Set and setting– “something in the very fibre of your being when growing up”.

Liking to think it’s not too late even for geezers (me), may I suggest that an ambitious artist or inventor, any age, can reasonably soon acquire SET eagerly practicing and learning a “field”, such as woodworking which is a world in itself, where the “set” is the skills you have acquired, and SETTING by setting up and properly equipping, say, a woodworking studio with clippers, hatchets, saws, drills, etc. organized and ready to hand when you are ready to brave the unknown and make the first prototype of some useful or inspiring object which never existed before but which God or the entheogen has appointed you to create.

I read The Serpent and the Rainbow and loved it. Really glad to see Wade Davis continuing down this path. Truly, for our 21st century modern culture, the way forward is back the way we came. If we sever these cultural connections to the plant world…

Thanks for the interview MindHacks, my first visit. By way of a friend of MAPS.

Just to note that it’s not totally correct to call Yage (ayahuasca) DMT. There’s a lot more to it. The ayahuasca vine itself has many constituents that have strong physiological and healing effects. In some parts of the upper Amazon the vine is drunk alone, without the addition of DMT containing plants like Chacruna or Chacraponga. it’s said in some circles that the vine heals and the leaf (DMT containing admixture plant) reveals.

Yay, Wade Davis! “Ethnobiology of the Hatian Zombie” – fascinating read.

Didn’t go for the Hollywood version(s).

Thanks for the interview, and another Davis title to read.
