important, only feeling being around your people and friends and chiling with everyone, that's the thing we need to feel happy and fullfilled in life.
I’d never try it but it fascinates me and love to hear people’s life changing experience.
You can just smoke DMT too, it doesn't last hours. Trip is usually like 6 minutes lol
@@ghagzor its tough to make yourself do a breakthrough dose since you have to do 3 big hits and by the time your are inhaling the second you are already slipping.l
Don't take these jews word for it
@@carbon-based-lifeform9172 any rational discourse? or just hates based ad hominem?
It can’t be THAT life changing of everyone comes back and is basically the same exact person when they come back. Just with some new annoying story to tell everyone
"And in our culture, if you hear voices we have mental hospitals for you. If you are able to see vast visions of the future, we have drugs that you know, can calm you down." - Terence McKenna
Done both multiple times. Mushroom can take you there too it just depends on how much you take it. And you don't have to be in a jungle. If it happens, it happens. It doesn't matter where you're sitting You're going somewhere else.
I was thinking the same. If you take a heroic dose of mushrooms its the same as a huge hit of dmt. When i took my heroic dose of shrooms i was atoms being smashed together, then i was a sun smashing into another sun, then i was snow being smashed together, then a water molecule falling down a plug hole, it was a never ending rebirth of all these different things for hours amd hours. I then woke up naked in the hall outside my flat! Hahaha. Smaller amounts ive met entities and aliens though
@@stu7610I've consumed DMT 4 times and tons of mushroom doses, however I once consumed 6g of mushrooms. Both were completely different, however the strongest trip was my 2nd DMT trip. I saw what death "was like" (according to my mind, perhaps it's just what i wanted to see). I hopefully will travel to Brazil or Peru in 2024 in order to try ayahuasca.
Yeah, I've done 10G dried, and it was pretty unbelievable. I've been to "the place" several times on a few different things top shelf stuff. Lucy is more like futuristic space aliens stuff. Caps is Mother Earth Aztec signs and a familiar feeling....Craaaazy stuff, though. And DMT was just too much I was just happy to be normal again lol
With mushrooms it's like doing a trip to Safari. 3 to5 G is like watching on a high definition TV 5 to 10 g it's like being there but driving inside vehicle 10 to 20 g is like packing a backpack and a gun and being on foot by yourself surrounded by all the wildlife, you just don't know until you try it.
Mushrooms been around on this planet long long before any ayahuasca or any plant or animal. If not mushrooms there would be no Ayahuasca or humans. There is definitely some higher intelligence in them or some kind of message encoded. Mushroom spores can survive travel in space, something to think about it.
@@chrisnagorka2776 love Aya but the problem for me is "entertainment" of music etc
Love shrooms. Will do my first 6g after last 5.5 .
I'm so curious what it's like on 10 or 20!
Can't wait, but I'm the kind of person going there slowly every few months. So by the time I'll pass 10 , it will be like two years 😂😂😂
I've only journeyed with La Madre four times, and not in the jungle (although in a forest at least.) I'm afraid what Paul experienced was basically an overdose. My very last ceremony was pretty scary, but full of teaching. It felt like I was being invited somewhere that I wasn't ready to go, so the fear came in my resistance. In the end, she gently let me go and told me that she would show me when I was ready. Even then, when I was holding on to my shaman's chant for dear life (even she told me it was a heavy batch,) I still felt the overwhelming love that comes with the visitation, and the gratitude that inevitably pours out of me for receiving that unconditional, universal love. The kind I didn't get when I was growing up. Anyway, kudos to Paul for all he does to help stave off the destruction of the Earth's ultimate life engine. I need to get down there soon while I still have a stomach for adventure.
Ayahuasca was the greatest experience i have ever had. It was scary and beautiful. It took work.
👆👆The handle above has the best tips and stuffs for micro dosing shrooms, psych meds, dmt trips, psilocybin and ships swiftly 🍄…..
