1/13

Human relationships that are established with plants, directly represents their

natural course of life, growing, expanding, changing, and birthing. This natural

relationship, if established can sheds great light on the affiliation that is

possible with the plants, and the ability to create a valid belief as to the

understanding of persona, nature, and that of the cosmic worlds that are so

abound. What is it about the way in which humans interact with nature?

Expansion, learning, experimenting, and creating is the process in which

humans have been co-interacting with the natural world from time immemorial.

The teachings however abundant and copious they may be are all interwoven,

these different roads that are traveled lead to one destination, to integrate a full

union with the divine essence, A practitioner must be completely aware of the

universal source and implement directly in the life that is being lived.. What is

a Plant teacher? Is the teacher in the plant or is the teacher in you? Where does

the information come from, and where does it go? A teaching is a force that

implements a creative break through into achieving a goal that is desired, theresults are discovered by the experiences that ensue. Plants can give people

experiences that can accelerate their capacity to understand greater aspects

about themselves, about the environment, and others. Knowledge of all kinds is

encapsulated within every life giving, and death giving system on this planet,

and in the cosmos at large. The tricky part of enlightenment is being able to

unlock the knowledge within the life time that is being lived.

Culture has the capabilities and inertia to fully exist in this space and time

continuum, the primary reason this cultural existence is able to take place rest

fully upon the evolutionary space-warp that the human species has created.The cultural and evolutionary status qoue of what is happening with the way

humans are interacting with the planet is directly linked to the organizational

method of cultivating, gathering, and using plants. A few authors are now

starting to pick up on the evidence, as is said by Flattery and Schwartz(9), and

T. McKenna saying “ My contention is that mutation-causing, psychoactive

chemical compounds in the early human diet directly influenced the rapid

reorganization of the brain’s information-processing capacities. Alkaloids in

plants, specifically the hallucinogenic compounds such as psilocybin, DMT,

and harmaline, could be the chemical factors in the proto-human diet thatcatalyzed the emergence of human self reflection. The action of these

alkaloidal compounds present in many common plants enhanced our

informational processing activity, or environmental sensitivity, and thus

contributed to the sudden expansion of the human brain size. At a latter stage

in this process, entheogenic plants acted as catalysts in the development of

imagination, fueling the creation of internal stratagems and hopes that may well


2/13

have synergized the emergence of language and religion (7-24)”. This human

plant co-evolution is also elaborated upon by Ananda Bosman. Indicating, the

beta-carbolines and tryptamine molecules are now encoded permanently within

our nervous system, and endocrine system. “DMT, Melatonin and Pinoline

(6meoTHBC)-(which a healthy brain produces internally), are among the

highest of the neurotransmitters, which the brain knows how to metabolize

within 30 seconds, making them thus the most familiar chemicals relating to

neuroanatomic laws(10)”! As the evidence for the information continues to

grow, our understanding and memory will continue to improve and we as a

collective unity will begin to have a realization as to the importance of our

relationship with plants and that of nature. This understanding will shoot out

into cosmic perspectives, implying the importance of the seasons, planets and

the stars. From hunter and gatherer, to agricultural surplus systems, to

synthetically produced supplemental drug based systems; humans have very

heavily mirrored or copied- in some way or another- what plants are doing, andhow they are interacting with nature. Why in this time period have we lost

sight of the true meaning of nature, and how it feels to be open to, and to be an

integral part of the whole system-The Gaia-Net?

At this point in time, the human race is the most alienated creature on the

planet. There is a unbelievable amount of suffering, a refutable amount of war,

a ridiculous system of living (Concrete, synthetic rubber, toxic paint, electricity

that is wasteful, radio active weapons, business suites, people that cause

violence, people suffering from dementia, main stream allopathic medicine

whose main goal is to work with the pharmacy companies whom are under thephilosophy of, why would we want to make the divine ambrosia of life? For

then all would be cured and the rivers of riches would stop flowing), this list of

negative things goes on and on and, the ignorance is but a natural process of

understanding.

