In the evolution of money, first comes barter, then goods like silver, gold and conch shells, then comes fiat currency, then cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin. What comes next? At each step of the way, people trade something which represents an idea – the idea of labour, or the idea of value provided. What if we could trade ideas themselves?

The Story:
For centuries, millenia, or perhaps since there was no time, people have been taking journeys out into the desert of Mexico to take the sacred medicine known as “peyote”.
If you’re willing to go out into the desert and take the adventure of a lifetime, as the sun starts to go down, you might start to see the shadows of spirits stretching out from the horizon – fallen Aztec warriors, and forgotten kings and queens still sitting on their thrones, perhaps not knowing their empires are now long gone. Who is waiting out there to meet you? Will you have the courage to say “Hello”?
In this episode we describe an adventure we took out into the desert of San Luis Potosí, to stretch the boundaries of our minds. We hope you’ll join us on a brain-bending journey on this episode of The Paradise Paradox!
Here’s a disclaimer: We’re not in any way recommending or endorsing any psychedelics, nor that you do anything illegal. Brains can be delicate things. If you’re going to do anything like this, have a look at this article from our friend Maverick about some tips on what to do and what not to do.

Over land, through tunnels and across deserts, Aaron, Kurt and a few amigos took the journey of a lifetime to the state of San Luis Potosí, to a campsite in the middle of the plains, surrounded by cacti, to take the sacred medicine, peyote. Here are a few notes about our story, with much more to come.

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.
