Ayahuasca, Tobacco & Plant Teachers with Jeremy Narby

[@pandahead9274]

Nicotine, rapeh seems to be a multiplier of consciousnes. The effects and benefit is much greater if one does yoga, breathwork, or meditation before a ritual use of tobacco. It is similar to surfing a wave. You must get moving and gather momentum before a wave comes along in order to put to use any of that energy. The relationship you may build with the molecules/ spirit of the plant is eye opening when one does it with conscious intent.

Beautifully put.

[@castlekirk7646]

very interesting medicine for sure

[@RonJacksonToahani]

I just found these videos today and glad I did. As a Navajo we still use a lot of healing plants in our everyday lives as well for ceremonial purposes. When in peyote ceremony we use mountain tobacco as part of the peyote ceremony. It is used when first starting and is passed when the purpose of the ceremony is discussed. A pipe is passed from one person to the next in the circle of the tipi. Also when one patient can be blessed when the medicine man blows tobacco on him or her. I personally do not use commercial tobacco and am not hooked on cigarettes. Only in ceremony will I smoke tobacco.

Just had my first aya ceremony last saturday. Saw endless alchemical visions and puked out some pitch black dark past. Very wholesome experience.

Now the true work comes in. You must apply what you learned to your daily life! It works this way. You will never be the same person you were. Throwing up is common and its just a cleansing. :)

When I did it I saw menacing vines which followed me to the bathroom where I purged pitch black and the vines went with my puke down the toilet and my visions changed to flowers on a spring morning kinda thing.

Thank you all for such wonderful insights or introduction for others to experience amazing shamanism working with plant medicine. I was told by a Shamen that the combination of medicine and tobacco was like looking into life changing visions or blessed enough to have a personal healing and insights to your soul, nothing else can do this that’s why it is also respectfully know as a ‘Universal Spiritual Intelligence experience’ 🙏 The Shamans knowledge and respect is as important as the combination for it to be safe. God Bless all who have knowledge and respect for the most incredible medicine on this planet. 💕

Thank you for this very entertaining interview 🙏🏼 When we talk about tobacco, are we also talking about Rapé? Because I couldn't ... wouldn't wanna ... imagine my Aya-ceremony without Rapé!

[@dimepia123]

how is rapé taken? smoked like cig?

[@Patrick.639]

@@dimepia123 Rapé is being used used to enhance the cleansing process, make the release of blocked energy more effective as well as eliminate sickness. The powder mixture of Rapé (In the amount of app. one pea) is blown into an each individual nostril through thin bamboo pipe or hollow bone (so called Tepi). Traditionally it is being first blown into left nostril, this side - accordingly to beliefs of native people represents death. The right side represents resurrection and at no cost it should be omitted. The dosage can be adjusted depending on individual. For experienced users, there is also a way of self application of Rapé using a “V” shape pipe (connecting mouth with nostril), which by Indians is called “Kuripe”. A proper insufflation is an art. The energy of a person doing a ritual is also very important. Additionally native Indians call upon energies of animals that support the spirit of medicine. The base for every Rapé mixture is Tobacco. But it is not the same as being used in Western countries. This tobacco (so called Aztec’s or Farmer’s Tobacco) can be up to 20 times more potent than a commercial one. The other, traditionally very important ingredient of Rapé, is an ash from bark of Pau Pereira tree (platycyamus regnellii). The Rapé blends vary between added ingredients depending on what kind of ritual they would be used to. Those can be herbs, healing plants, seeds and bark of many species of Amazon trees. Each Rapé blend has different mechanism working on human body. Indians talk here about vibrations and energetic properties. Native inhabitants believe that you connect with powerful plant spirits through regular Rapé taking. Influence and how Rapé works? Rapé works mainly on spiritual level. It helps to unleash mentally instilled patterns of thinking, it frees energetic body from extraneous energies as well as opens and harmonises chakras (human body energy points). On heart level it releases Panema, which is bad luck that accordingly to Indians is responsible for blockages and lack of power or will. On physical level Rapé cleanses and detoxifies sinus. Toxins are dispersed together with mucus. Increasingly, Rapé is used to detoxify the pineal gland, but this action has not yet been scientifically proven. Summarising, Rapé has following effects: beep opening of all top chakras (third eye and crown chakra) better body grounding sickness release on physical, emotional and psychological level decalcification of the pineal gland and opening of the third eye (not yet scientifically proven!) removing tiring and stressful thoughts, enhances mental clarity release of energy blockages connecting with the breath of the Universe and the growth of spiritual vibrations

[@MartinRixeArt]

Nice video! I do agree with most what is said! I think people forget the jungle is tricky place to venture unprepared and as well following a spiritual tourism trend is never good for the self and the environment. Please do your research people, there is lots more subtile psychedelics out there you can do in the comfort of your home. Of course if you truly feel the calling deep in your heart to go to the jungle and experience it do it! but prepare well! a place to start I would say is Sacred valley and huachuma...