Many of us today, are beginning to wake up and smell the fresh scent of the

flowers which are stimulating the archaic intuition that is lingering deep within

all beings. I feel that dedicated people need to join together to shake out this

sick and demented cultural imperialist globalization that is occurring, by using

intuitive knowledge and going directly to the source of the problem, By findingthe roots of a particular problem we can discover how to exterminate useless

pursuits and situations. The process of purification and reformation gives space

to develop and new cosmology of relating to the natural world which surrounds

us. Skolimowski gives insight in to structural reformatting: The new

cosmology must reflect the realization that the fate of the earth is now


3/13

intimately intertwined with the fate of the human species. We are the universe

and the universe is us!

• Evolution is a continuum of creative becoming, and humans are the result of

this process as well as its facilitator.

• With our creative evolution of mind, we are the reflection and participantsof a greater universal whole. We are the being conscious of itself.

• Humans are but one manifestation of an implicate universal order; all parts

of this order interpenetrate one another. They are holistically co-dependent,

we are all related.

• Hope for human meaning and destiny underpin the motivation for human

attempts to realize themselves and to affirm a future with compassion,

courage, solidarity, and action.

• We continue to engender and cultivate reverence for life as a way of action

and to acknowledge the beauty of life and the miracle of which it is anexpression

• In understanding the evolution and application of ecological ethics we leave

all living things, taking responsibility for our relationship to the earth, for

doing more with less and for pursuing wisdom and self actualization rather

than all consuming materialism” (3-notes).

Basing the framework of actions off of the health of the planet and the health of

the people is a fore sure way to make positive results in this world.

The use of plant teachers will be the guide to reprogramming this pain that isbeing experienced by many. This is one of my personal goals and practices of

life, to keep listening to my natural instinct and learning from the ancestors of

the land, the plants, and the spiritual forces that linger in all space and times.

The plant medicine can be a force that shakes a person out of their every day

normal perception, allowing time to get insight into how to heal their mind,

body and spirit. Why would you want to heal your mind, body, and spirit?

How do you know it needs healing? If you are healed, what do you do with

yourself? A true healer is a person that has gone through intense training and

has confidently healed themselves, when this is done they are able to pass on

their knowledge and power to guide others in the direction of correcting

imbalances. The vegetable world is one of the elements in this process that

provide extreme transformation and clarity to the healing process.

My personal relationship with the plants are that they control my life, many of

the decisions that I have made over the last three years have been around

finding new plants, working in agriculture, and experimenting with plants that


4/13

take a person into extra sensory perception. From the food that is eaten to the

medicine that is taken, we must be conscious that the plants are a very

subjective force; they provide the vehicle which allows a connection with the

higher levels of existence and beyond. They come from the earth, the heaviest

element, that holds what is known as solidity in place. Relationships with

plants can serves as a vehicle that will raise the consciousness of the human

race to create a community which has a social responsibility to act from the true

heart of nature. The way in which I am going about this is in small and

responsible strides, an old Chinese proverb states ‘Those things which are small

create the foundation for enormous change to occur”. This ancient wisdom is

intoned to the harmony that can be depicted by the triangle of time; as an above

so below. We all have a responsibility to integrate a transformation; the

impermanence of this reality is doubtless. The transformation that is needed is

in the external world, raising the positivism of the planetary process, reassuring

the mother that all is well and comforting her. We all must accept death, forthis is the truth to life, this is what the plants teach, easy come easy go, the river

cannot be pushed against the current.

“The line A D represents the gradual obscuration of spirit as it passes into

concrete matter; the point D indicates the evolutionary position of the mineral

kingdom from its incipient (d) to its ultimate concretion (a); a, b, c, in the left

hand side of the figure are the three states of elemental evolution; i.e., the three


