Wow! What a journey. Thank you so much Terra for your stories, and perception. I’ve always been intrigued by natures mushrooms, and have been a seeker of truth for a long time. I’ve tried micro journeys too and really learned a lot from them

“If you fight against the energy of things, you are in the same frequency of the things you fight against.”

This really hit home for me. It reminds me not to fight it but to rise above it. Especially draining energies and gossip obsessions. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Yes! Practice opportunities abound. I just had one recently. Holding one’s frequency state, curiosity, and care…feel quite key. I just looked at your Substack and love the topics you explore. Thanks for highlighting things here in the comments. I am truly writing from the edge and learning and exploring these topics right along with everybody else.

I love that you stared back the iris scanner to show it who you are!

That is my plan. It feels better than meekness.

Just so you know, in the US you can opt out of the scanner. You just say 'I opt out" or "I don't do that" and the human agent will look at your ID instead.

That is good to know. I heard someone mention that after I saw that customs agent. I will experiment with it. I will see if it works with Global entry.

I am so glad to read your work. Thank you.

I have had many interesting fungus trips, and twice a year seems like the correct number for me. As you said, it seems respectful

Yes. It is a very personal thing. I think for me, most importantly, is the reverence around how it is held.

I am enjoying this intermittently while my hands are full. I will be back with some specifics. This is AMAZING! (I will restack when I have more time. This is worth the energy of a thoughtful response.

That is all incredibly kind as I hit “send” last night with the “too long for email” warning flashing at me. But it was my second attempt and was the best I had in me. So it means an extra special “a lot” to me that you are finding value in all those words I sent! 😘🙏💪❤️

Oh there was a LOT of value :) I will enjoy reading it again to grab my favorite parts.

I am with you on the “calming presence.” And yes, I can get too worked up at times too and be FAR from calming. Haha. But there is someone I started walking with very intermittently. She was really negative about everything in the beginning. I just let her be, I never agreed with that mentality. I would see a squirrel or love a tree or remark on the breeze or something.

Eventually she told me that the reason she likes walking with me is that I “don’t let her go on about negativity”. But I never corrected it or admonished it. It’s just not my jam 😊 Haha

I went overboard on some "penis envy" once, that’s another story.

No, I wasn’t just envying having a penis, although I have also done that, especially when I have to pee and I am on a fishing boat with many men.

Pahahaha.

I love what you said about a warrior of light. I had to sleep in unfamiliar places over the last couple of weeks. I did some “energy clearing” in the space I was in. I had the passing thought of closing my eyes momentarily and opening them to find a hideous creature/being “hanging” in the air, face slack and looking at me (from across the room where a door was open to darkness). I had terrible experiences with hallucination as a kid. So, when I feel a tug, I take it seriously.

I thought of what you said and said to the open air, “well, good luck with that. You have to meet MY frequency to show yourself to me now. Go ahead and try it. I will be here sleeping like a baby” and then I said something like “may only energies that are for light and healing and love be present here. May all others be done away with and removed from here, or transform into something better”. And I went to sleep. I didn’t even open my eyes a second time. I just FELT better! So thankyou for saying that. I really like how you put that.

I love the fabric art!

Hey, thanks for mentioning me at the end! I didn’t even notice that until just now. As you know, I have been busy. My son was injured a couple of weeks ago. He is doing AMAZINGLY well. He is healing himself from within. It's incredible to watch.

I look forward to catching up more with what you write. I love reading about your ideas and experiences.

Thank you for recording the audio, I love the long form.

Towards the end reminded me of an amazing quote that I try and live by but haven’t figured out yet:

“Find what makes you come alive and go do it, because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.”

