Thanks alot for sharing this Horus. So interesting and really inspiring. Im curious, do you feel that plants (eg caapi) adapt or acquire new knowledge in a new setting? Has working with courtii influenced caapi, has the synergy between them grown and developed over time?
Peace
Crikey Humbolt, I could probably write another essay to answer your inquiries.
Years ago, the vine and mushrooms used to clash in my mind.
They sorted it out, but the vine came up trumps. (separate essay)
The vine has been waiting, honing its magic, till it could come to Australia and blend into new Super Medicines.
It has taken awhile to acclimatize, the atmosphere, sunlight and vibrational energy are so different.
Thru Changa mixes it has been exploring Acacia dreaming and tuning into this land that has been primed by tens of thousands of years of ceremony.
In turn, the Acacia has had to incorporate The Great Amazon Mother into its dreaming, listen to each others spirit songs, preparing for a great New Dreaming.
I have a psychic partnership with my vine.
I access Gaia Consciousness thru it and it accesses Human Consciousness and Energetic Form thru me.
I have always considered the vine No 1.
So when in my heart I told her....." The Acacia is your equal" she said.
" Der...what do you think im here for, we are going to take my work here on Earth to new levels."
They get on just fine in my Central Nervous system, an inter racial marriage.
The vine has always told the stories of the brews admixture plants, now with the Acacia, the original tree of knowledge, the vine has the richest Spirit Linage to evolve with. Including its history with many ancient civilisations.
Culture will change with it, For example The Jungle Dieta. Often because Psychotria was not as abundant, and brews traditionally weak in DMT. The diet assisted people get as much out of the medicine. Acacia brews can be that strong, they dont require any other dietary assistance than healthy yeast free to give people a guaranteed breakthrough.
This whole Brazillian style singing thing, well a good brew, people are lucky to scratch themselves let alone sing. The whole music thing needs to soothe right down to very ambient.
Sure, Icaros like the one above can be used at the appropriate time, which is when the vine wants to use physical form to create healing vibrations.
I also acknowledge this is all just my own Personal Dreaming, and I encourage others into deep relationships with their plants to develop their own Stories.
Its an open book, and we need to step up and write great new stories, from an aspect of respect of both plants country and culture.
When I first started brewing nearly 20 years ago, I was self conditioned into thinking that Ayahuasca comprising of the original ingredients was the pinnacle and if Psychotria was unavailable then substituting Acacia was a compromise, and not as "spiritual or beneficial" ....a poor second cousin.
Now im aware that Acacia use predates Ayahausca by tens of thousands of years.
That Acacia was used by many ancient civilisations and Indigenous cultures, and that indeed the Acacia IS the original tree of knowledge.
Fifteen years ago, when using Australian Acacia alkaloids we thought we were vangards, exploring new territory in consciousness,
when really we were going into a realm that has been explored by humans for millennia.
As a healer this is much more beneficial. Instead of thinking I was reinventing the wheel in other dimensions, to facilitate healing and growth, I now know I can draw from an ancient linage,
where consciousness has interacted since the dawn of man. Psychedelic authenticity and authority.
Particularly here in Australia where it is becoming known that it was part of Aboriginal culture. The details are enclosed within initiated lore/law but fundamentally disclosed.
Nowhere else on Earth has been primed by Ceremony as much as our great Continent, and there is a rich legacy of Acacia use that us Rainbow Gringos can hop on the coat tails of.
It is not necessary to know the details of, if you acknowledge and tune in, you will "know"it. Spirits are paying attention.
The Acacia Courtii has come off its lone mountain to say,
"leave me and all my brother species in the wild alone. I am easy to cultivate, and I will give you all the magic and access to The Dreaming you desire".
This forum has done marvelous work of creating more Courtii plants in cultivation than in the wild, and we see that the Courtii could grow in most Coastal suburban gardens in Australia.
In addition the spirit is is showing its gratitude by being everything we require from a medicine plant.
Consequently as this becomes more widespread, we need to start doing some clear distinction of description to label these different medicinal combinations.
Calling Acacia brews Ayahausca is misleading, and needs to change.
Mixing a MOAI is still a requirement, and Caapi is the most beneficial, so the fusion will still have an Amazon Frequency in its DNA.
And Icaros and Shipibo patterns still respectfully relevant. But we can start to bring in other elements of art and music. And names.
So there are the obvious ones Aussiewaska, Acaciahausca, Ayacacia.
For me personally Ive had my epiphanies and upgrades with the Courtii and will now concentrate on it exclusively.
So I have coined the word Courticaapi to describe my medicine. It has nice musical phonetics which work into vibration chants well.
Using the Acacia title first symbolises that Acacia is equal if not more important than the ayahausca vine in the bigger global picture. But am happy to respect them both as equals.
Its exciting times, there could be some official disclosures soon, which will make it easier for facilitators to discuss the rich history which these new medicinal combos sympathetically connect to.
Australia has it all cranking !!
Culture is a thing to study, respect, explore then re-dream as personal practice and self expression.
I express myself thru my plants, their garden and its medicines, and my culture includes traditions they have manifested thru history.
Here the fusion is represented with Didge and Traditional Chapaka.
After this "warm up" there needs to be new thread.......The Adventures of Noobie McSWIMmington .
As there are still tales of the Muskroooms and Choonga, And the Great Adventure to Mullupmoonby.
All this could give the Wizards cause to Summon Noobie to perform more deeds in different dimensions, in order to provide more tales ,Tall but True Fictitious Facts.
Thats a beaut Cactus, and I really want a cut, so here is a tale for you.
If all you folks who were there vote, Im a shoe in for second.
A couple of years ago I hosted a SAB camp on my property,
I wanted to make the event special and memorable, so I asked everybody
to send me their best cactus cut for a communal medicine.
Beautiful pieces of cactus started arriving thru the mail.
Each one with its own story, how it was gifted or traded. "swapped a bag of changa for this beauty" etc
It was wonderful to work with each piece, notice the differences as they gave up their medicine.
Each piece grown proudly with love, from a dozen medicine gardens.
Its what we are about, to take things to the next level, everything an opportunity to excel,
to showcase all the attributes and enchantments of our plants.
What better way to bond the fellowship of our plant family, than to share a medicine that represents all the love everyone has put into their cactus.
Soon afterwards a booming thunderstorm shook our little valley, the ancestor spirits who were duly respected and invited to join, us gave us a show and shower, renewal and reset, and the sun shone again creating steaming rocks and glistening leaves..........and big grins on all my SAB bros and sisters. Muchus Gratis Grandfather.
All the tips I rooted and planted on the property, a garden that represents that event, my friends and their gardens.
And in a couple of years we can regather and I can recreate that medicine..............
The forum is a bit static these days, as most stuff has been discussed.
And FB has taken over most of the social discussion.
But the network has evolved to be a bit more social, where we can share things, and talk openly about our experiences that we are still apprehensive about talking about online.
Great staunch friends on here to meet.
Lets get behind this and celebrate how good life is when we have all the magic plants in our gardens.
