The Shamanic Tour

Introduction

What is on offer

Amazonian Shamanism has the power to prove to the individual that nature really is governed by higher intelligences alien to Mankind.  Once people get the sufficient proof that they need to really believe this then their life on Earth is lifted in the most profound way

The Shamanic Tour experience is designed to awaken the Shaman that exists within us all.  By furnishing ourselves with this magical connect to nature's intelligence we align ourselves with the most powerful ally known to ancient man

The tour is also designed to be a peaceful holiday integrating the participants with the beauty of the Amazon.  All daytime excursions (which are fully included and optional) are designed to embrace nature and compliment the Shamanic experience 

Ancient Man and Shamanism

It is through the connect back to nature that a bigger picture of reality emerges.  This bigger picture is that the reality of this creation is much more massive and beautiful than we were permitted to comprehend.  That at the highest intelligence exists a consciousness so wise and harmonious that it's essence vibrates pure love and its rule is supreme.  This consciousness the ancients called "God".  To know the full light of the highest being would blind a man in a flash.  The solution was to school souls through an immortal spiritual journey where more slowly and unblindingly could the brightness of the highest of the Gods, be revealed

Earth's contribution to that schooling offers souls (with temporary amnesia of previous lives and pains) the opportunity to reincarnate and learn everything over again whilst gifting the soul with the joy of sampling the pleasures of material reality.  The dark forces play their part in this schooling - the dark forces are as much controlled by God as the light forces.  However, the Light lightens itself and the darkness, but the darkness only knows itself.  Ultimately, the lightness is more powerful and it is believed that the fallen spirits of darkness, as punishment, are actually in the service of the light forces

On Earth, the secrets to connecting back to God were hidden in the plants and are accessible to all - it is our birthright.  Molecularly the DNA structure of our minds were designed, thru guided evolution,  to connect to the molecular structure of plant intelligence via for example DMT (The Spirit Molecule, Strassman).  In turn plant intelligence is rooted into the Earth's collective (and individual) consciousness our ancients worshipped, the Mother Earth.  The Mother Earth,  the Goddess and divine feminine.

As we learn more about other intelligences we realise that the Earth is blessed with highly advanced souls that have progressed to the status of planets.  The Mother Earth's consciousness and the consciousnesses of the planets are guided by the highest consciousness of the Solar System, the Sun.  Reputedly twinned with Sirius, our sun is the highest soul and wisest entity in the solar system.  The Sun's family of planets, all with their own personalities, provide influence over every soul that visits Earth.  Their influence gravitates the personalities of man providing souls with every schooling perspective they choose to play out.  The ancients knew that the planets had consciousness and knew that they were Gods.  Encapsulated in Astrology and the Tarot, (even in the names of the days of the week), they knew that within their gravitational fields their power of influence was spatially measured.  The Egyptians, The Greeks, even the Romans... this secret was known to all but the power of connect to these intelligences thru magical divination was guarded by initiation

The Ayhuasca vine in Peru is also referred to as "Soga del Alma", which means "Vine of the soul".  We can show that the architects of Latin/Italian at least knew that the vine could be used for divination because it cannot be coincidence that the word "di~vine" which means "Godly", "wonderful", "discover by intuition" also means morphically,  "of~ vine".  The link between the vine and divination is a secret which goes back a long way

All religions are based in truth and most cultures, going back far enough, used psychedelics to create their religious models.  In Britain for example the high priestesses of Avalon would journey out of their bodies - all that the masses know of this now are the stories of witches flying on broomsticks!  Shamanism is deep rooted in all cultures however the Amazon is still blessed with widely practised, living Shamanism

How do we know all this?

