The Story:

Many millenia ago, certain people started to work with herbs and other plants, healing the bodies and souls of their tribespeople. Over time, they learnt how to use certain plants to form a connection with some deep part of their unconscious, tapping into wisdom of unknown origin, which would, slowly but surely, affect the fate of humanity. Some shamans claim they contact spirits, and by using psychedelic drugs, they can come into contact with the divine.

In this episode, Kurt had a chance to catch up with Luis Fernando Mises at Anarchapulco 2016 and discuss shamanism. We discussed the contrast between San Pedro/huachuma and ayahuasca – how huachuma is like a patient grandfather who is ready to work with you at your own pace, and how ayahuasca is like a stern granddmother; how huachuma gave Luis a master’s degree on economic policy, how the roles of shaman, consultant and gun-owner are more harmonious than it might seem at first, and how psychedelic medicine can have a domino or fractal effect through many lives.

The Story:

Madre Ayahuasca has friends in high places. One becomes informed of this as you begin to question your own free will. The decision is made and you think that you chose to take part in this Ayahuasca ceremony. However, it is common knowledge among experienced travellers, that Madre Ayahuasca chooses you. Diving deep, peeling back all layers, it delivers a massage to your core seed, the personal connection to this world is disconnected and shakes clear all the cobwebs from your reality. Once all is clear, rattled and well shaken, the reconstruction begins. Literally your mind and your perceptions are rebuilt before the reflection in your mind’s eye.

It’s safe to say that the medicine works in mysterious ways – the effect is felt days before the ceremony. This is well before anything is even digested. Obviously, this is one mother that does not respect clockwork, as if ‘father time’ had been escorted out of the room. The symptoms can be uncomfortable and you might feel not quite right. However, it’s what comes in the following weeks that cannot be explained. Things begin to change.

Madre Ayahuasca leaves you homework with various methods used for the teachings. Usually in the form of a mixed bag of feelings, old and distant memories and direct clear visions. For some psychonauts this is straightforward and almost like a well thought-out lesson plan, whereas, for others, it can be slippery dip of deep forgotten traumas – either way, there is nothing random here. The medicine knows you too well.

In this episode, we discuss the week after drinking the medicine and the experience of ayahuasca homework. Using the metaphor of a Rubik’s cube clicking into place, to explain the wonderful ways life influenced by your new insights. As always prepare to be connected to the dis-connected through another exciting episode of … The Paradise Paradox!

Por la vida!

The Story:

When you first mention ayahuasca to someone, it’s normal to hear them say “What is it? It’s just a drug, isn’t it?” The common refrain all through Latin America is, “It’s not a drug – it’s a medicine.” Of course, in the broad and literal sense of the word “drug”, ayahuasca is indeed a drug. But it can never be “just a drug”. Is the drug that saves your life “just a drug”? What about the drug which undoes your assumptions about living in this world, rewiring your brain to cast aside negative or destructive thought patterns – the drug that takes you from “surviving” to “living”. Ayahuasca cannot be called “just a drug” any more than a Michelangelo or an Alex Grey can be called “just a painting”. The only way “just” can possibly apply, is if you take it to mean “merciful”.

In this episode, we describe the process of going through an ayahuasca journey, what’s it’s like to prepare for the ceremony, to choose a clear purpose, to go to the house of a shaman, to respect the ritual nature, to learn about the tradition, to take the sacred medicine, to start the magical process of washing clean the dark mirror of the self, and to experience some unusual synchronicities.

Join us in our journey to meet Mother Ayahuasca, the all-loving, all-forgiving spirit of the Earth, on this mind-exposing episode of … The Paradise Paradox!

The Story:

Ayahuasca is a medicine that has been used by indigenous Amazonians for 5,000 or possibly even 10,000 years. But it’s not really the kind of thing you can get over the counter. Ayahuasca is seen as sacred, and must be given respect – a brew of pure life in a cup that has the power to show us things that we’d forgotten, memories that we had tried to bury, and hidden wounds that still need healing.

What lurks in the deepest recesses of our minds, our shadows, our occult sides, our basest secrets? Mother Ayahuasca knows, and she will never judge us for it.

Join us as we prepare for our first journey with the sacred medicine, preparing ourselves mentally and physically for a long trek through unknown lands. Join us, on The Paradise Paradox.