6/13

successive states passed by the spiritual impulse (through the elementals-of

which little is permitted to be said) before they are imprisoned into the most

concrete form of matter; and c, b, a, in the right hand side, are the three states

of organic life, vegetable, animal, human. What is total obscuration of spirit is

complete perfection of its polar antithesis-matter; and this idea is conveyed in

the lines A D and D A. The arrows show the line of travel of the evolutionary

impulse in entering its vortex and expanding again into the subjectivity of the

ABSOLUTE. The central thickest line d d is- the MINERAL KINGDOM” (4-

174). This simple diagram gives an exposition as to the general flux and flow

of gross matter into subtle energy within the evolutionary frame work of this

reality. This monadic philosophy is based off indivisible indestructible

elements, some what related to the law of thermal dynamics that energy can

neither be created nor destroyed, and that this monadic micro-macrocosmic

relationship presents the same consistency throughout the cycles of life forms,

spirit forms, and cosmic forms, yet differs in as much as to the scale of theprogression unto which the particular manifestation of subtlety it is trailing.

Through the process of evolution the human intellect has begun to learn that

there is a “manifest progress in the succession of beings on the surface of the

earth. This progress consists in an increasing similarity to the living fauna, and

among the vertebrates, especially, in their increasing resemblance to

human……. The human is the end towards which all the animal creation has

tended” (5), and the human is the vehicle into which to renascent into spirit,

entering the dissipation of form, and becoming the unity of all things.

Understanding how the mind, body, and spirit function together brings light asto the importance that the human race holds to the health of the planet, culture,

and civilizations at large.

The human experience is the pinnacle of novelty, never before has this

occurred. As the decision of life become more pressing, a dire needs to

develop systems that bring forth a harmonious relationship with nature. The

truth of nature is a fact that stands alone hidden in the mist for the pure and the

holy hones to dwell in. The nature is brought forth by you, indeed the external

world holds clues to this mystery, but the mind is that which can help one attain

the realization of such a sacred force. Nature is sacred; it has a soul and thehuman can join, and find union with the soul of nature at any given time. In

union with nature provides a reality which is conductive to healing a gaining

perfection.

The process of healing can shed light on to the death of being and to the

emotional states that we create towards the death of being. Anxiety of death is

so prevalent in this culture that many people go through there daily habitual


7/13

patterns completely ignorant of the present state of well being, dieing in every

moment of there existence. This so called earth is one of the basic frame works

of healing. For an example, the Hindus have a certain religious practice that

involves the idea of a seed. Seeds are very interesting, if preserved and

processed in the right manner, you can keep the seed alive through the process

of sowing and reaping, this only happens when the environmental conditions

stay right for the cultivation of the seed. The Hindus have a ritual that is some

what from the under world. It consists of sifting through the seeds that grow

inside, and all around, and weeding out the seeds that are negative and causing

bondage and suffering. Once these seeds are weeded out they are gathered

together and burnt to ash with this being done, they no longer have the

capability of sprouting.

This is the exact concept of death and life; being able to come into a new

sphere of existence. Great denial can consume the life that is being lived, if we

are not aware of the way the mind, body, and spirit act within the accordance of

nature. General awareness is a critical step in understanding how to process

reality in an environmental and holistic way. As the thumb of modern day

priest hood is pressing down, with considerable force, and destroying the world

around us, pointing to an even more urgent need to integrate what is nature in

to the life and to actualize and follow trough with a positive up keep of all the

bodies that are available in this reality of existence. The layer of the bodies

correspond to the elemental forces which are in harmony with the way of

nature, out lined as followed: The universe has a macro-micro existence that

encompasses the all. The foundational measurements, in which thisinvestigation is peregrinating into, are based on the healing of the past, and the

sustenance of the environmental condition that we are all part of. The

philosophy that is followed is that which is focused upon the process of

cultivating a natural life based around the systems the universe has presented to

the human race. The ethical considerations that are to be made must be on an

individual level, this is based on experiential modes of actions and reactions.

For the eradication of all the impurities, one must be inspired from the inner-

core of their being to attain purity in all aspects of life. Because this science is

a reflection of all the natural processes which are taking place, which have allready taken place, and those which are going to be taking place; we must look

to nature to solve our biggest problems and questions.

Breaking this science into a practicality can be summed up by Know Thyself.

