I've sat and taken ayahuasca with that Shaman. He's the real deal. My life saw new meaning after sitting.

[AA-eumx]

I used to be an atheist but after Ayahuasca I feel like I'm more of a Pantheist now.

[thomasdequincey]

If Scientology can be called a religion, anything can. Literally, anything.

[bettiraige]

Good on ABC for sharing a story about something that is way beyond conventional understanding, but deeply and spiritually necessary. I hope everyone who needs it finds comfort in this.

[MrBobconner]

Dauuum!! I might have to change from the church of beer to the church of ayahuasca.

I’m grateful for my trip last year. I didn't expect any physical impact, but my back pain was immediately gone almost completely that night and never fully came back. My back pain is now almost always 75-90% less than what it was before Ayahuasca. Sometimes it's gone completely! I've also been at peace so much more than before- if you get called, please answer ❤❤❤

God didn’t make this illegal. Genesis 1:29
People made this illegal, to separate you from God.

Psychedelics are great, one time I was trippin on too much acid and I was staring at a fire pit and the fire pit turned into a mini world with little people and buildings, that was 2 years ago and it's such an experience to remember. would love to try out the psilocybin mushrooms next, just don't know where to get them, so hard to come by

People are born and raised in a random religion, and are nice people.

[guymerritt]

The reasons that religions are dying is people are seeking true, spiritual growth which very rarely has anything to do with religion. Hello.

[SolidSnake-cnmo]

I found spirituality again through ayahuasca it helps me to restructure my life and perspective on things, it was a beautiful experience.

[TemptedSpirit]

Understanding how ourselves, god, every other person, and every living thing are all connected far more than we realize, is religion. All working together like a Great Barrier Reef 😊

[sandman]

To connect with God is easy. We can meditate on the creation of God like we ponder over the mountains, the rivers, the oceans, stars, moon, plants, animals, ourselves etc..

[deeprecce]

Any belief system that bring one's self consolation and does not infringe on others rights is fine with me..unfortunately not all faith based religion are like that, their insidious and pernicious teachings are causing more division than harmony!

[MóTee]

The spirit of lawlessness is truly turning us far from God😢 this is sad. I pray for America.

[jamesdailey]

I’ve drank ayahuasca with them an it was trying life changing ❤ tita is the real deal .

[brianpeavey]

It makes a lot more sense than being Catholic.

[samanthaconn]

No folks, only Jesus leads to salvation. The practice of "new age" with drugs as enlightenment is decietful and demonic. I'll pray you find Jesus and He opens your mind, heart, and soul up to the only truth, which is that He is the only way. A shaman will lead you to Hell. Jesus will lead you to Heaven. I pray you have an awakening to the Lord and not lead to the devil who is decieving you. ❤

[AnnaAnnieAnneofGreenGables]

People become believers in God through ayahuasca? Even Satan believes in God.

[dza]

Jesus is “ ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:11‭-‬12 NIV

Be well and be at peace.
