| HOPE (Visions of Whitefeather) |
 |
directed by Catherine Margerin
Visionary Willy Whitefeather
produced by Mary Mathaisell
This animated visual film short you are about
to see is a story of prophecy.
The story of man going down the wrong path,
with one day the possibility of finding the
path of peace and love. What we are seeing
around the world with wars, genocide,
diseases, climate change such as global
warming, and potential earth changes that
have been foretold by many seers and
indigenous peoples. This is that story in
animated visuals and soundtrack that will
shake you to your roots. We must shift to
this path, without hesitation.
Directed by Catherine Margerin, produced by
Luna Media. Its is being posted with consent
and vision of Willy Whitefeather, visionary
for "HOPE"
Bruce Weaver is currently working on a
feature documentary which has this story come
to life with interviews with such visionaries
as Willy Whitefeather and many other
visionary and seers of our time.
"Hope" is a unique and powerful short film
with a message of peace for the future.
Combining animation, archival footage and
live action, in a multi-layered non-linear
story, the film brings the viewer on a
fascinating journey through human existence.
'Hope' is shaped around the knowledge and
ideas of Willy Whitefeather, a man in his
sixties of Cherokee ancestry, a fascinating
storyteller, healer, survivalist and an
individual of wisdom and heart. Using
traditions and stories from Native American
and world cultures, the film combines dreams,
images and reminiscences from our collective
memory to send a message of hope for the
future. Now is the time to reconnect with
Spirit, to recognize the effects of our
actions, to evaluate the underlying causes of
suffering and to reshape our life and our
world into a harmonious one.
The film has a visually superb and
beautifully dynamic look. The animated scenes
are in styles reminiscent of Pueblo pottery
design, Sioux painted hides, Petroglyph
drawings and Hopi mural paintings. The sound
track is similarly layered with the sounds of
a beating heart, breathing, wooden flutes,
drums, rattles, a traditional Cherokee
lullaby and original music. "Hope" urges us
to change course and follow a path of wisdom,
responsibility, beauty, simplicity and
gentleness. Catherine Margerin, a commercial
director, known for her unique painterly
style animation, is the director of "Hope".

| Ayahuasca Visions |
 |
Ayahuasca is used largely as a religious
sacrament. Those whose usage of ayahuasca is
performed in non-traditional contexts often
align themselves with the philosophies and
cosmologies associated with ayahuasca
shamanism, as practiced among indigenous
peoples like the Urarina of Peruvian
Amazonia. The religion Santo Daime uses it.
While non-native users know of the spiritual
applications of ayahuasca, a less well-known
traditional usage focuses on the medicinal
properties of ayahuasca. Its purgative
properties are highly important (many refer
to it as la purga, "the purge"). The intense
vomiting and occasional diarrhea it induces
can clear the body of worms and other
tropical parasites,[7] and harmala alkaloids
themselves have been shown to be
anthelmintic[8] Thus, this action is twofold;
a direct action on the parasites by these
harmala alkaloids (particularly harmine in
ayahuasca) works to kill the parasites, and
parasites are expelled through the increased
intestinal motility that is caused by these
alkaloids.
Dietary taboos are almost always associated
with the use of Ayahuasca; in the rainforest,
these tend towards the purification of one's
self - abstaining from spicy and heavily
seasoned foods, fat, salt, caffeine, acidic
foods (such as citrus) and sex before, after,
or both before and after a ceremony. A diet
low in foods containing tyramine has been
recommended, as the speculative interaction
of tyramine and MAOIs could lead to a
hypertensive crisis. However, evidence
indicates that harmala alkaloids act only on
MAO-A, in a reversible way similar to
moclobemide (an antidepressive that does not
require dietary restrictions). Psychonautic
experiments and absence of diet restrictions
in the highly urban Brazilian ayahuasca
church União do Vegetal also suggest that
the risk is much lower than conceived, and
probably non-existent.[9]
Today, the name 'ayahuasca' can mean a
variety of botanical concoctions containing
one or more MAOIs and DMT or one of its
chemical analogues. The synthetic
pharmahuasca is sometimes called ayahuasca as
well. In this usage, the DMT is generally
considered the main psychoactive active
ingredient, while the MAOI merely preserves
the psychoactivity of orally ingested DMT,
which would otherwise be destroyed in the gut
before it could be absorbed in the body. Most
ayahuasqueros and others working with the
brew claim the B. caapi vine to be the
defining ingredient; according to them, it is
not ayahuasca unless B. caapi is in the brew.
The vine is considered to be the "spirit" of
ayahuasca, the gatekeeper and guide to the
otherworldly realms.
In some areas, it is even said that the
chakruna or chaliponga admixtures are added
only to make the brew taste sweeter. This is
a strong indicator of the often wildly
divergent intentions and cultural differences
between the native ayahuasca-using cultures
and psychedelics enthusiasts in other
countries.
In modern Europe and North America, ayahuasca
analogues are often prepared using
non-traditional plants which contain the same
alkaloids. For example, seeds of the Syrian
rue plant are often used as a substitute for
the ayawaska vine, and the DMT-rich Mimosa
hostilis is used in place of chakruna.
Australia has several indigenous plants which
are popular among modern ayahuasqueros there,
such as various DMT-rich species of Acacia.

Visions of Johanna
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks
when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin'
our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin'
you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn
off
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my
mind
In the empty lot where the ladies play
blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of
escapades out on the "D" train
We can hear the night watchman click his
flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really
insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too
clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones
of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken
my place
Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so
seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live
dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless
and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in
the hall
How can I explain?
Oh, it's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up
past the dawn
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be
like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze
I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head
of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it
all seem so cruel
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's
pretending to care for him
Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a
parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for
him"
But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
As she, herself, prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which
was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the
rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that
remain
