A History Channel documentary on the ancient history and ritualistic initiation of psychedelics. Richard Evans Shultes (The Real Indiana Jones), the legendary ethno-botanist who brought to the western world a new look at the medicinal use of plants from the rain forests of the Amazon and the psychedelic experience which has been a pivotal aspect of man's evolution through the ages.

Join a journey to retrace the eye-opening explorations and mind-bending discoveries of modern-day adventurer and scientist Richard Evans Schultes.

Based on the groundbreaking discoveries of revolutionary ethno-botanist Richard Evans Schultes.


  • Two hour documentary filmed on location in five different countries.



  • Host Wade Davis, Schulte's protégé, is a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence.





  • Learn the secrets of shamans and medicine men. Retrace the thrilling explorations that revealed their ancient knowledge to the developed world. Sit at the knee of the man who brought their wisdom out of the jungle.

    In the 40s and 50s, when the Amazon was still a deeply mysterious, untracked region, Richard Evans Schultes followed the guidance of native experts — tribal healers, shamans, mystics — to find botanical treasure. For months at a time he combed the jungle, collecting thousands of samples and discovering plants unknown to the modern world, many of which produced fantastic chemical compounds with strong effects on our bodies... and our minds.

    In this ambitious feature-length documentary, renowned botanist, explorer and author Wade Davis ("The Serpent and the Rainbow") reconstructs the travels and discoveries of his great mentor Schulte, the Father of Ethnobotany.

    Our associations with psychedelics, the hippies, raves, and seamier drug culture, ignore the ancient legacy and cultural significance of hallucinogenic substances and other plant-derived medicines. PEYOTE TO LSD journeys from native ceremonies to laboratories in Switzerland exploring the evolution of psychedelic substances from sacred plants to modern psychotropics. Legendary writers, musicians and Beat Poets offer insight into the counterculture and mainstream influence of botanical compounds.




    PEYOTE TO LSD takes you around the globe, through the jungles and deep into the human mind. What a trip!

    A 70 acre ranch owned by James Gilliland, a UFO / Extraterrestrial contactee who lives in the small town of Trout Lake, Washington at the base of Mt.Adams is home to the most fascinating ET / Orbs / UFO contact going on on our planet today ! The uncountable number of Orbs that appear in the photographs taken at conferences held at the Ranch and the videos which show Orbs, UFOs and Flying Rods thanks to the IR cameras are evidence enough for the skeptic to get thinking ...

    Here's a really amazing video of Orbs flying all over the ECETI ranch where a small group of skywatchers are camping. People are singing, dancing, having a good time ... so are the Orbs :)



    Something more about the ECETI ranch from the Official ECETI Website ...

    An unprecedented event is unfolding in a small town known as Trout Lake, Washington. This event has the potential to change the course and destiny of Humanity and the Earth. The people of Earth are being offered a chance to join the rest of the universe in peace.

    The technologies to end disease, clean up and restore the environment, fuel-less energy technologies, and the virtual keys to Utopia have been disseminated and are waiting for distribution and production. A whole new world is unfolding for those with the courage to accept it.

    C5 Contact with spiritually and technologically advanced extra and ultra terrestrial off world visitors which we refer to as the greater family of man has occurred at the home of James Gilliland, known as the Sattva Sanctuary. ABC, Fox News, The History Channel, Evening Magazine, and other cable channels too numerous to mention have covered the ongoing contacts at the Sanctuary. Radio shows such as Coast to Coast AM with George Noory & Art Bell, Jeff Rense and many others have all covered this incredible verifiable event.

    Ultradimensional Contact during the skywatch at the 2006 Science, Spirit and World Transformation Conference. Many miracle healings occurred to campers in the field that night.

    There have been thousands of eyewitnesses, some of which are prominent scientists and physicists. Astro, nuclear, bio and plasma physicists have all witnessed these events. Aerospace, Air force design engineers, professional photographers and investigators from around the world have come to observe the ongoing UFO activity at the Sanctuary.

    There is a long history of UFO sightings in the area going back as far as a hundreds of years in Native American Lore.

