As malicious and insulting as the voice was it actually gave me some good advice. It said "It costs money but I suggest going to a psychologist" also it told me it purged its soul in South America once and recommended I do the same.
The thing is though I've been into shamanism for a long time and I know alot about Ayahuasca or "La Purga" so my mind could have easily relayed that information.
I have actually traveled throughout the Amazon and have met with several Quechua Shamans and tried real Ayahuasca…not the spirit journey bullshit that drives tourists by the dozen, but the authentic medicinal substance used to cure illness. La purga, well yes it is my friend, that stuff purges you clean (from both ends if you catch my drift) but it is not detox which is clearly what you need. If I am reading your posts correctly, though you claim you are clean you have only made a 6 month commitment .Take Smasher’s advice here “straighten your life up”, then if you are still interested in the Ayahuasca journey contact me and I can give you further advice including the names and locations of villages with practicing Shamans. For your own good do not go off on one of those New Age spiritual retreats, they are first and foremost a business and whatever they give you it is not Ayahuasca. Even if they claim they have authentic ayahuasca, if it’s advertised on the web it is not real… simple as that.
It seems to me that you are interested in exploring the ritual side of drug use – as evident among other things in the name you have chosen for this forum. As posted by distillate, this indeed can be a very effective and powerful experience when done in the proper context with a shaman who has the cumulative knowledge of generations. However, tweeking for three days straight is not the proper context. Despite the possibilities that spirits, etc. may have contacted you during this drug induced experience you ought to put it in context with your mental state at the time and not take anything too seriously. Chances are the devil did not speak to you but it was the speed talking…and then again, maybe speed is the devil.
