Medicine of Queen Anne’s Lace
Why is Plant Medicine illegal in western culture? This is a very important question with profound implications, which Russell Brand explores in his latest video.
What I love about Brand’s mind is his continual ability to bring these ideas back to a more global understanding. So much of what we are facing and experiencing now are truly questions around systems of control. Plant medicine works to expand the synapses within the brain creating deeper and more integrated connections, and the broadening of our definitions of reality. These two things, control and plant medicine, may not easily go hand and hand.
It is fascinating to watch people in their differing relationships to control. Some want government to take complete control of their life and health. Others, like myself, believe humanity is self organizing and that human beings are essentially good, and we do not need to be controlled in the ways that the powers that be are enforcing. And perhaps many are undecided and in between, searching for answers in a strange world. A world now built upon increasing degrees of control of speech, action, and thought.
It really does come down to this: do you believe human beings are capable of making decisions that are best suited to their own personal and communal needs and experience? Or do you believe we need government to control all of our decision making processes? These are two fundamentally different paradigms of operation and thought.
I’ve had the great fortune to sit in ceremony and to be guided by plant medicine wisdom. These were profoundly expanding spiritual experiences that I would wish for every human being who aspires to expansion through the awakening processes. In my view, that our government should attempt to be the gatekeepers of our health and of our consciousness, given its history, is obscene and laughable.
Government knows nothing of the sublime, nothing of the great mysteries of life, beauty and truth which reveal themselves when we seek our greater nature. The real life lies inside each of us when we take the courage to seek our selves.
Every plant has a teaching, when we open ourselves to deeper listening. Nature and the body are profoundly wise. The body seeks to heal itself, when we are supported. Here, above, is the delicate, royal and powerful Queen Anne’s Lace medicine. She came to me at a pivotal moment in my life, when I was called to become the queen of my own self, to prepare myself for a greater union. I am forever grateful to the wisdom and the beauty of nature, who gives us what we need, when we address her with our soul.
