All my life I have been on a journey. Since the age of 4 I can remember asking my parents questions that they never could answer to my satisfaction. From elementary on I was consumed with all things of the "occult", as my mom would put it. I read books on everything I could get my hands on. My parents found it odd that I sought these things out, as it was never brought into our household.
I've been on a spiritual journey all my life. My mother's side was raised to be in church every time the doors were open, but allowed us to find our own way. We fought for many years about my beliefs, or "lack there of". Living within the bible belt you almost become a stigma. I just never could place my finger on what I was searching for. I never could embrace a way of thinking that put their thoughts on a pedestal while stifling others opinons, thoughts, or ideas. I researched for many years trying to find the one thing that would hit me like a ton of bricks. I wanted that moment. That epiphany .... as I was secretly jealous of those around me who could buy in with blind faith.
Here I am 30 years old, and I feel things have started to make since. It seems the more I read, the deeper I want to travel down the rabbit hole. Some days it feels like there isn't enough time to do it all. As a fulltime working mom/wife its hard to get those moments to yourself. I won't trouble you all with how I have gotten to this small place of enlightenment, but I know I've only hit the tip of the iceberg.
Two weeks ago I was introduced to the use of ayahuasca , and since have learned about DMT. I have always been against drugs ... as they scared me in my youth (product of the 80s and that damn egg frying in the pan). Up until 5 years ago I was completely against the use of marijuana (true education does wonders). As I was listening to a shaman describe this amazing medicine, I was intrigued. I watched multiple testimonials from a temple in Peru where people were using this medicine to do amazing things for themselves. I saw the respect, love, and appreciation these individuals have for the plants, and immediately wanted to feel what they felt.
Fast forward to today .... I feel I'm newly awakened to a truth I can accept, but better yet, embrace... longing to go further.
I'm here to learn. I'm here to love. I'm here to find comfort in the newest part of my journey.
