AIDS & HIV… A Shamanic Journey

UPDATE with respect to the article AIDS & HIV.... A Shamanic Journey.

The following article (see below) has been subject of some negative comments from elsewhere and we have been accused of many things for publishing this kind of message about the potential of plant medicine and plants such as Ayahuasca to help in processes of curing major diseases.

This is the most read article on this blog and some people arrive here from links posted on websites that have a very critical view of what we have written. They have accused us of writing these things in order to get publicity so that we can make profit from this. We have also been accused of many more additional things by one website in particular but the owners and moderators of that website have never published any concrete evidence of anything they say.
They are happy to put up random and unsubstantiated comments from "anonymous" people and have even published names and addresses, id numbers, photos and emails of various members of our community and slandered us with some very serious accusations.
When we or friends of ours have responded to such postings by revealing the identity of one person who we know to be giving them information we were banned from defending ourselves and we were told that posting personal information about people was a instance of bullying and stalking which, apparently on that website they do not tolerate.
However when it comes to us it is a different matter. Apparently we are fair game, we don't count and that to name us, put photos up, give emails and id numbers in our case is not intimidation and stalking. In that case they define it as "criticism." Perhaps they think that people will not notice the contradiction ? It seems that for them it is OK to publish personal details about us because, according to them, we are just an evil cult and so our human rights in that case do not count.

If you come here from that website then please take into account these things.

This has been going on since 2011 and in the most part we have not responded much because we are too busy to do so. We are working people and we have much to do to grow our food, to learn about plant medicine, shamanism and community living so we don't have time to spend hours on the internet getting involved in long arguments as all costs time and money and we have not made loads of money out of what we do, contrary to what these people say about us.
This blog is just a small blog, it is about all we have published in English and it is far from being a complete set of information about Shamanism but we are a little surprised that it has attracted the attention that it has attracted and that some people feel very disturbed and shocked by the idea that illnesses such as AIDS could be cured. It is a matter that we have, of course reflected upon and why that should get such a negative reaction, almost hysterical, from some people.

In due course, perhaps, we shall publish some reflections on all of this.

In the meantime we have more practical work to do.

The article that follows has now been updated as of Nov 2018 with some additional clarifications made at the end. These are presented in italics.

Judge as you feel fit, take your own conclusions and if you come here from the website forum where we have been slandered and accused of being fraudulent in what we do then just remember that there are two sides to every story and if you are the type of person that judges from only hearing one side then we will leave you to your judgements and if you are prepared to believe what those online hate groups say then you are free to do so. Everyone is free to think what they like but we think it says more about the people on that website, the way that they put people on trial, condemn them and label them, opening them up to all sorts of attacks from other sources without any hint of considering that someone is innocent until proven guilty. In their eyes we have been guilty from the outset and they have encouraged us to be harassed, stalked, bullied etc. Like I say, IT SAYS MORE ABOUT THEM that they are so full of double standards to do such a thing and by doing all that they take the step to DEHUMANIZE us and to DEMONIZE us.

It is similar to how many folk in the middle ages that practiced plant medicine, or that challenged the Catholic Orthodoxy were burnt at the stake by the Inquisition. They were labelled as heretics just because they stated opinions and gave air to ideas that were outside of the accepted ones of the time…. Nowadays people are not literally burnt at the stake but they are most certainly marginalized and vilified publicly without recourse to any kind of intelligent dialogue or attempts from the moralists to comprehend what they are saying, but anyway, so much for these modern day kangaroo courts...

There is a saying given by SAMAEL AUN WEOR (which was also said by Victor Hugo) that is quite appropriate ——

“HE THAT JUDGES THAT WHICH HE DOES NOT KNOW IS WELL ON THE WAY TO BECOMING AN IDIOT.”



Thank you for your attention and taking the time to read this pre-amble.

WARNING

The article that follows is a direct account made by a witness of this healing process and includes some personal reflections on AIDS and the Shamanic healing process. We would advise anyone reading that if you have HIV or AIDS or know someone that does that in no way do we counsel you to take actions or decisions as a result of reading such an article. This is an anecdotal account which in no way pretends to give a complete description of such a healing process and anyone with such an illness that is looking for alternatives to the official treatments and drug programmes should do thorough research and take their own responsibility for decisions they make. This is, of course, COMMON SENSE but common sense nowadays would seem to be in short supply. For this reason we stress here these things for the original intention of this article always was TO INFORM and to give some explanations or indications as to the nature and factors involved in shamanic healing, the values, human qualities and psychological effort required on the part of both patient and shamanic practitioner not to mention the need for a wide knowledge of plants and the conditions needed for their preparation. Success is never guaranteed in such an endeavour. It should also be noted that the Shaman and students of Shamanism that were involved in this case did not seek out this person and do not ever advertise for or seek patients. We only attend to that which presents itself spontaneously. For that reason here we give no names and addresses, no contacts.


AIDS & HIV… A Shamanic Journey

Just over two years ago we were visited at our Uk Shamanism of Light Centre by a lady that had been diagnosed as HIV Positive. It was the first time that we, as students of shamanism, had come into contact with someone that had been diagnosed (or better put, labelled) as having HIV and on their way to full blown AIDS. At that time I knew very little about the subject other than what most of us have been told by the mass communications network and had never really investigated or approached the subject.

The lady, S, came to participate in a Shamanic ritual with the sacred plant Yaje (or Ayahuasca) after having met us and spoken with us or her wish to drink Yaje. We accepted and so she arrived. At that time she certainly did not look to be in the best of health, she was drawn and thin in her face with a look in-between nervous and haunted.

In that first ceremony as the experience began to get strong I could feel the presence of something in our small Temple-Yurt and as we began to shamanise with our chants to the elemental spirit of Yaje we could feel the spirits begin to arrive.
In a shamanic ceremony the objective is to call positive spirits to come and help the humans to get rid of negative energies they are carrying and help them to have spiritual insight, healing and so on. It is also common that negative spirits will arrive and attack the people. The job of the people such as ourselves who have been trained in the Shamanic techniques, is to be alert to the different energies that arrive into the sacred space and we use our concentration, meditation and sacred chants in order to call the positive forces so that the negative energies will be cleaned. When we do this work well one can feel a force field around the sacred space that repels the bad spirits but in the case that there is a person present carrying a bad spirit then this work requires more concentration.

In this case as we began to chant and chant the Yaje began to show more clearly this strange presence and there was no doubt that it was an entity and that it was intelligent because it had strategies of its own and did not want to leave. It also became clear that this negative entity was in the aura of our friend S and she moved uncomfortably in her experience as if it was annoying her and causing her difficulty. The battle was long and difficult and required an unwavering concentration as we moved into territory that was also a test of our learning as shamanic students but such was the force and unity of our chants that the Yaje heard us and little by little the negative entity was subdued and at the same time S became calmer in her experience. When we finished that chant a sense of relief permeated the atmosphere and the good energies began to flow through the ceremony.
Such was the effect of this that S received an experience in which the Yaje gave her some initial instruction in the psychological and spiritual changes that were necessary to begin a process of healing and thereafter she became a regular visitor to the temple that was hidden amist three tall fir trees. (The elemental of the different species of Fir tree gives far sight and vision).
Very soon the Yaje instructed her to give up taking the drugs prescribed by her consultants and to enter fully into a process of natural medicinal healing. We gave her depurativo, a medicinal tonic for the blood, the digestive system and the immune system. She also began to take Uña De Gato (Cats Claw), a jungle vine with small claw shaped thorns, hence its name, this plant is especially good for the immune system. Over various ceremonies it soon became clear that a big part of her healing process would involve a cleaning of the negative side effects of the cocktail of pharmaceutical drugs that had contaminated her body and penetrated into her bone marrow. She had some particularly strong experiences in which she vomited and vomited whilst the Yaje showed her that it was cleaning the toxins from her bone marrow.
When she gave up taking the drugs, the consultants, of course, told her that she was mad and that within a year she would be dead but thankfully this courageous lady had a lot of fight in her and refused to become psychologically traumatised by the pessimistic prophecies of these modern witch doctors. Indeed, in her case, being a rebel soul, she was determined to proove them wrong and now, after more than two years she has certainly prooved them wrong.

After a few months it was time for me to return to my home in Colombia but S continued to participate in ceremonies with other students from our community and a year and a half later she felt strong enough to make the journey to our community and receive healings from the Shaman who is our teacher and spiritual guide.

When she arrived at our farm I have to say that I barely recognised her such was the change in her face, her energy and her posture. Gone was the haunted look although she was still somewhat weak and, certainly, our Shaman was a little concerned that in this new environment with many bacterias and virus unknown to her body that she would be exposed to a risk of becoming ill.
Very quickly he gave us a long list of treatments with different plants that was to be carried out along with many dietary recommendations and a lot of attention to hygiene. Furthermore the Shaman explained to us that when the Indigenous Taitas make a treatment for an ill person then that person should be segregated from many of the normal activities of the other people, that the person should receive food and drinks, medicines etc using plates, spoons, bowls that were kept apart and used for no-one else. To the modern mind this appears extreme but a shaman is aware that all is energetic and that much care must be taken in this respect so that the person being treated is not adversely affected by other peoples energies and also that other people should not be affected by the energies of their illness. To this effect certain people were given the responsibility to make the medicines and to oversee their administration as well as monitoring the psychological state of the patient since a large element of the healing is completely psychological.

For the initial month or so S struggled to adjust to being a patient, to being attended to but not being permitted to cook food or make medicines. She went through bouts of home sickness, of doubt and other psychological difficulties especially as, through the use of Yaje she was also being shown the roots of many states and events that had led her into the situations in which she came to be diagnosed as HIV Positive but it was easy to see that this lady was nothing if not a spiritual warrior and she stuck with it through thick and thin until one day after some 6 weeks it was decided that she could go on an outing to see some of the local sights. (The area in which we live is a centre for a huge number of megalithic sites left by an ancient and wise Indigenous culture unknown to the archeologists that have studied the the stones)
She was taken on a 5 hour tour on horseback and when she returned she was glowing with happiness and that evening she explained that two years previously when she was gravely ill and seemed to be entering into full blown AIDS a friend had taken her horse riding. She had mounted on the horse for only half an hour and at the end she was so exhausted that she needed to be lifted down from the horse lest she collapse in a heap. The source of her happiness was that after five hours on horseback she had dismounted like a teenager and felt no ill effects. with this experience she was suddenly able to comprehend the depth of the treatment she was having, which, in addition to the medicinal plants, had also involved a series of shamanic healings with the famed Ortega plant.

Thereafter she went from strength to strength and during her three month stay with us not only did we witness a marked improvement in her physical and psychological strength, along with a further improvement in her complexion and her aura, but also she contracted no illness from any strange bacteria or virus of the locality, a feat that many apparently healthy visitors have not managed when coming to Colombia.
When she said goodbye to the Shaman of our community he said to her in his broken English "I think you are better now" and gave her a big hug.

Equally she continues to take the plant medicines prescribed and we have advised her not to let up.

The moral of the story is that there is no illness or condition that cannot potentially be cured by elemental therapy, as natural Shamanic Medicine is called by the Gnostic Master Samael Aun Weor. What we can understand from this experience is that true healing is not simply a case of treating a set of symptoms with loads of drugs. Modern medicine is nothing short of a business arrangement through which certain multi-national companies make a lot of money whilst tricking people in multiple ways. At certain points S said to us that the whole situation smelt of "black magic" and that it was the drugs that were making her ill rather than some virus, that upon investigation, is shown to be more like a fabrication of some depraved imagination rather than something in itself that leads to the so called AIDS syndrome.

True healing is something that occurs and needs to be attended to on many levels; spiritual, psychological, energetic and physical. A person cannot be healed unless, as a first requirement, the person understands the spiritual-psychological factor. Illness is something that is showing us a need to change our lives and the most important factor is FAITH for it is the spirits of the plants that cure us and they will only work for us if we have faith in them as vehicles through which God moves and teaches us to change our way of thinking and feeling. The healing action requires also that we understand that all illnesses are a consequence of certain circumstances that we ourselves have created through ignorance and unconsciousness of the right way to live and also the purpose of existence itself.

The AIDS con.

