Cómo pronunciar «chacrona» en inglés

Hey Jung Ox, ox, ox. No, no The street stops you, brother. The street finished you. Bad The idea was always to tell the story of Ayahuasca, from its origin in the Amazon rainforest to arriving in a big city like São Paulo. But then the decision came. Why not experience a real healing? They say that when you drink the tea, you need to have a goal in mind. Among so many things I need to heal, I chose one: my relationship with my father. A relationship that has always been very difficult and that I haven't had the courage to face yet. It’s not easy for a person like you to make a documentary like this, is it? You have to feel it, you have to live your own spiritual process too, your healing, right? You have to learn from what you do, because otherwise the whole thing makes no sense. You can never speak of a healing if you have never healed. You would never say: "Oh, you went through this, and you didn't." Especially because you didn't come here to make a documentary about yourself, you’re going to talk about the medicine, you came to talk about the most sacred thing, it’s your responsibility, right? To bring what people will also see and feel too, right? So what are you doing, then? It is to truly bring this reality. But for you to bring this reality, you have to live a little of this reality, because nothing here is staged, this is life. Everything you are experiencing here, I am not staging anything. It is the life of my people, it is the daily life, right, of what we live here. Hmm. Sta Parai. This partnership of mine with Putaninha was more than a marriage. By the way, my marriage to Putaninha was I think one of the most difficult for the chiefs, because I come from one, my marriage is promised. Putanin is not my promised wife. And that’s when another taste of this civilization came in, which was the wanting, the liking, the choice to be a husband and to be a wife. And we chose each other to be the two of us. We are of the magic breath, we are of the song. That is also how our marriages are. We don't have many material objects to symbolize marriage, especially the paper, right, that has to be signed. Your father's greatest regret is that he walked into the church alone, at the time he wanted his mother to be with him, my father-in-law held her back until the last minute saying he would bring her to our wedding and didn't bring her because I was pregnant, you know? So your father, he practically walked into the church crying, you know? Missing his mother by his side. Your mother and I almost separated countless times. Your upbringing was a period where, while you were at home, it was very bad. I am sure of that and I blame myself for it. I believe you would have had an infinitely better situation if our life at home had been normal. I am a female leader. I am a leader stemming from my mother. I honor this with a lot, with a lot of love. The arrival of the plant represents this for me, it adds to this moment. I always compare spirituality among my people to a very sacred temple. So it’s like a spiritual rebirth. Like, having the privilege to say: "Gosh, now if I were born again, I wouldn't want this anymore for myself." I’m going to remove this, this, and this. I wanted to be this person. Actually, to be the first female shaman in our history. When we say shaman, it's the one who prays with spiritual guides. It’s of the, it’s of the magical. I never heard of a woman having this role of shaman, you know, really of spiritual leadership. So, in the year 2005, my sister and I received the call, right, from the spiritual to be able to challenge entering this temple. And until then, it was only done by men, because no woman had ever challenged spirituality, challenged our tradition to say I want to. So much so that since time immemorial, we don't know of any in our civilization where a woman was a spiritual leader, where a woman participated in an ayahuasca ceremony in healing work, never. And it was very difficult because we were breaking a tradition within our tradition. What is it that you want to do? This is not for women, this is for men, it cannot be accepted, right? It was questioned by many people, right? Many said: "No, but we can't, we can't break our tradition. " Because it was a rule, right? It was like something someone already wrote that it has to be this way and we can only follow it this way because we cannot break that. When we start the preparation, going to make a ritual, we prepare ourselves for two days, three days, a week, right? If you are married, you do not sleep with your wife, right? If you, right, really want to make something, a drink, right, for When people take it to feel well, you know, you can't eat sweets until you've performed that little ritual you have to do, because that's where you put your intentions, right? You put in your dedication. The word "ayahuasca," it refers to a vine. It is a Quechua word commonly translated as "vine of the soul" or "vine of the dead." And Ayahuasca is used by about 70 Amazonian peoples, speaking at least 20 different languages. And Ayahuasca, the plant itself, is generally boiled and turned into a drink that bears the same name, right? So ayahuasca is a word that refers to both the vine and the drink itself, the so-called tea. We make a request to it, you know? We speak in our thoughts, in our hearts, look, I am, I planted you, right? You grew, I planted you, and now I am cutting you. I