My relationship with the brew is due to openness and, despite nostalgy, I try to be realistic. I am white of the city and, for being raised under the shadow of the atomic bomb, swimming in pool in the nature. I don't want to dress in feathers to feel more compenetted with yajé. If I remain indigenitalist with yajé, it is for practical reasons that, as long as there is an indigenous knowledge, no matter its dilution, we must take advantage of it because it is good. It makes you vomit, face death, see strange spirits. It provides appetite, health, vitality and optimism. It is not sentimentality that I say: today there are many people who take yajé under such disconnected circumstances from the original sources that simply do not understand the intensity of the experiences I speak of. I do not deny that they have lights, but they are not those of the yajé we know, thanks to traditional taitas or their heirs of mestizo.
