Recorded live on September 2nd, 2007 during our workshops in Brazil, listen to a lecture by Ralph Miller about approaching our own individual Destiny.

DestinyEach of us look at the circumstances that brought us here and the desire to approach our own individual destiny. We agree to put one foot in front of the other towards something that we are completely ill prepared for. Our destiny is unavoidable. Our egos take great comfort in the belief that we have choice in the decisions that we make. But free will is ultimately not reconcilable with Destiny. Destiny is a place and a point where you will be without option. It is because of your own design and your own desire that you create your Destiny.

The Ayahuasca medicine is like a crossroads between the natural world and human beings. It is an encounter with an intelligence that is far older than human intelligence. The origin of who we are is embedded in a symbiosis with nature. Perhaps you are here because the plant decided to partake in you. The plant decided that it wanted to drink you.

It makes you feel the awesome nature of the Destiny that you are involved in. There is nothing that is out of reach for the interaction between this plant and human consciousness. As we approach this ceremony, I would invite you all to have an anticipation and a respect for the Destiny that each of you created in your own life to be here in this place today.

The nature of this plant is really beautiful because whenever she comes to meet you for the first time she seems to always bring a gift.

One of the gifts that she brings is that she has an amazing ability to detoxify the human body, the human machine; to clean it up and to make it work better.

She can do the same thing in the emotional body. This plant is extraordinary in its ability to bring to your attention something that happened in your past, allow you to process it in a healing, whole and complete way, and to put it in the context of your life that you can finally understand. Many people describe this experience as 2 years of psychotherapy in one night.