will have you taken so I can find my purpose, right? Seek peace through you, because you are a great spirit. To make ayahuasca, you need to boil two plants in water for a long time, right? A vine, whose scientific name is Banisteriopsis caapi, and a shrub called chacruna, right? Psychotria viridis, the scientific name is chacruna or rainha, right? They say if you take out this type of leaf, the visions, they fail, right? They don't quite fit together. The visions that Ayahuasca causes basically happen with your eyes closed. This has a name in Brazilian traditions, right, the Ayahuasca religious traditions, and the name is "miracão". A lot is said, and when you hear news reports, for example, they say: "The tea is hallucinogenic." I don't really like this term when we are talking about Ayahuasca, because first of all, the term hallucinogenic is already quite inadequate, even when applied to substances that have a more obviously visual effect with eyes open, right? Why am I saying this? Because when you are talking about a hallucination, you are talking about something that is seen with eyes open, right? Even hallucinogens don't cause hallucinations; they cause visual distortions. Ayahuasca also has a character that is strongly reinforced in some indigenous traditions, and heavily reinforced in Brazilian religious traditions, of bringing perceptions about the behavior of the person who took it, about themselves, right? from a perspective as if the person could be looking at the things they're doing with a certain ease of realizing things they're doing that aren't cool and that maybe they should change in their own life. It's not in the namesake. First, a very interesting thing is that if you make the tea separately from the two plants, they won't have the same effect. The tea made from the Psychotria, from the chacrona rainha, has no effect at all. And the tea made from the vine seems to have a certain sedative effect, a certain drowsiness, some physical effects, but they don't bring the expansion of consciousness and the psychedelic effect that only happens when they are combined. I'm going with cania. Tarê, tarde, tarond. Here I am beating and visualizing, visualizing, talking here with the medicine. Look, I'm doing this with you so that we can take you and feel good. It gives us more openness, right, to our thoughts, right, to our work. right? So we always look at it like this it's without haste, strength carries the work. So DMT is dimethyltryptamine, right? A quite simple molecule, very similar to a neurotransmitter we have in our body, which is called serotonin. And DMT is present in the metabolism of hundreds of plants, including the Psychotria viridis or Rainha, which is used in Ayahuasca. DMT is so simple that if we drink a tea or eat leaves that contain DMT, we don't feel any effect, because we digest the DMT before it enters the blood; it is no longer DMT, it has been digested in the stomach and intestine as well as in the liver. This is done by an enzyme which is monoamine oxidase, right? And the Ayahuasca vine inhibits this enzyme. So it inhibits the body's ability to digest the DMT. That is why when you combine the plant that contains DMT with the vine, the effects of DMT will appear in the person's brain and mind, because it manages to pass through digestion. I think that's an interesting thing. This one piece will make 52 layers. Watch on mobile devices or the big screen all for free. No subscription. When we are out there in São Paulo, when we are in another place in Brazil, I'm going to an indigenous tribe. I don't even say peoples, I'm going to an indigenous tribe. You don't know what it's going to be like there, right? If nobody else, I know that. I've already been in school, I've already been in public schools studying before. I’ve seen how they have it, how people there study, how they see the Brazilian Indian. I never opened my heart to say who I am and what I think. And I chose on this path to follow the same path as my ancestors, of my predecessors, of my grandparents, of medicines, of healing. 2, 700 different cataloged species, waiting with open arms. When will Brazil recognize us? When will humanity know us, recognize us as a nation, as a capable people. to bring together other sciences. When we are treated as Indians, as incompetent, as a forest-origin people without feelings, and our scientific knowledge that could help humanity, we will remain in silence. The first time I also took the medicine, my father, right, asked Tatá, right, to prepare the medicine. the preparation of the medicine and at night, right, in a very large hut, my father sitting there in a little hammock swinging, right, I thought, gee, what is going to happen? Then when I saw that big cup, I swallowed it. The moment I swallowed it, right, at the same time the thought said: surrender. I took it all. As I was taking it, I already started feeling chills, you know? Going down like that, wow, something is going to happen. And always think less, surrender. When 5 minutes passed, I felt, I already started to feel a reaction in my body. What is happening? The first thing, the impulse came to my heart. Then it said yes, look up, look at me. Who is talking to me? Then look up, look here at me. I looked. Wow, I saw the moon very low, right? beautiful. When I looked at the moon, it gave me a feeling to tell her, look Moon, you are so beautiful. I wanted to be your daughter, I wanted to know you. I wanted