 <title>New Article &#039;The Black&#039;Swan&#039;</title>
 <link>http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/blog/peter/black-swan</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/library/articles/black-swan&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/library/articles/black-swan-tiny.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;The Black Swan&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;The Black Swan&lt;/a&gt; by Ralph Miller (December 12th, 2008)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The world is going to change in some fundamental way; you know things will change but you can’t put your finger on what the change would be.  You just feel it. A great transformation will happen and the form it will take will be something we never anticipated. The concept of a black swan is a metaphor.  It is reference to anything that is utterly improbable.  It refers to events or things which are not predictable but at the same time feel inevitable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/library/articles/black-swan&quot;&gt;Read the article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>New Ayahusca Music</title>
 <link>http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/blog/peter/ayahuasca-music</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/workshops/brazil/ayahuasca/staff#warinei&quot;&gt;&lt;img hspace=&quot;5&quot; height=&quot;100&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;75&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; alt=&quot;Warinei Wanare&quot; src=&quot;http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/images/warinei.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;We would like to share with you some music from our good friend and shaman Warinei Wanare.&lt;/span&gt; Over the course of this last year he has spent a great deal of time with his own mentors of the Sikuani tribe in the eastern Orinoquia region of Colombia. This region is legendary for its wealth of healing and psychoactive plant medicines. There are more sacred plants here than anywhere else in the world.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The Sikuani have ancient healing traditions that use sacred words or prayers.&amp;nbsp; During the ayahuasca ceremony these prayers are sung over the people and invoke healing.&amp;nbsp; The language is sacred and comes from a place in the spiritual worlds.&amp;nbsp; Warinei continues to bring forth their knowledge and healing traditions to share with people from all over the world.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Listen to Warinei&#039;s music recently recorded during the ayahuasca ceremonies this past September.&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;Many of you have asked for longer versions so we have posted about 60 minutes of music.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>New Ayahuasca Stories</title>
 <link>http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/blog/peter/my-journey-on-aya</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/community/redemption-songs/ayahuasca-experience&quot;&gt;Ayahuasca Experience&lt;/a&gt; by Lee V.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had to surrender any expectations I had regarding my experience.  I had allowed the plant medicine to enter me and she had begun her healing work. I felt myself going in deeper, and all of a sudden came face to face with my Goddess. I recognized her immediately, as I have known her all my life. She was beautiful.  I was left feeling light, peaceful, and totally high on love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;/community/redemption-songs/my-journey-on-aya&quot;&gt;My Journey on Ayahuasca&lt;/a&gt; by Anthony Brown&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The journeys showed me that healing happens through presence and that consciousness is in the now, not the past or the future. It told me to feel into my body and helped me open my heart. It showed me my inner being and how I create my reality. And the biggest insight it gave me was that love of self and others is the only answer, &lt;em&gt;&#039;nothing else BUT love&#039;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>New Article - 2012 revisited</title>
 <link>http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/blog/peter/2012-revisited</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;We thought it would be interesting to share with you Ralph&#039;s most recent article.&amp;nbsp; It is a follow up to his original piece titled &lt;em&gt;The 2012 Problem&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; For the first article, when we were researching the historical details on our calendaring system, we found it so interesting where it all actually came from.&amp;nbsp; Some countries only adopted our current calendar less than 100 years ago!&amp;nbsp; It causes you to begin questioning all of your own rigidity around time consciousness.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this new article, Ralph describes the fallacy of our desire to hang on to these comfortable concepts and arbitrary future events such as 2012.&amp;nbsp; Instead, he offers the possibility that maybe, right now, somehow that shift or transition has already begun to arrive.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;2012 Revisited&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/library/articles/2012-revisited&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;90&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;/blogfiles/Image/2012-revisited.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;2012 Revistied&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The December 21, 2012 date is a symbol that exists as an extraordinary irony.  Any particular date is a man created marker denoting the concept of a point in  time. I find this ironic since the great transition or evolution we may be  approaching surely has to do with complete renovation of our time consciousness  or even the eradication of time itself!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Valentine&#039;s Day Live Radio Interview</title>
 <link>http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/blog/peter/feb/10/2007/valentines-day-live-radio-interview</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/images/news-for-the-soul.jpg&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;News for the Soul&quot;&gt;Peter will be on &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newsforthesoul.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; News for the Soul&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; radio show this &lt;b&gt;Wednesday, February 14th, at 9PM PST&lt;/b&gt; and invite you to join us to learn more about the Ayahuasca medicine and it&#039;s healing properties.  Nicole Whitney will be hosting this show and has put us on the first position so be sure to tune in right at 9pm PST!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When we speak during our Brazil Ayahuasca workshops the talks are always dynamic and spontaneous, about the energy in the moment.  So in Nicole&#039;s words &quot;let&#039;s just talk and see where it goes!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The show will air by internet radio broadcast and will require you to have &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.real.com/realplayer.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Real Player&lt;/a&gt; installed on your computer.  Be sure to do this before the interview so you don&#039;t miss any of it.  Visit the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newsforthesoul.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; News for the Soul&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; website a few minutes before and you will see the live audio button. The show will be archived in our own &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.heartoftheinitiate.com/library/audio-video&quot;&gt;Audio Library&lt;/a&gt; and on their website for anyone who cannot tune in for the live broadcast. &lt;/p&gt;