You’ve been to the jungle?
@@OMGiTzCeeJay Yes. I have been 4 times.
yea my last journey in Bahia Brazil's jungles was dark. very scary, very beautiful. literally healed me from personality disorder
Just sharing that I had a serious drinking problem in my twenties. Couldn’t stop.
My brothers and I went to the Utah desert and took LSD.
I’d never taken it, and I took a bunch over a weeks time.
To say that it was profound is an understatement. Within the next few months, I stopped drinking and smoking pot completely with no cravings whatsoever. After 25 years, I decided to drink and smoke again. Bad idea?
Well it’s ten years later, and I’m fine. No cravings. Happy family life, fun times, difficult times…no matter.
No residual addiction effects.
My gen x peers and I suffered immensely under a corrupt drug war that made the cure for the problem illegal.
Perhaps a future in politics should require a minimum of one psychedelic experience before claiming the throne. 🐾💕
It's called self-control otherwise you can still drink and smoke. That's what a lot of people don't have when they do drugs.
What was your experience like?
Most politicians would probs freak the fuck out if they took lsd lol
@@jmoney1941 Hi, just to clarify, I took one tab a day for 5 days. I don’t know how strong they were. But it was like everything slowed down gradually over the week.
Then on the last day, I was watching a cloud pass over a peak thinking to myself, my life is going to be ruined, I’ll never be able to stop drinking. It’s too powerful. Then a voice, or some feeling, said, “yes you can, just do it.”
And that was it. The craving was gone. Vaporized. It wasn’t even a big deal. In fact, it was almost humorous. Like a Nike commercial. That’s what impressed me the most. It was like it had been waiting for me to ask. I hope that makes sense.
Do you still drink?
Aya isn’t about the jungle, it’s the earth. It’s profoundly universal. None of what he describes is unusual. Aya is a medicine to be experienced many times. Through that continuity one enters into relationship w the earth - beyond the human.
Exactly, it should be done in nature but it's stupid to think you have to buy a plane ticket to a certain part of the world to experience what's intended
🌿💚
No. If your don’t do it in the jungle, your a racist.
Aye ok Mr shaman
Your state of mind will be wherever you are. I have no doubt the Jungle is the craziest place to take it. What do you think you senses feels when THE RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE is on? Compared to the nature in every other part of the world. I know you "leave" our thought of the world - but it will still affect where you go from where you are. You hear birds, monkeys, rizzling bushes - you're ACTUALLY totally disconnected from our world, but connected to the EARTH. I rumble, but my point stands: NO PLACE TO TAKE DRUGS LIKE DEEP IN THE JUNGLE. NON.
I love how the lens bends as Lex opens up about plunging.
Ayahuasca showed me that there is only one being in existence. There is nothing outside of it and it never had it beginning. It cannot choose to not exist but it becomes unconscious and experiences different dimensions and illusions of separation in order to escape the true reality of eternal existence. But the ultimate theme it taught me was that everything and nothing are the same thing. Nothing exists because existence is impossible, therefore everything exists. Both are the same.
Seems like Ayahuasca showed you nothing ?
@@MonlopoMANand the purpose of your ignorant comment is?
Yeah your comment makes no sense bro
Jonno ❤
Head shoulders knees and toes knees and toes
When your shaman trips so hard he has to retire, you know your ayahuasca experience is certified 😁😁

?lnstagram!!!!
Good one!
I did it in the middle of a rainforest in BC. Doesn’t have to be jungle. Shamon makes a big difference also.
I did ayahuasca at a place in Costa Rica called rythmia. Totally changed my life, had a full blown out of body experience and gave me unfathomable insight about the universe.
Crazy to hear all this storys.
It encurages me to drink again, but to drink more cups to go deeper.
I aprreciate it
Rythmia is an overpriced influencer resort
Rythmia is a for profit Western based center and not an authentic shamanic center... it is most like the one the Self Help American Gurus have invested interest on them.... People like Deepa Chopra and the like I mean $$.