As a result of this experience, towards the end of her stay with us, we came across certain documents and films that have been produced on the subject of HIV and AIDS… information that only served to confirm our suspicions that the issue of AIDS is a gigantic con trick on humanity.
Taking into account the huge campaign of international propaganda around the so called AIDS epidemic, it is not hard to imagine the terrible and devastating effect of being diagnosed HIV Positive. Personally I remember as a young 20 something taking the test myself and the sense that the rest of my life was to be determined by the results of that test. In my case the HIV test lottery came out negative but little did I know that the tests are not much more than the throw of a dice since none has been shown to be 100% accurate. In fact, scientifically speaking, the so called HIV Virus has never been properly isolated in a manner that is satisfactory to all the scientists that have investigated the theme. Perhaps we could say that the only ones that have been satisfied with the methods used to determine if a person is HIV Positive or not are those such as Robert Gallo, one of the "Doctors" that "discovered" the virus and who receives royalties every time the test is made because he patented that test.
Indeed, even more disconcerting is that fact that among the scientific community there is no overall consensus as to the definition of what AIDS is and the top laboratories are not able to agree upon what constitutes a positive or negative reading of the test because, as we just mentioned, the virus has not been isolated properly and the test is not able to show the presence of HIV itself but rather the anti bodies that combat the virus. Without doubt we can affirm that this is an authentic example of the pseudo science of the Anti Christ.
In some places, such as South Africa, quick tests are done. This involves three distinct test methodologies, the first of which, the nurses that conduct them freely admit, are far from conclusive and very inaccurate. If out of these two you get two positive readings then you are diagnosed HIV positive, if it comes out 1-1 then a third test is taken that they say is marginally more accurate and upon this will depend the outcome. Frankly, you may as well just go to your local casino and play dice or go and toss a coin three times. It is astounding how peoples lives are played with in such a casual way.

In the rest of Africa people are not even tested for AIDS. If a person is ill and sent to hospital whether they have TB, Malaria or whatever if their condition looks deteriorated enough they are simply diagnosed as having full blown AIDS and the person is put on the AIDS drugs from which they inevitably die since the drugs themselves are what kill the people. The sinister plan behind this stinks of downright evil. Why do they not simply treat the person for the illness they have? The answer is that the UNAIDS agency will donate money to the hospitals and doctors that come up with numbers, for this is no more than a numbers game that enables them to receive money and line their pockets, whilst the pharmaceutical companies also rake in billions for killing people. This is the silent genocide of millions around the world and who pays? This is worth investigating for it would be interesting to know where UNAIDS get their money from but there is no doubt that one way or another it is all a convenient form for each country to run up more debt as UN receives its contributions from its member countries and from the "innocent do-gooders" that donate money to these criminal charities.

It is also worthwhile asking the question why is it that there is a UNAIDS agency but not a UN agency for other illnesses or causes of death? Why the big campaign, what is behind it all? Does all this have anything to do with the plan to reduce the world population? It does not seem to be a coincidence that behind the big pharmaceutical companies that deal in death by drugs are the usual culprits. AZT, the first "anti AIDS drug" is a drug that simply kills your cells. In the first years that it was used everyone that used it died. This company (Wellcome organization) is owned by the Rockefeller family and they, surprise surprise, are among those that want to reduce the world population.

HIV - A Quantum Virus?

Some folk that have refused to accept the HIV Positive death sentence have taken many tests and have found that in one it comes out positive, in the next negative and so on. Our friend S told us that once diagnosed HIV one is given periodic blood tests in order to take your CD4 count and the viral load count. Her nurse told her that she had noticed that the test results were clearly affected by the emotional state of the person, their psychological state, their stress level and so on.
In other words, "HIV" behaves like a quantum particle…. one minute its there, the next its not.. so where does it go? This fits with our shamanic experience that has shown us that HIV is more like some kind of malignant entity…
S told us that she has witnessed many cases of African women that get shipped over to Britain to receive treatment on the condition that they sign up to be guinea pigs for the pharmaceutical companies for testing out new drugs to be used later on their more privileged patients from the "first world" such as the gay community since the "pink pound" is one of the major sources of money when it comes to donations to the scientific laboratories that research new drugs and homosexuals are among those most willing to pay through the nose in order to prolong their agony.

Those African ladies, many of them fanatical evangelical Christians, are understandably totally destroyed internally when they get diagnosed with HIV as their religion coupled with the propaganda tells them that it is because they are terrible sinners. In such cases total psychological collapse is very quick and death follows swiftly. The words of S were that it was literally as if those women had been cursed by a witches spell and she may not be far from the truth. This evasive virus thats there then its not, that appears like an entity seems to act like some kind of entity that has been created by some terrible act of black magic. It is an illusion created by some very sick minds.

Indeed, this is very much backed up by the research of more enlightened Doctors such as Roberto Giraldo, a Colombian Doctor who has studied the human immune system for nigh on 40 years. He says he has cured many cases of HIV-AIDS and his investigations have shown that the single most important factor in maintaining a healthy immune system is our psychological state. Apart from this diet and lifestyle also have a big effect but seeing as the negative traits that we develop such as drug abuse, sexual degeneration, bad diet etc stem ultimately from a lack of self respect, a lack of love, a lack of meaning in our lives we can comprehend easily what Dr Giraldo is saying.

If we analyse things well then it all fits. Many people in the world today have a low self esteem, they are stressed, they do not have a quality life, they consume many types of chemical drugs, be they prescribed or recreational, they do not respect their bodies, doing things with them that go against natures design as in the case of the homosexuals. In the case of many of the poorer countries the lack of healthy lifestyle is also due to poverty, malnutrition, lack of education, loss of their Indigenous cultures etc etc etc. so we can say without a doubt that once a person is diagnosed HIV Positive the propaganda that serves to further affect a sense of the value of their lives, practically condemning them to die and into the bargain cutting them off from a normal family life since their intimate relations with others will never be the same again. This coupled with the regime of drugs that they are pressured into taking becomes a self fulfilling prophecy… which is, in effect, a CURSE on their lives. S tells us that within the HIV community one can tell who will survive the diagnosis for a long time by their reaction to the results. Those that have a warrior inside and refuse to accept their sentence will resist the psychological attack for longer whilst others are psychologically destroyed by the sentence.
In the case of S, being a natural rebel, she had fought for many years and finally she has been rewarded for her efforts and her refusal to lie down and die spontaneously coming across the sacred teachings of Yaje, the wisdom of shamanism and the benefits of natural medicine.


It should be noted that we are not saying here per se that Yaje (Ayahuasca) cures HIV/AIDS and this is not ever what we were saying although this seems to have been some people's interpretation... In light of that we wish to clarify that;

In Amazonian Shamanism, whilst Yaje has many medicinal properties which, along with the techniques of shamanism, can help in cases like this, the main use and role of the Yaje in a process such as this is for the wisdom and insight that SUPPORTS THE HEALING PROCESS.
Traditionally Yaje is used as a DIAGNOSTICAL tool and in order to see the problem at a deep psychological or soul level. Following from this the shaman will advise on the different actions that need to be taken on the levels of psychology, lifestyle and medicinally with the use of plants. In such a case the shaman also draws upon his or her knowledge and experience of other cases and any factors observed that may be unique to the particular case being treated. According to the shamanic understanding of illness each case is unique and there is no uniform formula, it depends on the person and the particular conditions of their lives. We should also clarify that whilst this case has shown us that the phenomena of HIV and AIDS is not what it seems, that does not mean that we deny the existence of a problem with the human immune system because there are clearly many people that suffer from immune related problems, however, the reasons for this may not be quite so cut and dried as would appear. The state of a persons psychological, spiritual and physical health can and does fluctuate and it has become clearer even to many more open minded scientists that mind and matter are not separate. In our experience, not only in this case, the psychological attitude and the power of human will and faith are absolutely VITAL in any healing process. It is not for nothing that Christ said that if you have Faith the size of a grain of mustard you can move mountains. The insights and efforts made for someone to achieve the radical turnaround that we were able to witness in the case of the lady mentioned here, however, are not changes that should be made just for the period of healing and recuperation of an illness for, in a spiritual sense, illness is a MESSAGE from the world of spirit of a need for a deep and lasting change, perhaps a change in the whole feeling and direction of life itself and this is the true purpose of any illness or crisis.
In that respect the real message here is that ultimately it is up to each one of us, for the solution to our problems are inside us and once we connect with our own inner spark of light and spirit we can walk toward the solutions and create the conditions for a solution around us. This may not happen immediately for we also need to develop patience and persistence. The key is to learn that we do not need to be victims to our circumstances and even if there is some kind of dark and sinister agenda working behind the scenes with regard to the AIDS phenomena and other issues, that does not mean that we have to be a victim to that.

So we are not saying here that Yaje/Ayahuasca will miraculously cure you of AIDS or anything else... and nor do we pretend that for anything there is some kind of quick fix formula, not at all. Shamanism, if studied seriously is an ANCIENT SCIENCE, albeit, a science that recognises and works with energies, forces and intelligences that are not visible to the physical senses... but nevertheless it is a science in which many factors are at work and influence the outcome of any situation. In this case, outlined in a very resumed way here, we can cite the psychological factor of the patient, we can cite the careful scrutiny of the Shaman with regard to the preparation and administration of medicines, something which was done according to a daily timetable, taking into account the way that different plants work and how they work in combination with each other, whether they are cooling, heating, astringent, relaxing, fortifying etc. etc. Some of them must be taken on an empty stomach, some at more regular intervals, some after meals etc. The attention to hygiene and also the surroundings of the patient were also very important and the use of Yaje in the key part of this process when S visited our community was made with the utmost discretion and not in an ad hoc way. Over exposure to this potent jungle brew would have been counter productive because she needed to build up the body strength required. In this phase the Yaje was, as we said earlier, a support and was used in key moments as a compliment to the other medicines and in order to make the energetic/spiritual aspect of the healing process through shamanic healings using Ortiga.
All of this requires and extensive practical knowledge and experience which usually takes many years to acquire. Thus we stress, so as to be quite clear, that we do not claim here to be giving any kind of formula... We are offering, by means of relating these things, information and explanations about how shamanic healing works and this is not just some kind of "up in the air" "new agey" thing.. it is something very practical that involves a lot of attention to detail.


We believe that stories like this deserve to be told and hopefully they will give some valuable and interesting information that will inspire others to fight the good fight against those evil forces that wish to suck humanity into the abyss.... For let us be clear; This world is a world of duality in which there are forces of Good and forces of Evil. Shamanism recognises that ultimately life is a journey in which we attain learning and knowledge of those forces and how they work inside and outside ourselves. Life is a journey of the soul in which the soul is presented with a series of choices and there are forces that actively work to confuse and disorientate the soul for this is a world in which all is not as it seems on the surface...

So we say ---- Don't believe the hype, don't take the drugs in an unquestioning way, don't believe all you are told about HIV-AIDS for this condition is not by any means incurable. We also add that you should not just believe without question what we have written here. Decide for yourself, investigate for yourself, use your capacity to think, to feel, use your intelligence... you were given it for a reason and each is free to believe or not believe. Whatever the case to believe is not the same as to know for yourself.

For us, however, as the years have gone by since this article was originally written we are ever more convinced and ever more firm in our vision and our experience and we say and will continue to say that the keys to humanities health lie in us returning to the bosom of our Mother Earth. The Divine Mother Pachamama is the best doctor that exists and the plants that come from Mother Nature possess living and intelligent spirits and through the contact with these spirits, THROUGH THE LOVE THAT WE GIVE TO THEM, and through the wise and humble use of all that they offer we humans can find solace and healing for our ills, whether those ills are physical, psychological or spiritual or a combination of all of these which is what, in reality, they are. Those plants were made for all of humanity, regardless of creed, race, religion, ideology and so on, just as the Sun shines upon all of us without prejudice. As such nobody owns the Shamanic wisdom, this wisdom is for all beings, however, at the same time the vocation for learning this wisdom is not there in all people and such a learning requires dedication, humility and respect for the plants and also for the wisdom of the ancestors and it is before those ancestors we kneel and give our thanks and praises. It is also by those ancestors that we shall be judged.

Upon returning to the UK our friend S went to take the customary blood tests. When her nurse put the needle in her arm it came flying out again with a mysterious force. The nurse tried to put the needle in her other arm and the same thing happened. The nurse was spooked. What ejected the needle? The vital force of Mother Nature, the spiritual energy of the elementals? S's nurse has said that in all her time attending to patients with HIV-AIDS she has never seen such a turn around and recovery. A message from the spirits perhaps? I think so.

May the marvellous forces of Love ignite our sacred fires.
May the light of Pachamama illuminate our hearts and souls.

FOOTNOTE. The author of this article wishes to thank all those that have continued to learn alongside us and support our community....

