“Its only true if it makes you laugh, but you don’t understand it until it makes you cry” - God, to me.
..about two years ago I spoke to God on a mountain in Oaxaca, Mexico where I had been backpacking. I had some sacred mushrooms given to me by a shaman in the town where they were first re-discovered and re-popularized for western culture. Many 60’s rock stars and gurus went to this place get their spiritual fix.
I know we are always speaking to God, but this was a full on conversation.
I am including it with this post, only part of it, the interview, not the whole story which I have written but runs for over 10 pages. The full story is profound, full of metaphors and I daresay, worth reading, I will put that on the other page.
You do need to read it all however so If you’re in a hurry, you can just read this bit.
-
So i went to this place called San Jose, its a pueblo on the peak of some mountains in Mexico/Oaxaca, the clouds touch the town and its a point where the sky meets the earth, its about 3000 metres above sea level and the pueblo is all based around mushrooms.
But these aren’t just any mushrooms, they’re sacred mushrooms, and to take them you rent your personal cabin on the edge of the mountain, by yourself, basically looking into infinity.. you talk to a shaman for a while before taking them, he tells you how to go and then you digest.
After consuming them a face appeared in front of me, it was old and wise, and it was the mountain. I was doubting the reality of the situation but my instincts told me to go with it and LISTEN. So I did..
He says, you can do this anytime, you always were, but you dont notice because you think your problems are important. You are here to learn. So I say, wow, ok im going to ask you some questions.
BEGINNING OF INTERVIEW WITH GOD
P- Why do children get raped and burnt? why do horrible things happen.
G- Because they can… If it can happen, it will happen.. if you can, you will, and thats it for everything.
P- Why have I been depressed and nervous so much?
G- Because you dont love yourself enough, and if you dont love yourself you cant love anything. Also, because you worry about your thoughts, you think they can harm you, and that you can control them, and both those things are impossible, and hence, you’re using up a lot of energy. Thats why you’re so tired, you think too much.
P- Ok so i shouldnt think.
G- Thinking is what god does.
P- What does that mean?
G- Humans are created in the image of god because they can think, which allows them to choose their own experience, life is a choose your own adventure book, as opposed to a normal book. For it to be choose your own adventure, you need to be able to think. The difference, the only difference, between the grass and a human, is that the grass IS and FEELS. The Human, IS, THINKS, and FEELS.
P- Please go on.
G- A blade of grass does not worry about where its going to get water from next, it allows for all things, and it get the water eventually, and if it doesnt, too bad. Its part of the whole and can never be lost. Just like you. But as long as you THINK you’re lost and try to THINK of a way out, you’ll continue on THINKING you’re lost. Humans are fun because they can consciously evolve, they can skip ahead or go backwards, as opposed to the steady evolutionary process of plants, most animals, and matter. Its more fun that way dont you think?
P- yeah…
G- But you’re part of the same system as the plants, so the same rules apply, want it or not there’s still a steady evolution always, but this is more of a mass human evoltion, than an individual case. The individual can skip ahead at any time, the mass continues steadily and gradually. The blade of grass is always looked after by god, because its a part of god. Like the human.
P- And how do the schrooms work?
G- The schrooms are a concentration of earth energy.
G- They carry the memory of the earth, and they possess you. Thats why when you take them everything is so fresh and new, because the schrroms, the earth, is inside you for that time, seeing life through human eyes, and of course, its fascinated.
P- Ahhhh
G- Its really obvious, and some people should eat some occassionally for cleansing and grounding, they grow where the sky meets the earth, there is no coincidence to this, and shamans have always known it. Divine information is easier to access when you are possessed by the earth.
P- But i can still think.
G- Exactly, the earth possess you but not completely, you still have a degree of control and thats your THINKING faculty, which is really beautiful after all. Thinking allows for greater AWE. The greater the AWE, the greater the JOY, the greater the SLACk.
P- Hmmm, and why do i forget so easily.
G- This information comes when your brain is in sleep state, its hard to recollect, we dont want to give the game away do we?
P- But can i remember?
G- If you want.
(I just want to clear up the conversation wasnt exactly like this, it was more telepathic and without so much coloquialism, but you get the point)
At this point I grabbed my notepad and feverishly begun to write everything i’d just heard. But then came the most important of all questions..
P- But, how does all this help me get laid?
G- When you know the truth, you dont worry about getting laid because you already have everything, and then, you’ll get laid.
P- awesome, thanks god.
G- anymore questions?
P- not really, i cant think of any, and of those that i can i already
know all the answers.
G- that is right
P- cathcya
G- im always here, you are never alone.
P- Oh, one more thing, what am i supposed to do??
G- You just do what you think is right, and let me take care of the rest.
……….
