@suzania @permachristians Personally, I haven't done ayahuasca - psychedelics not my thing, though I side with Pollan - and I'd say we can always be too big for God but we can never be too small. Right, I'm off to transplant some lavender and top-graft some plums in the sunshine. You have a good day, now.
@aliner "To discover the secret that there is no secret is the ultimate secret that one can neither divulge nor withhold. To see with no veil is to see that there is no seeing without a veil." - E. Wolfson, Messianic Anthropos: Beyond Theopoetic Metaphoricization, Kabbalah & Modernity

Our 'Kingdom eyes' open only in so far as we do, to Medium and Message, God and Reality, Local and Absolute, as One. t.co/TI1Piv9VMt t.co/Cgbsus1EeU
