Ayahuasca Visions of Pablo Amaringo

Product Information

A passage from a book by David Graeber I had been reading came to my mind as central: “fill out ‘their’ forms from time-to-time but mostly just ignore ‘them’ and do your own thing, disobey wherever you can. A master communicator of the ayahuasca experience--where snakes, jaguars, subterranean beings, celestial palaces, aliens, and spacecraft all converge--Amaringo’s art presents a doorway to the transcendent worlds of ayahuasca intended for contemplation, meditation, and inspiration. What we can change is our potential to respond to them without fear of being judged in value based on their metrics of living a good life.

I watched in agony as the 40 people all around me disintegrated, first into thousands of muted Lite-Brite pixels that flickered with the beeping malevolence of the flashing red lights that quicken right before a bomb explodes. This is our subconscious’ way of telling that the eye sees through one’s spirit, and the power of intense judgment is by giving someone the eye. However, what I will refer to as a “spatial eternity” was connected to an overwhelming “presence of Love”. This state was perceived as a “gift” and an opening on to a horizon with a feminine presence that “said” something like: “Here, I know you have been waiting; I know you wanted mystery; I know you wanted to see the divine for yourself, so here it is. In this state “the I” does not appear as if it is linked to the material causal chain of necessity but “outside” of it looking down on “the chain of your being” as a free spirit.Should I need data to back up the actual experience, I knew it was there to keep me from getting paranoid about the nature of the experience. These visions can bring out the artistic side in many and can also be representative of transitioning from a life of monotony and dullness to one of beauty and happiness. I recognized while in this state how crucial the music and social energy of the circle contributed to a type of “coherent platform” that enabled me to stabilize such a pure state of transcendental self-relating. I saw the eye of providence and an image of a pyramid, both of which were dancing in translucent colors. The experience was like going inside a room, only to find out that once I enter the doorway, I was led back into the thought of just about to turn the knob.

With contributions by Graham Hancock, Jeremy Narby, Robert Venosa, Dennis McKenna, Stephan Beyer, and Jan Kounen, this book brings the ayahuasca experience to life as we travel on Amaringo s visionary brush and palette.Ayahuasca – meaning 'spirit vine' in Native South American Quechua languages – is a foul-tasting hallucinogenic brew that has been used for centuries by rain forest shamans as a religious sacrament. Towards the end of this contemplation of pathways I felt larger than not only the universe but the totality of all universes (a virtual multiverse in all its “modes of potentiality”).

The ayahuasca brew is made from the jungle vine Banisteriopsis caapi, which contains several beta-carboline compounds, and Psychotria viridis, a shrub containing the psychotropic dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which acts on specific subtypes of serotonin receptors.As I walked and explored the maze-like pathways of this city I found myself reflecting on the nature of belief. The ceremony allowed me to speak with my subconscious, opening all the desires I’ve ever wanted to see. I understand I can change my preference through my account settings or unsubscribe directly from any marketing communications at any time. As I opened my eyes to observe the social action around me I became mesmerized by the symmetry of motion. I had a very hard time letting go of a part of myself that it took me a long time to transcend to a higher Being.