"Life is a series of lessons and in life we all make mistakes. Now that time and circumstances have allowed me to revise this article thoroughly and in the light of criticisms made, whilst standing firmly by the principals learnt in the Shamanic Way and especially with regard to the healing properties of the plants and the elemental spirits of the plants I recognise that this article lacked some clarifications and some deeper insights, so whatever the case and whatever the criticisms that have come as a result I would like also to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the critics, for even if their intentions have come across as destructive and judgemental and have led to further wild accusations that have nothing to do with this article, they have still been useful. I also clarify that I am not a shaman, but a student of shamanism and have never claimed to be a shaman or of any pure blood indigenous ethnic group in any way, shape or form. However, as a human being I do claim the right to study, practice and research shamanism, and to make, along with the like minded folk of the community to which I belong, a spiritual/religious practice inspired in the principals and understandings of, what is broadly termed as shamanism and I do this in the knowledge that to profess a belief system and to practice it is a fundamental human right regardless of race, colour, gender, nation etc.
Finally, my greatest thanks go to the Shaman that I have studied with and his patience and understanding in the face of many attacks and criticisms received as a result of the original article. The witnessing of this and other Shamanic healing processes before and since have given and continue to give profound understandings of the human condition. This for me is beyond doubt and any errors and lack of clarity in the original article are my own and not those of the people with whom I have studied."

MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY, MAY ALL BEINGS BE JOYFUL, MAY ALL BEINGS BE IN PEACE.

Shamanism, God and Religion.

REVISED and UPDATED. Oct 2018....

One of the benefits of shamanism is that it is a practical way to rekindle our spirituality because it helps to re-new our understanding and feelings with respect to God and Religion.
Religion, far from being a name to describe different institutions built up around one or another expression of spirituality, means to make reverence to or communion with God or Gods and Goddesses.
Shamanism is, essentially a method of direct communion with the spiritual reality and is the origin of religious expression for it is direct communion with spirit as revealed through nature.
The institutionalised religions have distanced God from Man but our connection to the spirit can be awoken with the help of the spirit beings most readily accessible to us; the elemental spirits of the plants, the earth, the air, the fire and water and being part of God these beings will act as bridges for us in order that we can receive revelation, insight, inspiration and approach the spirit anew learning for ourselves through our lived experience.
God is not a dirty word.
The word God has been abused by the impostors that have infiltrated religion and imposed their mental model. Religions have been taken over, in many cases, by people that are not God conscious, although they may give the appearance of being pious or saintly. They have made God into a distant figure hidden from the view of all but those that make themselves into an elite and proclaim themselves to be the "holy ones" or the “chosen few”.

Those that are truly "chosen", however are those that have a living communion with God inside their hearts and who live by the hearts law. In other words it is we that choose to enter into communion with God and not that God chooses us because we belong to some particular sect, social class, priesthood or whatever. The secrecy around certain kinds of spiritual practices and rituals can have a valid reason in that in order to enter the realms that can be accessed through ritual a preparation and orientation are necessary. However, the flip side of this has been the creation of elites that abuse that secrecy for their own ends. Today we hear much about this and of the existence of different secret societies that attempt to control world events. Many of those societies started out as genuine esoteric orders dedicated to discovering inner wisdom and doing so hermetically because of the need to protect those teachings from people who would use them for selfish ends. However many of them became corrupted from within because they forgot to keep checking that they also didn't use such secrets for egotistical gain... hence the confusion sometimes about whether the Templars or the Masons are good or evil (etc.)

God is not an old tyrant in the sky that goes around sadistically punishing sinners;

God is the living presence, the flame of life, being, is-ness, spirit, intelligence, and light. God is that which a child feels when in innocent awe at the immensity of the sky and the wonder of creation but we have been taught in schools that God and religion are houses of greyness and repression where the imagination and freedom of a child is frowned upon. In school we were taught to feel God as colourlessness and guilt in boring sermons uttered by religious education teachers.

Yet, to imagine is to see and to see is to perceive that creation is full of beauty, harmony, intelligence, wonder, and connection.
In shamanism, by accessing our internal world, our feelings, thoughts, dreams, visions and ideas we learn to open our eyes anew and see that the force of life itself is fire and light, is consciousness, the seeing eye, the feeling heart, the breathing air and through the energy of life itself we can connect with being and being is God.

All we need to do is open our minds and see, for it is the mind that is like a steel trap that blocks our vision.

Cosmology & Cosmo-vision.

Over time religion has become less a matter of direct experience and connection with the spiritual dimensions and more and more a thing of books, dogmas, superficial interpretations and something onto which humanity projects its inner conflicts and traumas. This rigidity has pushed many people away from the spirit and confused people into seeing God as a punishing tyrant and as a result many people become atheists.

The error here is not with God or any of the God’s and Goddesses that are aspects of the one God. The error is in the human consciousness (or lack thereof).

If we analyse the word Cosmology we can observe that the root of ology is from Greek logos, which is verb or word. Cosmology is DESCRIPTION IN WORDS of the cosmos. The word was always sacred and in oral form as living sound the sacred verb re-news creation – for this reason in shamanism the chants and invocations are so important BUT the other side of this is that once “the word” i.e. the description of the revelation, is written down the mind tends to reduce the written words to DOGMAS… this is, largely what has happened to most religions, especially the Judeo-Christian ones.

Religion has become DOGMA.. Even the most enlightened teachings can be twisted and turned into a mental prison in which people fight over interpretations.
For this reason its important to re-new with art, poetry and music and to understand that it was not for nothing that many traditions did not write down the wisdom and that the tradition was ORAL.

Cosmo-vision is based upon the CONSTANT OBSERVATION…

It is interesting to ask why the more dogmatic expressions of religion enclose the people in churches where THEY CAN’T SEE THE SKY and are forced to access “the word” through a sermon giving priest. Those kind of religions form cabals of learning among the “select” and even go as far as naming whole peoples or races as “The Chosen people.” They are the ones that decide what is right and wrong, what mode of life people should adopt, what taboos they should have and in general the over-riding societal morality.

The peoples that choose to have COSMO VISION instead of lots of OLOGIES have temples of astronomical observation where the cosmos is observed and where the manifestations of the wonder of creation are visible for the people in general, the same with the use of the sacred and psychoactive plants.. The connection is direct and leads to experience with the supreme personality of God – leads to direct inner knowledge. This is precisely what those obsessed with control of man and society do not want, for this is the way that our spirits can be free.

Shamanism takes us back to the origin and back to an awareness of our interior world. The sacred plants are especially helpful in this.
The fact that such plants have often been made illegal is a reflection of the tendency to push away into the realms of subversion the elements that we have been come scared of… the thing we are most scared of is ourselves and of seeing ourselves as we really are.
Religion in reality, in being communion with God is also communion with ourselves, it is the seeking of God inside us and shamanism helps to comprehend and to clean and heal all that which has become a block inside us to our inner journey.
As the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung said in the introduction of his book "Psychology and Alchemy"; true religion is something that has to be lived in the psyche or soul (psyche=soul) and religious feeling emerges from the soul through its own experience. He was much criticised for this stance by dogmatic religious types (not surprisingly) but Jung had a lifetime of experience and he observed that the psychological problems experienced by many people.. i.e. the illness of their souls, was precisely because a direct experience of the spiritual realities which human beings need to feel truly healthy and whole was in some way denied and prohibited by the dogmatic rules of religion and society, leading to an inner emptiness and dis-satisfaction with life, hence the kind of modern psychological illness that is so common to day in the advanced technological societies.

Jung leant more and more over his lifetime toward the techniques of meditation, of shamanism and direct experience (GNOSIS) as being the keys to comprehension of all of these mysteries of life, death and the soul. We would add that, further on from this, the sacred plant and the shamanic techniques teach us to explore and know ourselves and our souls, showing us our inner reality, the different planes of the mind, consciousness, the inner cosmos and the outer as well and it is from these experiences that we can re-new our understanding of religion, nature and God.
Humanity has not only strayed from God and deformed religion, we have also disconnected from nature.

By the recuperation and practice of shamanism we can return to nature and to God and recover the true religion, which is direct communion – Gnosis.

“He that wants to officiate in the great temple of wisdom has to know how to command the elemental creatures of the plants”
p.18 treatise of Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, Samael Aun Weor. (Translated from original Spanish version)
Gnostic Shamanism is, precisely, the study and practice of of such wisdom.

“Each elemental of each plant has its own ritual, mantras and its hours in order to deliver itself to the doctor who knows how to command it with love and impose upon it with tenderness…”
VWSAW, Treatise of Occult Medicine and Practical Magic.

The person that works with these rituals and mantrams is a student of the ancient art of elementotherapy. The term Shaman is a word coming from Siberia meaning Medicine Man or Priest-Doctor and refers to the people that divine and cure with the elementals of the plants. This term has been coined to describe the persons of all Indigenous cultures that perform this sacred function.
Any Gnostic Student can study the book Occult Medicine and Practical Magic and he/she will discover that VM Samael speaks with great respect of the Masters of the Mayan Ray and the wisdom of the Green Snake (Shamanic Wisdom).
It is clear that this Master studied, practiced and shared the profound wisdom of Mother Nature in company with the Shaman Priests and Priestesses of various Indigenous peoples of Colombia.
In one of his books called “The Diary Notes of a Guru” he explains how, whilst living in a small house in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia he was visited by such and Indigenous person and he explains how this person, who had learnt to read, had understood the gnosis completely and profoundly just by reading one of his books and in this he gives the indication that if the person has the right level of consciousness they can understand the wisdom easily and put it in practice. This clearly demonstrates the level of this kind of Shaman.
The VM Samael wrote many books and spoke of many elements in the study and practice of Ancient wisdom, including Yoga, Buddhist Meditation techniques, Shamanic Medicine, Kabbalah, Egyptian mysteries, Celtic Mysteries, Aztec and Maya initiations, Christian Esoterism, Sufi wisdom and so many more. He covered all the planet and for this reason he is the Avatar of Aquarius.
For every person there is something, for each person there is a note that he can relate to. There are many mantras that are given by the Master and we can select that which we feel attracted to and which resonates with us.

For this reason we, as students, should respect the wisdom of the distinct rays.
We, as students of Gnostic Shamanism do not claim to be the “only inheritors” of the Gnostic wisdom or that people should only study Shamanism in a rigid sense… we say that Shamanism is underlying all traditions, yes and that it is part of, for example, Hindu, Tibetan, Japanese, even Christian and Muslim traditions, if, that is, we can understand that Shamanism in essence is communication and interaction with the intelligent spirits, devas, elementals, genies and regents of Mother Nature.
The Hindu had their legends of SOMA the mysterious magical potion that helped them enter other dimensions. The Celts had their legends of a Magic Potion that enabled the shaman magician to shape shift (Story of Taliesin), The Japanese spoke of the KAMI the nature spirits to whom they made shrines and sacred groves. In the ancient times when those traditions had their day there was no division between religion (i.e. communion with God) and the practice and use of plant medicine, the perception and communion with Natures spirits. All was ONE and so in this new age of Aquarius all will gradually merge again into a continuous interplay of energy, consciousness and divine wisdom.
We do not oblige or force any person to enter these studies. We prefer that any person that comes to visit us with the express purpose of studying this wisdom is a person that is clear in their purpose, whether that be to be healed of some ailment, psychological, or otherwise, to learn about plants, shamanism and the spiritual life, to explore community living and the opportunity this gives for self knowledge and so on. The important is to have a CENTRE OF GRAVITY, to have a purpose and not to be swayed by the come and go the thoughts that one day say “I want to study Shamanism” and tomorrow say another thing.
The work with the elementals requires commitment, discipline and decision. Very different to the tendancy of the modern sub cultures that have profaned the sacred plants, trying to use the elementals as drugs and vice in order to escape themselves or believing that they know better than the Ancient Cultures.
It is so typical of the emptiness of modern people that they pronounce against Shamanic Disciplines and traditions as superstitious as though they were wiser and as though the ages have given us enlightenment. Again we see as in other cases the fear of deep and authentic tradition.
We do not advise the abuse of the elemental neither in practice or in word. We must learn to discern and comprehend. We know that there are charlatans who try to deceive young people by presenting themselves as shamans.
We also know that there are shallow people that believe they know it all about Gnosis or Shamanism and who speak in elevated and mystical tones, acting as if they were wise men of great standing, but who, in reality are no more than vain and conceited products of a vain and conceited society that looks down upon the Indigenous peoples as if they were mere primitives who are just emerging from the mud in the process of evolution.
Poor ignorants those people and they will cry bitter bitter tears when they realise the falsity of their intellect and their “tower of babble” crumbles to the ground with the civilization upon which they sit so smug and satisfied with the “knowledge” that they have stolen and appropriated for themselves without real vocation.
The true student of Shamanism much cultivate great humility before the secrets of Mother Nature, he must learn to see himself as but a small child standing in awe at the gates of the Universal Mysteries, he must throw away all his preconceived ideas and concepts, all his prejudice and learn to be meek and listen with great care in order to become sensitive to the voices of Natures Spiritual beings. He must realise that he is only beginning to enter into another world… the real world of multi dimensions and in order to tread those worlds he must purify his mind of doubts and his heart of envy and resentment.
This is the true way of Shamanism Of Light and its only a small approximation that we make here about a subject on which mere words are inadequate.

