We Go Together

These substances have profound ego-dissolving properties that can reset the mind, body and soul of the user, connecting to something greater. Healing may result, almost as a by-product of the experience in its multi-dimensional entirety. And yet at the heart of that process is a thing often overlooked as an almost regrettable incidental to the scientific paradigm: a multi-dimensional universe leading all the way back to the Divine within.

When Humphrey Osmond coined the term "psychedelic" ("To fathom Hell or soar angelic, Just take a pinch of psychedelic") back in the 1950s, he did so to differentiate from the cultural labels of the time, like "psychomimetic" or "hallucinogen", which had negative mental health connotations. He understood that these experiences weren't hallucinations – they were revelations. Osmond meant "psychedelics" to mean "mind revealing, or manifesting", and even then, one must inquire what aspects of the mind he intended the term to encapsulate.

The Greek for Psyche is better translated as "soul" – but, presumably, 1950s academia couldn't handle that – so translated it as "mind". By the late 1970s when psychedelics were still stigmatized and under-capitalized, ethnobotanists rebranded these substances (especially the plant and fungi psychoactives) made by nature as "entheogens", from the Greek, meaning to "invoke the Divine within".

The term was also a tip of the hat to the indigenous peoples that continued to use plant-based psychoactives in ceremonial contexts for millennia, caretaking them and their relationship with the earth. Entheogens also pointed towards the historical possibilities of altered states at the heart of the world's major religions.

For instance: the original gnostic Christianity has been examined by many writers through the lens of a mushroom cult (the most famous claims perhaps, were from John Allegro, a Dead Sea Scrolls researcher); the Hindus related their drug taking 5,000 years ago in their holy book, the Rig Veda: "We drank soma, we became immortal, we came to the light, we found gods"; the list goes on.

And yet, this is all a far cry from our modern era, where mainstream business sites now gush about the revolutionary potentials of microdosing psychedelics to boost corporate efficiency and optimization, or to provide a hip lifestyle hack for optimal mental health (just don't macro your micro).

The return of psychedelics to the medical fold is a necessary one to combat the mental health crisis of the modern world. Unfortunately, psychedelics no longer seem to hold the utopian goal to transform the world, or at least our dysfunctional relationship with it.

This says more about us than it does about psychedelics, for if they are mind-manifesting, they simply bring out what we have inside already, whether that be trauma, greed, or enlightenment. It's all set and setting, after all.

Beyond the corporate psychedelic healing model and the psychedelic billionaires and their trickle-down promises of revolutionizing a crippled medical health system, what then? Are we finally ready for the next step?

So, to a large degree, what we're seeing is the permeability of psychedelics back into the Western model, entering into the capitalist mainframe and blending with the whole medical PTSD trauma release paradigm. Which is all good and well, and the trials are having a great success rate with these medicines, which means we really do need to start anticipating what's next, after the trauma and the healing.

18 Sept 2023 — MAPP2 study results showed significant improvement of symptoms in nearly 90 percent of subjects who underwent the therapy. If the drug receives ...

The 18-week Phase 3 MAPP2 trial is the first study to investigate MDMA-assisted therapy for moderate-to-severe PTSD. Yale researcher Jennifer E. Mitchell led the trial as part of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) program. Researchers randomly assigned 104 participants with diverse backgrounds to receive either MDMA with conventional therapy or a placebo with therapy. Nearly 90 percent of subjects who took the special MDMA-assisted therapy reported significant improvement. Almost half were considered fully recovered by the end of the trial. In comparison, in the group that didn't get the MDMA therapy, only about 21 percent of subjects reached full recovery.

And that's just MDMA within the medical system. Ayahuasca and other earth medicines are known for their cathartic potential but the literally millions of people that have experienced healing from plant medicines are less visible, the majority of which may have travelled to other countries like South America or Mexico, and are outside the western Big Pharma model.

So for all the new people coming through their trauma cycle, there's an output of people that are healed to a degree that then need a platform or some type of glue to keep them together as a community. This is the focus of this talk – what's beyond the medical model, how do we work with plant medicines and shamanism and our connection to the earth in containers that don't need us to be sick to engage with them? What if we want to grow, to evolve, to embody? What does all this mean for our sense of identity and possibility as humans?

