So many people dive into trying the spirit medicines thinking a party is just around the corner, only to find that they have stepped into a world view changing landscape that overwhelms them.  Such a large portion of society is teaching children that all drugs are bad and equally destructive to their lives and the education stops there.  The tribe mindset is a life of developing an understanding for young tribe members of why some plants and chemicals may have more positive effects on the mind than others; as well as how the conscious self reacts to them, reducing the overwhelming effect when they first take an ancient medicine, not as a party, but as a tool for individual development.  The gains that are occurring in raising awareness of the differences between certain kinds of drugs are amazing, I love to see the knowledge unfold.  When comparing things like LSD or mushrooms with heroin or cocaine, this growth in awareness will help guide the future choices made b...

In my youth I was given dreams that scared the daylights out of me.  I also had fun in some of them, but I remember the scary parts the most.  Dogs with elongated snouts, like a Sesame Street wolf chasing me into a dead end chain link fence tunnel where they would catch me.  Three separate werewolves hunting me; my uncle from he civil war, my brother and some ancient, thin, gray haired old wolfman who actually looked awesome, except for the fact that I was sure he was going to kill my.  The little man who pushed me off the ferris wheel a couple times.  Then I found the old white farm house; I would fall asleep seeing grass floating by my eyes, then it would be under my bed and we would be floating over the lawn next to the house.  It was haunted and I only went inside once or twice.  There was a big back lawn that ended in a slope with the blue grass land behind it where the monsters lived in one level houses, like a short suburbia.  If I went in...

I have been seeing someone pop up in he media recently, and some of their ideas make me think of past human actions that may have had erroneous ideas at there base.  This person has been pointing their finger at people that are outside what I would call their direct group of friends, saying that these outsiders are the cause of much strife and turmoil in the world.  This individual wants to put walls up to guard against these outsiders and keep them from becoming a part of their group; psychologically speaking, this concept of putting up walls is often a coping mechanism within an individual.  There are usually deeper reasons for these walls to be built and it takes a lot of time to work through why a person put them up and how to overcome the underlying issues behind their creation.  But I am no therapist, so I will not attempt to delve into the mind of this person or why they would feel the need to put up walls.     There have been many walls built thr...

While I was in my vision of the colorful orb with tentacle beams of consciousness pouring out of it and skipping along the surface of what seemed like a dark landscape of nothing, I felt the idea that the Big Bang was originally an explosion of thought, and from there the physical Big Bang was born.  Within my mind I often circle around the words "we are the image of God", and my understanding of that phrase is an image of a conscious, creative force.  I have seen animations similar to the orb with tentacles, but seeing it and realizing it from within are two completely different experiences.  The animation I remember most clearly is a semicircle with pointed tentacles waving about; it was nice to look at, but my own vision came with emotional feelings and a sense of connection mingled with understanding.  I felt at one with it and as a portion of it simultaneously, and I am pretty sure that the image represents where we all exist, in a wave of consciousness pouring...
