words are a challenge for me lately. i find myself avoiding conversations even with people i know and love. i don't write at all. my email inbox has about 50 starred items to be responded to....yet...i simply can't stomach trying to convey my feelings with their myriad meanings into such a crude and painfully insufficient medium as 'words'. i find myself more and more wanting to simply sit with people. no talking. just being present. it's hard...
the world for me has changed. my experience of life and, more distinctly, my fellow human has been shifted to a place of great vulnerability...and great power. i 'see' people in a way i never knew i could, or had only seen glimpses of in abstract hyperspace downloads. the multitude of things once sensed yet now being in my continual waking consciousness has me both invigorated and a little freaked out still. i most definitely have moments in every day where i wish i could just go back to how i was. to that unfulfilled, frustrating, familiar life. at least i knew on some level what was always coming next!
last weekend something quite amazing took place. something i want to share with you all...
for some time now, i have worked with people here in my healing space. i am committed to transformation and the courageous souls who walk this path. i have put all of my resources, financial, emotional, physical and spiritual into creating an environment that would bring about the deepest sense of peace and completely handle the 'setting' aspect of a positive journey.
i wasn't exactly sure how to handle another person's 'set' , so i simply focussed on the space and my own work- that i might be at the very least a living representation of the positive growth that DMT is capable of facilitating.
...and then i went to the jungle....
i came back new. complete. lost but with an undeniable cargo. my teachers told me as much and made it clear that i would need to return many times to learn how to wield this 'jaguar on a chain' . it was made understood that as long as i held on and never let the chain go (ie: try to go back to an old life that was no longer there anyways) i would have this power within me that i could use to clear all blockages and, more importantly, to heal.
if i let go of the chain...the jaguar would immediately turn around and consume me. (ie: madness).
so back to the story. one of my clients here had given my name to a group of amazing individuals that were planning a deep meditation retreat in northern california and were looking for a 'guide' to facilitate. i committed to do this work a few weeks before leaving for costa rica. i thought it would be great to bring the teachings i could glean from the seicoya back and add them to my already-established style.
i had no idea i was going to go through what i went through.
i thought about cancelling. i really did. how could i go do something that would require so much of myself when i was in such a state?? i needed more time to integrate. i needed so much.... i just wasn't ready..
but a voice in me said to go. to be of service. to get out of myself and let what was awakened within me do it's thing. that it would ultimately end up being a part of my integration.
and now the tears come as i type. what it turned out to be was an activation of something i had brought back with me alright. more like a galvanizing of what my heart
knew was within...
i did healing work in as much of the seicoya tradition as i had learned. i worked on 20 people over the course of 3 days and each and every one was a world unto themselves. with all of them, i began with a guided meditation based on tantric principles i have long used to awaken my own chakra system and begin the flow of energy throughout the energetic body. a thorough explanation of the technique of journeying i had learned followed the meditation and then, finally, the journey itself.
and then i went to work...
what i channeled through me and allowed to take place with each and every person was sacred and healing for both of us. i learned enough about myself, my path, my gift and my responsiblity to make it plainly clear to even my smallest mind that this is what i am meant to do. the tears, the purging, the healing and transformation of each and every one of these beautiful, righteous brothers and sisters was a gift beyond measure and in the end, i had bonded with a new family. a community as beautiful as the cosmic energy from which they all emerged. i was home.
in one particular journey, a decent-sized dose of spice was left behind in the genie as the person laid back. i thought about it for a moment and was told by my highest self to take it...
i started to breakthrough in a very powerful way and with the last bit of reamining 'me' i had, i asked to be allowed to stay in my body to heal the person who lay before me...
what happened next was truly profound. my entire body disappeared.
all i could see was an indescribably beautiful golden outline of my body with nothing within it's borders. i gazed at this in awe and realized that i could enter the person's body in front of me.
i put my hand inside his energetic body and began to 'iron' it! every time my hand went over a major chakra point, i would stop, focus, and literally SEE the chakra open and begin pulsing!! it was incredible and lasted a long time. i returned just before he did and when he sat up, he looked right at me and told me that for the entirety of his journey, he saw my face flowing in and out of him.
we both hugged and cried for a long time. i never dreamed of something like this being possible. i am still moved to this day. as with all the people i worked with, a good 30 minutes or more was spent processing and discussing. only when he was ready did we go downstairs and rejoin the group. it went like this the whole weekend...
an amazingly generous donation was made towards the completion of my healing space back down in l.a. which i promptly did upon return. Uncle Knucles will be taking some pro-style photos soon and posting for all to enjoy....and for all to consider coming for a visit. this is my work now. this is what i am committed to.
DMT has played such a massive role in my awakening. it has taught me things about my self and how to surrender that self when necessary....i simply would have never returned from where i went on that fated night in the jungle. the seicoya told me that my soul was ready to make that journey so deep into the spirit world. that it was so ready, in fact, that it was willing to risk losing the mind attached to it in this life. that the fact that i was able to return after so many lifetimes elsewhere and to have been able to return with my mind was the sign of a healer's path. that what i went through enabled me to now have compassion of ALL beings. because, ultimately, i touched upon the suffering that all souls must go through at some point in their evolution.
you don't go through that just so you can return to this world and say, "hey man, i did it! good luck doing it yourself!" no- it is part and parcel of seeing so much that i must (yes, MUST) help others on their way toward that same crushing-yet-liberating infinity of annihilation. i can't go through it for anyone, obviously. but i CAN help prepare those who are on that path. DMT is the greatest tool i know for this. going deeper and deeper in a clearly-guided way with DMT truly defines plato's command to "practice dying".
i stand for this work.
from this one magical weekend, i have had the pledge from almost all people involved that they will be coming down and working with me on a regular basis. as well- other groups that they are affiliated with have been informed of the success of the weekend and i will be flying to chicago and switzerland in the next couple months to carry on the work. it is sustaining itself now. i simply do my work and commit to being completely present and the rest with resolve itself.
i am going back to the seicoya in july. google 'guaria de osa' and check out their calendar to find the exact dates. i cannot say enough how much it would mean to me to meet more beautiful fellow nexians in this context. heyguyman and saidin are both bonded with me for life as a result of the first council gathering. i will be at them all henceforth so please try to come out to one. these righteous beings are old and won't be around forever....what they have to share and teach will transform your life in a way that no simple DMT journey ever could (with absolutely NO disrespect to the molecule intended!). it is simply much more than imbibing the molecule with these guys....that's only the beginning. what comes next is what your soul has always hungered for, i promise you this...
oh- and the best part of my retreat? every single one of my new community are professional life-coaches! HAHAHA!! so here comes ol' antrocles....all raw and lost and containing something powerful but no idea how to live a life that allows him to give this gift in any sustainable manner and BOOM! he's surrounded by (and healing!) people who all commit to help him become successful on this new path!!!
coincidence?
is there really such a thing?
i love you all very much and i will certainly keep you in the loop as my path unfolds!
with the deepest love and gratitude!!!