Nice place. I first did mine in my own front living room. £15 expense. For some that might not be a good idea, I was thorough in my research and preparation. I believe there is an extra magic if you cook your own brew whilst focussing on your intentions. My ignorance was perfect in not even considering some would find my ceremony disrespectful. Yet at the heart of what I was doing was deeply honouring of the core essence of traditional ceremony yet in my own personalised way. I have learned for my own experience it’s not where and with who that holds the power in the experience with ayahuasca but the courage you bring to confront yourself once and for all. The courage to rip open your soul and observe who you really are.
How many of you think you are spinning on a ball in space
This is a good one, that's crazy, really real, two men, sitting, talking about those places you only really understand when you're there and their curiosity about these places. Much love.
Yeah I work at an Ayahuasca church and I see miracles every week.
The jungle may be great but not necessary.
Much love everyone 🙏🏼❤️😊
It's very interpersonal and that's what he's tied to, but you should know that already
do you mean cult?
ayahuasca church sounds an awfull lot like a cult
They use to put weed in the smoke incent for Christian masses so never mind the people that say it sounds like a cult. I think dmt is needed in church to reset a person right. I would have made a lot less mistakes in my life if I did it in church
U in Florida? My friend went to one there a few years ago and I’m considering
Took a tab a few years ago that was similar to this. It started like a euphoric high youd get on shrooms with the warm feelings, uncontrollable laughter and intense light tracing. Then you really get into it and its lasts like 12 hours.
One point in the night i wondered into the bathroom and sat on the toilet with the lid down. It was a white-tiled bathroom. My eyes slid to the corner , on the floor, where the tub makes a natural corner. I saw what it would look like if humans ceased to exist. It started with simple weeds and grass and grew before me until the entire room looked like it returned to the forest. It was a time lapse that started with dull white and ended with bright greens and browns . It was intense.
Its a rollercoaster for sure because your high forever. You really experience some really mind blowing highs and feel interconnected to low lows where youre laying in bed and catch glimpses of demons shadows flying across your ceiling.
I was not spiritual but after I become spiritual and I was in peace for 2 weeks. Also was very connected to nature.
What he's describing is ego death which is something I see every now and then pop up. His description of "feeling like an animal" is exactly how I thought it would feel. Turns you into an autonomous bug brain thing.
Wow I am thankful for the gifts we have… this man explains it so elegantly
I’ve done it like 10 times.
Each time is different, and I do agree that the setting is important.
Beautiful , yet powerful experience
You gotta love these two guys for the absolute conviction to curiosity and exploration!
I had somewhat of a similar experience where the shamans made the brew too strong and many people in the group left the next day. They were all terrified and shook up. I was plunged into the most frightening experience of my life and it was beyond horrific. The next couple of times I did it, it was not near as bad because they used a less potent brew.
Wow. That really makes me not want to do it... That sounds terrible
There isn't such a thing as "too strong" with Ayahuasca. However, there is such a thing as improper facilitation and adulterated medicine.
@@elChulachaki yeah they probably put toe or whatever in it. All I know is that everyone was freaking out and having bad trips. That was in Ecuador and the Shamens were indigenous people too.
What was the experience like? You mention frightening, in what way?
@@GavinDuncan391 it is very difficult for me to write this experience down on a CZcams comment box. Let’s just say for sake of being short, I went face to face with torturous eternal hell and a being who some know as Yaldabaoth. It was a being who has a body of a feathered serpent with the head of a dragon mixed with a lion and I was suspended in air in a tunnel of sorts trying with all my might to fly up and out. The experience was more real than this realm and the pain was unbearable and there was no escape. The being overpowered me in every way, it knew my thoughts and shocked me with immense pain every time I tried to rest so that I could not rest from trying to escape. I had never imagined there could be such a terrible thing as what I experienced. It took me years but I eventually found Jesus Christ as my savior. Now I know I am saved by Christ so I will not ever have to go back there. There is more but that was the worst of it.
