Ayahuasca – A discussion

[Jade]

While I get your point, do you believe the spirit of the molecule would truly find itself to be "plundered" because of this?

While I do think a ritual can be made of a laboratory extraction, I think if one themselves isn't involved in the "ritual of extraction", they are partaking in fruits that they have "plundered" and not "courted", in this case. The spirit of the molecule has concealed itself heavily for a reason, I would attempt to respect its wishes in this regard.

I do think you could still go through the process of "courting" the molecule by obtaining its already extracted form, but I think this is like what Ra talks about using the blunt instrument when we have the scalpel.

74.15 Questioner: If we had constructed a ritual of our own with words used for the first time in the sequence of protection what would have been the relative merit of this with respect to the ritual that we chose?

Ra: I am Ra. It would be less. In constructing ritual it is well to study the body of written work which is available for names of positive or service-to-others power are available.

74.16 Questioner: I will make an analogy to the loudness of ringing of the telephone in using the ritual as the efficiency of the practitioners using the ritual. Now, I see several things affecting the efficiency of the ritual: first, the desire of the practitioners to serve, their ability to invoke the magical personality, their ability to visualize while performing the ritual, and let me ask you as to the relative importance of those items and how each may be intensified?

Ra: I am Ra. This query borders upon over-specificity. It is most important for the adept to feel its own growth as teach/learner.

We may only say that you correctly surmise the paramount import of the magical personality. This is a study in itself. With the appropriate emotional will, polarity, and purity, work may be done with or without proper sound vibration complexes. However, there is no need for the blunt instrument when the scalpel is available.

In other words: why complicate/innovate an already time-tested ritual?
