Ayahuasca Visions of Pablo Amaringo

Product Information

You touch on an important point about protecting nature; there is an increasing amount of damage that people are causing to the natural world, what is your view why humans do so much damage? My most sublime desire, though, is that every human being should begin to put as much attention as he or she can into the knowledge of plants, because they are the greatest healers of all. And all human beings should also put effort into the preservation and conservation of the rainforest, and care for it and the ecosystem, because damage to these not only prejudices the flora and fauna but humanity itself. The ayahuasca brew is made from the jungle vine Banisteriopsis caapi, which contains several beta-carboline compounds, and Psychotria viridis, a shrub containing the psychotropic dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which acts on specific subtypes of serotonin receptors. Taken on their own, neither of these ingredients has any significant effect, but when consumed together, they synergize. You can see waves just like the effects of Ayahuasca – the mareacion. It comes strongly and it seems as if it is passing and then another one comes, like waves from a stone in the water. This is the sachamama6 which comes in different colours in the mareacion and protects the vegetation. It is a semi-mythological animal because it actually exists, a huge serpent which lives on the land but doesn’t move, so plants grow on top of it. You can be chopping a path with your machete and strike it unknowingly, until blood appears! If it sees you, it draws you into its mouth with its power, you cannot escape. You can see here the seven rays of the rainbow which portray this power. Amaringo’s contributions to the psychedelic renaissance cannot be overstated. His art has played an instrumental role in shaping the contemporary perception and understanding of ayahuasca as a tool for personal and spiritual transformation. Amaringo’s visionary art has bridged gaps, fostered dialogue, and opened doors to new possibilities within the psychedelic community. Amaringo’s Later Years and Legacy Retirement from Painting

Yes, many are still. Once some religious people came and said that if the name of Jesus was spoken the paintings would explode. And they asked me to say Jesus. I said I can’t say that word, what for? They said to each other, he has got the devil in him, if he says Jesus, he will explode! Amaringo’s success and admiration for his paintings around the world allowed him to co-found the Usko Ayar School of Painting dedicated to the local youth so he could teach his painting techniques. His school was free to enroll and participate in, also allowing for former students to become teachers. They studied them and said they found language and biology in the pictures so later I began to make explanations of them. But I could never show them to people here. That’s how it all started. The plants in the painting are ishanga, maromara, pinon blanco, pinon colorado and pinon negro, lengua de perro, verbena. The ethnic elements are Shipibo5, Conibo, Shetebo, Amahuaca, and you can see the spells and spaceships. Amaringo believed that ayahuasca had the capacity to heal not only physical ailments but also emotional and spiritual wounds. The plant medicine allowed individuals to confront their inner demons, gain clarity, and find a sense of purpose. Amaringo’s art became a reflection of the spiritual revelations and transformative healing he experienced through his ayahuasca journeys. Pablo Amaringo’s Visionary Art Inspiration from Ayahuasca JourneysAmaringo’s teachings centered around the importance of living in harmony with nature and recognizing the spiritual interconnectedness of all beings. He emphasized the need to reconnect with the natural world and to foster a sense of respect and reverence for the Earth and its inhabitants. The Interconnectedness of All Things Amaringo’s curiosity led him to explore various artistic styles and techniques as he sought to develop his unique voice. He studied and experimented with different mediums, including oil paints, watercolors, and pencils. These explorations allowed him to broaden his horizons and refine his artistic skills. Meeting Ayahuasca for the First Time Here is represented the different grades of shaman. A suniruma is the highest expert sitting here, with dominion of the sky, then banco puma or banco sumi who has dominion of the land, finally the muraya who has dominion over the water.

No, the Senora used the knowledge of Ayahuasca and chanted. That was during the day. That same night I drank and received the powers, but I didn’t know what I was being given. I saw many things. I sat like a king and watched! After that I dieted for five days, staying at home, without seeing many people.

About Pablo Amaringo

As ayahuasca becomes more integrated into Western culture, the importance of honoring and respecting indigenous traditions becomes paramount.

Education and Training for Young Artists Wild plants were made for changing the environment while domestic plants, especially flowers, are for altering the heart, mind and spirit of people. In your garden its best to grown domestic plants, to put on your table to make you happy and give you love. We don’t understand plants and we look down on them but they are our fuel, our medicine, they give us health and life. All this has taken many thousands of years of work by the spirits. Beta carbolines are potent inhibitors of the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which not only prevent breakdown of DMT, enabling it to exert its psychotropic effect, but also contribute to the drug's effects by elevating serotonin levels at synapses. The combined effect is a trip lasting up to 4 hours, characterized by vivid hallucinations. Over the past few decades, the use of ayahuasca has gained significant popularity in the Western world. Its potential for healing, spiritual growth, and self-discovery has attracted a growing number of individuals seeking alternative avenues for personal development and transcendence.

Before dying, he was working on the paintings of angels, as well as paintings documenting the flora and fauna of Peru. [4] Film [ edit ] It was a spiritual matter for me. I had thought that shamans deceived and lied to people, so I didn’t believe in them. I thought that Ayahuasca healed people because it was medicine, I didn’t believe in magic and spirits. No! Then in 1967 I saw a curandera3 miraculously heal my sister who had been in mortal agony with hepatitis, and could not either eat or speak, but with this single healing from the plants, she was cured in just two hours. That motivated me to start learning the science of vegetalismo