PSYCHEDELICS & SHAMANISM

PSYCHEDELICS & SHAMANISM



As many people know the word psychedelic or psychedelia came into popular use during the 60’s and in particular in association with the fashion for taking LSD that grew initially on the west coast of the USA in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

One of the first and most vociferous exponents of the use of this chemical compound, first synthesized by Swiss scientist Albert Hoffman, was the writer Ken Kesey (author of “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest”) who inaugurated the famous “acid test parties” attended by the fashionable people of his generation and even members of the infamous Hells Angels.

It has also been documented, however, that behind the introduction of LSD to the North American youth were none other than the CIA and other shadowy organizations interested in experimenting with the youth.

LSD was later given secretly to soldiers in Vietnam in a further development of a series of experiments is social engineering that were carried out by various human behavior research projects.

Various researchers have now revealed that the development of the psychedelic culture was influenced, at the very least, as part of a social experiment carried out through projects such as MKULTRA and people such as Timothy Leary and even Terrence McKenna were all CIA agents. This has been documented and covered extensively so we will not go into all the details here but rather concentrate on the workings of psychedelia and shamanism.

What is psychedelia ?

The word psychedelia comes from Greek. “Psyche” means soul and “delia” means to reveal or to make visible. To quote a South American Shaman that we have studied with…

“In reality this means to reveal the subconscious states that lie in the interior of the soul. Reveal the soul by means of psychedelia means to bring to the surface the things of the subconscious mind.”

If we analyse this point we can see that in these terms there is a clear relationship to shamanism. Obviously the shaman is an expert in entering the subconscious and bringing its contents to the surface.. In order to help him in his work to heal, cure and order the subconscious elements, ultimately helping the patients connect again with their essence the shaman is able to call upon spiritual forces that orientate, protect and guide.

As The Shaman that we spoke with continues to say, “Bringing the contents of the subconscious to the surface would not be dangerous to the soul if there was will, self control and the capacity for observation..”

In the modern world, however, the word psychedelic has taken on other connotations and is used more to refer to a recreational drug use, acid parties and the pseudo-mystical experiments as was the case with another champion of LSD use, the even more famous psychedelic guru Timothy Leary.

Leary went further perhaps than Kesey, who remained surfing the wave of the hedonistic fashion in true Californian style, Leary, meanwhile, tried to be more serious and academic, professor, as he was, of Harvard University on the less wild east coast of the USA.

Whilst Kesey and his Merry Pranksters developed the loud colours, discordant music and distorted art that emerged as a result of LSD use, Leary attempted to find analogies to the LSD experience in the mystical teachings of the “Tibetan Book of the Dead” and others. He tried to map the experience with the intellect and this led to the emergence of a more serious sounding aspect of Western psychedelia and projects such as MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies).

The influence that people like Kesey and Leary and others have had was immense but clearly they were not alone in their use of LSD. Many who would become cultural icons for the and future generations, sampled the ‘delights’ of LSD use.

In popular modern culture there were many that recognised that the artist is very similar to a shaman. Indeed, the line that separates art from magic is very fine and in many respects the appearance of shamanism and an interest in its techniques was inevitable.

Shamanism became fashionable among the hip artists, poets, singers etc and this later led to the search in Mexico and South America for shamans, the success of anthropologists such as Castenada and Wasson and a documentation of the various psychoactive plants that exist and have been used around the world.

Unfortunately most people failed to perceive the difference between the plants and an extracted or synthesised chemical, replacing the mushrooms and the peyote that Wasson and Castaneda talked about, with synthetic chemical drugs. The direction that Castenada’s stories took meant that many began to perceive shamanism as some kind of fantastic exotic world of disembodied experiences, sorcerers, bizarre dreams and so on.

The idea that to really work with shamanism requires discipline, self observation and will was not emphasised much and little by little all sorts of people started to emerge calling themselves Naguals, Shamans, Psychonauts and so on, some looking for fame others for power and others for a quick buck. The Sacred Science of the Indigenous was not understood by the vast majority of people looking for a new thrill and many things were damaged.

Maria Sabina, the Mexican Shaman who had used mushrooms with deep devotion all her life as a source of healing, inspiration and guidance said that after Gordon Wasson, part time anthropologist and publicist who worked for Chase Manhattan Bank, had come to her, many young “gringos” arrived looking for mushrooms in the hills and as a result the mushrooms spirits left and never came back.

For Maria Sabina the mushroom was something tremendously sacred that connected her to paradise realms where she could travel and speak with the Gods.
For many young Americans and Europeans the mushrooms, peyote, ayahuasca etc. are plants that contain a chemical substance that makes you trip out. The difference between a Shamanic Journey and a Trip is more than just a case of semantics.

For the modern people with their materialist inclinations, the mushroom is something to dissect in order to extract an active ingredient that is useful for the high they want. The Indigenous peoples understand that each plant has active and passive elements and that the passive elements are also necessary for a balanced experience and so for them it is not only a case of extracting the active ingredient.

Really it is very difficult for materialist and atheist people to have the same kind of experience as Maria Sabina because, as she said, the spirits went very far where the people cannot damage them and so, logically, the spiritual and healing experience is replaced by another kind of experience.

The Shaman that we spoke with also comments that “In 99% of cases, to enter into psychedelia means to be controlled by the ego… and power is given to the dark sub conscious elements turning the person into a Black Magician or Sorcerer. ”

This was the part that the unsuspecting youth did not know. LSD was introduced gradually into the youth culture. The first users were invited to take part in some scientific experiments being carried out in California and were paid to be human guinea pigs. Indeed, Ken Kesey, first took LSD in such a situation. Later he was given LSD to distribute outside of the laboratory…

Clearly, the uncontrolled use of such a potent chemical substance was going to have many unpredictable effects but that was what the secretive elements behind its introduction wanted.

Effectively, the subconscious elements of the collective psychology of an entire generation and also the ones following were called to the surface but sadly there was little will, control or capacity for observation. We can say that in effect the youth of the sixties and after have been put through a psychedelic initiation and this has unleashed the collective sub-conscious. The difference between this and a genuine shamanic initiation is that the modern western youth has had little preparation for entering into such realms.

Anyone slightly familiar with these themes will be able to recognise that locked up within the human subconscious are tremendous amounts of psychic energy.

To reach a state of psychological and spiritual health it is necessary to bring into consciousness that which is hidden in the subconscious. This is one of the purposes of a shamanic apprenticeship. In order to help others first one needs to organise ones own psychology and transform it.

So what happens when people take LSD ? …Apart from the visuals and the sensations and so on we can clearly say that they unleash the hidden forces of the psyche.

But how is a person with no observation going to adapt to this? In most cases the person simply does what they are trained to do by their ‘education’… They become fascinated and identified.

Some may enjoy a sudden feeling of power or the idea that they have been given the keys to the universe. Perhaps, some will be gratified by a new feeling of themselves, of their sexuality of their artistic potential or perhaps many will merely enjoy the display of colours, strange sounds and take it all as entertainment, much in the way that one would enjoy a good film.

There are many possibilities but, in general, we can say that the experience is very subjective.

Perhaps we could call it an expanded subjectivity; in short, the sub conscious elements or egos arrive in full force and given that in most cases the subject will have little capacity for self observation, it is difficult to know what is truly happening beyond what is being projected onto the screen of the mind. The source of what is being projected, however, is difficult to see unless discernment and observation are developed.
Obviously, the reactions and sensations experienced by people that take LSD are very varied and there is no doubt that the use of LSD has given a lot of material for psychologists and psychoanalysts to study. Literally anything can come to the surface from euphoria to extreme terror and all the range of human emotions and ideas that come between these two extremes and one cannot deny that these psychological elements are real. The difference, however, between chemical psychedelic drug use and shamanism is that the synthesised chemicals don’t have a spirit whilst the sacred plants do and it is this living spirit and the connection made with the spirit by the shaman and the participants in the ritual that helps the people to see more deeply what is happening and what is emerging.

The fact is that shamans have been studying these states for millennia within the context of a sacred and ritual dynamic that allows people to enter such states with a protection and guide in the form of the shaman, the spirits and the accumulated experience of the tribe and its tradition.

THE SHAMAN THAT TRIED LSD.

Some years ago a couple of English LSD users went to stay with a shaman in the Colombian jungle. The shaman had been practicing and learning with the jungle vine Yaje (Banisteriopsis Caapi) for more than twenty years. His use and knowledge of indigenous sacred medicinal plants was extensive but he had never taken a chemical substance like LSD.

One of the English visitors was in the habit of using LSD regularly and had become so accustomed to it that his body was relatively insensitive and in order to feel an affect he had to take 2 or 3 doses. The jungle people who he was visiting did not understand why this man shut himself up in his room all day with headphones on listening to trance and techno music rather than being outside, working and exploring the jungle. Later they discovered that he was taking LSD but they still did not understand as they had never taken this drug.

During his stay the Englishman offered LSD to the shaman, convinced that the shaman would like it. He gave him enough LSD for a double dose for three people and said that it would be best to take 2 doses per person to have a good effect. The shaman received the LSD and guarded it away. He did not have any intention of eating these strange cardboard tabs with the visitors present.

One night, after the visitors had left he decided that he would try it in order to know what the western people found so fascinating. He took it together with two women of the same jungle community but they tried a lower dose than the visitor had recommended. The experience that followed was very strange for them. The shaman explained that when he tried to see in the superior realms using his usual meditation practice he could see nothing, only darkness. He was unable to connect with the spiritual forces that he used in his shamanic practice. When he looked down however into the infra-dimensions, the show began. He said later that as he lay in meditation he began to hear the sound of a lorry or something similar. He thought it was a lorry crossing the bridge near to his home but as he listened and concentrated the sound grew louder and had a kind of hypnotising effect so he began to follow in his concentration until he found himself sitting on top of the lorry and the lorry began to wind its way gradually downwards and downwards in spirals. The shaman quickly realised that he was traveling into the inferior astral dimensions and alongside the road on which the lorry was traveling he saw unfolding different scenes that evoked the sensations and the states of people when they are immersed in the inferior worlds. We could say that there was something akin to a Dante type experience to see the hell realms. The shaman, with his experience and his capacity of self control and observation, knew very clearly what was happening and as the experience continued he became aware that at the bottom of the spiralling road were a group of black magicians and demons waiting for him. He said later that the atmosphere became dense and heavy and it was difficult for him to move. As the lorry descended he realised that if he continued he would soon reach a point of no return so he decided that he would continue no further, this was enough for him to know the secrets of LSD and with an effort of concentration and will he awoke himself from the experience.

Using an interesting analogy, the shaman said that the LSD was like getting into a car as a passenger and finding that the car went but had no driver and there was no way of knowing where it was headed. To use Yaje, however, was like getting into a car but in this case there was a driver, the driver is the spirit of Yaje that guides the person in the interior worlds. With Yaje, one can learn how to control the experience. Yaje teaches the person to have will and objectivity and thus it is possible to shine light on the subconscious realms with the help of a spiritual guide, the elemental spirit of Yaje. This conscious and intelligent spirit is a mediator between man and God (the superior intelligence) and therein lies the difference between LSD and the Sacred Plants.

It is interesting to note that the shamans’ training gave him the capacity to be aware of where the LSD was taking him. In most cases however, the young people that experiment with this substance have no idea where it is taking them. They do not have the preparation of a shaman or the help of an elemental spirit like Yaje. It is also important to note that although the shaman was able to observe and control, up to a point, his experience with the LSD, enough to avoid his coming to any great harm, he was not able to use this substance to call upon spiritual forces and make his work as a shaman.