to be like you, you know, bright, like you, your light, you know, radiates the world. I wanted to be, I wanted to shine. You shine so much, but I look at myself, I don't even know who I am. Look, I look at myself, I see a void. I wanted to be able to know myself. I wanted to know who I am. I wanted to know where I came from, right? How did I come, why am I here? What am I doing? Many define it as a year's worth of therapy in an afternoon, in a single night, because the person comes into contact with so much psychological material repressed since early childhood, right? It comes with such great emotional force, with such impactful images, with complex symbols, right? It’s not always as clear and rational as it would be in verbal psychotherapy, is it? It can be quite a shock for the person. And at that moment, support and context are fundamental. Wow. When we talk about psychoactive effects, and evidently Ayahuasca is psychoactive. Ah, a question that immediately arises is, is it a drug? We are talking about drugs, and I think the first way for us to answer that question is to think about what we mean by the word drug. If "drug " means a substance that causes a change in the body, then it is a drug. Like any drug, like alcohol, like Novalgina, like penicillin, in short, any substance will cause a change in the body, right? So, from a pharmacological point of view, from a medical point of view, right? It induces changes, so it has a component in that sense that we can call a drug, but in that case, we are talking much more about the "drug" from the drugstore than the "drug" from the street corner or the drug den. When my children were younger, I always told them one thing: "You can do anything, but do not use drugs." On that fateful day when we found out, we didn't have, we couldn't form an idea of why he fell like that, took this path of using cocaine, and then he promptly said goodbye and left. And I practically was left without knowing what the need would be, what the origin of using that would be. That night he said to his father, he said: "I tried many times to get closer to you, I always wanted to talk to you. Then it all, it all goes down the drain. Jen, he isn't one to talk to his children, to reach out, you know? To say, 'So, how are things going there?' J was always very quiet. He didn't even ask about his profession. Go. Heavens. Creator. The topic of consciousness is a subject that requires a lot of humility. Consciousness is perhaps the most difficult scientific question of all. Because consciousness is the subjective aspect, it is our experience of the world, it is my sensation of seeing the blue of the sea. And science has been successful by looking outward, by eliminating the subjective and objectively studying the physical phenomena that make up matter and energy. And you forgive them the innocent. Santo Daime, it is a religious syncretism, isn't it? Eh, which is the basis of Brazilian culture, which is the Black, isn't it? The Indigenous, isn't it? and the and the white man and the colonizer. Santo Daime, it will incorporate, right, the African culture, and we can see this in the Indigenous, right, the Barum entities, traces of the Indigenous community, right, the maracá itself, the dance, and also the the Christian part, the white man's culture, right, the, but Christianity, pure Christianity. So, and this syncretism is very important because it is the authentic cultural manifestation of our country. Most of the the the interviewers, they don't want to hear what you have to say. They want you to answer what they feel like researching and not that in a broad way. They go in already a bit closed off to things. So the people who went looking wanted to know about the high, their thing was the high. And sometimes they would catch a brother there, so, I don't know what, in a moment like that to show, look how weird it looks there, isn't that true? Completely decontextualized, isn't it? There's no interest. Now, who were the interviewers? Have you seen any interview that set out to do the following? Let's see who is being healed, how they are being healed, who where are the cures? So, no one ever came to do an interview with us like that. But we would like people to know about those who were healed. People come wanting to know what the high is. People want to know why you have to drink a tea to be able to connect with the divine. And what is happening in people's lives. Master Irineu, he comes from the Northeast, right, along with the northeasterners who went to tap rubber, right, with the promise of a new Eldorado. And there on the border, between Acre, right, of Peru and Bolivia, he meets the Ayahuasca tea, right? He meets it with the Indigenous people and there were also two friends who also already knew it, who were André Costa and Antônio Costa. And when he drank the beverage, he saw a cross in the sky, right? And on the cross there was a lady, right? Sitting on the moon, right? Our Lady of the Conception. And from this this wonderment, right, he begins to receive the teachings of this lady, right? And she would say:" Look, you are now going to sing, right, you are going to sing the teachings. "So he went through this whole initiation process, right, as a pajé, as a shaman. He remained isolated in the forest without, well, without seeing women, right? Sexual abstinence, alcohol abstinence, a strict diet. So, the Master, he begins to receive his spiritual teachings in