Now remembering the medical model for psychedelics evolved back in the 1950s as the CIA distributed LSD to therapists to sort of experiment on their patients as part of the well documented MK ULTRA experiments. But the CIA didn't stop at the psychiatrists couch. They also flooded the Haight Ashbury and set in motion the communal intake of LSD in the burgeoning counter culture of the time.

They kind of kickstarted the accessability that was then filtered into different cultural containers, whether that be personal or small groups of friends tripping together, or large groups of people tripping together at events like the Acid Tests, or the Summer of Love, or any of these gatherings that really cemented an alternative culture into being with different value systems that the capitalist West.

And within these mass gatherings of people in altered states there was undoubtedly healing and trauma release, but that was kind of overshadowed by other facets of the psychedelic experience, like the communitas. The group mind.

So, Ken Kesey, as we probably all know, was a famous writer and author in the early 1960s.He was actually involved in a CIA-funded hospital exploration with LSD, he was paid money to take LSD and other substances to explore their effects on his consciousness by therapists funded by the CIA.

And luckily, he groked it. He saw beyond the medical establishment, he saw beyond the lab coats and their 10-point questionnaires while he was tripping balls and he realized that these substances were basically the Promethean lightning from the gods that really had to get out there to the people.

He later got a job at this hospital as a cleaner, which is where a lot of the inspiration for his book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest came from. He liberally helped himself to the LSD capsules in the doctor's cabinet. And he got these substances out to his friends in the literary community, in the alternative counter-cultural community on the west coast where he was staying.

And basically, they formed the first prototype group minds in the west that really replicate that indigenous tribal group mine that people would do when they tripped on entheogens in a group setting en masse.

This idea of the whole village tripping together has really largely been lost in the West since the repression of the other and the repression of the psychedelic experience, probably last seen en masse in the Greek Mysteries of Eleusius, in the Greek experience or when underground in the mystery schools.

But in the modern western experience, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters were some of the first. There were some psychotherapy gestalt experiences done in psychotherapy establishments in the west coast. But en masse, Ken Kesey and what was to very soon become his group of the Merry Pranksters started to trip together and experiment together into group minds.

Martin A. Lee in the book "Acid Dreams" goes on to quote the Merry Pranksters and the idea of Ken Kesey's experiments by saying: "the idea was really to go further, to explore the unknown, to feel no limit as to what might be discovered and expressed on acid. It was in this sense that a mission was taking shape amongst the pranksters. It had nothing to do with the salvation of the world. It was more a feeling, a sinking together that created an atmosphere of creeping religiosity. As a group they searched for a unified consciousness that would outstrip once and for all the pseudo -reality they'd left behind."

It was of course what they call the group mind. Now it's a very delicate thing, the group mind. The Pranksters dabbled with it in the 1960s. The hippies experimented on mass with it in their Be-Ins, in their love-ins, in the Summer of Love, in their mass gatherings where they would gather together tens of thousands of people on acid, but it's always hard to get that circuit of energy that cohesion together the larger the group is.

Ken Kesey said about group minds and the Acid Test: "cosmic control is something that we're searching for and have been for a long time. Each time it builds it's bigger and it's stronger and then you find out about Cosmo and you discover that he's running the show. The Unspoken Thing." All the Pranksters were conscious of it but none of them put it into words as I say. They made a point of not putting it into words. That in itself is one of the unspoken rules. "If you label it this then it can't be that" and that's Tom Wolf talking in the Electric Kool -Aid Acid Test.

Kesey realized the incredible sensitivity of the group mind meant that basically the second law of thermodynamics was very potent with it, that any energy put on it would have an equal and an inverse effect. So, the way to hold the circuit of the group mind was to not try to do it but to create that canvas in the Acid Test that allowed the group to come together with a few choice facilitators who were actively not trying to facilitate that group mind.

Now, the Pranksters as they experimented with group mind, often found that they would experience powers quite attributable to superpowers like these superheroes. When they were heavily tripling on acid for days, weeks, even years on and off at a time, and getting into this group mind, they would find that they would finish each other's sentences, that there would be continual synchronicities, that they could work under acid under normal conditions.

They basically got these mind powers like Indian saddhus, almost like Jedi-mind tricks. They could steer the mind, they could appear invisible to people looking for them. They could just do things with their mind that were not possible without the acid.

Now the Indian saddhus have documented these abilities quite well. They call them siddhis. They call them the distractions or the lesser powers in the Vedic mythology. There's quite an awareness in different cultures of the ability of the mind to have powers beyond the normal ken of man. And the Pranksters stumbled across this old magic, this ability to get into these frames of reference where they could do more with their mind than individually.

