The Botany of Desire
Here are some books I would llike to
recommend, and some thoughts to ponder...
Date: 10/31/2005 10:00:32 AM ( 19 y ) ... viewed 1156 times Woke up in the middle of the night
after a natural high from the Halloween party
we had here at the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community
in San Diego.
The high is helping me see deeper,
receive revelations, and "Re Mem Ber"
my Seed Dreams of what the Ideal would be
for Community Life here.
I want to write about that in another Blog.
"Getting high" is an interesting expression.
In the Map of Consciousness known as the Kabbalah,
a Science of Life interpreted through the RIght Brain--
the Intuitive Function--there are four named Worlds
each more and more boundariless,
as well as enfolded within each other, like a flower.
This concept of having everything enfolded
is addressed by David Bown in his book
"Wholeness and the Impication Order."
Some of the people who got really high on Bohm'
work in the 80's include Joseph Chilton Pearce
whose popularity began with the book
"The Crack in the Cosmic Egg."
His book "The Bond of Power" is a classic
for understanding Bohm and much more.
He writes, "The techniques of awakening Kundalini
range the spectrum of body/mind disciplines...
On Awakening, a whole continuum of possibility
unfolds that makes the effort worthwhile...
The alchemists referred to it as that which could turn
lead or dross into gold.
It can transform that which is common, the split, anxiety-ridden
social ego, into that which is rare and valuable--the whole self."
"We have within us a potential called Kundalini, our personal power,
which is an aspect of Shakti, the basic energy of the universe."
"The ancient Caduceus, the two serpents coiled about a staff
adopted by the medical profession from the winged messenger,
Mercury) was as representation of this energy."
Good communication--telling your all--also evokes
Mercury, and can help Kundalini rise.
There are a lot of Blogs on the Plant Your Dream Site
that discuss the Kabbalistic Model. The resource I enjoy
most is R. Ted Falcon's "A Journey of Awakening"
Kabbalistic Meditations on the Tree of Life.
Please go to the Essene School of Thought site
for order information, if you are drawn to this book
and review.

All the Worlds are created on Purpose.
Some call this world of 3D illusion.
Some Spiritual systems do this because
we have made much a mess of Heaven on Earth.
This World of 3D is a world of opportunity for Soul Growth.
In this world, we do function within the world of Knonos,
or Father Time, and yet, clearly there is no Time
that is with us with we are in the midst of an Altered State.
The Essene School of Thought (ESOT) shares
"More than Time for a way to calculate Personal Growth,
There is Patience and Experience."
In the moments between experiences, we have the opportunity
to Wake UP. Wisdom is the application of Knowledge to Experience.
There are many tools to "Get High."
In other words to break free of the limits of this World
of 3D.
There are many uses of plants that can assist
in this. Plants can connect us. They are still connected
to all Four Worlds.
There are many , more things I would like to say about this.
For an excellent treatise on the History of Marijuana
told by an excellent writer, I would like to recommend
"The Botany of Desire." by Michael Pollan.
