Hey Now,For the life of me (who am I?), it is somewhat unclear whether the purification was due to the particular Medicine imbibed or whether the specific timing was responsible for the purity of the after experience. By "timing", I mean the way everything in the Universe just seems to align the voyager towards a life-shattering breakthrough... or not.
That mysterious, Divine factor which could be referred to as
Grace. You know, that wondrous juxtaposition between choosing and the chosen? I digress...
From all my past experiences, the depth of the breakthrough yields the greatest trans formative effects. In other words, it changes form plant-to-plant, as one travels through this mirage of light and vibration we refer to as,
Existence. All things being equal, I would say that any Medicine within the realm of
tryptamines & phenethylamines can gift such lasting internal attunement. And yet, without the accompanying spiritual practice to support this gift (sadhana), it would likely dissipate far more quickly. Meditation is key.
Does one Medicine could stand above any other in my estimation? Well, I've been on sabbatical for a few decades, so, Rising Spirit out-of-the-loop about many of the Medicines mentioned above (a veritable Rip Van Winkle). Yet, judging form my own medicine journeys... it would have to be the powerful experience of smoking DMT crystals, as I still feel partial-activation, even 13 months later!!! I continue to faintly hear the high ringing of the Carrier Wave and can slightly perceive the refracted light of the Grid, on a near daily basis. Since my initial merging with DMT, I have felt my crown chakra stirring around and buzzing, fairly regularly. Much more so than acid or anything else prior to the introduction with DMT. Obviously, it is more pronounced on some occasions and far less on others but there has been a continuum that is quite new for me. This was temporarily altered (fuzzed out) for a short stretch from experimenting with Salvia Divinorum. The connection seemed blurred but unbroken until a July mushroom journey, which re-activated the consciousness of the Living Current (the Tao). Frankly, I was worried that Lady Salvia had severed the awareness of said Current. She offered no similar breakthrough and purification. While I respect her power, I know that her ways are not really the same, nor is the
HEAD that Salvinorin A reveals, on the same super-spiritual level as tryps & phens. Still, there are many paths towards the One and many varied teachers.
I do believe that between the vine, the mushroom and the cactus... we have enough Medicines to fully purify the broken heart of the Wounded Healer. The Creator has but one purpose for these Sacred Medicines: to teach us to awaken unto our natural state of unity. Regardless of the chemical makeup of the Medicine, it's essentially the same internal voyage, arriving at the force or field of Oneness. The very same Indivisibility of pure Being. Still, no other entheogen has granted such a looooooong activation within this personal biochemistry as Dimitri. Crystalline activation within the pineal gland? I suspect it is truly something like that. Or maybe it's like yogurt culture, eh? A little spark to ignite harmony throughout the whole being? Hasn't died off since that first cosmic explosion and I haven't gone back to the well again. I would like to. I do suspect that Ganja and regular sitting meditation has a small role in maintaining the awareness of this breakthrough? Maryjane is a trickster, though. She seems to assist from time to time, as well as distract. So, I can't personally differentiate any distinct differences in my afterglow and/or purification from either: LSD, psilocybin, mescaline or DMT... but my physical body seems to harmonize the most with the mushrooms. No awful chemical taste or any unnatural elements to poison the body.
I have an appointment with this Mushroom Goddess pretty soon and I will be tuning-in to the same
Light of Lights, the same causal vibration and the same awakening from the restraints of illusory self. As always, I will be aiming towards the Thousand Petaled Lotus. Shrooms seem to have this same capacity of unite the many into the one,
Omniself/Godhead I will keep you all posted about the "purification" and afterglow effects of the merging.
Peace, Love & Light There is no self to which I cling, for I am one with everything.