The Pranksters, Ken Kesey and the Electric Kool-Aid that Bear Owsley helped provide, turned on hundreds of people in sessions called the "Acid Tests", which evolved out of their private parties they had into giant carnivals with videotapes, flashing strobes, improvised rock and roll, and the core of that was the Grateful Dead, of course, who went on to their own long-term career as a psychedelic rock band and lots of bizarre costumes and dancing.

Here's a quote from "Acid Dreams" again about the Acid Tests: "The acid tests were the epoch of the psychedelic style and practically everything that has gone into it. I don't mean merely the Pranksters did it first, but rather that it all came straight out of the Acid Tests in a direct line leading to the Trips Festival of January 1966. That brought the whole thing full out into the open, mixed media entertainment, this came straight out of the Acid Test combination of light and movie projections, strobes, tapes, rock and roll, black light, acid rock, the sound of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's album, and the high vibrato electronic sounds of the Jefferson Airplane, the Mothers of Invention, and many other groups, the Mothers of It All, with the Grateful Dead, at the Acid Tests."

Now, the Acid Tests basically reclaimed part of what McKenna was to call the "archaic revival". They brought back this idea of tribality, of the tribe coming together, dancing and trancing, and being in an altered state, and having this, you know, this cohesion of basically the group mind. So, what I'm trying to suggest here is that something that's often overlooked in psychedelic history: we look at the medical effects, we look at the anthropological effects, but we forget there's deeper psychic effects that happen to the culture and of templates that came through at this time, and I think one of the most important ones has been this idea of the group mind.

Now of course, tribality and tripping together as a community predates the 1960s and can be traced all the way back to the indigenous tribes of the old world. The ancestors. They did –and still do–use plant and earth medicines for healing and connection, but also for strategic use – whether that was visualizing the animals they were hunting, seeing into the future or even more accurately, manifesting the future where they caught game. This is reported often in anthropological literature. But more than even that, the indigenous would take earth medicines and make magic. Listen:

There's some stories of the shamans of Peru when villagers trip when they all see the same purple, violet, viscous superfluid that comes out of people's mouths and they sing objects into existence or they all share a communal navigation through hyperspace where they're all consensually agreeing that they're all seeing the same thing.

McKenna quoting about the ayahuasca tribes in the Amazon tripping as a collective, singing a purple viscous superfluid and sculpting objects from sound: https://terencemckennaarchives.com/tag/violet-psychofluid/

Chapter 6: An Experiment at La Chorrera: During the course of our investigation of the shamanic dimension, our attention was drawn to a report of ayahuasca usage among the Jivaro (Harner 1968); the shamans, under the influence of potent monamine oxidase-inhibiting, harmine- and tryptamine-containing Banisteriopsis infusions, are said to produce a fluorescent violet substance by means of which they accomplish their magic. Though invisible to ordinary perception, this fluid is said to be visible to anyone who has ingested the infusion.

Terence later clarified that:

Luis Eduardo Luna…has talked about this in numerous of his more scholarly publications. What is claimed is that there are, among very unacculturated people, a habit, when intoxicated on ayahuasca, of vomiting a material, and then, what's said of it is that it's blue, that the shamans use it to accomplish all of their magic, and that when you spread it out on the bottom of a flat bowl that you can see the future in it or the past in it.

So this anchors indigenous wisdom and this perspective of connection to the Gaian Intelligence collectively. This is reminiscent of the ayahuasca songs or icaros, but it would have a collective intelligence that would vibrationally resonate together into something greater. Something was transmitting through them–as a collective.

SO THIS IS POSSIBILITY #3: MAKE MAGIC. TOGETHER.

Now I've seen this gestalt consciousness of the group organism before, most strongly in group work with 5-MeO-DMT.

Out of all the psychedelic substances 5-MeO-DMT is arguably the most powerful. It can be made in a lab or found in nature – and it is also produced in the human body.

5-MeO-DMT lowers the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the electrical activity in the frontal lobes of the brain, helping to dissolve the Ego and reveal the "Divine" within. Unlike other entheogens and psychedelics, 5-MeO-DMT doesn't create an external journey, but the deepest internal one – the journey of revealing who you truly are beyond the ego structure.

