Entheogen: Awakening The Divine Within

[Cyclic13]

5 minute trailer CLICK HERE TO WATCH FULL FILM The link above was a nice 60 minute documentary I thought I'd share which stresses the importance of our modern culture to reenchant our reality and our innately spiritual nature and connection to all that is. A nature which our modern cultural standard perspective of the perceptually detached objective observational model of the Cartestian Newtonian Materialist has essentially disenchanted the reality around them by assuming and observing themselves as detached and divided from it. When in actuality, science should be celebrating and merging itself with spirituality since it has found that at the most basic level the essence of the building blocks of the material world is just quantum probabilistic foam which reacts according to your conscious expectations and observations of it. Concluding that Matter and Energy are, interdependant and interchangable concepts which ultimately depend on the conscious observation of which of the two you expect it to be. Many of our seeming modern conveniences have become these archetypal symbols or patterns of our disenchantment from nature and reality. In the standard model of reality, the average person moves from one over-simplified and under-glorified reality to another. Losing nature's fluidity while moving from box-like room, to box-like room, leaving the room only to get into their box-like vehicles to traverse linear lanes and wait in queues, only to return to their box-like room to stare at a box to help them relax. Keeping their interaction with their actual environment to a minimum. As food prices rise and our currencies crumble, we still conveniently have food arrive at our corner store without having to give so much as a conscious question of where, when, or how it's arrived there. It's availabilty becomes subconsciously misperceived as always being there, and since the same exotic foods like bananas, meat, or fish can be seen each day without an effort or thought as to how it was obtained or cultivated we grow distant and disconnected from the hand that feeds us-- Earth, and in the end our very spiritual essence. It's that subconscious disconnect that allows us to not take note or be thankful for each meal, and not ever have to consciously toil over one of the most essential and basic needs-- hunger, which in turn creates a culture emotionally despondent and distant from their primal roots of spirit and essence of their being. And so, our current cultural model's spiritual disconnect manifests itself physically with the biosphere reaching a critical breaking point with 25% of all species expected to go extinct in the next 30 years, and all our oceans having already been overfished and depleted of 90% of the fish within the past 40-50 years. The thing that could solve many of the problems we are in is reaching inward for a broader perspective to help bring new solutions to the table. Currently, we have drug stores on nearly every corner yet as a culture we demonize other perceptual and mind-expanding drugs which are essentially as old as humanity itself. Why do we as a culture fear this mind expansion? This awakening of the divine within? Why has this western model of reality continually created and pushed for disconnect from nature and interaction with our environment? Considering this connection or interaction is necessary for our survival as a planet and species, and necessary for us to have any of our observations, however deluded or detached we as a culture prefer them to be. If you don't decide to make the time to watch the documentary at the very least please watch the 5 minute trailer and this 10 minute clip below which is along similar lines. Peace.
