"The modern human has many faces. One is common to all of us. We believe and think that we are constant conscious. [0:15] (Michael Mary) 'The imagination that all possible can be done in continous conscious way is simply not correct. Actually most of the things done are only possible because they are done in an uncoscious way. This pertains all of your usual actions: if its driving a car or going shoping or emotional reactions.' [0:31] An ancient way of kings into the unconscious is a blend of plants from the Amazonas - Ayahuasca. Dr. Christian Rätsch from Hamburg is ethnopharmacologist and expert in the research of ritually used plants. A specific vine is mixed with leafs of another plant and cooked into a brew in an Ayahuasca ceremony. [1:00] After intake the body reacts sometimes with vomiting. (Dr. Christian Rätsch) 'Because of that physical cleaning the unbelievable psycodelic experience can be applied. But I would never give Ayahuasca to a psychotic person. It is something for healthy people to get more healthy because the phenomenon in it is spiritual growing.' [1:35] Ayahuasca is used in south america since 15.000 years. For the inhabitants of the rain forest it is a medium that appeals healing on a bodily and mental plane. The combination of both plants is psychoactive and slightly hallucinogen. Suppressed experiences, positive or negative, reach a conscious level. [2:00] (Dr. Fabian Piorkowsky) 'Certain patterns of our behaviour in front of others are coined by what we have experienced in early childhood and often this is not consciously accessible to us. Thus we are going into a kind of trance or processing an expansion of consciousness we can attack those patterns. The pattern was built in a time when it was usefull but all is changing and if we dont align to it our patterns might not be anymore adequat for the changed outer circumstances.' [2:30] Ayahuasca is forbidden in germany. The active ingredient DMT is under the law of narcotic substances. [2:40] 'Basically all psychoactive substances own the danger in getting addicted and of no more getting into that states. That these states are of fascination which are getting one away from allday things is actually the meaning of the drug.' [2:58] Dr. Christian Rätsch is researching for a long time psychoactive trips. In foreign countries he accompanies to discover pharmaceutical aspects of the drug. [3:10] Dr. Christian Rätsch 'For many people which decide to test and to take it, it has a big impact, because they can win insights about oneselve in relation with the world.' [3:30] Many people are reporting of positive effects. The impact to the psyche is currently researched at the university clinic of Heidelberg."
