Watching this as we speak. The first ten minutes are *extremely* funny. Then, it becomes much less humorous. A critique of the current ayahuasca craze, from a guy who took the drug himself and saw some serious shit...
UPDATE: He becomes more serious later in the presentation. Quite good, actually!
I believe it was David Icke who caused a reviva of the Ayahusca-craze in the west. Ayahusca made him realize that "All is love, everythig else is illution". Yeah, right´ whatever...
ReplyDeleteOh no, not that guy. My take is that you have to be pretty hard boiled to take ayahuasca. Mike Cernovich apparently took it, but he *is* more weird these days than he used to be, to take just one example. Graham Hancock took it and seems to have survived unscathed! I didn´t know *he* was such a hard hitter.
ReplyDeleteI dont like him either these days but i still have a soft spot for him from his early career as a... I dont really know what but after his sport and TV-career ended.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried any stuff like Ayhusca? A review on the blog might be intresting
ReplyDeleteHeh heh, no, I´m just offering an outsider opinion.
ReplyDeleteIn my youth i made the misstake of smoking spice(filthy crap, stay away) at Hultsfredsfestivalen. Gave me an experience like David Ickes but in a very opposite way. "Only fear is real, all else is illusion" would describe my state for a whole day. Refused to leave my tent for a whole day and night. The next day my friend had talked to a medic who came to my tent to examine me. By then i was out of that terrible state. The medic told me to go and piss at the nearest tree imididiatley. Apparently my bladder was close to bursting. In my fear state of course i didnt dare go to the toilet.
ReplyDeleteThe whole trip felt like extreme danger that could only be avoided by entering a state of suspended animation.That filthy spice made me miss half the festival.
It was extremly boring. Not even any halucinatory demons or so that attacked me, evrything was normal exept this feeling of extreme danger and the "knowledge" that i had to move and breathe as little as possible or terrible stuff beyond my imagination would happen.
