Heart of the Initiate: A Closer Look

Webmaster — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 20:04:13 -0600

We invite you to have 'A Closer Look' at the Heart of the Initiate ayahuasca workshops in Brazil. We'll take you on an experiential journey with the sacred plants to have a deeper understanding of who you really are. In the stunning natural beauty of our location, we'll explore the vast inner worlds of this visionary medicine.

"The truly remarkable thing about this plant medicine ayahuasca is that it is presenting to you a whole new arena of consciousness. In the moment I think that's where this reconnection happens, this remembering, this reconnection with yourself. In this moment you can have a sense of the sacredness of every action that you make." - Ralph Miller, Heart of the Initiate

In the September 2006 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine there is a very interesting article on Daniel Pinchbeck, author of Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism, and his use of the Ayahuasca medicine. I wanted to let you know of this interesting article and reference a few quotations from it in this article.

Humanity exists in a relationship with the plant kingdom. Some plants give us nourishment for our bodies. Some plants have medicinal properties and can help to heal illnesses and injuries to our bodies. And still other plants can offer nourishment to our souls. Indigenous cultures that use these plants consider them to be 'teacher plants' because they transmit a wisdom that is outside of everyday human consciousness.

Ayahuasca is a teacher plant that has been in use by Amazonian cultures for thousands of years. It has only been in the last few decades that an awareness of it has emerged for people from modern western cultures. Many, like Pinchbeck, feel it is a bridge for humanity from a collective forgetfulness back to a human harmony with nature. If we can actually remember who we are and our connection to nature, it will create a quantum evolution in our consciousness.

We are taught in school that human beings are the superior species in nature. This is an idea that is ingrained in us as children. The problem is that this is only an idea … it is only a presumption. How do we measure superiority? If it is determined by which species can potentially endanger all the rest … then perhaps we are superior.

In fact, nature exists in such a delicate balance that a temperature change of only a few degrees brought on by global warming can have devastating effects. If we clear-cut thousands of square miles of the Amazon forest in order to strip-mine the earth of minerals, perhaps at the same time we are creating vast areas that will soon become deserts. The upcoming release of the film entitled, “An Inconvenient Truth” featuring Al Gore, will be a stark reminder of the legacy of ecological crisis we are handing to our children. I’ve seen the trailer and I really hope a lot of people will see this film.

We have become aggressors to the rest of nature. The list of creatures we want to control or do without increases steadily. Insects … what good are they? Forests … we hope they’ll grow back. Bears, wolfs, coyotes … lets move ‘em out of our campgrounds. Let them live somewhere else.

DaVinci Code III: The Creator Within

There are many mysteries hidden inside of Leonardo DaVinci's drawing called "Proportions of the Human Figure." It seems likely that DaVinci had an understanding of certain hidden secrets that had been passed on from ancient sources. It is interesting that DaVinci very cleverly hid most of these mysteries. For some reason he just did not put them in plain view. DaVinci wanted them to be discovered.

In the Ayahuasca temples, many people who participate in ceremonies emerge in a world where all of reality can be represented in very complex mathematical formulas or relationships. The incredible design and beauty of creation, has an underlying organization that is unbelievably complicated and elegant. People see fractal patterns, which are part of these infinitely complicated geometric patterns.

DaVinci was also aware of the mathematical anomaly called the 'Golden Mean' that, as it turns out, is found throughout nature. The Golden Mean is a relationship between three different dimensions that form a ratio. The ratio itself is actually a unique number called Phi symbolized as the Greek letter Phi or . Phi was likely named after the 5th century B.C. Greek mathematician Phidias.

In geometry this ratio is found in a Golden Mean rectangle, the uniqueness of which is found in its ability to self-replicate. By starting with a simple square that is divided in half; the diagonal or hypotenuse of one of the halves of that square can then be used as the length of radius forming a circle or an arc that will define the length of a rectangle. The rectangle will include the original square, plus another Golden Mean rectangle. The next rectangle is smaller but also contains a square plus another Golden Mean rectangle. This process is self-repeating.

DaVinci Code II - The Mystery of the Pyramids

Article by Ralph Miller

Since I wrote the first article about the DaVinci Code, I have received emails from readers who have suggested that there is more information contained within Leonardo DaVinci's drawing "Proportions of the Human Figure". I have continued researching the subject myself as well. In order to give some more of the information, I decided to write this second installment. I would also like to thank those who have sent me these ideas.

There seems to be a connection between all things. In other words, the nature of reality itself, or at least what we would consider consensual reality or 3D, seems to be holographic in nature. Each part of nature contains clues that unlock the puzzle of all the rest of reality, or to the whole of creation. DaVinci's drawing contains incredible information that shows the connection between humans and all of reality. There is a geometry hidden within the human body that reflects the geometry in everything else.

During an Ayahuasca journey, many people experience a perception of everything as part of an extraordinary mathematical equation. They see themselves in mathematical form. From nature around them to even their thoughts and emotions, everything is somehow represented as part of a beautiful mathematical geometry. Ayahuasca unlocks or awakens the visionary brain. The visionary brain completes the human ability to perceive. It unlocks the capacity of a greater seat of understanding that is located in the heart.

The DaVinci Code

There has recently been a tremendous amount of excitement around the symmetry and geometry that is contained in DaVinci's drawing called "Proportions of the Human Figure." The popular novel, "The DaVinci Code" by Dan Brown tells of how there is a six-pointed star hidden within the drawing. One idea around the six-pointed star is that the 2 intersecting triangles represent a symmetrical union of male (yang) and female (yin). This is particularly interesting since the greater human condition seems to be out of balance, with a preponderance of yang, or masculine energy.

So the idea of a coming together in balance and harmony would be fantastic.

There is a lot of information that suggests that the world is about to enter into a new feminine era. There are ideas of a major shift for mankind elucidated in many traditions. Hindu tradition speaks of a transition from a previous age to the age of Kali. Kali represents the feminine destroyer. Kali also represents the vindication of truth over lies. The Mayan calendar is coming up on its completion. The Mayans also believed in a shift for mankind.

In many ways we sit on a precipice where lies and manipulation by governments, religion and the media literally control our lives. We have world leaders who are engaged in wars and the slaughter of 100's of thousands of innocents.