Well much of it is written in ancient texts - texts some of which are made available to you on the tour should you wish to use the time to study them but the texts are dead and the main teachings come from the living higher deities available thru Shamanism.  Shamanism links us to plant intelligence via the psychedelic experience, mainly Ayahuasca.  The opinion that ancient man's views are as valid today as ever are a growing consensus amongst the people exploring the Ayahuasca for philosophical guidance.  Modern opinions are also advancing where ancient man left off.  For example, Terrence McKenna theorised that the magic mushroom was introduced to Earth by higher beings to help mankind's intelligence evolutionise.  (Food of the Gods)

Philosophical Shamanism is a re-emerging subject but is often taboo in an evermore critical and censored society.  However it seems that everyone who advances with Ayahuasca will sooner or later start to get these or similar teachings and we find with the people that come here, everyone has very valid ideas to contribute.  It seems that anyone who searches for Shamanic wisdom with an open heart and sincerity will get divine guidance on absolutely anything no matter how personal.  We cannot all be Terrence McKennas but we can all use plant intelligence to advance our lives, particularly spiritually.

Ayahuasca and San Pedro

The Ayahuasca ceremony may trigger all kinds of emotional response - it is one of the most powerful psychedelic experiences known to man making LSD feel spiritually empty.  Most people that open the doors of perception thru the Ayahuasca experience are pretty cool headed and handle the revelations well.  It seems that plant intelligence is able to guide each of us at a safe speed.  It is the Shaman's job to manage the ceremony and to be the guide of the other dimensions of divine revelation.  The Shaman use the Icaros (magical, ancient songs) to induce trance and call on the deities for both wisdom and protection.  On occasions people cry in ceremonies or on rare occasions even scream - these always become deep healings for people that often need to let go of a lot of internal anxiety

Assimilating the teachings after an Ayahuasca experience can take a couple of days - this is a time when it is best to be physically in a natural habitat, and mentally in a stress free holiday sense, feeling very looked after

Any fears of coming to the jungle - spiders/snakes etc. should be converted to faith in the Mother Earth.  The connect to nature via the Shamanic journey teaches many that if your intensions towards the Mother be pure and based in love then she will always protect you.   This teaching comes mainly from the San Pedro cactus which is also available on the tour.  After Ayahuasca, the San Pedro is the second most Shamanic plant in the psychedelic toolkit.  It teaches in a completely different way to Ayahuasca and it is worth considering trying it - San Pedro is the protector

Considering Plant Medicine

Repeated below are the first sentences of this introduction because think about what is being offered by our Shaman friends:

Amazonian Shamanism has the power to prove to the individual that nature really is governed by higher intelligences alien to Mankind.  Once people get the proof that they need to really believe this then their life on Earth is lifted in the most profound way

...believing that higher intelligences can read our minds and are available to guide us is having faith in prayer.  This is something that many of us have been dissuaded from by modern science because we simply cannot believe that higher intelligences actually exist let alone can effect our reality. The good news for now is that we don't need to know how they exist because we can simply experience the connection to believe it.  Being put in the same environment as our ancient fathers were and conducting a ceremony in the traditional way exposes us to the same source of wisdom that they experienced.  Is it any doubt that we arrive at the same conclusions?

The hardened critic may go on to say that the psychedelic experience is nothing more than a sparking brain experiencing confusion and the experience is therefore dangerous.  However, this is not the evidence for Ayahuasca.  In contrast to say smoking and drinking alcohol which is proven without a doubt to be dangerous, Ayahuasca is a beneficial experience.  The evidence tends to be that of the people (mostly in the jungle) who have been working with Amazonian psychedelics for 1000s of years, the report back is that it greatly improves health - that it is a medicine.  Secondly plant intelligence seems to be spawning some interesting philosophy whilst helping many people conquer their personal issues.  The only level ground between the informed critic and the Shaman is a compromise along these lines: 

The psychedelic experience is a healthy, productive experience which elevates intelligence (mind expansion).  

Anything less than that from the critic and they simply have not done their homework or tried the experience for themselves.  The Shaman have inherited the experience and it is only from this perspective that the rest of the proof for higher intelligence can be assimilated.  This is because the proof is experiential and learnt in a non objective, non linear way.  The plants teach thru visions which are often impossible to articulate because we simply do not have the words.  But teach they do and their teachings are a profound message which needs to be heard.  Profound wisdom is the signature of higher intelligence and when it is apparent that it is more profound than the receiver could have comprehended alone the proof of higher, alien intelligence is assimilated.  These are the teachings that lift people's lives and the critic who has never tried Ayahuasca can never really understand this

