Romi Kumu: Gold is the Essence of the Sun that Guides the subterranean shamanic journeys

 For the Macuna, Gold is the Essence of the Sun that Guides the subterranean shamanic journeys, and so gold is in the ground for a reason.

So explains ethnobotanist Wade Davis in his new documentary on the future of life on Earth via the Northwest Amazon jungle cultures.

Romi Kumu is the sacred rock with the water flowing over her as the secret of life on Earth via spiritual energy.

 This land is small, spanning a matter of kilometres, yet packed with mystique. It centres on the rivers that are said to be formed of the blood and breast milk of a founding god, Romi Kumu. Their known world is bound by two nearby waterfalls, one of which is considered a ‘water door’ which links the land with the sky, and the other ‘a door of suffering’ that pours downwards into the world of the dead.

So they have to get special spiritual permission to eat any meat. 

 When men go to the forest to hunt or fish, it is never a trivial passage. First the shaman must travel in trance to negotiate with the masters of the animals, forging a mystical contract with the spirit guardians, an exchange based always on reciprocity.

It's very much an ayahausca culture where the plants are just people in other dimensions and spirits are everywhere, requiring communication and harmonization.

  In five extraordinary years he secured for the Indians of the Colombian Amazon legal land rights to an area of some 250,000 square kilometers, roughly the size of the United Kingdom, establishing 162 Resguardos altogether—titled lands that were encoded by law in the 1991 Political Constitution of the country. Nothing like this had ever been done by a nation-state.

The Indians’ origin myths vary but always speak of a great journey from the east, of sacred canoes brought up the Milk River from the east by enormous anacondas. Within the canoes were the first people, together with the three most important plants — coca, manioc, and yagé, gifts of Father Sun.

 So we have the Rainbow Serpent in the water as origin - with gold as alchemy - the yang sheng transformation of matter.

waterfalls that ran red with the menstrual blood of Romi Kumu, the Great Mother and progenitor of the earth.

Then, stealing the creative fire from the vagina of the Woman Shaman, they made love to her, and, fully satiated, rose into the heavens to become thunder and lightning.

Realizing that she was pregnant, Woman Shaman went downriver to the Water Door of the East, where she gave birth to the ancestral anaconda. In time the serpent retraced the harrowing journey of the Ayawa, returning in body and spirit to the riverbanks, waterfalls, and rocks, where it birthed the clan ancestors of the Barasana, Makuna, and all their neighbors.

So in the Netflix documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgVUalvLngo

Wade Davis shows the cave art that is now documented to be around  15,000 years old.

So this is very much Alchemy teachings from the San Bushmen culture - connecting Ayahausca to Yoga meditation as well!!

Amazing. Simply Stunning. The Kogi is similar.

La gente de la Anaconda por Wade Davis  

This lecture is in English even though most views are Spanish speakers. haha.

another lecture on Amazon

And yet incredibly there is ONE PLACE in the Amazon, in the ENtire basin of the Amazon, where the rhythm of these great civilizations can still be heard and felt, the homeland of an extraordinary complex of peoples, known as the Peoples of the Anaconda, in the northwest Amazon of Colombia.

So it makes sense that the original Alchemy teachings of the Gold in the Sun in the Subterranean Shamanic Journeys would be preserved ONLY in that original culture (and the Kogi also).

I remember that night I stayed up ALL the night, [chewing coca], as he taught me the first ideas I had about the Amazon. His most prized possession was a shaman necklace, a single strange of palm fiber threaded through a six inch crystal of quartz. He described it as both the penis and the crystallized semen of Father Sun; explaining that within it were 30 colors, all distinct energies that had to be balanced in sacred ritual.

There is no beginning and no end...no sense of linear time...

People who believe they came up the milk river in the belly of the sacred serpent to be regurgitated on the banks of the... in the northwest Amazon... they do not distinguish the color blue from the color green...

Wow - one tribe takes a drink equivalent to 25 cups of coffee - each morning!!

Did you try ayahuasca? Oh yes, many times.

What is it like? You are flung into other levels of reality so visceral, so tangible, so all-enveloping, that they become your sense of the real world. And you suddenly realize that the relatively mundane realm of ordinary consciousness is a crude facsimile of what awaits in the psychotropic trance. This and other experiences in the presence of people taken by the spirit left me with visceral evidence that cultural beliefs can really make for different human beings, that there are other ways of knowing, other levels of intuition, that cannot necessarily be understood through the filter of Cartesian logic.

What do you mean by “other ways of knowing”? When Schultes was in the Amazon in the 1940s, the Seona in Ecuador identified for him 17 varieties of ayahuasca liana, and all of them, to his Harvard-trained taxonomic eye, were the same species. When he finally asked them to give him lessons in the nature of their systematics, they looked at him like he was a fool and said, “Don’t you know anything about plants? Each one of these 17, when taken on the night of a full moon, will sing to you in a different key.” That’s not gonna get you a Ph.D. at Harvard, but it’s more interesting than counting flower parts.

The Forest Within - Wade Davis 

The past is present. There is no word for time, past present or future. The sacred sites today are inhabited by mythic beings.

As the men prepare Yaje [DMT-MAOI], as they prepare their bodies to become symbols of the spirits ...To make this particular corona for example necessitates men living  in the long house for over a month on a ritual diet, NOT being with their women...

Jan 23, 2020 - On this trip, Davis was joined by anthropologist Steven Hugh-Jones who had lived during the 60's among the Barasana. In the 80's he was part ...

Hugh-Jones explained to Wade Davis that there’s no beginning or end in Barasana thought, no linear progression of time, destiny, or fate. Every object is subject to many levels of intention and analysis – “a stool is not a symbol of a mountain, it is the mountain upon which sits the shaman.”

All of nature in these regions – the rivers, the trees, the mountains – is saturated with meaning and cosmological significance. For these tribes there is no separation between nature and culture.

These cosmological ideas have clear consequences, for example, no food can be eaten before it has passed through the hands of the shaman. Everything is grounded in reciprocity.