I've communed with grandfather over 70 times, grandmother 68x and mushrooms at least 44x. There is a qualitative difference between the experiences and no real hierarchy. That said, grandmother is special. There's an innate intelligence to her ability to identify exactly what you need to heal and learn and she goes right there. Every. Single. Time. That is remarkable to me. Miraculous.
What’s grandfather?
@@pseudohuman2645 huachuma. Wachuma. San Pedro.
Grandmother tried to violate me.
❤
I find dmt in its pure form does the same. It is remarkable. Something is very special about it’s Union with us humans, it feels fundamental. Probably cuz it is.
I hope to do aya some day at the right time
I am 50 now, i have never done anything ever and i never will, but is very interesting to listen others experience.
Really nice when the interviewe is interested in the interviewer and makes such a good description of Lex
Every one's fear is not," coming back", yet here you are. You all needed to come back with deep appreciation for your life. That's what we are here to discover. You got it, no need to get it again.
I’ve done Aya 2x at the same place. The first time was the most intense. I drank 5x. The lessons and purging were intense. But the message I got is that we are all love and love is the universal vibration. The second time was when my
Son was 8 months old. I only needed to drink 1x and the whole time I just felt the most intense love for my
Baby. Unexplainable. It brought me to uncontrollable sobbing. I rode the waves and welcomed all she brought without resistance until finally right at the very end when the lights came on and everyone was done with their journey, I purged hard. Aya brought me to God.
Duuude Sober Up!
That’s beautiful man. I’ve got a 3 year old and a 6 week old…I totally get it. It takes bravery to go to that place-but it can show us what we take for granted and bring us more presence with our loved ones
well...i cant definitively say that the luv stuff isnt really a happenin in this earthly realm though. much more pain, suffering, misery than luv going on. always has been, and im guessing always will be.
it could be much better for many here if the folks at the top of the pyramid would simply lighten up some. but they wont, b/c they relish in controlling, enslaving, and hurting people on a mass scale.
Dude… as someone who has done Ayahuasca twice I can say that drinking 5 times is fucking epic! Unless you drank VERY FAST I can’t understand how your body dealt with that much medicine. Your trip must have been ……
You need a drug to feel love for your baby? Lol!
Really nicely articulated.
i never done ayahuasca, but ive done 6 months of DMT, some of his descriptions are pretty similar to how i describe my experiences.
i got to say its probably the most incredible thing ive ever experienced in my whole life, and i had a pretty eventful one at that
dmt and even toad venom is a really great experience, when it's smoked it gets metabolized within 20 minutes that's why the trips are pretty short. when you eat dmt your stomach enzymes dissolve it, but with ayahuasca the brew has an enzyme inhibitor that allows the dmt to be metabolized by your liver so it lasts several hours
both are great experiences i hope you get to experience both one day
“Pizza outside of New York ain’t Pizza” vibes.
That is the reality of everything, if a place is attached to it it means something.
“Na bro you’ve never and can never be as high as I was”
yeah it is offputting
Haha yeah don't be THAT guy. 😂😂
Right? It was like he was being a one upper, lol. Now I know you've been high, but you've never been doing ayahuasca in the jungle high! 😃
@@mroiz or the guy that says, "Yeah you might get good weed but not the good weed I can get. Nobody around here can get kush that good." 👀 👀 Ugh. 😩
😂😂😂 so true
Love the short rendition ..to get a tad of euphoria, you two are great together. Like soul brothers, incredibly, dynamic..

Graham Hancock said something that has stayed in my mind and that is that there are 50,000 or more species of plants in the Amazon and somehow a plant and the root of a vine were put together and processed in a very complex way to have the ayahuasca concoction due its duty. Think about that! The chances of putting those two plants together are astounding.
think about how many plants they mixed that had 0 effect or bad effects before they found the right ones, probably took a long time before someone figured it out.
