Below is a brief essay I recently wrote after a particularly wholesome Salvia experience. I think this demonstrates, to an extent, the level of respect I employ towards these sacred plants.

"It felt very restorative….at one point I felt like I distinctly came in contact with the “scratch/tear marks” that were left before when I plowed in with virtually no respect or reason. It seems that we are perhaps gently restoring trust, and in turn, healing.

I think it takes a very different type of thinking for one to really be able to connect with and appreciate this plant. It’s hard to explain, and I certainly don’t mean to imply that I’m somehow gifted or special in this way….but it just seems like most people (at least most Americans) just wouldn’t be able to get anything positive or coherent out of this experience. It takes a very different, rare type of thinking…and since I seem to embody this, I guess it really frustrated her when I basically said “fuck it” before. It really seems like at its core it really is a friendly energy, but that it’s very readily frustrated

This actually sort of sounds like it’s me that I’m describing. Weird. Maybe salvia is really some sort of ego-distorting mirror into my own mind"


Haha anyway, yeah I really enjoy exploring these plants, my mind, and the entire universe. I love the questions that get raised, and the challenges that continually emerge. I've been lurking around these boards for a long time now, and I'd really like to be able to start posting. I hope that you can promote me to full membership.

Thank you
 
Welcome to the Nexus! Always a mystery of whether the state is a mirror for us, or if we are a mirror for the states. Be well!
 
So um...can someone please upgrade me to full membership? There are lots of ideas I'd like to contribute and questions I'd like to pose...The Nexus Nursery just won't cut it....:(
 
I have an abundance of respect for Spice, so much so that nothing else on Earth comes close.

You aren't alone when you talk of respect toward something that doesn't judge, gain an impression, and isn't biased toward loving you or destroying your very person.

With such raw power that these so-called, plants yield, comes a need for us to intimately understand their possibilities, and in turn gains a needed high level of respect when we realize they have the power to change us for the better, or crush our lives, but hold and mainly use the ability to let us choose our own path.