I live in the UK. Any idea how I can get hold of shamanic tobacco? Or, , perhaps it would be easier to buy a tobacco plant. Of so, what sort of tobacco plant would I be looking to get please? 💡🙏🥰

Nicotine...listed in the US as an herbicide, yet such a useful MAOi imho. Anything in moderation (and with full respect) i suppose. I find it to be most helpful to puff some pipe tobacco just prior to visiting Aya via vaping the spirit molecule

[@asherajja4206]

Are we talking about Tabacum or Rustica here which species?

[@sf1203]

Rustica

[@kalijuri]

i experienced aya with rape' at Rythmia. It is def a complimentary plant to the aya journey. glad I did it. i was unsure at first.

[@rogkeista1]

Jeremy doesn't mention drinking Mapacho, which is a very deep purgative. Participating in a Mapacho tea drinking ceremony prior to an Ayahuasca ceremony helps facilitate the process and cleans out both psychic and physical toxins. You can experience Aya without purging but it's unavoidable with Mapacho. As Jeremy says, it kicks your butt. And the purge is harsh and profound. I found that it also impacts dreams, unearthing buried emotional material in the psyche.

[@TheDeepening718]

Tobacco will teach you a lesson that's for sure.

[@abuharam]

"the shamanic world... Can include science..." - Mme Blavatsky arrived at the ideas fundamental to modern atomic physics via her own spiritual experiences, I read recently. Makes sense that, as the veil between the primitive and the modern in earth is burned away by technological encroachment, those yet practicing the old ways naturally grow to incorporate those externally-realized truths into their world model....

[@Andalaeknir86]

Blavatsky is not a good reference to spirituality appropriation and westernized variation of long traditional concepts changed into a psycho analysis mindset of self help and underlying racism and great influence of new age spirituality among other things are awful.

[@abuharam]

@@Andalaeknir86 idunno what to say, I certainly dont believe in her or her offshoots' racial dynasty science fiction, but I also dont believe those lines of inquiry they entertained originated in a spirit of spite, if a civilizational arrogance might all the same have definitely informed some of their conclusions on the modern 'racial descendents' of the Elohim and Atlantean and Lemurian peoples she imagined. She was a new yorker during the Abolition of Slavery, at least, and not a Texan. But I also see the Old Testament, for example, to demonstrate a gross pattern of materialistic tribalism, and an endemic state of cultural narcissism, across its pages-and yet I see value in some of the concepts the text puts forth. Perhaps you are right, and Blavatsky shouldnt be looked at by somebody who isnt already somewhat solid in their conclusions about spirit and racial equality (Im pretty certain the Book of the Subgenius was a direct response to Theosophy, and Ive been a follower of Bob Dobbs since way before i became interested in Blavatsky). But I do believe its valuable to understand what she thought, and where her spiritual aspirations lay-and partially because of what happened in the Nazi era. I mean in a way its almost like the Nazis were attempting to corrupt and desecrate everything good that anybody believed back in that day, which prior to Hitlers rise was an era blooming with Spiritual possibility. We should likely do well to keep in mind how a noble set of aspirations, in the hands of a human, can take completely different shape when it passes into the hands of others. We shouldnt forget about Hitlers obsession with the occult (nor, i maintain, should we forget about ol' Project Paperclip, and what that implies), and the fact that it evolved out of a cultural moment where many people thought they were attaining forms of spiritual enlightenment. Theres no end to the degree of obscenity achieved by the Nazis... I gotta say, though, Blavatsky has a charming voice as a writer, and her story of migration from Russia all the way to the USA is an amazing chronicle of an iconoclastic self-determined feminist. I mean, this gal was a bad mufukka. And she really is responsible in a major way for the cultural preparation that made the East-West synthesis of the 60s possible-I mean, if not for Isis Unveiled, would we have seen Richard Alpert chrysalize into Ram Dass? I'm not saying 'no', definitely, but I think its disrespectful of history to just arbitrarily bury awareness of such a definitive life and career, when her perceived offenses really only put her on equal ground with most if the misguided thinking that informed her day, anyways for Imperialist Caucasians making their way on Native American soil...

