2012 Revisited by Ralph Miller (June 21st, 2008)
The December 21, 2012 date is a symbol that exists as an extraordinary irony. Any particular date is a man created marker denoting the concept of a point in time. I find this ironic since the great transition or evolution we may be approaching surely has to do with complete renovation of our time consciousness or even the eradication of time itself!
Emanant Ego Collapse by Ralph Miller (September 22nd, 2007)
When we experience a big loss of control it makes us feel insecure and vulnerable. There is a letdown and perhaps we experience ourselves as being a little more genuinely human. Our collective ideas about ourselves form an assembly of self-importance or ego. This letdown is the collapse of those ideas. We are humbled.
The 2012 Problem by Ralph Miller (September 11th, 2006)
We live according to the structures of time, but we really have little understanding of what it actually is. There is a forgotten inner landscape wherein we can perceive our connection to everything. That reconnection will bring an end to time as we have known, and will forever change who we are as human beings.

Ayahuasca: A Universidade Gaia por Ralph Miller (Português)
A metáfora da “escola” na verdade não é uma metáfora de forma alguma. Tudo na Ayahuasca é sobre aprendizado. Durante uma cerimônia com a Ayahuasca, você começa num lugar e termina em outro. A próxima cerimônia traz você de volta ao lugar que você deixou. As aulas começam às 09:00h... o sino toca... e a “mãe-Aya” dá a lição do dia!

Why we inevitably all become Ralph! by Piers Portman (February 28th, 2008)
The path to enlightenment is a path to be walked alone. This may seem something we would not choose, as we are all addicted to the comfort zone of our companions. 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.
"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."

Logos: The Living Word
New Live Lecture by Ralph Miller!
Recorded live on March 16th, 2008 during our workshops in Brazil, listen to Ralph Miller lecture about the intelligence of nature and the origins of language.
"Ayahuasca activates the language centers in human consciousness. There is an ancient mystical Greek philosophy called the Logos. The Logos was 'the word'. Through the Logos, all things that came into being were made. The Greek mystics felt that there was a language that existed beyond three dimensional, temporal human language. That it would be a four or five dimensional language that can call into existence all that is."
DestinyNew Live Lecture by Ralph Miller!
Recorded live on September 2nd, 2007 during our workshops in Brazil, listen to a lecture by Ralph Miller about approaching our own individual Destiny.
Each of us look at the circumstances that brought us here and the desire to approach our own individual destiny. We agree to put one foot in front of the other towards something that we are completely ill prepared for. Our destiny is unavoidable. Our egos take great comfort in the belief that we have choice in the decisions that we make. But free will is ultimately not reconcilable with Destiny. Destiny is a place and a point where you will be without option. It is because of your own design and your own desire that you create your Destiny.

Appreciation from the HeartLecture by Warinei Wanare in Brazil on April 2nd, 2007
Recorded live from our last workshop in Brazil, listen to a lecture by Shaman Warinei Wanare about being grateful from our hearts. In this talk, Warinei reminds us that when we point our finger at others, three of our fingers are pointing at ourselves.
Always be grateful from you heart. It is one thing to be grateful from words, but it is another thing to be grateful from our hearts. To be grateful from our hearts we have to have a clean heart. We have to review our mistakes to remove them so the ancestral word can be born from this space, the world that comes from the origin.

Ayahuasca: Nature's Teacher article by Ralph Miller published in Four Corners Magazine (August 1st, 2006)
