Rue is a third eye activator. It opens the channel to the internal psychedelic dimension. You don't actually need anything with it to experience mindblowing psychedelia on the same level as flood dose DMT. If you have free days, I recommend taking some time to dose every day a nice amount - 5g-7g, giving some time between doses to let the body reset back to normal from activation. Do meditation with a focus on embryonic breathing/dan tian breathing and microcosmic orbit, go look these things up.
They are the cornerstone of true meditation, the realms of psychedelia you hear about but can't seem to touch in meditation - that's where the real meditation is at. The qigong masters say that true meditation occurs when you breathe into the dan tian. When you're waking up from sleep, a single dan tian breath will wash away all of the sleepiness and you will be wide awake in a matter of 2s, feeling fully rested. That's how powerful a dan tian breath is. In fact you should be dan tian breathing all the time, when you do this you will feel the microcosmic orbit automatically circulate... it feels like constantly having sex. With dan tian breathing comes heel breathing - breathing from your heels. In fact, rue connects you to the true power of the breath and there is no better demonstration than heel breathing. Heel breathing is when you let the breath fall to your heels then rise to your head and back.
The breath, rather than going up and down the torso, traverses the entire body. This is the natural way to breath, the correct way to breathe, the true way to breathe, and this is how you would breathe if you spent time in deep communion with nature, if you lived truly primally and were properly connected and earthed. This is how you would breathe if you released all the crud, the tensions, the tightness of daily ratrace living. Living the ratrace tightens up your muscles and hip flexors and other things to the point where the dan tian is choked off and not receiving any useful amount of air. So we are literally depriving ourselves of our most essential asset, as bizarre as it seems. If everyone breathed from the heels, everyone would be happy because with heel breathing comes total release from stress and tension.
Rue is a teacher plant, as you may well be aware. It connects to the level of deep intuition, of deep subtlety. It activates qi flow, it activates fluid motion. It is a way to experience and explore the 4th dimension - the dimension of time. How it works is that Rue blasts you into what I call 'tracer-space'. You know when Neo is dodging bullets in the Matrix? That's tracer-space in action and it feels every bit like what you see in the film. Essentially, the 4th dimension passes through us so fast normally. Research has shown we experience a time interval of around 15 seconds at once. On Rue when you enter tracer space, this becomes something like a minute or two. This difference is infinite in impact. I remember watching the cars go by, tracing their worldlines. I could see where they were 30 seconds ago and the entire trail they left. It shows that all we do is there, frozen in time forever and ever.
Rue is versatile, it's the most versatile psychedelic I know - you can sit down on it, you can move on it, you can do near enough what you like on it. I made a thread documenting some of my madness on Rue
here. If awake, you get one kind of experience on Rue - that type is most suited to dance or fluid movement, or music. If you are on the cusp of sleeping or in deep meditation, then rue becomes visionary. I guess it works with the pineal gland's endogenous psychedelic secretions to generate the visions. They are more like self-manifested visuals, the Rue activates the capability to have the visions but what actually generates them so you can see them is your own effort to sink into the deep theta state required to activate the visionary aspects of the human brain, the dreaming mode.
Rue works with the Kundalini in magical and mysterious ways, ways that I have barely scratched the surface on. It activates a kind of telepathic connection to one's surroundings, the feeling of interconnectedness. It does more than that suffice to say. In my experience it is a powerful male teacher with a feminine nurturing aspect; the latter of which is accessed by meditating upon subtlety. That is to say, on the forefront Rue appears to be incredibly harsh. But this harshness is actually the crudeness of your muscular/nervous system. When you develop highly refined fluid motion and your nerves are entrained, the feminine aspect of Rue comes out. In that case, you can feel everything for what it is, a lot more than when sober by all means. Your senses become hyper amplified.
I could go on about this stuff for years but the best thing to do is to set aside 6 weeks and sit down with the brew once every 2-3 days and meditate all day long on it. You will find it reveal itself to you.