The psychedelic plants here are referred to as medicines because their healing capacities are even greater than their teachings.  For people looking to Shamanism for medical help then do consider this tour.  One of the greatest Shaman, Jesus Christ, proved anything could be cured if our faith is sufficient enough.  However, to really escalate that faith and really believe that any health situation can be reversed (the mindset essential to manifestation) for most of us it is necessary to get some proof because the blind faith many religions advocate is powerless.  One path to that faith is the Shamanic path and taking at least two weeks out to test it before embarking on any modern therapy probably won't matter too much if you have already been ill unknowingly for some time.  Ask your doctor to permit you that holiday because it is not unreasonable before embarking on any big decision in life to take a little time out to think carefully.  The Tour can give you that space

Last Point: For people looking to the Shamanic path to solve drug addiction problems or alcoholism then do tell us about this.  We may suggest more time with the Shaman we know who understand these problems

Benefits of the Tour

The advantage of the Shamanic Tour over booking into just one place for a couple of weeks is that you get to see more shaman and gain a broader understanding of Shamanism

The other great advantage is that you are being guided around, staying in places for around 3 days is long enough for a first visit.  You will see more of the jungle, travel on the rivers and meet the wildlife safely.  You are well looked after at a time when you are handling some of your innermost feelings about anything you care to explore

Lastly, we have pooled together many years Shamanic experience and the Tour is continuously updated to ensure that the Shaman, the logistics and the care is the best we can conceive.  Of course people need to realise that 5 star hotels are hard to come by in the jungle so a relaxation towards a more natural and rustic kind of living is required of participants

Preparation

It is possible that you are already being gently shown that there is something much bigger than the understanding of reality you previously held.   The synchronicities that occur in your life are the tentative hints of these teachings - the first insight according to The Celestine Prophesy.  As the synchronicities compound, the concept of mere coincidence is shattered.  One becomes increasingly convinced that there are higher intelligences governing the chance events in our lives and that they can hear our thoughts and prayers.  This knowledge is the genesis of the subjective proof required to start constructing a faith that is so solid that it has the potential to manifest increasingly more powerfully. This unleashes our personal power.  The link to plant intelligence may well accelerate your learning because unlike synchronous events plant intelligence enables us to see visions in our mind's eye which are far more vivid than imagination or dream.  Seeing with closed eyes can only be described as a new sense - it is the opening of the third eye

There is no fixed religion associated with the tour because everyone has their own spirituality to contribute and everyone's opinion is respected.  The Ayahuasca is the teacher, not the Shaman nor too any Tour guides.  Most probably she is already calling you to the jungle of Peru.  We believe she chooses her apprentices and it is our responsibility to ensure that our passengers get to meet the highest quality of Shamanism and are maximally facilitated.  For example, we kno that a person that links back to nature thru eating healthily, mainly raw foods such as fruit, will facilitate their nature connect.  We also kno about detoxification thru enemas, fasting, the abstinence from using unnatural chemicals in personal hygiene such as soap, shampoo, deodorants and toothpaste.  Most Shaman are also gifted healers who do not depend on any unnatural drugs.  The Tour also teaches Yoga and meditation techniques.  All of this information and guidance is available on the tour, but it is always left up to you to decide how much you will take on and how much you decide to leave aside - there is never any pressures or obligations because above all, the most important thing is to remain stress-free and happy.  All expenses are included in the tour but during free time, particularly when in Iquitos, you will need some pocket money to hand

As a preparation we advise people to be as healthy as they can.  A good diet and some exercise will go a long way.  This is not because the Tour is physically demanding as it is not.  However, good health aids your personal power and is traditional to Shamanism.  The purer our body, the more easily we connect back to nature.  Altho not essential, to begin now to live a healthier life in preparation for coming to Peru will be complimented by the plant medicine's own ability to improve your health whilst you are here.  The whole tour experience may well get you feeling younger again

The Tour is designed to awaken the Shaman within you and that is our service to God.  We believe that over the next few years more and more people will vibrate at these higher frequencies of consciousness and collectively that global force of light will lead into the wonderful New Age, post 2012.
