37. MYSTERY OF THE TREE OF LIFE

     "In such a degree as we contemplate the spirit of livingness, it becomes manifest. Thus our recognition of it becomes its recognition of us at the level of our recognition of it."
     "The new birth (flesh) comes not by observation nor by loud proclamation, but through an inner sense of reality. We cannot tell where this comes from, if we look to outward things, as it proceeds from the innermost parts of our own being."
                   -- Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind

     "Eureka! We are all ambulatory plants!"
                   -- Wade Davis

     One afternoon, contemplating in an elevated form of worship (puffing the Magic Dragon), I realized an internal secret. In addition to our animal-flesh pods, crystal-mineral skulls, and quantum-mutating, cellular Lightbodies, we are walking, flowering, plant vines! East Indian Metaphysics christen this phenomena : the Mystery of the Spinning Wheels, or the Rainbow Chakra System of Kundalini Serpent Power (In Hindu Art, the Kundalini (Sanskrit : kund : to burn, or to coil or spiral) is represented by a cobra entwined around the God Shiva's head, issuing forth from his crown (and doubling as his turban), from which the river Goddess Ganga (Ganja!) emerges, and flows downstream). Egyptian deities manifest this energy in the form of the Uraeus,  an awakened cobra, exiting from the central forehead, a.k.a. the Third Eye, or Spirit Eye. Who, or what, exactly, is this snake / vine dwelling inside us? 

     The Kundalini, our rainbow chakra network, is composed of whirling, energy vortexes - ranging along our spinal column, from the sacrum-red root chakra to the white-light crown, located at the top of our skulls. These wheels of pulsating Light (i.e. flower heads), are connected on a stem along the spine, streaming out to the Sun, while anchored, metaphysically, to the Earth. Astral wormholes, nourished by Light, manna-festing, if you will, subtle, nodular synthesizations, such as amino acids, pheromones, hormones, photo-nutrients, and endocrine cream. 
     We create sap like the divine propolis of trees! It forms esoterically, in the brain's pineal gland, like pollen budding, releasing heavenly nectar cascading to our hearts, via the slippery slope of our nasal passageways, along the back roof of our palate. Tongue-twisting in poetic rhyme, we drip the sweetest One Drop : an Immortal Elixir deified as Amrita (Sanskrit : soma, nectar, ambrosia, Immortality).

     Inspirational dew, climaxing in the (feeding) bliss of a lover's kiss. We are the dream in which all dream players are us : God and Goddess, Rainbow Serpent, Garden of Eden, Tree of Life, Wisdom and Knowledge......the inching caterpillar in the apple-of-our-eye's pineal cone. One of Kundalini's favorite snacks is communion via a fair Co-Creator, the Heaven-sent, crystalline plant embodied by the Green Ganja Goddess, Cannabis (Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis) - an interstellar gift of our ancestors from the twin-dogstar Sirius (Cannabis : canna bis : binary dog). FYI, the human body has evolved specific receptors, hungry for the glittering THC and CBD compounds in Marijuana. Our symbiosis with cannabis mirrors the ecstasy which cats experience with catnip. We blossom.....from the inside out! The oil and vapour of Marijuana not only heal mind, body and spirit, but open psychedelic Doors of Perception to further contactable realities.

    Yeah, an Immortal Symbiosis with the iconic leaf and glistening, gooey, crystal-studded buds of the Queen of Bliss, is exactly what the Gypsy Space Vamp had in mind, carrying the seeds here in her silver space-backpack, after hitching a ride on a streaking comet / ice ball, with her emerald-green thumb. Necropanspermia3, Man.

     Dig it, we have a snaky flowering vine, growing upright, alongside our bony spinal column and remnants of a reptilian, or catdog tail, anchoring our starry-seeded origin. By landing on Mother Earth, we've grown Roots Natty Roots1, completing a planetary bridge - an infinite Moebius strip, uniting Heaven and Earth. We are herbaceous beings in wanderlust, sowing our seeds to the winds, pollinating Dandy-lions. Ponder the boner wonder next time you light up. Wow! Far-out, eh? and precisely why the rays of the Sun blow your Mind's Eye wide-open. Rastafari! Are You Receiving?2

                   In my heart I worship Devi Kundalini
                   When She springs up from the Muladhara
                   Her Home, and shakes Herself as far as
                   the Throne of Sahasrara,
                   Opening One by One the Lotuses of the
                   Kingly Way Sushumna.
                   Her Beauty is endowed with the 
                   Dazzle of the Flash,
                   and Her Body Streams with the
                   Ambrosia of Yoga.
