From Ayahuasca To YouTube

From Ayahuasca To YouTube Channel

First off, if you read my first ayahuasca post here, you’ll know I am a sober addict and alcoholic. So for 16 years I didn’t take any mind altering substance into my system. I never had any intention to. Ayahuasca is a calling, I heard the call. This may resonate with you, or sound like bollox, if you think the latter you’re probably better off not reading the rest of this short article, but you’ll miss out on the fascinating YouTube news (not really). Drinking ayahuasca is not something I did lightly or recommend to others. To fully understand why you’re better off to read my earlier article on this subject here, so I won’t repeat myself.

On Meditation

On Meditation

As my meditation course is launching soon (now launched) I thought I’d write a brief post about the subject. Anything I don’t answer for you please feel free to send an email or put a question in the comments below.

I’ve been a regular user of meditation for about 23yrs and noticed from time to time as the perception and trend of meditation has changed. I have my own practices that just find me and I carry on with my own work. For a fuller picture of my own practices, experience and the course I recommend listening to the audio below.

Homemade Fluoride-Free Toothpaste

homemade Fluoride Free toothpaste

I quit using toothpaste containing fluoride about 9 years ago but just continued buying expensive herbal fluoride-free toothpaste for the following years. I was just too lazy to have a go at making my own. About six months ago I finally tried, and its dead simple, takes very little time and works out far less expensive than the health store stuff.

Why Make It Yourself?
  • Coconut oil is antiseptic, kills bacteria in the mouth.
  • Bicarbonate of soda is also antiseptic and can be used to stop bleeding gums.
  • You know exactly what ingredients are in your toothpaste.
  • Best of all, no fluoride.

Turn Off The News – Seek Wisdom Not Knowledge

Turn off the news – Seek Wisdom not knowledge

I see “news”, current affairs and politics as a distraction from our own inner guidance, I simply call it my gut instinct. Being led to conclusions rather than arriving at them in our own time by our own paths.

When I jump onto a “news” story, I sometimes lose myself. I follow the trail of reports, the outrage, the confusion, grief, anger, becoming exhausted, worn out, used, spat out by the media machine. Thankfully this occurs less and less these days as I gradually step back. All news sources have some sort of agenda, they’re not doing us a favour by reporting to us, they are directing our awareness, our emotions, our energy, even the people we like and agree with.

Knowledge comes from learning, wisdom comes from letting go of what we think we know. – Gerar Toye

Ayahuasca Update

Ayahuasca Update

A few months back I wrote in detail of my first journey drinking Ayahusca, you can read the previous articles here. Since then I returned to drink the medicine three more times, once per month. This is a brief overview of those later ceremonies and some observations of what has happened since.

My first experience was quite traumatic, but I always knew, even during that continuous terrifying purging, that I would be back. I knew in my gut that it was no coincidence I had sought out that type of work, and there was further work for me to do, where it would lead I didn’t know, I still don’t. I’ll continue where I left off, so if you have not read the previous articles I recommend doing so to have a fuller understanding.

I had a strong sense this night had all been planned perhaps three to five thousand years ago.

Do You Wish Others Would Wake Up?

Do You Wish Others Would Wake-Up?

Awakening is a term used more and more these days to indicate that many people in society are beginning to view the world differently, and, we like to think, live from a higher state of consciousness. I used it recently in my article observing the various sides of the flat earth movement, you can read the article here: The Great Awakening – Flat Earth.

Information that previously we may never have even been aware of, or perhaps not have considered relevant to us suddenly has an attraction. I’ve seen many people who previously never had any interest in meditation, or yoga, or anything that may broaden their mind to alternative ways of living or perceiving the world, in recent years they’ve began to explore various alternative medicines, healing therapies and begin to read the alternative media, switching off the television. They start to feel the struggle in the world, or more accurately to notice the struggle within themselves, to let go of their old persona, to evolve beyond career and relationships.

What we think we know at any given moment is just part of the unfolding. Continue reading

Karma

KARMA

This is a follow on from my last post on Predestined Life and the Illusion of Time you can find in this link.