There are many different ways of understanding the true nature of your being,

all the different methods which truly allow liberation and freedom to occur, are

based on experiencing pleasure and pain, while not reacting to it but accepting


8/13

it as it is. Tuning into the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are manifesting

in every given moment leads one into a space that is more acceptable. In order

to attain a high degree of mastery over the mind, body, and spirit one must have

perseverance, patience, and the ability to work independently while integrating

wisely. There are no short cuts on this path; it works within the cycles of time,

space, and energy. This path is replenishing to the essential vitality of the

physical, spiritual, and cosmic energies. The ancient old tradition is essential

factor in this science; you reap what has been sown; this holds true by

manifesting itself clearly in the outer and inner worlds of reality. This is a

basic law of continuity that must be acted upon on a daily level, so that

experiential wisdom can manifest itself, creating a balanced and sustaining life

force that produces positive vibrations within the environment that we are all

part of.

Laying the frame work for the systems that are going to be constructed is of

much importance. All that is around you is a product of yourself in action.

This action that is put into you, and the action that you put into the world

around you, plays a great importance in forming who you are to be in the

present moment of life. The whole entire being of a human organism can be

broken down into five fundamental layers. These five layers of the human

organism as a whole consist of:

1) The layer of the physical body which is nourished by food, drink, and

oxygen.

2) The layer of the body which sustains the life force.

3) The layer of the body which is responsible for Psychic activities.

4) The layer of the body that is responsible of all intellectual activities.

5) The layer of the body that is responsible for all spiritual activities.

The development of these five layers of the body is your whole being in action,

these five layer are in continues action throughout your entire life span; there

truly is no way to escaping this phenomenon of nature that all living life forms

have been born into. These five layers, if cultivated a certain way, can put forth

a supreme force of love and positivism that will create a beneficial change forthe environment, and one for the internal system which comprises you. The

development of these five layers of the body is like anything else with various

factors; they can be broken down systematically to form a conceptual outline.

The actual reality of these five layers is that they are always happening

together, co-joining, mixing, and creating as many situational circumstances as

there are people on this planet. Have wise action and chose diligently!


9/13

Giving guidelines on how to act and cultivated the five layers of the human

body are the five layers of understanding that are guided by our self and give

awareness as to why one has a character, and why one who they happened to

be. Our whole being is also governed by the five layers of understanding. This

understanding allows us to function on a day to day level and gives us the

ability to cling to and reject things in life. The five layers consist of:

1. -True Perceptions

2. -False Perceptions

3. -Hallucinations or Imagination

4. -Sleep

5. -Memory

These governing factors will give one insight into how to cultivate the five

Layers of the body for a balanced internal and external worldly live.

As humans have moved through time and space they have dedicatedtime to investigating the elemental forces that are penetrating and giving life to

all things in this reality. The way in which perception flows through of senses

and in to our mind is what determines what we are ignorant of and what type of

awareness that is had. “We perceive and object when different kinds of

vibrations which emanate from it strike our sense-organs and the mind is then

joined to the sense-organ thus activated. As a matter of fact, from the

physiological and psychological points of view there are many stages

intervening between the reception of the vibration by the sense organ and the

perception by the mind but let us, for the sake of simplicity confine ourselves to

the simple representation of the mechanism of sense-perception as generally

understood. The may be represented diagrammatically as follows” (1-269):

ELEMENTS SENSE ORGANS SENSATION

Earth Nose Smell

Water Tongue Taste

Fire (light) Eye Sight

Air Skin Touch

Ether Ear Hearing

5 MODES OF AWARENESS: Omnipresent, Discriminating, Mirror-like, A.

of Equality, Accomplishing A.


10/13

5 FAMILIES: Buddha Padma Vajra Ratna Karma

5 MODES: Body (Kaya) Speech (Vak) Mind(citta) Qualities

(Guna) Action (Karma)

5 psycho-physical constituents: Name & Form, Ideation, Conscience,

Feeling, Volition

5 EMOTIONS: Sloth-Laziness (Moha), Lust (Raga), Anger,

Pride, Jealousy

5 ELEMENTS: Earth,Fire, Sky/Aether, Water, Air

5 SENSE ORGANS: Nose Eyes Ear Mouth

5 COLOURS: White Red Blue Yellow

Green (2).