As he himself said, the experience was useful so that he could understand the interior state of many young people from the west that were beginning to come to him looking for help. He also explained that physically, for him and his friends, the experience was very uncomfortable and they felt the draining effect of the chemical on their bodies and their energies.
It took them several days to recover from the experience with the help of plant medicines. We should understand that for people like them, who study and practice shamanism, the body is very sensitive and feels more effect from the chemical substance. They all said that the most unpleasant aspect of the experience on a physical level was the taste of the chemical in their mouths and its smell in their sweat.

Yaje, on the other hand, is medicinal and leaves one feeling replenished and healthy.

The hypnotic force that was present in their experience, the shaman explained, is an opposite force to that of the Kundalini. This shaman explained that just as there is an energetic current that Hindus call Kundalini (which shamans also know about) which goes up the spine, there is also an inverted version that extends from the base of the spine downwards into the infernal dimensions.

Prolonged use of LSD and also substances such as Ecstacy or Ketamin lead to the development of this serpent like energy that reaches down and draws its power from the inferior dimensions. This is the source of the ego. There are many egos inside each person. They are like entities or parasites that live in the subconscious and trap the human essence, bottling it up and feeding upon its energy in order to survive.
The ego or egos are like knots in the psychology and in reality the use of LSD and other such substances strengthens the ego and develops its complexity. To strengthen the ego is to travel upon the path towards black magic because black magic is the use of magic for selfish ends and conduces us towards the state of being a demon, and so this gives us a clue as to to the secret reasons why LSD was introduced to an unsuspecting youth during the 60’s.

Through the practice of shamanism there are people that have discovered the internal reality in both the positive and negative aspects. The psychedelia now present and influencing all of western culture is a way of disorientating, confusing and distracting young people and as such is a tool of the black magic power that controls the governments, the people and society in general.

In the beginning, LSD use tried to disguise itself as something alternative and revolutionary and many people with good hearts that wanted change and an alternative to the boring materialistic life fell into its labyrinth and never found their way out. Countless talented people have been tricked by the psychedelic illusion into using their gifts for the art, music and literature of the drug using generations but in the end the promise of a new tomorrow has been a mirage on the horizon as we walk through the empty desert of a modern society, devoid of real purpose or spiritual direction.

In truth, the word psychedelia has come to mean more than the meaning defined at the beginning of this article. Its meaning is the sum of the culture that was spawned by the introduction of LSD and all that it helped to develop on the downward path of degeneration. Clearly it is not only LSD that has played a role here, we can also list Heroin, Cocaine, Ketamin, Ecstacy, Amphetamines etc etc.

The direction of the youth drug culture was given nightmare proportions in the dark prophecies of William Burroughs with his surreal prose that called upon the subconscious realms for ‘inspiration’.

His famous ‘cut-up’ style became one of the blue prints of art for the psychedelic generation and this fragmented vision is a mirror to the fragmentation of the psyche that results when the sub-conscious forces are released without any comprehension of the interior and esoteric purpose.

Ken Kesey surfaced again in the late 90’s doing a re-run of his bus tour as he tried to relive the acid drenched days when he toured the US in a brightly painted day-glo bus, performing circus stunts.

When he revived the bus, it was quite clear that he had ended up like some kind of cartoon style Uncle Sam with no real message for the youth other than “have a good time man”.
Leary took psychedelic drugs until the end and finished up believing that the internet was going to save our souls.
Other psychedelic gurus and icons like Jack Kerouac and Jim Morrison ended up as alcoholics and drug addicts and died for their vices. The list goes on.

In reality the early promise of a cultural and spiritual revolution in the 60’s ended up as a collection of youth sub-cultures all designed to suit the different personalities and psychological make-ups; punks, goths, metal, hippies, ravers etc.

In the late 80’s a 60’s revival was staged with the introduction of Ecstacy, an alternative to LSD that was called the ‘love drug’ because of its supposed capacity to put people in a euphoric state but time showed that this was yet another false dawn for the youth and yet another doorway to the infernal realms.

The impulse to want a change and transformation in society is not unusual and many people feel it but the step between feeling it and doing it is a big one. It is strange that every time such an impulse emerges in society different drugs appear to give the answer, but in reality in no way does the use of chemicals such as LSD or Ecstacy conduce people towards any real transformation.

In the end we can see that the psychedelic style has been employed mainly to sell things; fashion, TV, cinema, music, etc all use the psychedelic style. The influence of psychedelic artists has become part of the style and design of modern life where what was the drab and unimaginative style of the post war 50’s has been converted into a glamorised materialism full of the colours, sound effects, visuals and special effects that are employed in the modern forms of entertainment evoking the sensual affects of the drug experience. Advertising in particular is an industry that has profited from using a surreal style full of triggers for the subconscious with the aim of impulsing the desires that everybody carries inside. Some people have even likened the use of many artistic elements taken from the drug experience in cinema etc to a kind of modern shamanism.

Certainly, it is true that there is an element of magic in all of this because the use of drugs opens the Pandora’s Box of the subconscious but what we find in the subconscious is not necessarily useful when it comes to living in a spiritual connection with our fellow humans, with nature and the development of a deep understanding of existence because the sub-conscious is full of a lot of rubbish that needs to be cleaned. This is why the use of Sacred Plants and the practice or shamanism requires discernment and care.

It is not a case of taking psychoactive substances without using the faculty of consciousness.

The subconscious and unconscious exist below the threshold of the conscious. That in us which is conscious is only a small percentage but we must learn to use this small portion of consciousness in order to liberate the soul essence that is trapped in the subconscious. We need to shine the light of the consciousness into the subconscious so that we can rescue the essence that is trapped within the unconscious patterns that we play out in our lives.
The psychedelic people, however, say that you should go with whatever comes up, surrender to the subconscious forces without question.

The people that study shamanism of light say that we should observe what comes up and learn about ourselves. In this case we need to develop the capacity for meditation and a connection with the spirit and with our Internal Being.

Use of the sacred plants such as Yaje, Peyote, San Pedro, Mushrooms, Coca etc are are a help for this because through the shamanic ritual we cultivate a connection to the plant spirit and through this to God in both the Male and Female aspects.

In truth, we can say that in order to meditate, to observe oneself and to be close to God we do not have to use these plants but they exist and were put here on this planet by God as a help for those that need their help.

On the contrary, LSD, Ecstacy, Ketamin, etc are not a help for connecting to the spirit because they make the subconscious more active but without the spiritual element that helps to make us more objective. When using these substances meditation is more difficult than normal because the nerves, the mind and the body become more agitated.

The sacred plants also affect the central nervous system but as the plant is something living, with a spirit, it is possible to use prayers, chants and concentration in order to control the substance in the body and harmonise with the elemental spirit of the plant so that you are calm and the energy is directed towards the spiritual realms, towards introspection, contemplation etc. This is why the shamans use their shamanic chants because through the chant and the plant elemental in your body responds and you can journey with it.

With LSD, the substance does not respond as a living spirit would so in this respect you are on your own, at the mercy of the subconscious elements that emerge.

We know that some people will say and do say that they have the ability to control the LSD and in reality everybody is free to believe what they want but we have known more than one person that was very sure of his guru status with LSD until he received an electrical nervous shock that he could not control and through this ended up losing all of the capacities he thought he had gained by using LSD.

Before embarking on the long path of shamanic study it is necessary to have at least a little bit of humility.

SHAMANISM AS AN ANTIDOTE TO THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF DRUG ABUSE.

Drug abuse causes damage to mind, body and soul, this is clear. The many side effects of drug abuse are well documented and many people have tasted for themselves the results in terms of damage to their health, their relationships, their minds and ultimately their hearts. When people become lost in cynicism about life it is because their hearts have become damaged and the person has lost his or her faith in life.

If we seek the help of shamanism and natural medicine in order to heal our bodies, our minds and our souls of drug abuse and in general of the pain suffered by our souls in this world so lost in materialism, greed and avarice, then first of all it is necessary to have at least a little bit of faith in God, in the plants and in Mother Nature, or Pachamama as she is known by the indigenous people of South America.

Another thing that we need to develop in order to be healed is the will to change because true healing implies a change in us. In this respect the plants can initially help us by showing us the change we need to make but it is up to us whether we make it or not.

If the modern generations that have interest in these themes were to develop a little more humility they would discover that they are like small children beginning in school whereas the indigenous Masters of ancient times that now live in the superior dimensions are the real teachers.

It is only a little more than 40 years since the interest in shamanism and the use of plants became more widely known in western culture. It is extremely arrogant to think that in that short space of time we can claim some kind of expertise in these matters when in reality 40 years is about enough for one person in continuous work to become a shaman and to do that he needs to draw upon the wisdom of previous generations, stretching back into ancient times.

Many anthropologists that claim to be experts in these matters after a few years study have not even got this back up of tribal experience as a source of wisdom.

We should take great heed of the work, effort and discipline required to become a shaman, for a shaman is a person with an immense knowledge, or better put, Gnosis of the interior realms, not to mention the fact that being a shaman does not only imply a use of shamanic techniques but also a complete way of life, a practical knowledge of plant medicine, cultivation of the earth, community and integration with Mother Nature.

The psychedelic world view has, in general, tried to add a pseudo-shamanic vision onto the modern lifestyle rather than seeking a transformation of lifestyle, hence the tendency towards the use of drugs and the idea of ‘urban shamanism’, a contradiction of terms if ever there was one.

If psychedelic drug-use is a kind of mutation of art and culture that leads to a greater immersion in the material and sensual illusion then Shamanism of Light is the antidote that leads us towards an authentic, archaic revival, a recuperation of the timeless values we find enshrined in the shamanic myths of many cultures.

It cannot be denied that the impulse itself that leads many young people to experiment with drugs is something that relates to an innate human impulse to want to change his everyday state of consciousness.

The fact that this impulse, in the present day, gets focused on chemical, psychedelic drugs is a reflection of the fact that a more positive alternative is not generally available and it is also a reflection of the materialist attitude of our society.

Many people are looking for something to fill the spiritual void that exists in modern day society and as such drug use is an outlet for this that unfortunately becomes an escape rather than a means of truly filling that void. Ultimately that impulse becomes diverted into a fascination with sense gratification which is why psychedelic art tends to be very sense orientated with forms and colours that reflect the tainted light of the infernal dimensions.

That ‘dark and seductive light’ gives the appearance of filling void but the accumulative affects of psychedelia produce a reduction in the body’s natural ability to produce hormonal substances important for our natural well being and the harmonious development of the chakras and the subtle bodies.

It has been documented that in ecstacy users the capacity of the brain to secrete the hormone serotonin, a substance related to the dream state and to feelings of joy and euphoria is destroyed, leaving the person dependent on ecstacy as an artificial replacement. In this sense it is like to try and force that euphoric state.

In the philosophy of shamanic peoples, however, it is not merely that a particular hormone produces, in a mechanical way, such a state but rather that the more subtle spiritual connection impulses the production of that hormone.

In the human body and brain there are many receptors that have the capacity to receive the hormones that stimulate the different states of consciousness but as humans have become more materialistic, the capacity to produce the corresponding hormone becomes atrophied. If we wish to reactivate the states of natural sensitivity, enjoyed by our ancestors, we would be better off recuperating the timeless values and ways of living in harmony with the living intelligence of life that are the solid basis for such states of being.

The planet is alive and conscious and has brought forth plants that can give us food for the soul and reveal it in a positive and intelligent way, leading us towards a conscious transformation of all that is hidden in the subconscious.

Yaje or Ayahuasca actually stimulates the brains capacity to produce hormones such as serotonin. It helps in the regeneration of our atrophied faculties, if that is, we are ready to follow the promptings and teachings offered to us by this marvellous plant, with all the respect that it is due.

Many Indigenous shamans today are aware of the esoteric terms that have become widely used and I have heard them say that Yaje is Kundalini in plant form. Kundalini is the Divine Mother inside us, a subtle energy that lies coiled at the base of the spine. When this force is awakened in us it hails a complete transformation of the human being. This process is a long one and if we wish to follow such a path the shamanic wisdom is necessary.

Yaje is a medicine that balances the central nervous system, repairs the nerves damaged by the abuse of chemical drugs and the radiation so present through the many electronic devices that have become an everyday part of modern life.

Yaje helps cellular regeneration and in this respect it is also useful in the treatment of illnesses such as cancer and AIDS. It is not for nothing that some people have noted a connection between Yaje in form and vision with the DNA itself, because it is precisely on this level that it works and can give healing at a genetic level, if we have the heart and intelligence to be open and accepting of all that the elemental spirit of Yaje asks of us for in nature all is an exchange and if you work for the mission of Yaje, Yaje will work for you.