the forest. And when he returns to Rio Branco, around the 1950s, he forms a small group there, right? Because he receives from Our Lady of the Conception the drink named Daime, to give to anyone who asks, right? Give me strength, give me light, give me peace, give what the person needs. It's the verb" to give, "right? So, with the name Daime, he returns to Rio Branco and forms a center there, right? A Daime center. It was a small center, initially just for Black people. And that center started receiving people, healing people. And as time went by, that small group began to expand and receive people from all social levels, right? Politicians, including those from Acre, would go to Master Irineu, because whoever the Master supported, that person would win the election. Master Irineu, they said he never left his chair, he would just stay there, and with just his thoughts, he would help and calm the person down, right? A Black man two meters tall, wearing size 12 shoes, right? Possibly coming from those tribes, you know, of tall Black men, giants. So he brings this African culture. Making ayahuasca takes time and dedication, right? And within the context of Brazilian forest religions, these are very noble moments. Many scholars already spoke of the expansion of what they call" green churches, " right? And we can see that besides Santo Daime, there is also União do Vegetal, Barquinha, and other institutions that use ayahuasca as a sacrament in their spiritual work. Not just anyone can prepare a drink like this. There's a whole ritual, a harvest, there's the right moon, there's the diet people must follow, they must have pure thoughts, a clean mind; there can be no fighting, no confusion. We can see how Master Irineu is a river that created some tributaries, several tributaries, right? And one of them, a dear one, was Padrinho Sebastião, right? Who founded what is now Céu do Mapiá, a Daime community where people from the doctrine make a real exodus, right, to go and learn the Master's work, which was growing, right? And when we reached more or less the 70s, the story of Padrinho Sebastião begins. I am the shine of the sun, I am the shine of the moon. I have more stars because they all accompany me the stars because they accompa his spiritual work was already receiving the surgeon, the medium Bezerra de Menezes, right? He performed surgeries and received people from distant places in the rubber plantations, even from Cruzeiro do Sul, three days by boat, to be healed by Padrinho Sebastião. Remembering that Padrinho Sebastião was the main expander of the doctrine, right, beyond the borders of the Amazon and Brazil, with Master Irineu as its founder and Padrinho Sebastião as this expander. Because Santo Daime, before Padrinho Sebastião, was limited to Rio Branco and the surrounding areas. Padrinho Sebastião welcomed many foreigners. The people who arrived were enchanted because they were people, mainly young people, who came searching for something, a meaning in life, something different from that society. And they saw a society there where you didn't find the problems of capitalist society. And so the Daime began to spread, more and more people arriving, one telling the other, and the Padrinho giving this vote of confidence so that it could truly reach the whole world. Brazil has an official stance, a bit restricted regarding the medical-therapeutic use of Ayahuasca, as there is a resolution at the federal government level that was drafted and reached through a broad process of consultation and study involving anthropologists, psychiatrists, church leaders, and other members of society, which concluded that the religious use of Ayahuasca was not harmful and that Ayahuasca does not create chemical dependency. So that became authorized. And the same resolution says that the therapeutic use of Ayahuasca will only be authorized if scientific research proves these therapeutic potentials that people claim Ayahuasca has. Practically every prohibited drug has an undesirable social group. Right after alcohol was legalized in the United States, there was an entire police force set up for the prohibition of alcohol that became unemployed. They quickly chose marijuana as an important focus of combat because it was a strange drug, smoked by Mexicans or by Black people, right? In Brazil, it was by Black people and by people from the Northeast. So there was an undesirable social group against whom it was easy to set up a process of social control. What is that, right? The hippies in the 60s, they were, they were anti-war, they were against the Vietnam War. It was much easier to control the drugs they used than to control someone being against the war. And then in the case of Ayahuasca, Ayahuasca has no undesirable social group linked to it. So that was, and especially within the process in which it was regulated, a democratic process of social inclusion that included Ayahuasca drinkers. This whole process took place in an inclusive way. So, social factors are important for us to understand as well, why Ayahuasca is legal in Brazil and legal for ritual use. She even told me to do for her from heaven to cleanse my heart. Religion doesn't depend on science to exist and we don't need to justify each of the effects of Ayahuasca scientifically for people to have transformative experiences in their lives. So that is an essentially personal element for everyone. I think there is a personal path for that being who is