Social Sciences - Anthropology / sinopse de livro
Portuguese term or phrase: mirações
Em situação de doença ou sofrimento, muitas pessoas buscam uma religião. Não é diferente nas religiões ayahuasqueiras, cujos rituais são conhecidos por utilizar uma bebida à base de Ayahuasca, uma substância psicoativa. Pessoas em tratamento com Ayahuasca vivenciam e relatam mirações após o consumo da bebida, cuja eficácia – seja simbólica, seja física – tem sido bastante discutida.

visions


Explanation:
A Miração
O momento culminante de nosso trabalho é quando dentro da força do nosso sacramento, recebemos as visões, as quais denominamos mirações.Na miração não somos meros expectadores da nossa visão. Ao invés disso somos protagonistas de uma ação ue se passa num mundo real e ao mesmo tempo numinoso.Nesse estado é que somos convidados a apresentar nosso conhecimentoe aprender um pouquinho mais. O que decidimos e vivemos nesse plano, parece ter uma forte influência naquilo que consideramos ser nosso estado usual de consciência e de realidade.