    Kenneth Arnold who coined the word flying saucers in his 1947 report said he lost sight of the luminous discs as they descended on the western slopes of Mt Adams.

    Trout Lake, now internationally known as a UFO hot spot, is located at the base of Mt. Adams.

    Dr J. Allen Hynek, Greg Long, Bill Voguel, David Ackers and many other investigators have documented a long history of UFO activity covering events from contacts, sightings of metallic craft and large luminous objects which are inquisitive, follow vehicles and demonstrate themselves to be under intelligent control.

    Within these reports were sightings by fire tower operators, forest rangers, and local police. People from all walks of life have, and are continuing to come to witness the ongoing events.

    CSETI with Dr Steven Greer, PSI Application with Steve Mareno and two other independent groups were all present when, not one, but four immense triangle ships flew over the Sanctuary along with other brilliant UFOs all of which were filmed by multiple witnesses.

    There are large volumes of photos and literally hours of footage of ships hovering, taking off at break neck speeds, making right angle turns, throwing off tremendous energies expanding to several times their original size and responding to the people below showing they are under definite intelligent control.

    The evidence is in showing beyond a shadow of a doubt UFOs are real and ongoing contact is unfolding at the Sanctuary.

    The purpose of these contacts is threefold. The first phase is to document the events and establish public awareness which is almost complete.

    The second phase is to rise to the occasion training ambassadors of peace to inter-phase with these benevolent off world visitors and secure a military stand down. In the interest of national security and common sense it is wise to align with those of superior technology in peace as allies rather than greet them with aggression. Despite the Hollywood movies any conflict with off world visitors with the capability of interstellar, inter-dimensional and time travel would be a very arrogant and unwise decision. UFOs have a long deep rooted presence in the history of Earth and if they were going to conquer, destroy or consider us fine dining it would have happened long ago.

    The last phase is to create a template, a Galactic Exchange Center like none other where full inter-phase and exchange of wisdom and technologies can occur. This sharing or inter-phase will assist humanity in a quantum leap in evolution thus joining the rest of the universe, the greater family of man in a bold new adventure.

    The Age of Aquarius is here. Love, compassion and service to Humanity and the Earth are now a prerequisite if we are going to continue in our evolutionary process. It is time to live in peace and harmony with each other, our environment and the greater family of man throughout the multiverses.

    Enlightened Contact with Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence continues .... here ! A small excerpt from the continuation ...

    "The Sanctuary is on what's known as a vortex with a near by portal which makes easy access for contact. The higher consciousness and energy here attracts other spiritually and technologically advanced beings which aids in the awakening and healing process. The contacts are telepathic in nature followed by the undeniable presence and sighting of their ships. It usually begins with the feeling of a powerful and loving presence. The crown of the head and "third eye" feel a pressure indicating their presence and then all one has to do is look up. Many also hear a ringing in their ears which is high frequency communication, guidance from on high fed directly to the subconscious mind surfacing later as needed."

    Alex Grey too joins in with his artistic rendition in hope of the change Barack Obama could bring to the World as the President of the United States of America. We hope he sets a good example of honesty and service in the best interest of humanity and Planet Earth ! Alex Grey paints Barack Obama !




    OBAMA
    Anatomy of a World Leader
    by Alex Grey

    After hearing Barack Obama's speech in BerIin, and noting the degree of excitement and hope that he generated throughout many countries besides the US, I started to see him as one of the first true "world leaders." This may be partly because of his extraordinary childhood and political life that has bridged many cultures. Obama's restraint and intelligence, exhibited as foes were bating him throughout the campaign, his heartful clarity coming through in his talks are all qualities of a highly evolved person.

    We need to consider our planetary citizenship, because solving the world's ecological and economic problems, and creating a culture of peace and reconciliation will require the co-operation of all nations.

    Perhaps you can use this symbol of Barack Obama to send him a prayer of support, to send all the loving hopeful healing and creative energy that we can focus on him so that he can perform the task of leadership in the most effective and powerful way for the greatest good, for the greatest number.

    The name Hopi is a shortened form of Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, "The Peaceful People" or "Peaceful Little Ones" ... Here is a message from the Hopi Elders about 2012 ...