going to die, is aware that they are going to die, and wants to find answers to be able to survive the awareness of this fact. And why can't part of this discovery process also be a discovery of how the world works, how molecules interact, how animals behave, and how we, who are highly complex animals, also behave. For me, one thing does not exclude the other. There must be the rigor of science in science, but I don't need to do science to prove religion, nor do I need to do science to disprove it. I do not make there the captain the love I this that Believing is our and not to return Amen. I always imagined God as the figure of a man, as the figure of a father. And this father was extremely punitive. I think that is the reason why I was never able to really talk to my father. I wanted Ayahuasca to solve all the problems I have with my father, all the cowardice I have of not being able to talk to my father, of not feeling comfortable in his presence. But it made it clear to me that this it will not do for me. And so I also didn't know how to give you the affection that I should have given you. And I, and I feel that when you get close to me, you still have a, a great hesitation, and I also have a great, it's a fear that we have of each other, I don't know why, but it was the upbringing you had and that I back then also had. And we didn't know how to correct that in time, unfortunately. But look, I didn’t really have support from my father. I don’t mean to crucify him, but he was always hesitant; he didn't want us to study, well, yes, but in a way that wouldn't cost anything, without spending money. And, I think that’s why, after everything that happened—the difficulties with graduation, the difficulties with the wedding—after all those struggles, I think I wanted perfection from you, for you to be perfect, but I didn't have my father's support; he didn't even come to my wedding. Why didn't he go to the wedding? Oh, he didn't want to go. That stings. That weighed very heavily. He wouldn't let my mother. Let my mother go. I am so sorry. That weighed very heavily on me. So I was on my own during that phase. Then Grace was born right after, and we just kept going, working really hard. And then everything followed right after that. And I remember that when you were little, I could hug you and I could kiss you. When you grew up, I couldn't anymore. That weighed so heavily on my life. Oh, but it’s okay. That’s life. Life isn't just joy. I want to meet you to be able to say everything I feel. Time passed, and the distance created an abyss between us. We know well what really happened. I just want you to understand that we always understood each other, that life is like this—intense, that my paths are yours and our story goes beyond what people can understand. But our most bloody contact really was with the missionaries, right? When the missionaries arrived, uh, called New Tribes Mission, they forbade, first of all, they forbade us from speaking our language, from doing our rituals. They forbade everything. We couldn't drink our uni, our urumã, and our rituals, they said they were diabolical, right? And they started telling us about God, right, that God saved and that there was a hell, right, and that in hell there was also an owner, which was the devil, right, and that if you didn't do good things, you would go there. And little by little, in truth, they were taking away, like, as if they were, uh, erasing our memory of who we were. And they also translated, uh, they made us translate the whole Bible into Yaanaá, right? And they also introduced medicines to us, not letting us use our plants and only the two shamans, right? And the Tatatá, they sort of isolated and protected themselves. It was like an extermination for us, really. He made contact with the white man at 12 years old. No, he has several names, but I remember three, which are Ivá Estevo, Chunauá was... Our chiefs have more than one name. His last words were:" My children, wherever I stay, prepare some unir and serve me, so I can keep working. "" Make some snuff and leave it for me to take, so I can keep healing our family and never abandon me. "When the missionaries came here, our people abandoned this place. It was left abandoned for 40 years. And I... And I learned this story and came to ask for forgiveness in the name of our family and to reopen this place, saying that your children still exist, we are still here on this land. I have a spiritual promise to look after this entire place. To plant all the medicines our ancestors used. When I finish this planting, all his knowledge will be passed on to me so I can move forward. I am already in the final phase of completing my spiritual commitment. So I came here to ask him, as I brought my brothers and my friends, that he might receive us as his children. So you are here. He was one of the most complete shamans of our civilization after the contact. So, you make a request to him. He is here. We never bring just anyone here. Oh. And today I felt my heart open to invite you to come and meet the man who made the contact. Wow! Wow! The past, for me, is something that hurts me a lot. I don't know. It seems like I only made mistakes in my past. And along with that is raising children. But it seems like I only made mistakes. All the work I did, the professionalism I had, it seems that didn't accumulate positive values. Ah, I suffer a lot. I sleep until two, 2: 30 in the morning and then I