@@conorhennell2623 SOME ANIMALS WOULD EAT ONE PLANT AND THEN ANOTHER?
This seems like it's fake news just based off of my common sense. There's many more plants that contain DMT itself. The monoamine oxidase inhibitor is the key find. So it ups the chances of getting a dmt brew considerably. There's likely been many shittier DMT brews with different DMT sources in the past until they got the current version with chacruna as the DMT source.
@@GamingTakesPride GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. You could very well be right. What is astounding is how they have to brew the root for hours and add the plant and do all kinds of chemistry-like things to end up with the right mixture. It was most likely trial and error, but it is still amazing how those two plants produce such a potent substance.
@@conorhennell2623 well I mean, homo sapiens have been here for a while, between 13,000 to 180,000 years in between? If surviving from plants in that area still remains as a common habit, I'm guessing our species had plenty of time to play chemistry around
The walk through the ride was hilarious, love it!
As someone who has done 42 ceremonies, in the jungle, in the span of 2 and 1/2 months, you do not want to experiment with seeing where your mind breaks. The purge of emotional and physical trauma that came in the following years was beyond destructive, in my case. Ayahuasca doesn't stop working when you leave the ceremony space. It's a life long process and once you commit, there is no turning back.
I have many regrets and wish I would have done things differently but given the chance to change what happened, I don't think I would. I still don't understand why I feel that way.
My point is that Ayahuasca is incredibly powerful and life changing, sometimes it can break the strongest of people who never end up coming back. I consider myself extremely lucky to have some kind of spiritual protection that pulled me out of the spiral I went into.
Look up this dude I got my stuff from him on instagram and telegram he ship to anywhere--

I'm not fully understanding are you saying that aya can be harmful? If so, in what ways? How would it break you?
@@ThatHoosierKid17 everything can be harmful and Ayahuasca is no exception.
Even if you don't face your trauma in the ceremony space, you will eventually face it. It's a very powerful medicine that continues to work even years after a couple of ceremonies.
One of the problems with the plant medicine world, that I observed, is that so many people want to heal and ascend that there's a lot of encouragement to keep doing ceremonies. In my case, I was still young and wanted to change so badly that I followed whatever everyone else was doing. Even with extensive experience with psychedelics, nothing prepares you for how deep Ayahuasca goes. So I followed along and did a lot of ceremonies, a lot of plant dietas, purgatives and when I came out of the jungle, I did a lot of San Pedro in the Andes mountains.
It was great at the time but I should have showed more control and mindfulness because the real trauma purge came much later after I had stopped all psychedelics and it almost drove me crazy. Imagine 15 years of hurtful, negative, and repressed emotions coming to the surface and being forced to face them all at once.
What I'm trying to say is that the road to healing is a life long journey and it's important not to rush it because it will break your mind.
It wasn't just me that this happened to. I also witnessed close friends all start to lose their shit in very different and terrifying ways.
The worst I saw was a guy who traveled around from hostel to hostel, burning them down.
If too much unconscious material is experienced, more than the conscious mind is ready for, people can have psychotic breaks/psychosis.
I hit the threshold of a psychotic break during my ceremonies, and it is truly terrifying. I am still recovering, getting a lot of support, and setting boundaries with the divine/my Higher Self, “No, I do not want to experience any more unconscious material right now, I need support, I will let you know when I’m ready.”
Your physical, psychological, emotional regulation of your nervous system has to be considered.
Anyway, I wouldn’t regret it. Just giving a word of caution- take care of yourself. We all want to “feel better” but usually it’s not about that, it’s about getting “better at feeling”.
And that starts in the here and now, lucidly in the conscious, waking stage. Good luck and big hugs to all on the healing journey. I’m with you 💛.
Set and Setting.
