Post subject: and the terrifying thing ....
And the terrifying thing flow is that there are not many people at all out there who have your grasp on the situation or the enormity of the problem.
You touched on a valuable point. This has been used for centuries to reach a part of the brain that would not normally be receptive. It gave passage to some into the spirit world where they could learn and then report to " their " side ...... What then might happen if those drugs were not needed someday and if that communication could find its way directly to each individual.
So, you are not only talking arms cartels and powerful military and economic interests you are talking about opening an ancient path of communication that has been previously available only to shaman and seer cultures. Twisted and obscured since its first notice. And what will that mean? twigsnapper
If I had not spent a good portion of my life studying religio-spiritual traditions, including tribal and shamanic practicies --and then picking a tradition and practicing myself -- I would like many of my friends would, have simply discounted Flow's post about the uses of such natural substances as valid, useful and sacred.
Likewise, if I had not spent most of the last three years researching alternative and suppressed financial, political and economic histories, political analysis, "follow-the-money" economic and black budget sites I would also have discounted Mr. Twigsnapper's assertions above--or at least would have simply glossed them as "yeah well so what else is new?"
But now because I have a deeper and more visceral grasp of both aspects, I find it almost impossible to have a real conversation with anyone I know or am related to, because these things are so outside their "normal" range of knowledge or even what they consider comfortable to consider or discuss.
So this "other terrifying thing" is that even with those we are close to, because the prevailing information has for so long been counter to these spiritual, historical and economic truths, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to draw a person newly into such an understanding. Unless they are driven to find out for themselves. And those folks I find few and far between--and when you do find them they are true gems.
For me, it became immensely tiring and depressing to try to have such conversations, and after a while have pretty much quit trying to talk about this sort of thing with anyone I know in my day-to-day life. Which is part of why this forum and its members are so important to me.
Thanks so much to each of you for being open to consider and discuss...all the things we consider here.
Warmly,
