@Zheschool @jayshelt Traditional cultures have been using the psyche techne for tens of thousands of years. If you need a 101 bridge, Huston Smith is traditionally the religious go-to. Michael Pollan, an eloquent, perspicacious modern.

Copy of tweet: Guy who considers himself “high openness” and what that means is trying ayahuasca and considering poly but not eg reading the Gospel of John to see what all the fuss is about. That's very funny! And, at our first gathering, of the eight folk in attendance, two volunteered, without prompting, that ayahuasca proved pivotal in opening them to the fullness of the Logos. We may as well get used to plant medicine. It does the job for some. end/ The go-to libel of paganism? Typically, the archaic conceit of a Magisterium of consciousness fallen victim to a form of anthropocentric autism as geologian Thomas Berry names it. Earthly and human solidarity, a principle of Belonging in which we complete one another.
@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.
