you dont need Psychedelics to become a butterfly or to talk to God. you talk to God in pryaer and meditation. and in meditation you can become a butterfly.

Mmmmm. Certainly that is true regarding psychedelics, or even meditation. There are many paths and following how one is drawn is key. I feel we are always on a transformational journey here and that it happens through our life experiences and how we grow and transform through them. My favorite Sean Stephenson quote always echos in me: "This is happening for me not to me." All is grace. But there is not one way. Meditation is a broad term and different for different people. It sounds like it is serving you well. Psychedelics are here, part of the beautiful diversity of this planet. Just like so many things.

Your comments always mean a lot Charlotte. I know you are someone who crafts, studies, and creates with artistry and the work that goes into that. Plus I know you really think about things. So when you compliment my writing…it really touches me. I feel like I have let my 8 year old self do her thing here. I have never been taught to write anything other than five paragraph essays and term papers. But we often do things we never were taught in school don’t we 😉❤️🙏🌈.

Wow Terra! I love how your mind works. You have an affinity with words and express yourself so well. Been on a slow kick myself of late. Need to catch up my reading! 🤪 Been doing three day fasts lately too. Feels good. I’ll be in touch soon!

Blessings on your journey Terra!

🙏💖

Thank you! That's awesome on the fasts. You are ahead of me as this was my first time with just water. It seems like a very healthy thing to do. I feel like I am still cleansing and detoxing from it all, which is great. I am glad you are getting some slow time in. It does feel good!

You’re very welcome Terra. 💖

Glad to hear you find it beneficial.

It most definitely is!

My fast still includes coffee.

It’s just flavored water, right? 😂

Don’t understand the like function. I went on Amazon and put something in my cart. I think I chose a little quartz one…

I have wondered about that. Yes. I read it was fine for fasting. Most days I drank Yerba mate tea in the morning. But coffee keeps things moving 🤔😉. People do coffee enemas to detox (never have, just heard about it). So I have been contemplating it and its benefits. It tends to keep me awake, even when I only drink it in the morning. I think we all find our own way with things. Glad to take in a little more info around the coffee. I may add more of it in when I do it again.

Apparently we’re from the same tribe. I drink yerba mate when I’m not drinking coffee. Wish coffee kept me awake! Barely keeps me moving! 😵‍💫

Where did you find your merkaba?

Interesting that we’ve both read about so many of the same subjects. 🧐

For some reason my like function has ceased for comments.

LIKE! 💖 😁

I am so happy to read this James. Yes, there is hope. I was on a webinar yesterday that pointed out “pharmaceuticals” without the “p” is quite a different word. Personal discernment and intuition is so important now. And one thing mushrooms highlighted for me is nothing is real except for love. Under it all. And I do sometimes feel like a warrior standing up and declaring that. And I feel less alone reading what you wrote. There is a reason I write here. Another author just sent an email of something he is marketing only to paid subscribers. I am not at all against authors making money here. In fact, I hope how that happens evolves. But the energy of that email really highlighted for me what I don’t want to do. I am writing for something more than money. And it matters to me a lot. I am also lucky or blessed to do that. And I am doing it. It is warrior energy. I feel it and it feels good in my heart. Sweet.

James. You just signed up as a paid subscriber… Oh my. Not necessary and thank you. What is it about writing that you don’t love? Because there are so many ways to express oneself and share one’s gifts and vibration, even silently. We can’t help but affect the world with our presence…it seems to me. And ultimately, I feel joy is so key. My friend, Aven, posts photos and audio clips. She writes too. But it seems important to make enjoyment matter. Sometimes I forget. Sometimes, like in a recent mandala painting workshop, I really get serious and focus on something and “fun” is not the word I would use to describe it. But something is inspiring you here to do your own form of unfolding and something in me wants it to be joyful in some way.

Thanks for all this. I was just wondering how long I had been writing here. It is my anniversary and I didn’t even know it! I am still befuddled by why your writing makes you cringe. We all have critical voices. I wonder if it is even yours or someone else’s you heard at some point when you were young. I know that sounds like analysis. But honestly. What makes something bad? There are so many styles of writing. I think it is normal to feel like it is lacking in some way. It is ok to feel that. Then you write anyway. For fun. Because why not? In the end, what is there to lose? And yeah, someone may want to read it down the line. I feel like there is a future granddaughter who may read some of my stuff. Maybe not and I was thinking about that on the beach this morning. But the cool thing here is that you can write and let it be “bad”. No worries.😉 You certainly don’t have to like it. I don’t think any artist or writer likes everything. I never feel like I am trained or know what I am doing. I often cringe when I hit send for the week. I always feel there is more I could do and improve and then, there is more to do than this. So I do my thing and hit send. Over and over. At some point I may take a week off (like while I visit my family this week). There are no rules. That is the cool thing. You can color outside the lines. You may find the lines were never real anyway and you may also find there are people waiting for what you have to say. You are here for a reason and it sounds like it is tugging at you.