I think it goes beyond a "dedication to curiosity." I think it has more to do with a primordial calling, of what one came here to do. And that the fearlessness comes from knowing that the Universe has your back in the endeavor, because it is that very endeavor that the universe sent you here for in the first place.
Plot twist the " shaman " is actually from Brooklyn and dresses up for the Tourists.
lol for real, big business selling this shit to all those hippie type white people
Absolutely poetic, the way he recounts this. I will say, after his mushroom comment, I get the notion that he's never gone too deep, but, this was really excellent to listen to.
I can recommend you where I get my stuff from an online store, he's got Shrooms, Gummies, Microdose, Dmt, Lsd, Vape Pens, Carts, Cannabis, alongside other dope Psychedelics stuffs well Refined ships discreetly to anywhere also guide you if you're a newbie;;;....
You can reach him via Instagrams, also on Telegram with The below handle

What is it like to go "too deep?" Can you please explain? Thanks.
Great story.Sounded intense.
This really brought back good memories and remembering my ayahuasca joyrney in the jungle last year ❤️
Nice to see Serj Tankian on the podcast.
Underrated comment
#B.Y.O.D.M.T 🤘🏽😆
I ate 27 grams of mushrooms and was still in my body but for 10 hours straight I was in a complete mental breakdown with insane visuals that were absolutely ridiculous and I honestly didn’t understand life I couldn’t even think or stand or walk it was so wild i remember towards the end when I got in front of the mirror and my head was a pumpkin that kept getting bigger and bigger. After ten hours of being in this different state of mind I saw my phone and tried to pick it up but the numbers were just going wild I couldn’t type my password and it was pre facial recognition lol. Eventually I figured out that I accidentally ate mushroom chocolate bars. 4 in total with 16 servings per bar 😂

I can't even trip on mushrooms. If I take enough they just make me so happy I can't help laughing from sheer joy.
Aya was such a beautiful experience for me🌿💚
I did acid regularly during my teen years. I dosed mushrooms later in life , perhaps that effected my experience.
The mushroom subtle, explained things in layers.
Near the end, it didn't vocalize but I understood, it could show me more but if I agreed, I'd cease my form in this reality from ,not boredom per se, but a knowledge that made this pointless.
I quickly backed away . At the time I was excepting my age and maybe excepting death , but this moment of finality made me recognize I've still a few things I'd like to experience.
i love the way friedman reads his notes , closes his eyes and pretends he is remembering the details of the next question. pure professionalism! haha
I do not doubt that having Ayahuasca outside of the Jungle could possibly work. But I can't imagine it not being tremendously better in every way in the jungle. I have only done it in the jungle and I'm not really interested doing it anywhere else
I second that motion.
How about if you do it in the city but listen to guns and roses during ceremony, Is they close enough?
Being in a forest full of life brings that experience, many people describe for the Jungle. The Jungle is just a very old forest thriving with life. But in the summer season there are many other forests on the globe - thriving with life. Have a sitter if you are doing this... Ayahuasca attracts the animals and if you get scared, animals get scared too. And nobody wants to scare a predator, isn't it so?
:)
I have had a few experience in my life one would attribute as reaching the "out of body experience". From chemicals/poisoning and physical injury. What he describes is what I have experienced (in mind) that death is. What the soul is. Like a dim light in a vast expansion of nothingness, the "hell" religion speaks of. Life is like a gift to experience.
Did it two weeks ago at Soul Quest in Orlando. The first hour right after purging was crazy chaos, but I surrendered and was patient, when I could have freaked out, and I made it through the muk to my higher self. It was glorious! I love mushrooms.
My best friend, a Cambridge graduate, was murdered in Peru during an ayahuasca ceremony!! Extremely dangerous
Omg.😢 May I ask, was it by another participant, or was it the Ayahuasca itself?
So is it only smoking crack if i do it in Detroit?
Having several family members with broken minds I urge you to tread carefully Lex.