spend the whole night awake and my whole life comes back. I review my life night after night, I review my entire life. And I think that is a learning process. I don't know, I'm not sure if past lives exist, but it's quite possible they do, right? Because there is an interconnection between the ancestors. So, something has to be, it has to be an influence from past lives. Heo heo heo w Hei We set out to hold a Brazilian shamanism gathering, knowing the challenge, knowing how to deal with the contradictory. People don't know how to deal with the contradictory. The contradictory becomes the enemy. So, shamanism isn't just indigenous peoples, it involves them too, but we are talking about the time when man was nomadic. The tea already spread when it started with Mestre Irineu, right, with Padrinho Sebastião, his followers, right, it came here to the church that is in Brazil, outside of Brazil. So, that's why we don't, it's not just for us, as I said, right? Divine things, how are you going to keep something good to yourself? If it weren't for the medicine, folks, we people of the forest, we wouldn't have anywhere else to seek wisdom, our dreams, our stories, our rescue, right? Especially in the state of Acre, where there are fewer conflicts. But here in the south of Brazil, there is still a lot of violence. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, there is no limit to the killing. So, damn it, we have to make this count because we are no longer in 2018, we are no longer in 1900. It is necessary for society in general to know these peoples with a little more depth. But it is important to talk, for example, about the number of indigenous peoples in Brazil, which is 305 official peoples who speak 274 languages." Tribe "does not carry the weight of" nation, "it does not carry the weight of" people. "Are you from the Brazilian tribe? It doesn't make sense. You are from the Brazilian people. Ah, people, because they have a language, they have a well-defined culture. That is why they are a people. They have their own way. That is why they are a people. My people have been in a single region near Mount Roraima for over 4, 500 years. So, Brazil, which was born just the other day, born full of bad things, of rape, of a bunch of things, it makes no sense to call us a tribe and you a people, right? It's all history, folks. And when you retransmit this, it gains more strength. So, we need to make sure that we indigenous people from diverse areas, diverse areas, their area is not my area, they are diverse areas, they need to be highlighted. We need many partners for this, because our Brazilian government is destroying everything, everything, everything, everything, everything. We are only recognized when we do something extraordinary. If you don't have money, you have to do something extraordinary. And then you get noticed. And when you are noticed, you have your moment to speak, which is the one I have now. And I have to master it well so that you have an understanding of what we live through. And when we look again at Amerindian cultures, they had and still hold concepts that things must be thought of for seven generations. The tribe's decisions are made thinking of seven subsequent generations. We are absolutely incapable of doing that. We can barely even discuss the 4-year electoral period. We can't implement certain public policies because they need 10, 15 years of vitality to work, and the very short cyclical changes prevent us from having this long-range vision. So, in this materialism, in this industrialization, society has become, in a way, myopic. It can only see what is close, it cannot see what is far away, right? And cultures that have more tradition within spirituality have more of this concern and this long-term vision. Shamanism. Actually, the word itself is not a sacred word, because it was brought by anthropologists who were studying these methods of the past and found the roots in Siberia of a word called shaman, which is the one who is inspired by spirits. And from this definition of shaman, they used shamanism as a synonym for these sets of practices. One important thing to say about shamanism in relation to this is that it is not a religion, but they are religious practices, yes. It is not an institutionalized religion, like for example, Christianity has a master there who is Christ. Buddhism has Buddha, Taoism has Laozi. Shamanism is sun, moon, stars, wind, earth, fire, water, and air, which is common to all peoples who practice these medicines of the earth. The mastery of fire, the flight of the soul, isn't that true? Altered states of consciousness, lucid dreams, all of this is part of this shamanic world. So there's no point in wanting to limit something that is extremely broad. We are talking about the mater cell, perhaps of medicine. And there is a very important topic for psychiatry, because psychiatry tends to see mental disorder almost exclusively in terms of the patient individually. Shamanism, for example, the Amerindian cultures, they already conceive the notions they have that most closely resemble mental disorder are problems of the collective that affect the community. They conceive of all of this as evil spirits, spirits that bring sickness and affect the whole. And when we stop to look carefully, if a person has depression, the family is affected, the marriage is affected, the children are affected, the community is affected, and it affects that person's