Never-before-seen footage of uncontacted tribe warriors

[TheBG]

I found this video and felt as though it was a good example of stage purple-red spiral dynamics. It is cool to see how they operate in these stages, but not just in theory.

Let me know what you think of it

Watched the whole episode yesterday. Really cool. 

I wouldn't try to fit them in SD tho. In many ways there are many times more spiritual than city people.

@Salvijus Wouldn't this be tribalism? You can still have spiritual elements within that, or did I get that wrong?

I did a plant diet in Peru from a shaman who, when he was young, went deep into the Amazon and  lived with an indigenous tribe that lived next door to the uncontacted tribes.  An elder shaman there taught him how to use the plant medicines and ayahuasca.   I never asked him whether the uncontacted tribes also knew about ayahuasca.  The jungle is really amazing.  That area has been traumatized by history and the rubber barons.

@Jodistrict that's so cool! How was your experience with that Shaman?

 

Could you talk more about how the area got traumatized? I'm unaware of this stuff right now. I did look up rubber barons though

I did a two week plant diet with the shaman in the jungle, which was a minimal diet on rice and beans while drinking various plants for purging, and then doing black ayahausca.

As for the trauma, here is a summary: 

The rubber boom in Peru (roughly 1880s-1910s) brought horrific brutality to indigenous Amazonians, particularly in regions like Putumayo. Here's what happened:

Forced labor system - Rubber barons and their companies enslaved indigenous people to tap rubber trees in the jungle. They were forced to meet impossible quotas, working under threat of violence.

Systematic atrocities - Those who failed to meet quotas, tried to escape, or resisted faced torture, mutilation, and murder. Women and children were taken as hostages to force men to work. Sexual violence was widespread. Some estimates suggest tens of thousands died.

Starvation and disease - Workers were often deliberately underfed, and European diseases decimated communities with no immunity.

Cultural destruction - Entire indigenous communities were displaced, destroyed, or scattered. Traditional ways of life were shattered as people were forced into this brutal extraction economy.

Key perpetrators - The Peruvian Amazon Company, run by Julio César Arana, became internationally infamous after reports by British consul Roger Casement exposed the atrocities in 1910-1912, sparking international outrage.

The trauma from this period had lasting effects on indigenous communities - population collapse, loss of cultural knowledge, ongoing distrust of outsiders, and intergenerational trauma that persists today.

Why do they forget? Why do they not talk about it?

What you're seeing here is pre-orange spirituality. The problem is that pre-orange spirituality is typically dogmatic. I have recently begun to notice the role that leading questions and thought terminating cliches play in evangelical Christianity. Stage orange is typically detrimental to spirituality, but it is doing away with the spirituality that is dogmatic.

A trait of purple is spirituality