Other cultures have pathways to lower the egoic mind – the East is full of meditations, breathworks and maps on how to do this, and terms like "samadhi" that mean merging back with a single point of focus into the awareness of Oneness, or non-duality.

5-MeO-DMT from an external source can instantly arrive at what has previously taken years of struggle to reveal: what's behind the mind. And then, the homework is to discover how you can access and be in relationship with this deeper aspect of your nature.

There is a whole generation now of people that have experienced 5-MeO–DMT, especially with the rise of the Bufo alvarius toad medicine coming out of Mexico in the last decade. There's basically a network all across the planet of people that have had this experience and the next step is working together to keep that space open within.

It's like a "samadhi" mesh-network, a growing bandwidth of consciousness that gets stronger the more people open that space within themselves.

It's like a satellite dish opens up FROM the collective group mind, to the awareness that we are a greater organism, which breaks down individuality and the Ego itself into the collective wego. We become a satellite dish of consciousness stronger than the individual parts. More BANDWITH as a collective.

Encyclopedia Britannica says: "The ego in psychoanalytic theory is the portion of the human personality which is experienced as the self or the "I", and is in contact with the external world through perception."

So, you know, this is the fundamental filter. This is – it's a little bit different from the mind itself, I believe. It's this fine grading of our operating system which has a consciousness and has this program of the mind running on it. And we also seem to have another app running on the operating system: which seems to be this Ego.

The egoic consciousness we have today feels a lot like a species defense mechanism. And it implies that something happened to us that has brought the Ego in its modern form to the fore.

So, the Ego is essentially not just your sense of identity, it's how we navigate, right? It's how we choose to go left or right. It's how we chose to avoid the man-eating saber tooth tiger or how we choose to do problem solving – and it's protecting us. So sometimes this arises in the psychedelic experience where some people can experience fear because the mind – the egoic mind – is protecting us from the unknown, from the ego dissolving-ness which is exactly what happens in the psychedelic experience!

And when we trip together, that's when the group mind emerges, the WEGO.

What to DO with ourselves once we understand our place in the world? Well, we become essentially 'psychedelic indigenous'. That we've re-sensitized and re-sacralized our connection to the planet, to the awareness of the web of life, to the feeling of the flow of energy and the divine that is manifest.

And when we feel that collectively, we entrain that in each other. If we just go back to the 9 to -to -5, the 9 -to -5 entrains us. So the next step is to have a collective platform to maintain and keep the signal on, to go from Ego to wego, the group consciousness.

All around the planet the earth secretes psychoactive substances which by no coincidence directly interact with the neurochemical locks in our brain. They open us up to the infinite spectrum of consciousness which is the expression of the energetic ecology of the planet as she continues into unseen realms. There's a deep process underway where we're relearning and remembering what we've forgotten.

Back in the psychedelic heydays of the 1960s through to the 1990s different philosophers like the poet Gerald Heard, the alchemist and LSD-king Stanley Owsley, and raconteur Terence McKenna all promoted holistic whole-systems theories of the earth and why she secreted psychedelic substances.

Generally, their idea held that these substances, like ayahuasca, San Pedro cactus, the Bufo alvarius toad, morning glory seeds, iboga root, psilocybin mushrooms – and the list goes on – which indigenous peoples see as sacred medicines – not drugs – were something that is secreted by the planet herself. And the planet does not make mistakes.

McKenna quipped "the planet had a plan involving the plants", showing that it's all connected even in the etymology of the words, and that essentially these substances act as inter-species mediators or communicators of consciousness from one species to another. Which is how species grow and are instructed of their place in the overall web. That relationship between the plants, the planet and the people is essentially what indigenous people have been saying exists, and which is mediated through their vegetal technologies.

If these substances are really exo-pheremones of nature that regulate her species, then the ego-dissolving properties are no coincidence, but the prominent functionality. Look at insects and bird mumurations, on the collective intelligence in nature.

And so if mother earth's natural psychedelics are part of her secretions, what happens when mother earth herself changes?

Global warming, Gaian changes, extreme weather etc., all filtered through magnetic field dropping. Auroras etc.

So here's the thing. Mother Earth / Gaia is alive and intelligent and part of an interdependent galactic ecosystem and the energies that are coming in are stirring up everything. We have entered the end of the old world and the event horizon of the new.

