Hi folks, here are a few links that may be of interest...

1) www.plumedserpent.org/audio : : : An audio blog in MP3 format taken over a three month period in Ecuador while on a plant diet and apprenticeship with a Kichwa ayahuascero. Also, the root of the site, www.plumedserpent.org may also be of interest for spiritual subject matter, though there is nothing ayahuasca-specific in the main site.

2) www.bookofremembering.com : : : A book about integrating lessons taught by ayahuasca, such as death and rebirth, into daily life. Book summary by B.M.B. : : : I had been studying with the sacred medicinal plant ayahuasca for a few years when during one ceremony I had an experience that changed my life. Though I had lived many visions previous to this point, and was cautious to believe things too quickly or literally (were the visions from the plant, Divinity, or my own ego?)... the nature of this vision was different. With my consciousness, I entered a self-less, formless state, merged with the awareness of Creator... and began to see and travel through time. After this I began to time-travel quite frequently – in ceremonies, dreams, and seemingly daily life. There were answers that I sought, but only more questions that I received. So much that I experienced was beyond the brain's hardwiring capabilities. Reality began to ooze, and the foundation I was standing on became quicksand.

Coinciding with this time was a peaking of spiritual battle that I had been engaged in for almost 20 years... since I began seeing shadow entities, or demons as commonly referred to. I held the view that as energetic parasites, they had been feeding on my mind-energy body, or aura, for many years. I could sense that after tremendous personal work, the permissions I had given them were being removed, and that I would soon be liberated. But rather than having their hold weakened, they seemed stronger. As my reality crumbled and my sensitivities increased, I found myself agitated by them continually.

I was driven on multiple fronts: discovering the mysteries, fighting shadow entities, learning of interdimensional extraterrestrial light beings (angels), and healing myself... until one day, the whole world coalesqued within me... and I did something on par of the most foolish deeds ever performed. I fought darkness with darkness. I wonder, if one wanted to kill the Devil... should they really use his very own sword? The reprocussions were immediate and severe. Thinking about it gives me the chills, even now.

Following a 10 day period of not sleeping, lest I bleed in a dream and awaken to find blood on myself... I was neurotic. I was broken. I had hit 'rock bottom' and then dug six feet further. And then a miracle happened: darkness gave way to light. I found forgiveness within myself. After that... everything changed.

3) www.keepersofwisdom.org : : : A non-profit in formation: The Amazon Rainforest is a region that functions as the 'lungs' of the earth, and its well-being is vital to all of us. One of the most effective ways to preserve the Rainforest to to help protect indigenous cultures who have served as stewards and protectors of the forests for thousands of years. Much of the healthiest forest today can be found with native occupants living within, as unoccupied land is vulnerable to corporate purchase and resource extraction. Protecting the Amazon and its original inhabitants is one-in-the-same. Currently there is a small project towards the bottom of the home page which is geared towards protecting indigenous knowledge by forming a medicinal preservation garden and plant college to document much of the fading knowledge of Ecuador. Feedback requested on this one (feel free to use the contact form on the site).

Blessings.
