Embrace the Serpent
    #23385732 - 06/26/16 09:18 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Just saw the Colombian movie Embrace the Serpent and thought it was appropriate to suggest it here due to its philosophical ideas relating to shamanism. It is based on the journals of one of the fathers of ethnobotany. It is a quest for for self healing with Ayahuasca (caapi). It is not the typical white man/wise shaman deal. This shaman has deep personal issues concerning racial and cultural prejudice. He is very flawed, but wise in many ways. So, also is the white man involved. It explores the ideas of accepting and letting go of your definitions of self in order to seek happiness and freedom. I gathered that the serpent to embrace is yourself. Both men in the movie are on the same personal journey from different angles. Fans of shamanism or Carlos Castaneda will find it very familiar, but a fresh take. Just a quick plug for a very cool movie worth discussion.

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

He is not ego free at all...but totally self absorbed...he just looks the part.

Where do you put aya on your personal entheogen scale? Let's say it was your last night on earth, which would you choose and why?

I only did it once at a moderate dosage. Not sure I could handle a full-blown journey. Definitely a very different vibe for me from the all the others.

I made it for a time 20 years back...just takes patience...and really stinks the house up...wife hated it (the smell). My first dose was calculated to be about double the normal "rain forest" dose based on surveys compiled by Jonothan Ott. After that I went higher in dose about 5 more times. I found it similar to shrooms, but with hardcore auditory hallucinations which conveyed meaning. Shamans say you are telepathic with nature...it has that feel...very spooked out strange, but very cool. In sheer intensity it tops the list...the vomiting and the diarrhea actually contribute in a positive way. It is not the easiest to deal with...not comfortable like peyote.