The magnetic field is dropping on the earth and the Sun is going through its solar sunspot maximum / solar cycle 25 at the moment. When the magnetic field drops, the solar flares are felt much more strongly. There's an incredibly statistical increased likelihood of a mass coronal solar flare ejection, which could essentially flatline all the electromagnetic web: so the whole infrastructure of the modern age, the whole internet and everything along with it could go down in the coming years.

The energy that is coming in from galactic sources is increasing the warming which we are also contributing to. The Arctic is warming and at unprecedented rate and the permafrost is releasing massive amounts of methane gas, which is 80 % stronger than carbon dioxide in the short term, trapped in the upper atmosphere.

Everything is exponentially speeding up to a tipping point, which is meant to happen in geological time. This is like the sixth great species extinction. Yes, most species seem to die off, but there's intelligence in nature which regenerates, you know, the new thing as being born.

We are invited into this collective relationship with Gaia and I think it's the reason why psychedelics have arrived via the lab and then via the relationship with plant medicines and indigenous cultures in the last few generations. All the way back to the 1940s or so, there's been this re-sensitization because it's paralleling this planetary breakdown and then rebuilding it.

And so we've crossed, you know, eight of the ten tipping points, everything is exponentially speeding up. We've entered what Terence McKennna, the Great Bard called the 'birth canal'.

And this psychedelic and shamanic opening to these intelligences embedded in nature is part and parcel of this breakdown and rebirth. So we're meant to be doing this at this time and the invitation and the collective entrainment is possible.

The Ego of humanity that has contributed to creating the problem will not fix the problem. We have become so distanced from the living essence of the planet that we're still in denial about the emergency, and what may emerge from it.

So, while the extreme weather: the floods, fires, earthquakes, crop failures etc. are increasing, the poles are melting and the magnetic fields are dropping, everything seems out of control. Things are getting apocalyptic and there's a rising panic and fear in the global consciousness. But we're a plant medicine community – surely what's happening on the outside reminds you of your journeywork on the inside?

Haven't you felt all those same feelings in your plant or earth medicine journey? The fear, anxiousness, the introspection, the awareness that there's a sickness that needs to come out? Sometimes what the medicine experiences can teach us is that fear is the product of the mind. And the mind is controlling and wanting everything to be normal, to be okay. And yet that same mind has actually created or contributed to the problem by its dysfunctional relationship with the earth.

In the indigenous understanding with plant and earth medicines you're not just going into your own mind – you're going into sort of an astral realm or the DMT frequencies or a frequency of consciousness where there are other beings, including all the divas and intelligences and spirits of the earth. So that community is there on the inside in "hyperspace," and we can connect to the doctores or the teachers, the helping spirits.

Surely as other emanations of the world soul, they may know what's going on. Perhaps re-connecting to them on a collective level is part of the birthing?

So many of the indigenous cultures say this world is the dream. This is what David Bohm, the quantum physicist said. This world is the Explicate created from the Implicate, which has projected it out like a holographic virtual 3d simulated dance of Maya. So this is what all these cultures are saying. They just use different language for saying the same thing. We're here in this thing but we come to a crescendo point where we graduate from it, where we master the higher faculties and the abilities to connect.

The Shipibo for instance, in the Amazon have a shamanic cosmovision that believes the world shown in the ayahuasca visions is the real world, the originating plane, and that our world is the dream. Traditional shamanic maps of reality from Asia to the Americas posit an Upper World (Heaven) Middle and Lower World (Underworld).

The late African American elder Kallindi, who worked with massive doses of 30g and more of magic mushrooms, suggested we are being invited to inhabit innerspace.

In this way consciousness itself can receive more consciousness: a bigger bandwidth that enables a hyper-dimensional awareness of multi -dimensionality, or as the indigenous might understand in their cosmology: there are other levels, e.g.: the upper worlds, the lower worlds, the elemental worlds–there's many ways to slice it.

I suggest we are going through the birth canal into the next phase of our souls growth and reality, which is what the indigenous cultures of the world have seen: that there's greater hyper dimensionality, there are worlds beyond this that we can vibrationally attune to and we can step into and participate in. You know, this grand collective meta dreaming. And to do so we just need the vision and the will.

Meet-ups, Psychedelic Societies, community building. Start mobilizing the VISION. Action together. In fact, you know, the idea is to move across the platforms and see the commonalities and to just weave together what is already there. It's like skimming the surface of all the apex spiritual communities and supporting the kind of blooming of what is beyond what is just called the Psychedelic Renaissance into a cultural spiritual renaissance that is part of this collectivism and the catalyst of these times which are rapidly changing.

