Huachuma Radio with Martin Reaves

What is a spiritual path? What does it mean to walk it? How do you identify a false path? And, where does the path lead? During this conversation with Sergey, we dive into these questions and relate our personal experiences of escaping the grasp of cults to find the path.

Part II of an exploration into the nature of free will with Sergey Baranov.

A deep dive into the topic of free will, choice and what makes us human. Sergey Baranov and I discuss the existence of the self, the reality of free will and the paranoid delusions of both Eastern philosophers and Western intellectuals who claim that you, and your ability to choose your destiny, are mere illusions.

Sergey Baranov and I discuss the field of psychiatry, pharmaceutical industry entrapment and shamanism as a way out of the chemical labyrinth. This conversation took place during a Huachuma ceremony at an ancient sacred site near Calca, in the Sacred Valley of Peru. www.ShamansWorld.orgwww.MartinReaves.com

In this episode, my good friend Wayne Paul tells the heartwarming story of his musical journey, which began when he discovered electronic music as a young child living on the island of Malta. I met Wayne in Peru and together we produced the musical introduction for Huachuma Conversations. We talk music, medicine, the creative process and Wayne shares some of the takeaways from his time in Peru working with the sacred cactus.

In a charged and wide ranging discussion by the river, Sergey Baranov and I discuss becoming the Huachuma medicine, the principle of reciprocity, artificial intelligence, why God is worth saving and using coca leaf as medicine. Finally, we dive into understanding just what the divine intelligence of the human species looks like. This is a fun episode and a window into the process of writing my upcoming book, Finding Life Before Death.

Vegan versus meat-eater! In this episode I sit down for a chat over dinner with Wayne Paul, a fantastic guy from Iceland who has been eating only plants for the last four years. Though our dietary choices are quite different, we both are nutrition geeks at heart who share a common love for real food. We discuss our polar but related paths of finding deeper connection to life through food. Wayne's sensible, humble yet passionate approach to the plant based diet is refreshing in a time of radical ideology.

In this episode I talk to Sergey Baranov, who gives a prophetic warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence as we discuss an article from The Guardian titled "Love in the Time of AI: Meet the people falling for scripted robots." With his signature humor and clarity, Sergey cuts through the delusional thinking underneath the rise of this strange phenomenon. We also dive in to the nature of plant intelligence and the state of shamanism. Sergey leaves us with practical, grounded advice for navigating these strange times.