These elemental forces are very alive within the systems of the universe and the

internal systems of an individual being. What we do with these systems is up

to the karma in which one possess. Many people are suffering and many

people are enjoying a pleasant life. The great distinction is to decide, what is

your trash, and what is your treasure? We all have the ability to make a choice


11/13

as to the way that we are going to act towards others and to the environment

which surrounds us and how in turn this affects the future of the entire cosmos.

Shamanism Death and the Role of the Physician

The role of a healer, physician, and shaman is a need in civilizations at large.

The shaman seems to be the most archaic of all these professions. The people

whom practice this art go through a profound metaphysical experience, “having

a heightened capacity to appreciate, resonate, and attend to the cosmological

enigmas that define the human condition, while having a exceptional awareness

of the metaphysical, ontological, and epistemological mysteries that have been

a perennial concern for people since the begging of times” (6-503). The states

that are achieved by these masters are one of a profound proclamation to the

society about the present condition, and how to take the reins and follow the

heart in a pure way. The shaman is a master of gaining access into different

worlds; sometimes these worlds contain the ancestor spirits, the ultraterestiallight beings of the future, and animal life forms that convey wisdom and

knowledge. With the ability to make these bewildering connections, the

shaman lives a life outside of normality, gaining power for the greater good of

all life forms on this planet and the universe at large.

Shamanism is a universal practices among all people of the world, giving direct

evidence that part of human culture and the nature of human interaction is to

manifest a force, to a select few, that is tending and guiding the general mass

towards a force that is in the profane and sacred, which relives in burdens that

hang around the necks so heavily of those whom are suffering. “Eliade showsthat, while the particular motifs may vary between cultures and even

individuals, shamanism’s general structure is clear: the neophyte shaman

undergoes a symbolic death and resurrection, which is understood as a radical

transformation into a superhuman condition. Henceforth, the shaman has

access to the superhuman plane, is a master of ecstasy, can travel in the spirit

realm at will, and most important, can cure and divine. As is noted in the

Invisible Landscape, In short, the shaman is transformed from a profane into a

sacred state of being. Not only has he effected his own cure through this

mystical transmutation, he is now invested with the power of the sacred, andhence can cure others as well. It is of the first order of importance to remember

this that the shaman is more that merely a sick man, or a madman; he is a sick

man who has healed himself, who is cured, and who must shamanize in order to

remain cured” (7-5). These super human feats the shaman is able to perform,

has formed the guidelines for medicine to this day! Even though certain

archaic aspects may have possibly been lost, or locked somewhere deep within


12/13

our intuition, their contribution to human evolution at large, has been abundant,

and will continue to influence the relationship that human beings have with

themselves and the world that abounds.

One of the basic fundamental laws in being able to implement a healing force

to others in this world is that, the particular person whom is generating healingenergy has to have fully healed themselves, and continually correct any

imbalances that occur, to be able to safely spread their healing powers to cure

other peoples imbalances. The general goal that is to be had is that of

Isonomia, mastering the perfect harmony of all the substances that compose the

5 layers of the human body and distributing this skill for the greater good of all

humanity. Diseases and imbalances that occur within a human organism is an

expression of a disturbance of the harmony of perfect health. This is a natural

process; the symptoms of the disease are the reaction of the body to the disease.

The chief function of the physician is to aid the natural forces of the body. For

extreme diseases extreme strictness of treatment is most effective. The role of

a healer is now outlining: The physician, who is at the same time a philosopher

is like the gods. There is not a great difference between medicine and

philosophy, because all the qualities of a good philosopher should also be

found in the physician-altruism, zeal, modesty, a dignified appearance,

seriousness, tranquil judgement, serenity, decisions, purity of life, the habit of

brevity, knowledge of what is useful and necessary in life, reprobation of evil,

no suspicion, and devotion to the divinity. The physician is but a servant of

nature, and that if nature resists, all measure are in vain”. Yet to be continued