So, without getting all 60s revolutionary here, I ask: what could we do to step into this ecodelic entrainment right now? Well, just imagine if all the global psychedelic integration groups, the Psychedelic Societies, the meet ups and the like, organized ongoing nature walks, microdosing – gasp – even macro dosing, on psychedelics? What if the integration specialists acted as guardians for the participants in strategic immersions back to the great green womb? To forest bathe, to awe, to re-enchant?

Ecodelics

First one must feel the connection to nature, if one is to know what one is fighting and loving for. Tripping in the cities, in therapist's offices with their patented hand-holding and proprietary blindfolds, is containment, not entrainment. How hard would it to be as small groups or friends, or these affinity groups, to do nothing more than return to nature together, with guidance, and to renew the sacred vows? That feels like a seedbed.

Taking psychedelics in nature then, is just the first step to overturn the dominant capitalist paradigm destroying the planet: but it has to start somewhere, and in the heart is the best place of all.

Now people will get all consternated and say well we've been fighting for academic and social legitimacy but listen: this is a walk in the woods. And there's a reason to start this entrainment, because things are heating up, literally, in the world, and we need to find ourselves, not just individually but collectively.

Where is our tribe, our people? I'm talking about getting back to nature in a safe and contained way and exploring your connection with where you come from. To be seekers of the Great Mystery, together.

So I suggest, like the tribe in the Amazon that was doing the ayahuasca together and vibrationally attuning together and letting the universe sing them collectively together, to sculpt reality and bring through the viscous superfluids, from which they could sculpt objects into being These type of group experiments– we don't have to believe these things, but I say come together and collectively try. See what's possible. See what's not. See what happens if you change around the parts of the gestalt of the people who participate.

You know, see if everyone's trauma-free and cleared. See if some are creatives. See if some are anchors. See what the capabilities are. See if there's left brain, right brains. Have a collective vehicle or vessel that you build together as like a group soul ship as you go inwards into inner space.

And this is my invitation to the global psychedelic and shamanic communities: to start working together in collectives on the medicine. To be vessels that are healed from individual trauma and take the next step as explorers, ambassadors, higher intelligence seeders. To go Through the planetary BIRTH CANAL. 

These poetic sensibilities have been reined in by careful generations of above ground psychedelic researchers dealing with government and bureaucratic establishments appropriating the full spectrum potential of psychedelics for their medical/cultural grooves.

MDMA, psilocybin, even 5MEO therapy may be like harnessing a nuclear reactor to light your Christmas lights on the Tree of Life. Sure, you can do that – but you do know there's an infinitely larger application for these things, right?

Psychedelics are a tool that reflects–and manifests– the mind of the beholder. If you want medicine, it does it. If you want soul healing and bathing in the mycelial forests of the world soul, it does it. If you want to raise your vibration and galactivate the seed of God in yourself and every living being– see me after class 😉

These substances don't just heal: they reconnect. As the Default Mode Network lowers, your consciousness is freed up from the base station to travel out into the infinite vibrational frequencies of full spectrum reality. A Terra Incognita–the Invisible Landscape–that poets and mystics, wizards, shamans and indigenous peoples have revered and feared, and said exists.

A space that may or may not have its own indigenous life forms, or the spirits of the earthly departed, or the elemental forces of the earth with their own intelligence made manifest.

So, dear mom and dad that have read Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind and think maybe it's time to dabble in psychedelics, let's go a bit deeper, shall we?

One toke over the DMT line and you may find yourself hurtling through DNA memory back to the beginning of time, to some far-flung interplanetary system where the voice of the mushroom connects you to in its galactic mycelial network, or to places unimaginable that we don't have concepts, much less words for.

That's right. Psychedelics crack open the head, and allow consciousness to mingle with the flora, fauna and fantastica of inner and outer space. These aren't just a salve for a shell-shocked human. They are rockets to "vast Niagaras of beauty," as Terence once said, a portal to the alive and intelligent universe. We are not alone.

We are explorers of the first–and last great frontier. And what we find there may redeem the last twelve thousand years of ego separation and abandonment from the rest of the universe.

So Come together really is our clarion call, because time is short and in plants we trust and we're moving from Ego to wego, together.

Thank you.
