Medicinal Reform, Globally

“Society: ‘Alcohol, adderall, Xanax? Totally fine.’ 

Also society: ‘Psilocybin? Whoa…that’s dangerous.’ 

Reality: The real threat is waking up in a world that profits from you being asleep.”  

It is a lack of proper education, and organizations like big pharma seeking profit over actually healing people, that keeps the cycle of suffering going. 

If people had a true education about medicines like psilocybin mushrooms & psychedelics, they would be intrigued and amazed at how incredible these plant medicines can help people. 

But our education system – at least in the USA proclaims “drugs are bad mmkay,” while most of those “educators” and so many people are taking prescription drugs because the “doctors know” …  

Most doctors have never taken the drugs they prescribe – they only read about it. 

Just as most people have never taken a psychedelic – and they take someone’s word for it.  

Take my word or don’t, but this is the Truth with a capital T – psychedelics are healing medicines – and I have had amazing healing experiences with mushrooms, but it’s not just my opinion now. 

There have been studies  and research done in the USA and Canada and other countries that show results to be positive and successful with psychedelics such as psilocybin mushrooms & ibogaine. 

These psychedelic medicines also are SO AMAZING that you don’t need to take them every day to see results – you can take them once every month, or 3 months, or 6 months, etc .. it depends on your condition, but these are medicines that DO NOT keep you dependent on them – they set you up to be free. 

So, big pharma & the government might be against plant medicines since they will cause a loss of profits to big pharma and the government – and truly – these societies we live in run off of money making schemes. 

So, once we are all ready to grow up as a society and look at the Truth, then we can move forward with healing people rather than just profiting off of keeping people dependent.   

If you’re interested in learning about psychedelics – here is a short journal filled with ideas, meditations, writing and drawing prompts, for if you are ever on a trip.  

Also – psychedelics will be legalized in the future, but for now, be careful and safe. I encourage you to do the research and decide for yourself, and don’t just take someone’s word for it. 

Opinions and Reality

“In Zen they say: ‘Don’t seek the truth. Just cease to cherish opinions.’ What does that mean? Let go of identification with your mind. Who you are beyond the mind then emerges by itself.”

— Eckhart Tolle

This idea is one that I am still practicing, and it is of a zen-type origin.

The reality that we all are much more & less than the opinions we create & speak about ourselves & others.

The idea that our real self is an experience beyond words.

This is an idea & a reality that is difficult to comprehend & even more difficult to experience, yet it is liberating to practice.

It’a at least a meditation, and at most a way of life.

What opinions are you holding within yourself that weigh you down? Opinions that anger you? Opinions that limit your experience?

Here’s a meditation guide to get you started.

Waves of The Present

“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find eternity in each moment.”

— Thoreau

Do oceans wave in the past or future?

Or do you wave your hand in the past or future?

Waves happen now.

Life happens now.

You can spend your life in phantom fears – or living with ghosts & lifeless machine people, or you can break through & experience waves of the present.

Life happens today, here, now.

The Phantom Mind & The Active Present

“. . Action always happens in the present, because it is an expression of the body, which can only exist in the here and now. But the mind is like a phantom that lives only in the past or future. It’s only power over you is to draw your attention out of the present.”

— Dan Millman

If I were to tell you that there are people & organizations working to manipulate people out of the true present moment, you may or may not believe me.

There are also some who work in love to bring themselves & others into a loving present moment – which is more difficult than living in the past or future, but it’s where everything is truly happening, all the time.

Anyway, Millman talks about the phantom mind & the present moment here. Action happens in the present moment, but even in action many people are living in the past or future & not actually in the present.

The phantom mind is powerful, but the true present moment is more powerful, & usually more beautiful.

Meditation practice is one of the best ways to experience the direct present moment.

Begin here, now 🙂

Integration

The definition of integration, from Oxford dictionary is “the action or process of integrating.” & Integrate is defined as “combine (one thing) with another so that they become whole.”

The process of integration can take time, but it’s always happening. 

Within these CoachT posts I bring to you what inspires me – ideas, people, places, experiences, and dreams. 

One experience that highly influenced my life was my first experience with psilocybin mushrooms. You can read about my first psilocybin trip here.

I’ve also been involved as an activist towards legalizing plant medicines, because I know their healing qualities firsthand. 

I’ve created a pen name, Psil Silva, where I share my experiences & add my two cents into life, in regards to the area of natural plant medicines like psilocybin mushrooms.

My name, your name, these aren’t as important as what is beyond our names – the peace beyond understanding.

& this is why it’s hard for many to understand – because it’s literally beyond understanding. 

It’s an experience. 

Anyway, I hope to integrate my websites, books, & ideas, to share the best of what I learn, with you.

It may be useful & it may not, so, as Bruce Lee says “absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.” 

It’s all related, all connected, and one of the short books I wrote that you may like best is titled The 7 Psychedelic Meditations.

Let me know what you think! 🙂