[@Andalaeknir86]

@@abuharam Blavatsky connected physical race with spiritual attributes constantly throughout her work, she also suggested that the Semitic people had become "degenerate in spirituality". She asserted that some peoples descended from the Lemurians are "semi-animal creatures". These include "the Tasmanians, a portion of the Australian aborigines." And there were more. All these forenamed groups, and other's i had not named.. were mentioned by Blavatsky... And these things were believed by traditional Theosophists.. I will provide from the secret doctrine by Blavatsky. "The intellectual difference between the Aryan and other civilized nations and such savages as the South Sea Islanders, is inexplicable on any other grounds. No amount of culture, nor generations of training amid civilization, could raise such human specimens as the Bushmen, the Veddhas of Ceylon, and some African tribes, to the same intellectual level as the Aryans, the Semites, and the Turanians so called. The 'sacred spark' is missing in them and it is they who are the only inferior races on the globe, now happily - owing to the wise adjustment of nature which ever works in that direction - fast dying out. Verily mankind is 'of one blood,' but not of the same essence. We are the hot-house, artificially quickened plants in nature, having in us a spark, which in them is latent."... Esoteric history teaches that idols and their worship died out with the Fourth Race, until the survivors of the hybrid races of the latter (Chinamen, African Negroes, &c.) gradually brought the worship back. The Vedas countenance no idols; all the modern Hindu writings do." If we are to speak about cultural appropriation as well taling from other traditions and saw their versions as more superior. For example the chakra system of rainbow and tied to body unlike hindu sanskrit and traditions. Simplifying yoga into what it is today in west and beo tantra and new age and western occultism is all mixed in thos perspective. With the modern sustem of chakras and yoga it was designed to be understood by western minds compared the original systems that goes back before the theosophical society with its white supremacy beliefs. There is no “balancing” of chakras in Hindu Yoga. Traditionally, systems work at transforming (or purifying) and awakening them, not through energy healing via gems, lights, angels etc, but by descent of the grace or soma in some systems and ascent of the Kundalini force, in others. ​also there are strict rules to be yogic anand to do yoga in tradition. the Theosophical Society saw itself as far superior to the 1000 year old wisdom of Indian sages and needed to instill unseen energy into something they could see and touch. Blavatsky decided she liked the system of 7 chakras, because it matched her ideas of the endocrine system. Though there are many systems of chakras, but the 7 chakra rainbow system has become the one that is most widely known today. In modern setting of westernized spirituality you can see upon researching how much influence theosophical society and the occult parts and systems are in modern meditation, yoga and so forth. If you want to understand the shamanic you need to understand and incorporate shamanism, and those traditions that got shamanism are often animistic these things were considered primitive and often older anthropology had a lot of racist ideology and racial superiority beliefs.. By the way are you from middle eastern roots? I thought regarding your name and you seem interested in the mysticism

[@abuharam]

@@Andalaeknir86 like I said, theres all sorts that is not right, and I havent even read the secret doctrine, only a little of her journal Lucifer, honestly. Thats definitely grossly offensive language - i still say, the overall influence of her moment on the Western mindset was a positive one- and yeah I dont think indigenois shamanic experiences were really accurately perceived in the minds of the narcissistic developing world until like Jung, right? I havent read enough of him either ,to know for sure. That said, Ive spent much more time personally developing and exploring my own quasi-shamanistic possibilities, from lsd shrooms and dmt at home and in the woods and at Phish shows and preferably while Dancing sacred characters into the minds of people around me. My original reference of the Madame was only to relate what Id heard about her, which was that she theorized about atomic particles, crediting spiritual experiences for it, in ways that eventually proved true or inspired the work of physicists who eventually got it right! Which is empirically interesting to me, as I often pontificate on all sorts of micro/macro-physical phenomena all the time, and fantasize i might have the right of at least some of it! My instinct when I hear someone say 'so and so is bad' lol is to go deeper into the matter, to make sure. My fathers roots were Spartan, apparently (grandpa always said so, but a swab by mormons proved him right, recently), moms was Scots/Welsh. Abu Haram was a nickname i gave myself during my activism in Israel / Palestine, when one of my muslim hosts commented on the libidinous manner i was exploring with women, at the time-- Abu Haram is not what a Muslim would consider a flattering name, lol- 'haram' meaning roughly 'sin' or 'against god', so far as Im aware. So I say it means 'Son of Sin', which I damned well am... Thanks for the dialogue, Im always interested in learning and endeavor to remain open to having my mind changed...
