Indigenous Spirit of All colors

sentient thanks for introducing me to Kathleen Harrison.
Here is a most wonderful talk by her.IMHO
I connected instantly with her beaming energy from the medicines.
I thought I might leave my body and shoot up the smoke hole.
She talks in the most wonderful respectful, balanced way of Sacredness.
Just flippen Lovely.
The best 9:22 mins. I have spent on Youtube hearing the English language.

Yep, that is a very Sacred Way as well.

Yes, her respectful, down to earth, pragmatic attitude has taught her things we can also learn from.

There are some old aspects of it I feel a bit uneasy about.
Good to learn more about other ways.

I enjoyed the vid. and listening to her, but now I am curious as if she is now
using her experiences to profit and become some kind of psychedelic guru?
Which my suspicions are that since I am seeing her in interviews she probably is to a certain degree.

Uneasy to my way off thinking is healthy. But of course I have Trust issues.LOL
Anything can be used by humans in a positive or negative way and that balance or knowledge can be tricky to know.
I still navigate through my own Angels and demons to be sure.

I don't wish to venture to far down these psychoactive Medicine ways on a forum.
I do have a very high respect for all the Medicine, the peoples misuse on the other hand,,,, GRRR,,Grrr.

Though I am thoroughly enjoying the music of South and Central Americas.
Especially when they include some Wind instruments.

Animal and Plant Medicines in my opinion are tools that certain People work with
but it is only a slice of the overall work that is needed for a holistic balanced approach to Healing and Living in Harmony.

I can’t really see her as a ‘pretendian poser’.

About “medicine” …

I gave my elderly, terminally ill neighbour a gentle Qigong practice CD a while back.
He didn’t take it on. Now I'm thinking that before he totally gives up and starts maybe taking those opiate painkillers, that maybe he could manage to do just one practice a day to try - if it helps.

Qigong Master Chunyi Lin’s long-winded talk – still good but:

No NOT pretendian, I can tell she was around Medicine people and learned a lot.
But does she have their permission and collaboration to shared their knowledge and
go around speaking on it?
Or does this only benefit her and help pay for her house in Hawaii?
Does everyone in her story benefit our just her?
Do they know that she is now teaching their knowledge in a sense and how do they feel about that?
Will people ascend into the villages that she talks about?
So many questions I could ask.
There is much responsibility she carries.
Especially with the Psychotropics, these medicine are not fun & games and Hippy Trippy things to be played with IMO.

Continued ....
Looks like there already was a Psychedelic Guru …. her ex-husband.
Had heard the name many times, but had not read or listened anything by him, until now:

Then into something else .... as this to me was so curious, but looks like they are from Israel (?)

You can travel there and join the eco community; - apparently to rediscover, revise and upgrade your self:

You can stay in a Mongolian yurt, sing around the firepit built like an Inkan Chakana, decorated with crystals and shells. Or sing your joy to the beat of Mayan Hunab-Ku drum accompanied by Tibetan singing bowls and rattles oooor you can sing from the forests of Amazon the song of your ancestors ….

I have come to hate upgrades.
I'm not sure what medicine they are practicing.I will probably have to pass on it though.


I thoroughly enjoyed the Russian documentary though.
I could identify with some of their medicines.


I should add I have been aware of Terrence Mckenna for some time now, but I really can't stand to hear him talk.