This civilization says that it represents progress, evolution, achievement in science and technology and the ability to use and adapt natural resources in order to give us humans a better life.
That is the propaganda of our modern civilization that has traditionally ignored and repressed its other side. This was true through the 18th and early 19th centuries and since then there has been a gradual release of inhibitions and taboos about sex, liberty, consciousness and so on, leading to the opposite extreme, i.e. philosophies, that counsel complete freedom of exploration without discernment. In reality there are two columns in life, that of severity and that of mercy. To be too severe and rigid is one mistake and to be too libertine is another.

In the 60’s, this reaction to the rigid religious values exploded.

The reaction had been growing for a while. People, such as Byron, Shelley, Crowley, Oscar Wilde etc had begun to breech the walls of repression, making visible the other side of the coin. When ecstatic states are prohibited they take a form that is reactionary. The natural impulses become distorted and exaggerated even turning into anger, hatred, abuse etc. but in all this one can detect the yearning for freedom, confused as it may be.

This is the unfolding and release of all those repressed sub-conscious forces, magically one could say, into the society at large. It is an endless conflict that goes round and round in circles. Our consciousness has become conditioned, trapped in between two extremes and without self knowledge, thus we lurch from repression to uncontrolled debauchery.

First with religious dogma and fanaticism we repressed and imprisoned ourselves and began to invent all manner of technology and ways of distancing ourselves from the natural. We became ashamed of our natural state….And then those natural forces locked inside and repressed began to explode and we burst out with all that pent up energy ready to try anything without knowledge of ourselves and so we try what is ‘forbidden’ and we try it without control or balance, desperate, and thus we came to the culture ‘Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll’ in a world where mans abuse of religion has turned him first into a fanatic and then into an atheist.

If we have the capacity, however, to learn from all this we can return to the natural way with the experience of the cycle under our belts and recover the wisdom of the ancients before it disappears completely.

Shamanism in its true sense gives us the opportunity to break this conditioning because it returns us to the original, unconditioned consciousness. It takes us to the archaic revival of the indigenous state. At the root of it all there is an indigenous person inside all of us, for the indigenous state is natural innocence, freedom from concepts, observation of things as they are, simplicity.

At this point in the human process we have the opportunity to return to the beginning but our returning requires that we learn the lesson of having lost the original innocence of our soul. We need to make a retrieval of our souls from the trap of being imprisoned inside a set of conditions, locked inside the subconscious. In the ultimate sense, shamanic healing is retrieval of the original seed, it is to take possession of your soul and this is a work of great patience.

Above all to return to Our Mother and Our Father is an adventure that gives life meaning again.
The natural impulse in itself is not good or bad, it is what we do with it that defines us.
If we want to seek sensual enjoyment we can and if we want to discover the wonders of the spirit we can. The choice is ours.

YAJÉ : ANCIENT MEDICINE PLANT.

Nature herself is a book full of wisdom. Man has not studied this wisdom much and has been contributing more to her destruction than to than to discovering her great qualities, faculties and wise healing powers for the benefit of humanity.
Understanding nature is not only about seeing it from a scientific or an ecological point of view. We can refer ourselves to the Bible and the book of Genesis, which says; "To you I am giving all the plants of the Earth which produce seeds and all the trees that give fruit, all this you can have for nourishment. And God saw and thought that everything he created was good."
If we consider ourselves open minded people we can reflect about the deep meaning of this valuable information. Obviously not all the plants are edible but we can understand that there are plants that are for nourishment of the body and others that are nourishment for the Spirit. Among this last group are those that are considered by the Indigenous peoples to be Sacred Plants. Many materialists, pseudo scientists and chemists have expanded a negative reputation of the sacred plants calling them drugs that induce fantasy and halluncinations. That reputation has been used to help stop the freedom of the human individual and collective development and to support political and economic interests.
However; "God thought that everything he created was very fine."

YAJÉ (Ayahuasca) is a truely extraordinary plant and although there are many people who are pro artificial substances (chemical drugs) we must talk about and emphasise the virtues and qualities of this plant based on the experience of it for the good of all humanity.
The YAJÉ is a plant that comes originally from and grows in a natural and cultivated environment in all the AMAZONIC ZONE, that is, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil and Peru.
Yajé is in general used by Shamans or Healers for curative purposes. Yajé cures almost everything and is used together with other plants for the purpose that it is needed for. Yajé is a great mind stimulant and a great blood and digestive system cleanser. It produces visions in relation to Amazonian Mythology and life in the Amazon lands. It shows the inner states of each person. Those visions that the sceptics or non-believers call hallucinations are used to interpret wisely by the healers to find out the origins of illness in order to find the way of healing that will be appropriate to the patient.
Generally just using the Yajé and taking it is enough to initiate the healing process but sometimes other plants are given to the patient in order to complete the treatment. Yajé is not addictive on the physical level for people, neither does it cause an upheaval on the emotional level. However, we must take into consideration the amount that is given, this should be perscribed by an experienced healer. We should not to take more than the recommended dose depending on what type of illness or other purposes that it is going to be used for.

On the day before Yajé is going to be taken it is recommended to have a special diet consisting of plain food such as rice, fish, vegetables, or even to fast. The drink of Yaje is prepared is by grounding the woody vine down and then cooking it in water and mixing it with a female plant called Chagropanga.
The way Yajé works varies from person to person according to the physical, emotional and psychological state of the individual. It generally gives symptoms such as relaxation, vomiting, dizzyness, sleepiness, diarria. All these are signs of cleansing. Yajé gives people various types of visions depending on their inner states and can vary from one extreme to the other (ie; from diabolical to blissful, meeting God.) There is no doubt that Yajé awakens certain parts of the mind that are asleep due to the way of life that modern man lives nowadays and many people have experienced and checked for themselves the enormous awakening that was waiting for them. Abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance and dream interpretation as well as many other things can be accessed through the natural substances that the plant contains. Through the use of this plant in its sacred context we can discover the secrets and ways of an ancient culture that is different from ours and learn its meaning and its purpose.

Nowadays there is much information available through books, films and on the internet especially about the sacred plants that have been used by Indigenous Shamans for millennia.
The plants are sold by mail order to any curious person that wants to experiment, as is the Western disposition, after having read books and accumulated theories as to the chemical contents and types of experience possible from such plants.
After having reviewed much of this information we can say with security that much of it is not founded upon any deep understanding of these plants and their qualities. The Indigenous peoples have developed their understanding and wisdom over long periods of time and they say that these plants came from the Gods and that they were taught by the Gods the correct ways to use them, in what context and under what disciplines.
To be a shaman of the sacred plants is not only to experiment and mix and apply in whatever context or under whatever conditions without first preparing oneself and studying oneself and the plants, getting to know them, how they grow and what is their nature.
It is recommended to approach these plants through people that have understanding about their use, if that is we want to open ourselves to a new way of thinking and understanding the universe in which we live.

The individual who closes his or her mind to new concepts and understanding is at risk of stagnating for life. The best way to go about in this world is without fixation. Throughout history we can see that all those people who keep their minds open to new possibilities are ahead of their time, showing their intelligence and wisdom through their actions and ideas. Often they have had much opposition to their work, but it is due to them, their presence and their sacrifice that we have received many benefits for mankind in the realms of philosophy, science, the arts, medicine and so on.

Now these sacred plants are showing us their secrets. Should we condem them for that? I think that we are better off getting to know them and studying the tree of golden fruit that is life and discovering the unknown.

VASUDEV.

SHAMANIC AND ECOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF COLOMBIA

MASTER SAMAEL AND THE GNOSIS

There are many people today that understand that we live in times of great challenges and contradictions.
The world is facing many social and environmental problems. Wars, international crime, political corruption, corporate greed and exploitation, poverty and the unsustainable use of natural resources, drug addiction, epidemics, new diseases, atmospheric pollution and much more.
The horsemen of the apocalypse are riding through the storm clouds that are gathering over this troubled humanity and the planet we live on.

If we examine this web of inter-connected problems and try to comprehend their roots it is not difficult to understand that at the root we have a spiritual crisis on our hands. This is a crisis of immense proportions. It is a crisis of values.

At the same time we see arriving, day by day, new (and old) systems of self-development, therapies, meditation practices, religions, cults, sects and gurus in all shapes, sizes and colours. The shops are stocked with books offering solutions and magazines are full of adverts for workshops.
All are proposing, in one form or another, to remedy our problems, to make us happier, to make us successful and make us more spiritual.
For determined sums of money one can buy initiation, one can become a healer overnight, one can follow a saviour who will magic away our problems.

In the different ages of the world there have been many spiritual paths and practices that have had their moments of ascendancy and their moments of decay.
Every religion has its essence and its source. There have always been persons who have attained superior levels of development and self realisation, inspiring religions and spiritual movements.
At any particular moment we can find that there are certain places upon the Earth that are magnetic centres of force in regard to spiritual wisdom. There have been many cultures inspired by a true blossoming of spiritual inspiration, learning and attainment.
All of this bears relation to the influences of the stars and the science we call astrology, which interprets those influences.

It is certain that the wisest of every religion transcend their particular cultural influences, whilst also heightening them to their most transcendent expression.
Those beings that reach such transcendence and achieve inner realisation arrive at the point of being able to leave behind the cycle of birth and death, that in the oriental traditions is known as the Wheel of Samsara. Those beings finish completely with their karma.
Many of them, for the love of their fellow humans, chose to remain in the atmosphere of the planet and at certain times voluntarily incarnate in order to help this suffering humanity.
The Masters are a fraternity and in this fraternity there are masters from all traditions: Buddhist, Indigenous, Christian, Sufi, Egyptian, Mayan, Celtic, Chinese, Inka and many more. They know that in essence all is one. They know that God is one.

In the Hindu tradition Krishna is recognised as an incarnation of Vishnu, The Father. Rama was another incarnation of Vishnu. Many Hindus also recognise Jesus Christ as being an incarnation of Vishnu.
All of these beings incarnated the Intimus, the Interior Being.
In Mexico there was Quetzalcoatl, in the Andes, Huiracocha, in China Fu Hsi, in Egypt, Horus and so on.
The Intimus is the internal Christ, the Solar Logos.
This extremely divine force lives in each one of us as the spark of our essence known as the Budata. The Budata is a small fraction of our true being. We cannot incarnate our true being until we have eliminated the false personality or the ego.
The ego is not one, infact, but many for there are living inside us many different psychological "I's." These I's are errors that trap the essence and bottle up the consciousness and they compete amongst themselves to be in charge of the vehicle leading us on the path of error away from God.
The real spiritual work begins when we make this realisation for ourselves, within ourselves. This kind of understanding underpins all real spiritual paths.

Gnosis.

Gnosis is a word of Greek origin and means direct knowledge. We use this word to indicate that the only real path is the path of experiential knowledge that comes through life intensely lived. Gnosis is the way of initiation into the Greater Mysteries and lies at the heart of all the great religions in their esoteric or inner aspect.
The path of initiation is an exact science and its essence and formula never differs for "Narrow is the path and steep is the way."
Much of what calls itself gnosis in these modern times is not really gnosis. The modern "spirituality" tends to believe that we can discover our own truth and make up our own way, thus practicing many contradictory methods, believing that they will all achieve the same results. All is according to the whims of the ego and the subjectivity's of the mind.

We want, however, to be clear and say that YES, everyone's experience is individual but the real way is the same for all because the path of initiation and inner knowledge of the mysteries is a very exact science.
If we combine, scientifically, chemicals X, Y and Z and then we combine chemicals A, B and C, obviously the result will be completely different, so it is in the interior work, we need certain formula to achieve certain results.
In the path of awakening we need to know the directions, we need a map and we need to know the essential work of awakening. Although the outer forms are different all the initiatic traditions that lead to awakening have the same basic understandings.


The Great Work.

Until recent times the more interior aspects and practices of the initiatic wisdom were kept secret from the public at large. The initiate was required to arrive at a certain level of understandings in order to receive these teachings.
In the 1950's, however, a man emerged from Colombia in Latin America and began to teach the secrets openly.
Principally, he taught about the incarnation of the being. He told us that at the core of the human question and the question of awakening is the question of sex.
The energy of sex, in a cosmic sense, is that which gives birth to galaxies, solar systems, planets, animals, plants and humans.
The three principles of gnosis are:
1. Death. We must die to ourselves psychologically by eliminating the ego.
2. Birth. The second birth is an internal birth in the spirit. This is alchemical.
3. Sacrifice. We need to make sacrifice in order to help our fellow man.