Expand full comment

I am glad you liked the audio and I love that quote. I came alive today closing my eyes and really tasting and experiencing a piece of carmel somehow infused with mushrooms. I don’t eat carmel. It has probably been 10 years. But I was at an event featuring food made out of edible mushrooms. Your lovely quote in the regular world seems like one needs to know their purpose/job/reason for being. But I think it can be in the moment, moment by moment…and not every moment. But catching them and savoring them matters. I passed a wealthy looking well dressed woman on the street in this very exclusive town I am

visiting a few minutes ago. I looked at her face. Money and success didn’t seem to equate to aliveness. And the world does need more people who have come alive. I imagine you are already one of them.

Great! Another example of the emotive power of black and white!

I love your God-bearing meanderings. Bringing gifts through the mycelial networks of Trust, Honesty and Love. Oh and DISCERNMENT. I love what you wrote about meet me at a higher frequency. My prayer is "You are welcome to interact with me in the frequency of unconditional love and respect and in support of Humanity and Gaia's loving, organic ascension. If not, you may dissolve in our Sophia-Christ Love/Light or leave."

At the dentist this morning at the end of the appointment the very empathetic, awesome dentist asked if there was anything else he could do for me, after he had. told me what it would entail to save my teeth and I'd declined saying, "Nope, I think I'll just have them all out, thanks." It was just a consult. I told him, "I don't think so...I think that's it. Other than - I mean, let's have love, joy and world peace without a surveillance state." He instantly resonated and so did the hygienist, who was also great and full of love and empath good vibes.

Well that is an awesome wish and dang I am sorry about your teeth. What a wish when faced with all that in a dental chair Alicia. You are such a bad-ass loving woman.

Thank you, Terra. I did some work on embracing the strong and vulnerable parts before hand to remove the charge about my dental traumas. I still cried telling the story of my pain from the last round, but it was such a wonderful experience and I now have a referral to be sedated by the oral surgeon, who will be able to put me under completely if I metabolize too fast or anything like that. I joked that although I have survived this last six months by not looking in the mirror and trusting that energy matters more than looks and smiling at strangers ANYWAY, I prefer not to be toothless, unless I'm going to be in the movie. I loved making them laugh. It acttually it helped to be in light-bearer mode...When I am doing/be what I am here to do/be, I can thrive through it because it gives me so much joy to encounter divine appointments. The woman at check-in and I had a groove about peace as well, and the other woman at the counter and I had a nice conversation about art and perfectionism and who decides what is considered "good art." My son's hygienist even knew about fluoride and actually told US about a town nearby that has gotten rid of it in the water!!!!

There is a lot of personal work in all of that Alicia. What a journey. I hope the rest of it flows smoothly for you and you come out the other side soon.

I love this information about the sacrum Terra. It really resonates with me, and I'm going to do some self-exploration around this!!

Thank you for the kind and generous mention, my beautiful sister! Sending you so much love...💖💖💖

Expand full comment

Yeah! I am interested to hear how the exploration goes. It was a L…O…N…G…. post. 😂💪. I appreciate that you read it or listened. And it just felt so resonant to mention you and a few other people at the end. I feel like this is a canvas and all of us are contributing paint and art to it. It all helps change and support the world ❤️🙏 and the people in it including one another.

This is all so awesome. I am so glad your son is improving. And so cool you were sovereign in your sleeping space. I am glad what you did worked. I do think we have power to say no to things…or to walk away or not interact with things that feel off. I haven’t studied hallucinations. Some people can see energy and others can’t. I don’t know that either person’s experience is less real. But it sounds challenging. It is always challenging to be different as it is hard to find people who understand what you experience. It sounds like you have some great stories! Maybe you will write about them sometime…? For me, I am a work in progress around all of this. This past week at the Telluride Mushroom Festival, I have had four challenging human interactions. But they are practice opportunities. Practice opportunities are usually not smooth or easy, or they wouldn’t stretch me. So bless the hearts of these people. They very much felt like they were in The Matrix. But to hold a calming presence and invite them into a higher frequency….mmmm….I am still practicing. But, my tail is less tucked and I did speak up for myself. I am going to call that a win. ❤️
