Exhale in the epiphanic Embrace of Entheogens
What the colors of a rainbow are to form and emptiness, entheogens are to the micro and macrocosm; that is the synaptic link, gateway and still point between one another… Entheogens conduct the fractals of phenomena; from photons to galaxies and molecules to philosophies, into the evolutionary atmosphere life’s preciousness and death’s presence are the sensoryperceptual respiration… Beheld through the intake of psychotropic properties; also known as hallucinogens and psychedelics, entheogens process what the intercourse of relationship comes down and leads up to: coexistence… Coexistence grounds the inborn in the outward in the same way as mushrooms sprout and bloom from mycelium. The inborn contains the cause of any becoming that distinguishes humans from all other sentient beings on this planet… Poised to become consciously aware of their inborn nature, humans have the choice to either render themselves to this given cause that, effectively, spurs their increasing emergence from evolutionary embeddedness or else struggle against their encrypted trajectory with adverse consequences: anguish, suffering and despair… To become consciously aware of the inborn defines and directs the flourishing of humans from the first to their last breath. Void, pristine and clear as deep and dreamless sleep, the inborn comes to conscious awareness in the continuum of the ever-present origin: the here and now that bridges the past to the future in likewise manners as sexual intercourse bonds one another in irreversible ways...
To bond is to belonging what becoming is to the ever-present origin: the inborn that rests between the oscillating motions through which any human perpetually cycles on a daily basis; going from the conceptual, ideological and visual to the instinctual, biological and sexual and from the emotional, libidinal and sensual to the cerebral, lingual and logical… To genuinely experience, intimately behold and virtually witness the integral whole any one person orbits like a whirling dervish revolves around the gravity of motion, accounts for the merit and invaluable offering to ingest psychotropic properties. Their mutual intake, as sincerely done in the presence of a respective pole holder, prompts entheogens to temporarily light up; thus, ushering the inborn notion and noesis of integral wholeness to come to the forefront of conscious awareness … Conscious awareness is stratified according to the value sphere any person esteems in the spiral dynamics of human development. This is to say that the conscious awareness of one may look vaguely or very different from another while the notion and noesis of integral wholeness equates for everyone to the same: synergy… Synergy is to the intercourse of relationship what a pole holder is to the sincere intake of psychotropic properties. A pole holds the role the keel affords to a boat; preventing it from capsizing and being blown sideways in the wake of surfing the waters waves. Neither active nor passive but instrumental in passing through the wakeful, imaginal, cognitive and communicative motions of consciousness each and every one is a whole/part or holonic ontogenesis, a respective pole holder assures that those under the influence of psychotropic properties keep the ground under their feet…
Joyfulness as well as healing are derived from the same wellspring that causes constriction to give way to compassion, attachment to surrender and egocentrism to empathy, listening and intuition; namely the up close and personal encounter with the integral whole of coexistence for which entheogens make up... It matters not, as such, whether their momentarily enlightenment is brought about by the intake of psychotropic properties or the practice of mindful contemplation, for what matters is to exhale in the epiphanic embrace of entheogens… The fleeting and, as such, unsustainable enlightenment of entheogens is the cause for which psychotropic properties are, effectively, ingested. The thunder and lightning they are bound to induce not only make for novel vision-logical and neuro-linguistic pathways but also affords each and every one who freely decides to ingest them to relate to different genera and species than humans are confined to in and of themselves… To exhale in the epiphanic embrace of entheogens goes hand-in-hand with metabolizing the beheld experience had in the aftermath without which life’s preciousness and death’s presence bear no relevance for anyone. Experience bereft of reflection and metabolization results in the same emptiness as reducing the inborn to the outworn: vanity; that is the clusterfuck and catwalk of fanfare, fame and fanaticism…
