PICAFLOR

PICAFLOR is the sequel to SPIRIT MATTERS, an award winning memoir that won first place in the San Diego Book Awards Spiritual Book Category, and was an Award-Winning Finalist in the autobiography/memoir category of the National Best Book Awards. This continuation chronicles the two decades since of Matthew (Mateo) J. Pallamary’s adventures throughout the mountains, deserts, and jungles of North, Central, and South America pursuing his studies of shamanism and visionary experience working with plant medicines and shamanic plant diets, among them Ayahuasca, Peyote, San Pedro cactus and many more.

Picaflor picks up where Spirit Matters left off and is a road map of Mateo’s life and death struggles in his lifelong search for truth, healing, and transformation. This continuation further explores the way Spirit touches us in every moment of our existence and how most of us are caught up in the dramas that we have created in our lives, blinding us to a reality far greater than anything we can imagine with our rational minds and how this is all simply a matter of awareness.

We often feel lost and abandoned in a cold and uncaring world, but in truth we live in an illusion of our own self-created exile, away from the Source of our being which has never stopped loving us — unconditionally. Now more than ever the time has come to awaken and pass through the darkness of our fear induced slumber to embrace the light of truth and find our way back to the infinite light of love that comes to us from the Source of all creation.

Awareness through mindfulness is presence, which means being fully present, in the present, right here, right now, in this moment, standing in the light of truth, which is the greatest present anyone can receive in the form of inner peace and nonattachment.