life at work. The company may suffer because the patient isn't productive, isn't coping. So it is, in fact, something that belongs to the collective. So psychedelic medicine is at once an individual matter, but it also concerns the whole. The great truth, and I apologize to anyone anyone touched by these words, is that the system we have today, that we live in, is not made for people to be happy. The system was made for some people to be happy, not for everyone. Very few people can say broadly:" I am happy. "Aristotle used to say that authentic happiness for you. An individual is someone who manages to manifest and put into practice the totality of their gifts and talents. In other words, a person doing what they want and what they like to do. ayahuasca at this table. Sum up all the fragrances. And the ancestral chants, show the wonders, but they also show shadows. it is the power to transform. He he he. He tankila. Ah We have a really cool relationship, a very good father-son relationship, you know? But I have a lot of trouble with touch, with hugging him, with showing affection and everything. I've studied a lot, I've looked into this a lot between you and your son, you know? He must be feeling this difficulty, you know? And you see what gets passed down from generation to generation, right? Do you think your father wouldn't have liked to live? May I? Don't continue what happened back then. If you saw there was some mistake in the relationship between me and your father, make a difference. Change, make your own history. Everyone has a guiding voice and in the power of the Ayahuasca it becomes clear. She asked me if I was really ready for this new consciousness, for this rebirth. She said I would have problems, perhaps even bigger than before, and that I wouldn't have a safety net if I fell, but this net never existed. Then, she said that I had become a master of my experiences. I would have to choose between continuing to be a master of everything I've lived or an apprentice of what is to come. I I think it's important that my father has become more affectionate, because then I also become more affectionate, and that's how we move forward. New things, like getting out of the shallow. Yes, our conflicts, both at home with our family members and between nations, have to do with our mental models. So, these are signs that the predominant mental model is exhausted. The expansion of consciousness is something that really frightens society as it is currently established. It's no coincidence that psychedelics were banned in the 70s. They weren't illegal; they were substances there to be worked with by humanity in the best way possible, without the ban. They probably weren't banned for nothing. A society that is still very focused on who is better than the other, where the good person is the one who beats the other and not the one who cooperates. Still very focused on this idea, right? It brought us to the place where we are, right? No, we are at an existential crossroads. And we observe with the expansion of consciousness, when done properly within certain rituals, people start to realize that they, for example, have been racist, that they have been prejudiced against other cultures, against other religions, and they become a little more tolerant. I went to Acre—I'm from Rio—I went to Acre because I thought I was going to lead an armed revolution, that I was going to work with the communities, you know? And when I met the Daime, I saw that the great revolution is your own revolution. It's knowing who you are, what you are doing here, and what your mission is. They say man has already gone to the moon to see where the mysteries of the moon are. They have already entered the depths of the waters. Where is the mystery? But the mystery is inside you. Where is this world going, right? What do we want, if not for ourselves, for our children, for our grandchildren, for our great-grandchildren, for humanity, right? So, I don't think just drinking ayahuasca solves it, right? I think we have to go further, and fine, if a person's personal transformation was through it, I think that's cool, but how will this be thought of for others? And the transformation can very well come through other ways that aren't ayahuasca. It could be through meditation, it could be through sports, it could be through philosophy. From everything I live, from everything I see, you know? I want to be like the sun, I want to be like the moon, I want to be like this wish I made to the moon, I want to shine. I always say I want to wear the crown of humility and the robe of wisdom. I want to be eternal like the moon, you know? I want to have a glow. I want to be great, you know? Great in a good way, great in the sense of light, great in love, because, oh, a rich person comes along, I want love. How much of love will I take? You don't take from love. You have to live love. You have to deserve love. And within this path, spirituality itself puts people, feelings, it places enchantments, it places a life, a world for you. There are so many people who have material goods. Oh, I have this, I have that. But the person who is afraid of lightning, afraid of the dark, you weren't the great one, you weren't the powerful one, you aren't the handsome one. Where is your courage? It's amazing how we can feel love passing by, right, man? With channels wide open like this. It's so much peace, it's so much love. Oh, infinite the stars bathe, mom.
