18. BLESSED FRUIT / FLESH EATERS


      Thee we adore, O hidden splendor, Thee
     Who in Thy Sacrament dost deign to be;
     We worship Thee beneath this earthly veil.
     And here Thy Presence we devoutly hail.

     In Science of the Sacraments, by C.W. Leadbeater, the author describes an effect produced by the celebration of the Mass, in a Roman Catholic church, in a little village in Sicily. "At the moment of the consecration, the Host glowed with the most dazzling brightness, it became, in fact, a veritable sun to the eye of the clairvoyant, and as the Priest lifted it above the heads of the people, I noticed that two distinct varieties of spiritual force poured forth from it, which might perhaps be taken as roughly corresponding to the light of the sun, and the streamers of its corona." 

     Host = Bread = Flesh = Fruit of the Tree of Life.
     Wine = Blood = Nectar of the fruit / flesh.  

     It all melts down (in the spoon, in our particular cult) to conscious affirmation of the radiant magical powers of the Planetary Beings; an awareness of their essences, contained in whatever substance we consume, and the recognition this is the same process (of Enlightenment) by which we are ultimately consumed. Sacred cannibalism of Pure Delight! We give thanks upon ingestion, receiving the rapturous vitality of the solar and lunar properties of the host / sacrament, intermingling within our blood cells. Honoring the moment of communion, with grateful and poetic blessings, furthers the desired intention of THEE HIGH (which is always getting it on with the God and Goddess, in any religion worth its weight in salt peter!). "The Word becomes Flesh", with a toast / a prayer / a kiss / an invocation / an orgiastic rite - sealing our intention to :

TURN ON, TUNE IN, BECOME ONE WITH EVERYTHING!

     In the Beginning, evolving stardust formed a pact with Fata Morgana (Mystery), co-creatively stimulating SpaceTime into resounding AUM, with a Big Bang of a Tantric Orgasm. Fast forward billions of years. Heavenly Adam (Space Alien?) and Earthy Eve (Chimp?) eat the Forbidden Fruit (one another) to conceive.....(FYI - fig leaves do not cover "offending genitalia", they symbolize fertility, for their propensity of seeds). Delivering us from.....dichotomies of good and evil, the much-maligned serpent (Lilith? Pan?) of the Tree of Life, represents our ability to access, here and now, the True Knowledge (Gnosis), entwined in our spiraling, recombinant DNA, a gift bestowed from the spiraling, recombinant, Universal Template, interstellar home of The Cosmic Serpent1 (Spiral Galaxy?). As above, so below (so many Creation Myths feature snakes, hmmmm.....). 

     Psychoactive and psychotropic plants, and substances synthesized from them ("drugs") are coined, ENTHEOGENS : "God and Goddess enabling", from the root Entheos : "to be inspired by the Divine God / Goddess within".  Enthusiasm, fervor,  five star, Further. Experience the intensity of free-falling into a  love fetish with the Goddess, savoring Her ripe perfume, Horn-of-Plenty laden feasts of golden apples, persimmons, peaches, plums, and exotic mangosteens (the Vampire Queen of Fruit), coalescing Her Yoni Juice, in seasonal rhapsody with the Sun. The first bite, kiss, from the vulvic fruit of the Heavenly Tree, connects One to the Source, the Force, the seeded pentacle within. The rhythmic circling, spiral dance of Druidic Priests and Priestesses around  Maypoles / Stonehenge, mirrors our upright Serpent Kundalini, the primordial energy of fractal-ing Creation. Pure planetary light ecstasy feeds the Children of the Sun, as we, in turn, feed (upon) One Another.

     The Tree of Life offers communion of its abundant fruit, via the faerie underworld, the lush forest-floor mycelium, suffused with red and white-speckled trance mediums (Amanita muscaria) and elven whimsies (Psilocybin cubensis / cyanescens). Psychedelic mushrooms are shamanic interlopers, opening our third-eye and hearts to the rainbow multi-verse we inhabit, with infinitely strange creatures of inter-dimensional intelligence. Moksha! Giggle! The translucent, emerald-aura of the San Pedro and Peruvian torch cactuses (Echinopsis pachanoi / peruviana) transmit angelic rapture, infusing us with superhuman endurance and towering joy. 
     Become One with the esoteric path these species have taken, to hone their secret life as forest / meadow / desert companions, as library depositories of entheogenic knowledge, and accessible receptacles of subtle Gean energies. Unveil Her Mystery School,  partaking of flesh-comunion, to understand the Destiny these Beings have undertaken, originating from the Stars, to merge with our ancestral exodus into the Dreamtime, a journey connecting the dots (spores) to Spirit Walk our past, present, and future.

     Truly ask! and you shall receive timeless know-how, from the    
fungi sprouting in the grass / moss / dung under your toes, from the shining THC crystals in the spiraling, pineal cones of Marijuana (Cannabis sattiva / indica / ruderalis), to the Flower of Life, replicated in the holy vines of Yajé (Banisteriopsis capii), mixed with the leaves of the Star Maiden La Chacruna (Psychotria viridian), to catalyze the healing brew Ayahuasca. 
     Entheogens have enjoyed a personal, hallowed evolution, in relationship with the Planetary Deities over untold dawns, as living testimonies of the inter-connectedness of Life, and the abundance and fertility of Gea, and, as such, compassionately offer themselves in ritual sacrifice and desire for shared fellowship, beauty, and wisdom, affirming how truly we are beloved by Creation. "We are Stardust, we are golden, we are billion-year-old carbon, and we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden"2.


p.s. Mindfully eat the seeded fruit of Persephone's pomegranate, its crystallized, blood-red rubies symbolizing Her Return, to Life and Love, via Mother Gea / Demeter's womb. The God / Goddess, in guise of entheogenic sacraments, grants the Mystery School initiate, "the Path of the Twice-Born", i.e. Return from the Land of the Dead.