You are gambling that once your mind breaks, it will return to you unscathed, which is a pretty dangerous assumption.
This is the best Ayahusca ad ever. So very well articulated, i was with him atletin theory 😊
Wonderful description and experience

“It felt like dying. Usually it’s not that intense” lol I’m good thanks!
This guy is my kind if story teller
This guy sounds like a pretentious twat. But I guess different people like different things
Ur pretty bad at story telling I guess.
Every one's fear is not," coming back", yet here you are. You all needed to come back with deep appreciation for your life. That's what we are here to discover. You got, no need to get it again.
The experience changed my life forever
Lex, you're an interesting dude; intelligent, curious and introspective. this was a great video! did your guest experience death without dying? I've heard similar accounts of near-death experiences.
As ayahuasca pioneer and ethnobotanist Wade Davis once said, "Ayahuasca is a lot of things. 'Pleasant' isn't one of them."
True. Whoever explained their Ayahuasca experience in beautiful words didn't experience the real one. They didn't reach the breakthrough. Especially when they said I did Ayahuasca x times. Wtf. Ayahuasca literally Death. Ego Death. It teaches lesson and unblocked some part of our conscious IF we came back to who we are. Many who experienced the breakthrough didn't return.
@@prettyyu315what do you mean didn’t return?
It seems that it is something which cuts off connection of your perception from you central nervous system. Which means only your true *self* remains. And for the first time you realize that your self is the superficial construction. In short, it shows you the meaning of "I AM".
Great job, young man. Keep it up. God bless you always ❤❤❤❤
It feels amazing to know about psychedelics all thanks to this online store I was able to get some mushrooms and they got some lsd gummies cannabis xtc and another stuffs
You can actually work with Aya outside the jungle, many people do it, personally i worked with it on my own daily/near daily for 4 years straight in fully immersive dosages, worked like a charm and learned so much from it. If anyone tells you Aya must be taken in the jungle, they don't know what they're talking about.
There is no jungle.
Unlike other psychedelics like LSD or mushrooms, the only way I could describe it with words is, "It feels like my soul has the flu." That's my best to a person who has never done it. Ask me what I meant by soul and we'd be here for a bit.
What do you meab by soul? We got time.
It had the flu before and aya cured it? Or you had the flu ON aya?
we need answers
seriously genuine, plz elaborate
@@mizuslayer It is difficult to explain, of course, but the feeling was somewhat negative, as opposed to positive. Disorienting and colorful, harder to understand my feelings while my ego was morphing in and out, but not mood enhancing. Strange.
Ayahuasca sounds terrifying. I have pretty bad anxiety and i lose when i can't control everything.
My experience on psychedelics was the best experience of my life time, I'm glad I discovered this online store where I usually order mine from, they sell and ship all kinds of psychedelic products discreetly…

This man's arrogance is extremely off putting. Starts off saying the only place to do ayahuasca is the jungle, despite the fact that he hasn't done it outside of the jungle to compare. Then goes on to describe what seems like a very poorly run ceremony?? His ego yelling "my experience was more authentic and better than yours" shows he doesn't really get the essence of Ayahuasca..
Agreed. He's just talking about how no one can get as high as he got. That's not the point of ayahuasca at all.
I made it 2:00 in. How far did y’all get?
the whole thing. whyd you quit watching? he didnt say it was the greatest experience in the world like you were expecting??
@@camrose306 yeah.
Psychedelics are great, one time I was trippin on too much acid and I was staring at a fire pit and the fire pit turned into a mini world with little people and buildings, that was 2 years ago and it's such an experience to remember. would love to try out the psilocybin mushrooms next, just don't know where to get them, so hard to come by
[Myco_tray]
Ships psychedelics
@@sarahh321 where to search?? Is it IG?