    You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
    Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.


    Here are the things that must be considered:

    Where are you living?
    What are you doing?
    What are your relationships?
    Are you in right relation?
    Where is your water?
    Know our garden.
    It is time to speak your Truth.
    Create your community.
    Be good to each other.
    And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

    This could be a good time!

    There is a river flowing now very fast.
    It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
    They will try to hold on to the shore.
    They will feel like they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.

    Know the river has its destination.

    The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off toward the middle of
    the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.

    See who is there with you and celebrate.

    At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all
    ourselves ! For the moment we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

    The time of the lonely wolf is over.
    Gather yourselves!

    Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.

    All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

    We are the ones we have been waiting for !

    Goa emerged on the world scene back in the 60's with the 'Hippie Movement' which brought the western world to the beaches of Anjuna. Composed mostly of white teenagers and young adults between the ages of 15 and 25 years old, hippies inherited a tradition of cultural dissent from bohemians and beatniks of the Beat Generation in the late 1950s. Stories of Freaks in Goa and a slowly building counter culture made some enthusiasts hop onto an overland Bus leaving for Goa all the way from Europe (Greece). Disillusioned, disenchanted preferring an altered state of consciousness to the collective illusion the world embraces as 'Reality', they found home under the palm trees of Goa.

    Staying in Goa was extremely affordable then and to the Hippies, money was always just a means to an end. They stayed and stayed and stayed even longer ... the community doubled, tripled, increased exponentially in very little time. So began a long ongoing chapter in the history of the psychedelic culture spawning a whole new generation into an alternate reality, a different world where anything was possible and all boundaries dissolved.


    This is just one of the many ways of telling the story of Goa, the Hippies, the Freaks and a generation of hipsters being exposed to a plethora of substances which dramatically alter ones perception of the world and the nature of reality. This is where it starts to get a little chaotic as in those days there was little or no drug awareness among the users. People began experimenting with all kinds of potentially damaging substances namely Heroin & Cocaine with little or no understanding of it's effect on the mind, the body and the soul ! To support their needs and addictions, some Hippies began smuggling Drugs all the way to Europe and America for a good price, enough to help them sustain their erratic lifestyles and keep moving back and forth till sanity stays alongside, watching closely what's going on ! Those days, Hippies could be seen walking along the beaches of Arambol, Anjuna or Vagator sporting their birthday suits, openly having sex with their respective lovers or indulging in orgies while the music played on in the background. The Freak capital had become a twisted saga of Sex, Drugs & Rock n Roll ... The BoOmers were on a crescendo !




    Over the years, as capitalism and globalization began making in roads everywhere, the locals and the Goan Government started to become increasingly less tolerant toward the Hippie attitude as it conflicts with the ethics and lifestyles of modern day society. The authorities were now coming on strongly against Nudism, Drugs and Loud Music being played around residential areas late into the night. Some Hippies hence chose the path of reform and got back to the regular city lifestyle and a day job, some became Sadhus and Sanyasis and some stayed back and are still seen dancing around the shacks of South Anjuna, namely Curlies and Shiva Valley. If you ever get a chance to speak to some of these willing old timers, you would know they have a whole lot to talk about and for good reason. With the slow death of the "Hippie Era", Goa's reputation as the Freak Capital never diminished, but evolved into the Monsterattes we see on News Channels and read about in the newspapers. Irresponsible use of drugs and sexual predation are closely linked in the darkness of our present times and it's only we who can change this and turn things around in a new direction we collectively envision.



