AYAHUASCA: Initiatory Path — Tolerance and discernment
A substance like Ayahuasca offers therapeutic options since it tends to dissolve internal fragmentation and compartmentalization, revealing the defense mechanisms of psychoanalysis (such as projection, denial or displacement), enabling the clarification of sectarianisms and intransigent points of view. To the extent that the individual is able to understand the existential phenomenon in a less distorted way, contemplating his past, the presumption and blindness of his own culture and reference groups, he will need, in addition to tolerating disappointment and suffering, to overcome feelings of helplessness.
To become enlightened to the point of recognizing that one is not a victim, but responsible for one's own life, to accept one's potentials and limits, the autonomy of one's responses to challenges, to prove and deserve much beauty and joy, deep well-being, by simply being what one already is, implies receptivity, courage and determination. The productive emotional management of this psychic re-evaluation and reorganization implies a degree of balance and good sense in search of judicious attitudes, without precipitation.
