"We recently received an article entitled 'Why we inevitably all become Ralph!' from our friend Piers. The title of this article is deceiving which seems to be the very point he was making in writing the article. And certainly was not encouraged by Ralph himself who has said to me so many times over the years 'This work with ayahuasca is not about you, or me or any of us.'

This article describes a realization that we are ultimately responsible for every choice we make and it is our choice alone to encounter this sacred medicine. No matter what we do, or what we think we know, we are not prepared for this experience. Even if you have drank ayahuasca before you still remain unprepared. Ralph is pretty good at getting that message across with humor."

If we are to take the essential lesson of self-responsibility we will see that we are only able to walk through the door alone. Our companions may well be either side of the threshold, either beckoning for us to walk through, or encouraging us to make the journey. But the walk is one we must do alone. I point out at this moment that I believe that alone is missing a letter. The word should actually denote All-one.
