Hey guys, just got back from my second jungle adventure with Orlando Chujandama (https://thenewrisingsun.wordpress.com/2010/05/12/8/). I posted up my story from this year and the last on my blog @ ayaadventure.wordpress.com Please take a look and read through my experiences, then ask anything...

I don't think it's possible to avoid a bad trip. But it is possible to avoid going into psychedelic states while your set and setting are off. Steer clear of trips whilst your mood isn't right, that's the best way to stay out of the deep end.

Direct democracy through the internet... there's only a small minority of really d-baggy people who want really d-baggy things. Most of us just want happy lives and are content to go through them without hurting others.

Seems like you need a break from going out of your mind. After my last Ayahuasca experience I won't be returning to the jungle (except under some limited conditions), so I've been there with the "enough is enough" mindset. Take a break and pull it together. You'll recover.

The best way to inspire people is to lead by example. Be the person you want to be, and don't be shy about sharing that with the world.

I'm feeling amazing at the moment. Just got back from my second week in Peru and I'm looking forward towards sharing the details with everyone here.

The good thing about psychedelics is you reach a natural stopping point. Eventually enough becomes enough and you just want to stay in this world for awhile.

Ha, if only it was that easy. Bad trips happen when they happen, and there isn't a whole lot that can be done except run damage control mid-sequence.

Only had sleep paralysis once, and I never want it again. The feeling of another presence being in the room is horrifying.

Never tried the tank, but I can reach similar psychedelic experiences through meditation. Since the goal of meditation is to cultivate that state throughout the trials of regular life, doing it in a sensory deprived environment seems counterproductive.

Sounds like a pretty wild place--worth adding to the bucket list, for sure.

DMT is a weird one. I prefer Ayahuaca, where I've got a shaman warding off negative entities and a spirit teacher (Mom) there who I can trust.

Absolutely after Ayahuasca use I'm a lot more easygoing and carefree. I sing and dance like a little kid again, which is amazing.

Yeah I'd be a little weirded out at having sex with spirit entities. Not all spirits are benevolent, you know.

Thanks for sharing... expectations are ok and setting intention is key, but in the end you get what you get--so rolls the dice and takes your chances.