My own understanding of karma has evolved over the years, from some form of repercussion due to destructive behaviour, or a reward when it is constructive behaviour. The reason for a repercussion is not to punish, this is just a feedback mechanism. I no longer view karma as being as limited as this. I see it being tied into evolution in a great way. Thus the name of this site, my interest in evolution through many lifetimes really interests me. This is a long haul, amassing trauma through many births and deaths alone is heavy, but consider the unresolved natural disasters around us within these lives, the murders, crimes, despair and so on. The accumulative affect of these trying experiences can weigh heavy on us, when not resolved. So how I can try to curtail further trauma and suffering I often contemplate.

We are the car on the road…and the bird that shits on the windscreen.

Predestined Life And The Illusion Of Time

predestined life and the illusion of time

Recently I have been contemplating the theory that our lives and decisions are predetermined. The idea that something, consciousness is steering my life. I don’t mean “I am being guided”. I mean choices are being presented in every moment, who or what is presenting these choices? Gary Weber, in a number of his talks discusses predestination in more detail, but points out in some tests the brain responds to a problem, before the problem is presented. This might explain how we “just knew…” someone was going to phone, or had that feeling, or intuition. It suggests that our brains are already milliseconds or seconds behind what is continuously unfolding in consciousness.

You can will what you want, you can’t will what you will. – Gary Weber

Ayahuasca Part 2 – Why I Drank The Vine Of Death

Ayahuasca Part 2 – Why I Drank The Vine Of Death

This is Part 2 of a 3 part series on my first ayahuasca experience. Part 1 available here which covers what ayahuasca is, its effects and my knowledge of the ceremony before I first drank it.

Part 3 you can find here. There will also be audio files further describing the journey coming soon.

I would say I’ve felt driven to be free for all of my life. At times a burning desire to understand life and to experience the expansion of mind beyond this physical reality. Despite much contemplation, around twenty four years of meditation, ten of which I practised twice daily, never missing a meditation, I’ve meditated on trains, planes, in toilet cubicles, any quiet space I could find to keep to my daily discipline. I’ve practised all manner of techniques on releasing stress and furthering my spiritual evolution: EFT, Ho’oponopono, Native American Sweat lodges, Floatation Tanks, Energy Healing, different forms of yoga, many forms of meditation, spiritual retreats in different parts of the world, taken courses on philosophy, Gnosticism, astral travel, among others, received many sessions of massage, Craniosacral Therapy, acupuncture… and on and on it goes. All have been helpful to some degree, they got me over a hump perhaps to continue on in search of deeper fulfilment and a number I continue to practise regularly to this day. I’ve always asked questions, got easily frustrated with life and bored with the day to day as I see it. I was bored with life long before I hit my teens. Never sure if I was just doing it wrong, or on a different path in search of a different experience than what we are bombarded with in today’s society. I’ve found it much harder to trust my own voice and direction, something that is changing with age, than to find the path that is best suited to me.

I began to explore the possibilities of multiple realities coexisting simultaneously.

Ayahuasca Part 1 – Introduction

Ayahuasca Part 1 – Introduction

This is Part 1 of a 3 part series on my first ayahuasca experience. Part 2, in this link, covers my own personal journey to arrive at this point and Part 3 covers my hellish experience.

Ayahuasca is a vine found in the Amazon jungle known to have healing powers and has been used by native peoples for thousands of years to heal the mental, physical and spiritual. I have heard it referred to as the Vine Of Death or the Vine Of The Souls, I’ve also heard it called Snake Medicine, the point being a snake sheds its skin. In the Amazon jungle ayahuasca is not considered a drug. The shaman consider it medicine and either refer to it as Mother Ayahuasca or simply as the medicine. It has been described as being of the hallucinogenic family such as magic mushrooms or LSD/Acid although some shaman prefer to not compare these. People are normally asked have they previously tried acid and how were their experiences. I had tried acid, and had very paranoid dark trips. Of the selection of drugs I’ve used in my life (before getting sober, covered in Part 2), acid was the least enjoyable, so I made a decision to stay away from it.

I will take you to hell, but I will bring you back to the light.