    A place once known by some as paradise, Goa today is over crowded with people from almost everywhere on this planet ! Mostly from other Indian states making there annual pilgrimage to Baga & Calangute checking out the scantily clad women folk and drinking unimaginable quantities of easily affordable alcohol while dangerously gyrating to electronic music they have never heard of. With this ever increasing population of seasonal tourists pouring into Goa each year, the crowd has literally overflowed into the once peaceful sanctuaries of Morjem, Vagator and Anjuna. As a result what we have here is a Van full of tourists at the junction, right before you take the left for the Flea Market looking for directions to any place where a party is happening. When told about Curlies from where we'd just left a FULL ON scene, heading toward Bamboo Forest, the boys say, "There was some weird electronic music going on there dude" .... so we promptly pointed toward the road heading back to Baga / Calangute. Hopefully, they found a place to hang-out where they didn't feel as alienated ! :)


    This was 2 years ago, when Bamboo Forest was still on. Thanks to the residents living close to the mystical Bamboo Forest who are 'deeply disturbed' by nonstop loud music playing for long hours. Hilltop & 9 Bar, UV Bar, Shiva Valley are one of the few places where you get to see some major parties happening. If you have seen "Last Hippie Standing" you would remember a local expressing his valued opinion on the psychedelic trance music scene of Anjuna ...

    He says, "170 beats per minute, it's CRAAAAAZZZZYYY !


    The essence of Goa lies in the outdoors and any party / gathering / event organized in the limited confines of a man made shelter remains limited. The elements of nature most of us seem withdrawn from (sitting cozily on our bean bags, slouching lazily in our arm chairs) need to be simply reconnected with ! We need to strengthen our eternal connection with all that is ! With a little expansion of our limited awareness and taking responsibility of ourselves we can begin to create a better Goa we will live to see. People keep talking about what Goa used to be and what it has become today and all this talking isn't quite moving the psychedelic bandwagon any forward but looping it endlessly much to the annoyance of the free thinker and the world which needs a breath of fresh air, a much awaited change in the monotony of routine and chaos. What can we do ? We can revisit the basics of P.L.U.R, truly understand what it means and be the change we wish to see in the world. Not be silent spectators to injustice and misdemeanor of any kind.


    Start Here & NOW .. forgive & allow ... leave the past behind, Goa is not a place, it's a state of mind !



    This is Goa :D

    Obama speaks ...

    With India's launch of its first unmanned lunar spacecraft following closely on the heels of China's first spacewalk, we are reminded just how urgently the United States must revitalize its space program if we are to remain the undisputed leader in space, science, and technology. My comprehensive plan to revitalize the space program and close the gap between the Space Shuttle's retirement and its next-generation replacement includes $2 billion more for NASA - but more money alone is not enough. We must not only retain our space workforce so that we don't let other countries surpass our technical capabilities; we must train new scientists and engineers for the next generation. My comprehensive space policy focuses on reaching new frontiers through human space exploration, tapping the ingenuity of our commercial space entrepreneurs, fostering a broad research agenda to break new ground on the world's leading scientific discoveries, and engaging students through educational programs that excite them about space and science. As a child, I remember sitting on my grandfather's shoulders and watching the Apollo astronauts return from a splashdown to Hickam Air Force Base, dreaming of where they had been. It inspired my imagination and gave me confidence in what we as Americans could achieve. It's time for a space program that inspires our children again. As President, I will lead our space program boldly into the 21st Century - so when my daughters, and all our children, look up to the skies, they see Americans leading the way into the deepest reaches of our solar system.

    Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark, a billionaire and a genius at designing new age weapons to protect the sovereignty and the people of the United States of America. While he is in Afghanistan promoting his new weapons of mass destruction, he is attacked by a group of militants and ironically, they use weapons made at Stark Industries to target his convoy. Tony Stark wakes up all wired up in a cave attached to a car battery which is keeping a shrapnel from entering his heart. He has been held captive so he can build new weapons for the militants and this is when Tony Stark has an awakening of sorts and decides to go against the bad guys. He builds himself an Iron suit which can make him fly and has all the possible weapons embedded into his flying gear / suit ! This is where the adventure begins ...


    The movie has multiple references to the UFO phenomena. For instance, the 1st time Tony Stark flies as the Iron Man after returning from captivity, he enters restriced air space and is caught on the radar at the Edwards Air Force Base, home to famous UFO sightings of the 60's. Soon Jets are scrambled to intercept the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), however in vain !
    The movie has a lot of resonators from the current world scenario and is certainly worth watching more than once ! The movie ends with Tony Stark at a Bar chatting up with General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt) from Incredible Hulk about putting together a team ... Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk are teaming up .... This gets even more interesting ....
