Mother Ayahuasca

[Intro]
Akira
The Don
He's got clout

[Verse 1]
But what draws people to ayahuasca again and again
To brace themselves for this experience
And you do have to brace yourself
Is it's extraordinary effect at the level of consciousness
And one of those effects has to do with creativity
And we can see the creative cosmogenic impulse of ayahuasca in the paintings of ayahuasca shamans
As these paintings show another universal experience of ayahuasca
The encounter with seemingly intelligent entities which communicate with us telepathically
I'm making no claim one way or another as to the reality status of these entities we encounter
Simply that, phenomenologically, in the ayahuasca experience, they are encountered by people all over the world
And most frequently of all
The spirit of ayahuasca herself

[Chorus]
Mother Ayahuasca
Who is a healer
Mother Ayahuasca
Who is a healer

[Verse 2]
And although she's kind of the mother goddess of the planet
She seems to take a direct personal interest in us as individuals to heal our ills, to want us to be the best that we can possibly be
To correct errors and mistakes in our behavior that may be leading us down the wrong path
And this is perhaps why ayahuasca has been fantastically successful
In getting people off
Harmful addictions to hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine
Jacques Mobbit of the Takiwasi clinic in Peru
Brings heroine and cocaine addicts out there for a month, gives them twelve ayahuasca sessions
They have encounters with Mother Ayahuasca during those sessions
That lead them not to wish to take heroin or cocaine anymore
And more than half leave
Completely free of their addiction, never return to it and don't even have withdrawal symptoms
The same incredible healing work was being done in Canada by doctor Gabor Matte
Until the Canadian government intervened and stopped his healing practice on the grounds that ayahuasca itself was an illegal drug

[Chorus]
Mother Ayahuasca
Who is a healer
Mother Ayahuasca
Who is a healer

[Chorus]
Mother Ayahuasca
Who is a healer
Mother Ayahuasca
Who is a healer