In order to arrive at the point of elimination of ego we first need to comprehend on all levels of the sub-conscious, each ego.
We cannot, however, eliminate the ego with mind power. The ego is eliminated with Divine assistance and this can only occur with the help of the interior fire of the Kundalini Serpent. The Kundalini Serpent is Our Divine Mother.
The Feminine is energy (Shakti) and the masculine is the activating principle (Shiva).

The serpent is sacred in many cultures and is a symbol of the serpent of fire that lies inside us at the base of the spine.
The awakening of the serpent takes place by degrees and is achieved by the practice of sexual alchemy or tantra, that is to say the union of the male and the female in sexual connection of the penis and vagina but finishing the act without reaching the point of orgasm. The resulting energy is transmuted inwards and upwards.
Orgasm allows the energy to go down and out and thus loses our life force and speeds up the aging process.
We eliminate the egos with the help of our Divine Mother we incarnate the Christ and through this process we arrive at the point of union with our Interior Father. The Divine Mother and Interior Father are both aspects of the being.
Through sexual alchemy we also crystallise the solar bodies, Astral, Mental and Causal.
There is much more that we could say about this doctrine of sexual alchemy, more than space allows. In this moment it is enough to say that sexual alchemy is the key. This is the "stone that the builders rejected."
Master Samael Aun Weor elaborates much more deeply and effectively on this matter than we could hope to here and has written various books on the subject.

In giving these teachings, Samael Aun Weor, broke the seal that kept these teachings a guarded secret for many ages. In so doing he caused a great deal of controversy amongst the different movements and orders in the world of occult and esoteric study, among both those who knew and those who didn't.
Prior to this the teachings were only revealed symbolically for those "with eyes to see and ears to hear." (E.g. the alchemical texts.)

Who is Samael Aun Weor and why did he do this?

After intense study and practice Samael Aum Weor arrived at the point of his internal realisation with the discovery and practice of the eternal wisdom doctrines.
Aun Weor is the bodisatwa, the human soul and is the vehicle for Samael. Samael is the interior being, the internal father.
Samael was one of the fallen angels but he rose again "the serpent on the staff."
The interior Father Samael is the regent of the planet Mars, which is force.
In Hindu tradition it is spoken that at the end of the Kali Yuga (dark age) i.e. these times, would arrive the next incarnation of Vishnu, the KALKI AVATAR to dispel the darkness of the Kali Yuga age. There are many other traditions that say we are at the end of an age, including the Inka, the Maya, the Hopi. Many scenarios in the world show the conditions spoken of in the book of Revelations in the Bible and the prophecies of Nostradamus amongst others.
In the Himalayas the Kalki Avatar is one and the same as the Buddha Maitreya. In the mythology of that mystic region the Buddha Maitreya is depicted arriving to help humanity on a great white horse.
The Russian painter and Himalayan explorer, Nicholas Roerich, made many beautiful paintings of the Himalayas and the mystic qualities of those mountains. He painted many mythical and symbolic scenes and often depicted the Buddha Maitreya riding on his white horse as a figure in the clouds above the vast mountain ranges.
This was a prophecy of the coming of this great being.

Samael Aun Weor, Kalki Avatar and Buddha Maitreya, Avatar of the age of Aquarius was given the authority to reveal the secret teachings to all of humanity according to the will of God.
The authenticity of this can only be known in the fruits of his work, which are a body of profound teachings that are, essentially, very practical teachings both clear and to the point.
Master Samael tells us not to believe or disbelieve but to practice and to know. He gives us essential and verifiable keys to knowledge; he told us that he is only a signpost.
He said that the initiation is the same life intensely lived and that the mysteries are an exact science that has been known and practiced for all time.
Master Samael revealed the doctrine of the synthesis that brings together and synthesises the essence of teaching in all religions from all corners of the Earth and from all ages. For this reason he is Avatar of Aquarius and the proof of this is that the synthesis is precisely in keeping with the Age of Aquarius whose symbol is man carrying the waters of life. Aquarius is the age of Man and it is completely appropriate that the Avatar of this age should bring together in synthesis the teachings of all religions and mystery traditions from all races, creeds and cultures.

Master Samael revealed these teachings to the world because we are now in the "end times" spoken of in "Revelations" and God needs to collect the seeds for a new race that will continue on this planet after its coming purification.
The doors of the Apocalypse have opened and Master Samael understood exactly the necessity of these times. Time is short and the merciful Father wants that we should have one last chance before the end of this race.
Only a conscious and radical revolution can give us the capacity to become true men and women of Aquarius. Only a radical transformation can save our souls from the abyss and the pain and suffering that will entail.
In order to be a seed for the new race on a renewed earth it is not enough to advance 1% or 2 % in this lifetime, we need to make a revolution inside us.
This is the message of Samael Aun Weor.
Unfortunately, in these decisive moments there are many false gurus and avatars who claim that we will pass into a golden age just like that, as if by magic but if we look around us, where is this famed golden age that humanity is "logically" proceeding toward.
Where among the hungry and starving, the war and pestilence, the imperialism and the capitalism is there a great golden age dawning?
How can humanity, in its present state enter a golden age with so much greed, vanity, lust, pride, sloth and so on. Clearly we must change radically.
We cannot be saved by this guru or that guru just by believing in him or her, we won't be saved by the touch of this Baba or that swami, the scent of his robe or the smell of her perfume.
Precisely in this age there abound false prophets and ghastly gurus who want to entrance us and offer us an easy solution because we all want easy solutions.
Master Samael taught that we must urgently work on ourselves, we must understand and become conscious of our internal state. We must pay our karma and change; there is no other way. But karma cannot be paid, as some suppose, with a vortex healing (or similar) "Jus' like that!" as a famous comedian used to say. Karma is paid by work and sacrifice and in order to truly pay karma we need to learn the art of Karma Yoga.

Many of the old traditions, although in essence carrying true pearls of wisdom, have become shadows of their former selves; they have lost the force of true internal change. They have fudged important issues and confused the teachings, pandering to the laziness of modern man to secure followers and material success, others are swallowed up in the fanaticism that theirs is the only way, without understanding that the way is the inner way that lies at the root of all of them and unites all of them internally.
The real religion is one and that is the religion of Universal Love.

All of this is part of a large process, everywhere the tentacles of the Beast of the Apocalypse reach into the institutions of man as it seeks to dominate the world. Those same tentacles live inside each one of us in our hearts and minds. The work is to extract them.
We have an opportunity now to change and work for the good of humanity, for no matter what humanity has done, God wants to help us and wants to give us more time. However, there can only be so long and all things must reach their logical conclusion.
The choice for us is to work and help others to have the chance to make enough interior change to be the seeds of a new humanity in a golden age that will arrive after the purification that this planet needs.
Alternatively, if we continue the same our souls will be sent to a planet in a lower stage of evolution where we will suffer much pain. This planet is now near to our solar system, it is a dark and dense planet. For us it will be the abyss.
Humanity now stands teetering on the edge of the abyss and very few really want to change.
Master Samael has brought us the keys of change and we have given some explanation and reasons for this in this article, in the spirit of Master Samael and for all of humanity.

May the light of Christ shine in your hearts.

HARE KRISHNA!

GNOSTIC SHAMANISM OF LIGHT

THE CHRIST & THE ANTI-CHRIST

THE CHRIST & THE ANTI-CHRIST



We reflect, in this Easter week that all those that attack and kill the weak and innocent, mothers and children, young men just because they are Palestinian or Iraqi or whatever of the races of the so called "third world" are precisely attacking and killing over and over again THE CHRIST for Christ is representative of the poor, the oppressed, the forgotten.



The leaders of Israel are followers of the ANTI CHRIST --- terrible entity that invades the minds and hearts of the proud, the arrogant, the weak in Spirit --- they want to create World War 3 because they hate the human race --- Those terrible Demons that killed CHRIST in Palestine all those years ago --- the ones that preferred to condemn to death an innocent man that only did his best to console the poor and dis -possessed, to cure the sick and to teach them the way to heal their karma --- those same spirits of evil are now incarnated once more in these Times of the End and they hide themselves behind the Star of David and the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack, behind banking institutions and all the machinery of war and destruction, multi-national corporations etc.

All that defend Israel under whatever pretext such as the much repeated slogan of Anti Semite are no more than apologists and acomplacies in the crime and whatever their discourse re Revolution will never manage anything real unless they eliminate from themselves the brain washing of the propaganda machine.


The followers of The Anti Christ corrupt and debase the original spirit of IS-RA-EL, they ignore the Prophets such as Elias, Daniel etc and have usurped and imposed upon the true religion of JEHOVAH with the doctrine of YAHWEH the fallen angel... they corrupt the LAW of God (Hypocrites, Pharasies, Scribes, Intellectual Idiots, Theorizers etc.)

The LAW is not only what is written in the books of law but rather that which is written by God in the hearts of man and in the Green leaves of Mother Nature. The books of law written by the hands of man serve for nothing if there is no echo of Truth and Justice in the hearts of men.





Those demons turned the Sacred Law into a confusing intellectual debate of the MIND of Satan (e.g. The Talmud) and now they confuse the world with the words that they twist and the lies they make aimed against the real humanity --- the real people of IS-RA-EL. (IS = Isis The Divine Mother, RA = Ra the Sun God or Solar Logos, EL = Elohim, Gods and Goddesses).

The Anti-Christ owns modern science, has infiltrated all religious institutions, is the lord of corrupt politicians, is the instigator of all sexual de-generation (homosexualism, lesbianism, adultery, fornication etc), is the chief of anarchy and violent revolution, drug abuse and many more etcs. Truly there is not a human institution or an aspect of life into which the Anti-Christ has not entered and to this day desecrates the most sacred temple of all --- THE HUMAN HEART.



It is written by the Masters of The White Lodge that the only way to overcome the Anti Christ is through A-HIMSA, through non-violent means for violence creates hatred and hatred creates more hatred.

We must first defeat the Anti Christ inside ourselves by removing from our consciousness the Anti-Christic way of thinking by elimination of our defects or egos that are as a result of us following unconsciously the anti-teachings of the Anti-Christ, Demon that impulsed the fall of Man from the Paradise of Eden.



The Anti Christ incarnates in all those souls that make themselves vehicles for selfishness, for the 7 deadly Sins to a level at which they become initiates of the Black Lodge.


Historically the Anti Christ, that is the same YAHWEH, usurped the true religion of ABRAHAM, MOSES, DAVID, SOLOMAN and the prophets, corrupting the original devotion to God into WORSHIP of the GOLDEN CALF (Money) – LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. The Anti-Christ was present in the Temple lending money when Christ came and sent him packing with the whip of the Christic Will.



Humanity does not understand these things because many have been the lifetimes of the souls immersed in ignorance and nowadays people defend the Anti-Christ that sits on the throne of the Great Beast number 666 which is USA-ISRAEL.

We need to understand exactly the nature of the SECRET ENEMY of Mankind who are those adepts of the Black Lodge, masters of illuson and deception, cowards that never show their faces to humanity and who use the IDIOT POLITICIANS as puppets (George Bush, Tony Blair, Barak Obama, etc.)

The only true politicians are the ones that defend the poor and oppressed and speak the TRUTH in the pulpit of the UN and in any place where they are called upon to do so, (E.g. Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales) defending also the use of the Sacred Plants such as the COCA LEAF.



THE CHRIST.



In reality Christ is not only a historical person but also a cosmic force.

Jesus Christ incarnated the Christ, which is LIFE, it is the SUBSTANCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS of God in all things and for this reason is SON OF GOD for God is Father and Mother.



The Christ has incarnated in many cultures and in many epochs e.g.



WIRACOCHA and THUNAPA among the INKAS and AYMARA.



BOCHICA among the MUISCAS of Colombia.



QUETZALCOATL among the AZTEC and MAYA



LUGH of the Long Arm among the Irish Celts.



LLEW among the Welsh Celts



DIONYSIS and ATTIS in Greece



HORUS in Egypt



MITHRA AND ZOROASTER in Persia



KRISHNA and RAMA in India



These are some examples. Christ is a cosmic principal that is symbolized in all cultures. Christ is LIFE, LIGHT and LOVE.

CHRIST is pure consciousness.



The Crucifixion and the Resurrection lived in the flesh by the Master Jesus symbolize the Death of the Ego upon the Cross of Sexual Alchemy and the Resurrection of the Spirit, the transformation of Matter into Spirit.