The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results
@@Jerryberger9235 yeah, He has variety of stuffs like mushrooms, Isd, DMT even the chocolate bars
@@sarahh321 thanks, I’ll get some right away
But you didn't see your limits. You were in unfamiliar territory and experienced culture shock. You entered a different society. You were always coming back. You just didn't know. Ayahuasca is like going to a dojo. The more you practice it, the more skilled you become. The curanderos call it ascension. You are ascending in rungs of experience, and as you do, the visions become easier to navigate.
@PushinPlea no
Correct!
This video is intriguing, pushing your mind to it’s limit…😊
I had the same exact experience my first time. Word for word!!!
I’ve always told myself I’ll go to the Amazon Jungle to experience Ayahuasca… but only when I get my Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu 😂
I really think this is a good decision.
Maybe it opens up your mind to see and interact with other entities that you maybe should not be interacting with with.
It does open up portals, which is why having a strong retainer and protection is absolutely necessary.
Bingo
Fax its demons possession pretty much
Because there is so much life in the jungle. It's probably the ultimate existence for that experience. I çould only imagine.
6:00 when he describes the Shaman as E.T laying by the lake makes me crack up every single time I watch this! Such a funny analogy😂
I trust 85% of that story
have you ever tripped on ayahuasca?
@@yogi2983 the part of the retired shaman and way Overkill dose
Yeah I don’t buy the shaman “over-brewed” the ayahuasca and then retired part of that story. The intensity that Rosolie described of his experience is nothing unusual. Anyone who works with ayahuasca long enough will eventually get his or her ass handed to them at some point.
What if this is how we artificially extend life. Something like Inception, he said he spent years in the trip what if we could figure out a way to share the trip and live in dreams for thousands of years.
cool 😊
It's going to happen in our lifetimes.
Is there a sci-fi novel about this? I'm sure ChatGPT can bring one up out of the words of others.
There are yogi’s who meditate for years without food or water
@@sighfly2928 that is a lie.. there are lots charlatans like that in India.
Great guest. I want to hear more. Have him on again.
sounds exactly like the trip as described, its a cold dark truth. enjoy your life.
He sounds like he took a very small portion of mushrooms.
Sounds like a little puff of Mexican dirt weed out of a aluminum can compared to my experience mixing pcp, model glue, turpentine, whippits, Fire breath yoga, dark chocolate, vitamin c, soeedball, 6 shots of everclear, and some Judas Priest spun back wards on 45... That was a good morning!
Lex is like Ricky ticky tavy... It is impossible to frighten a mongoose as they are ran through with curiosity
whatever that means
Nice new watch lex
The shamen floating naked in the
river is priceless!😂
My only suggestion to the new emerging psychonaut movement would be to do the "step work" before going for the full ride with Aya. Moderate dose psilocybin, 3g, heroic dose psilocybin, 5-7g. You find the door to what you're looking for with psychedelics there, then try 5-MEO on its own. Now that you've done the steps and think there's a deeper healing needed, do the Aya. I see too many reports from people with the wrong balls to cash ratio wasting their money on a trip to the Amazon and coming out the other side still an ass hole. Do the work
yea, I'm glad he said it. I did Ayahuasca a lot in Brazil, always in the jungle. It just isn't right any other way. It is jungle medicine
I always felt gratitude after a bad trip... reality felt like a gift...

? TELEGRAM!!!!!!!!
Lex let's go. I'll go with you
Yep, been there. Impossible to explain to those that haven't.
It sounds like this guy did it 1 night and then left. You are supposed to do 4 nights from what I've heard. He is making his story sound grand because he is likely upset with himself for leaving after the first night and not getting the full, true experience. So he makes a profound story about how even the legendary shaman could not even handle the batch he did to make himself feel better for not following through.

Yes, at least 3 times are necessary. And this thing with "You must take in the Jungle" is total nonsense. If one is respectful - She will bring the Jungle to him ;) If not respectful - she will teach him on respect first and then She will bring the Jungle for him ;)