The ego can only be eliminated through SEXUAL ALCHEMY and with the help of the DIVINE MOTHER KUNDALINI, feminie aspect of our True Being who can reduce the ego to cosmic dust and thus allow the superior values of The Being to incarnate themselves in us.



The Christic way is the way of brotherhood among all races and cultures – It is the true Socialism of Spirit and once this culture of the Anti-Christ that currently dominates the planet destroys itself a new culture based on the Christic principles will be installed. CHRISTIC SOCIALISM OF THE NEW AGE OF AQUARIUS.



All those that want the truth need to unite and defend the Christ, defend the poor, the oppressed and speak the truth about the diabolical plans of the followers of the Anti-Christ.

Furthermore the aim is to make ourselves as seeds of the new humanity, to live in community, to work in harmony with our Earthly Mother and all the elemental spirits of nature as taught by Jesus Christ in the Essene gospels, by all the Masters of the White Lodge and also by the Indigenous Shamans of Light and followers of Wiracocha, Quetzalcoatl etc. (Masters of the Indigenous Ray)



We reject the false religion and the imposers that try to make religion a drug for fanatics that kill each other in the name of God.

That is the false religion that seeks to turn the people away from God and make them atheists.



The birth, death and resurrection of CHRIST can take place inside us. This is the GNOSTIC AND ESOTERIC Christianity recognized in all places by the awake people for the Light always recognizes the Light.



Christ also manifests in plant form. The CHRIST OF THE JUNGLE is the elemental spirit of YAJE or AYAHUASCA.

Yaje is Christ and Yaje is Kundalini the Divine Mother also represented as ISIS, MARY, PACHAMAMA, BRIDEY etc.



In these END TIMES with the Apocalypse upon us the best thing to do is to make PSYCHOLOGICAL work and supreme efforts to comprehend the EGO and return in our hearts to GOD, to KRISHNA or by whichever of the many names you prefer. (ALLAH, JEHOVAH, PACHAKAMAK etc.)



All that have revolutionary impulse cannot make real revolution without having ESOTERIC knowledge. Revolutions of blood and anarchy are useless. Revolution without consciousness and without devotion to God are only a waste of time and just a form of augmenting the chaos and confusion.



The SECRET ENEMY (International Judaism, Gringo Capitalists etc) know this and for this reason The Rockefeller Foundation and other of the many faces of the Anti Christ fund revolutionary movements AS LONG AS THEY ARE CYNICAL toward GOD, As long as they promote Anarchy and Chaos, as long as they promote anger and violence.

So beware of the FALSE PROPHETS such as the makers of ZEITGEIST who send a cynical and negative message toward religion and towards Christ promoting a technological solution to the crisis and negating the existance of Jesus Christ and the possibility of Virgin Birth or resurrection. Their discourse is subtle and camoflages their true intentions.

The Anti-Christ always creates the problem and when it is very bad will give the job to some minion of atheist consciousness to propose "the solution" - The solution presented in Zeitgeist 2 is vague and without foundation as if a solution will appear from nowhere and there will be no solution that doesn't include CHRIST and the teachings of Christ in the most ample sense of understanding of who and what Christ is.


“Don’t confuse the swelling with the fat” is a saying in Latin America. Its not religion or the religious impulse in itself that’s the problem, its our corruption of it that’s the problem.

Its not the TEACHINGS of Christ that are the problem but the use of Christs name to commit atrocities against the Children of God (Humanity) as done by the “Holy” Roman Catholic Church and virtually all the so called Christian Religions that made secret alliances with the Secret Enemy and prostituted themselves at the altar of the God of the Infidels (Money).



If we wish to be part of a New Age of True Spirituality we need to make the INNER JIHAD --- the war against our own defects and weaknesses and eliminate from ourselves the connection we have internally with this illusion created by the Anti Christ and return to our MOTHER EARTH, care for this creation and live in union with our brothers and sisters of whatever sex, creed, race and colour.



VIVA EL CRISTO.

SHAMANSIM OF LIGHT.

2012… A Shamanic Odyssey

2012… A Shamanic Odyssey

Its December, 2008 and there are only 4 years before we will find out exactly what’s going to happen in December 2012, a date made famous due to the predictions of the Mayan calendar as being the end of and entire cycle within their Long Count calendar.

According to the Mayan way of measuring and keeping time we are at the end of one age of the Sun, each age lasting 5125 years.
To understand more or less how the Mayan calendar works requires study but we can say as an overview that the Mayans counted and measured many more cycles than we do.
And they inter-relate these cycles as if they were cogs of a giant machine giving each day a unique combination of influences that take into account not only the movement of the Earth, Sun and Moon but also Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and, furthermore, much wider cosmic movements at a galactic level. This system is much more accurate and precise than other calendar systems in other cultures, giving the Mayans the honour of having been the experts in the movements of the celestial bodies and of time.

Their study of these movements in space and time also gave rise to very interesting observations about the distinct influences that affect the Earth and the Solar System in which we are traveling through the great galactic spaces.

For the Maya the 21st December 2012 will be the end of a 5125 year creation cycle. A cycle that began in 3114 BC in our calendar. It is the end of a 13 Baktun round and the beginning of a new creation… or in modern terminology it’s the end of one age and the beginning of a New Age. It also corresponds to an alignment of our solar system to the centre of the galaxy.

What this will mean for us who are alive in this time witnessing the events that take place on the planet will depend on many things, not least our state of consciousness.

It is interesting to also note the extent to which the dates of the Mayan calendar co-inside with other information as much on the scientific side as on the side of prophecies in various cultures.

According to the Incas we are presently entering a new Pachakutik or a new era on this planet. According to traditional elders in Peru the process of the new Pachakutik began in 1990 and this process of changing Pachakutiks takes 22 years… being completed in August 2012…The Hopi elders have also said that the Earth is in a time of purification and preparation that began in 1998 and will end in… 2012.
Seneca elders also say that we are in the midst of a 25 years purification period that will end in 2012. In South Africa an 80 year old Zulu Shaman has spoken of a certain star with a long tail that will return thousands of years after it was last seen, causing big climatic and weather changes. He said it would return in the year red bull which corresponds to 2012 in our calendar. The Maoris say that at the beginning of time the Earth and sky were pushed apart by the Gods of the sea, the wind and war and that they will eventually crash back together in the year 2012.

Studies of the I Ching have revealed that this system of prediction reaches a kind of zero point in the year 2012.
A number of reported Near Death Experiences have also spoken of being shown visions of the future in which there were dramatic changes on the planet by the year 2012.
Especially interesting are studies with children that have had near death experiences and reported changes on the planet with relation to climate, society and consciousness, all pointing toward 2012.


Changes in the Earths Geomagnetic field are being noted by scientists who say that the Geomagnetic field is dropping and in recent times, dropping at an ever increasing rate. When it reaches zero point there will be a reversal of planetary polarity. The Canadian government has been monitoring the North Pole and say that it has been moving since 1904 but since 1974 its moving 4 times faster than before. Meanwhile, French Geologists have noted areas where polarities are being reversed in the ocean to the south of South Africa. They say that the magnetic fields are disappearing around the poles and that there are huge masses of molten iron beneath the earths surface at the poles that are rotating in a reverse direction, weakening the magnetic fields.
Siberian geologist Dr Alexey Dimitriev has studied at length increased solar activity and the Earths magnetic field and concludes that a reversal is underway and this he says, also relates to temperature changes and the frequency of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods etc which have increased by 600% in the past 40 years. Dimitriev says, also that the solar system is moving through a plasma cloud… (Plasma is like a gas of electrons) and that this also is affecting the climate, the geo-magnetic field and other planetary and atmospheric elements.
At the centre of a tornado or hurricane vaccums are created that are related to phenomena such as fire balls and other lights. The frequency of these kinds of phenomena is also in the increase although physics doesn’t fully understand why.

In reality there are many different types of phenomena that are presenting themselves and pushing the boundaries of what we know in relation to the mechanics of the universe and to more than one of the more open minded scientists around say that we are heading toward some kind of zero point that will lead to dramatic changes and also great revelations as to the nature of many of the mysteries still not understood by our science.

Other people have investigated in the fields of human psychology and the effects that different solar, cosmic, magnetic etc changes upon our minds, bodily rythmns and functions etc..
One of the more relevant aspects here has been the study of certain molecules that occur naturally in some plants and also are produced by the pineal gland in the human brain.
In particular we refer to DMT and Harmine. These molecules are produced in the pineal gland and also appear in the Ayahuasca or Yaje brew used by Amazon shamans and as we know, this relates to visionary states of consciousness. It would appear to be no co-incidence that the shamanic use of Ayahuasca is also showing people that many extraordinary things are passing on our small blue planet.

Some scientists call DMT “The Spirit Molecule.”
Dr Rick Straussman of New Mexico university studied DMT closely and found that the brain produces this substance in greater quantity in near death situations, birth, death itself, mystical states of consciousness and even close encounter experiences. Changes in Geomagnetic levels also affect the production of DMT.

Obviously this is not something merely mechanical for, as we know, consciousness affects matter… this is what the shaman knows, for he knows that it is not simply that the substance causes a chemical reaction but rather that the substances in the plants are acting in a more conscious way, giving access to more subtle dimensions – just as death does.
This can be linked with the discoveries of molecules within atoms that appear and disappear constantly (Quantum physics), demonstrating the existence of dimensions beyond this one and also that matter is really not as solid as we suppose but is, but rather, the manifestation that comes from another dimension beyond this physical world.

In this respect the substances, alkaloids etc present in plants such as Ayahusca or Peyote or Psylosibin Mushrooms are molecules that are somehow closer to the subtle realms and open our perception to those realms.. the very realms that are their and our source, for all originates beyond the veil of this 3 dimensional world in which we live.

Some scientists that are studying these things speculate, based on their observations, that certain events, geomagnetic changes, solar activity, galactic alignments etc could trigger mass changes in perception… revelations, visions etc and in many respects they are right for as this world we live in is stretched more to its limits of resistance and denial of “the other” the more that the cracks will and are showing. The whole illusion of our civilization, the limits that we have placed on our perception, in our minds, in our way of life is being challenged by ever more extreme events in our world and all of these are signs that, indeed, a great change is occurring.

Imagine if you were to be launched into the unknown without any preparation, without prior warning… its possible that you will not resist this planetary shamanic journey that we are on. You need to prepare for the consciousness shifting events that are occurring so as to be able to assimilate the changes. This is the purpose of Shamanism of Light, to take us toward the future preparing us for apocalypse, revelation, total change, the opening up of reality. For some this will be terrifying and will drive them crazy, for others it will be positive. All depends on us.

In this we are not saying that on 21st Dec 2012 the world will end. Its not quite like that but it will represent another significant step in what is the procession of events that unfold in this planetary drama. Obviously we centre all around our human experience, as is natural for us, but for the planet itself, for the Mother Pachamama it is also something very important – indeed it will be something like a liberation for all the spirits of nature that have been affected by the human actions. It is a renewal for nature and is a process that is constantly ending the world as we know it. If we learn how to live our own internal apocalypse here and now (Apocalypse means Revelation) which means searching for the truth and dieing to our lies then we will be able to prepare ourselves. This means a revolution of consciousness in order to tune into the planetary and cosmic revolution of consciousness.
The process is already in motion, the changes are already happening… Shamanic catharthis, self knowledge, sexual regeneration, all of these are vital as is the conscious devotion of each devotee to God, to Krishna, to the supreme consciousness that guides us.
In particular it is interesting to note that the science of transmutation of the sexual energy as practiced by the Maya in their golden epoch, increases the bodies capacity to produce hormonal substances, including those of the pineal gland that open the doors of our internal perception and our vision of the astral and other dimensions bringing us closer to the light which is awakened consciousness.
The SACRED PLANTS such as Yaje/Ayahuasca also help this process of exploration and revelation and fortify the bodies capacity to produce the combination of hormonal substances that act as the bridge between the spiritual realms or the “ultra” and this physical world. For this reason the Indigenous Masters are making available the shamanic wisdom of the light for us children of the Mother Pachamama in order to prepare us for all that is to come as our civilization unfolds itself in all respects.
And what we have learnt and understood with the practice of Shamanism is that there is a CONSCIOUSNESS beyond this physical world, a consciousness that is intelligently directing this process for the good of humanity so that we can have ever greater opportunity to see our errors and correct ourselves, returning to Krishna consciousness, returning to the path of the ancient Maya, knowledge of self, wisdom of the soul, devotion to the ancient intelligence within all creation.

For that reason we say that its good to observe the events but striving not to identify with them but rather to comprehend what is happening.
