Osiris Sinuhe González Romero: The Continuing Relevance of Indigenous Psychedelic Practices
CSWR Postdoctoral Fellow, Psychedelics and Spirituality Osiris Sinuhe González Romero explains the motivation behind his research into psychedelics and spirituality:
“I want to highlight the fact that if nowadays we are performing clinical trials, it's thanks to the Indigenous people, because they have been the keepers of the knowledge for several centuries, even millennia. Secondly, I want to highlight that there are, different cultural uses of psychedelics, not only the sacred or the medical ones. It's necessary to move forward to strengthen our frameworks and to move beyond these boundaries, to recognize the philosophical, political, creative, hedonistic, and palliative or compassionate...

The Other Side of the Gateway: Space Rocks as a Pantheist Limit-Case with Professor MJ Rubenstein

If the contemplation of plants can be a “gateway drug” to pantheism, then what lies on the other side of the gateway? If we consider ferns, maples, and maitakes to be not only animate, but (inter)personal, where will we stop? Rivers? Mountains? Pebbles and stones? This presentation turns to the space industry’s current priorities as tests of these limits. Considering the alleged emptiness and i...

    Note the double standard at the start of Calvos talk which shows him not taking his own premise seriously. We are so arrogant self obsessed etc as humans that we can't imagine others might be intelligent in other ways, he says, with some vitriol. So are human beings the only creatures on earth from whom this incredible empathetic capacity is to be expected? What is that if not a higher cognitive standard for human beings -- which is completely rational and understandable, but undercuts his point. Would he ever, if he could communicate directly with a blade of grass, scold it for not being empathetic and understanding us humans from our subjective point of view? Or do we celebrate its beauty without expecting that? Similarly we can be compassionate towards humans and actually celebrate the immense feats of empathy that have led us to understand more than any other animal ever has about the specific workings of creatures very different from us.

    The biblical "Tree of Life" is the tree that produces fruit for physical sustenance (fruit, vegetables, nuts...). The biblical "Tree of Knowledge" is the tree that produces fruit for spiritual sustenance (cannabis, Banisteriopsis caapi/Psychotria viridis - DMT, Opium poppy, Salvia Divinorum, Iboga, Acacia...). "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it" - Genesis 3:6 Spiritually speaking (gender aside), a patriarchy ends and a matriarchy begins with an understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God). Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8). Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process. In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary "ego" death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle. Mary's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as "Head to tail" (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. (John 12, verse 3) To carry the Ankh (now the female symbol ♀️) was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle. Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. Ganesha (like the elephant) wears God's cyclical nature on his face. A whole temple was dedicated to Hathor (ancient Egyptian diety), who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. ruclips.net/video/J0m0zJSEFK0/видео.html "See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. when you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba "My son, keep thy father's commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother" - Proverbs 6 : 20

    Please define what is exactly features and differences that constitute under the Personal and impersonal aspect of Brahman? If you say Personal Brahman is like Rama, Krishna, shiva etc like human form constitute personal brahman or saguna Brahman- that is the definition of Brahman given by theistic school of Vedanta? I think that is not correct--- Theist Vedanta -- has five aspects of Brahman-- achrca (human form)- Antaryami (inner soul)- Vibhava ( incarnation)- Vyuha (creation)- Para (transcendental) Para aspect is the indescribable Brahman in Theistic vedanta. Theistic vedanta- Both Brahman and Individual soul true nature is not anthropomorphic. This is mentioned in Sri bhasya. Madhvacharya, Ramanuja and in their commentary clearly states that Ulitmate brahman as infinite auspicious qualities and infinite forms -this does not mean that Brahman has anthropomorphic form only.. I recommend this monk to read First Tiruvaymoli composed by Nammalwar predecessor of Ramanuja-- he describes Visistadvaita Brahman as follows Could He be said to possess that one and not this other thing? No, He pervades, without intermission, the entire Universe, the region high up as well as those below the earth at all times; He abides in all non-sentient things (matter), having form and size as well as the formless sentient beings within them all (individual souls), and He is yet beyond the grasp of the senses. Blessed are we to have attained Him of peerless glory! We, the masculine beings over here, as well as those at a distance, near at hand and in between, the feminine species similarly situated, all things collectively seen here, there and everywhere, what can be individually pointed out as this, that and the other, the non-sentient things, good, bad, perishable and imperishable, things that were, are and will be, all these subsist in Him. (In other words, all these are sustained, directed and controlled by him). Be it said (as the theists say), “He is,” or (as the atheists say) “He is not”, (both ways) His existence is established. He exists, at all times and in all places together with the aggregate of the formless sentient beings and the non-sentient things with shape and size, both in the gross state (embodied and therefore visible) and in the subtle state (disembodied and therefore objectively imperceptible). Also If you say that Brahman is both Personal and impersonal? Where is this division in Brahman? In its nature or attributes? If you say this division is in the nature of Brahman- Brahman being निष्कल or undivided ----- will be scarified-------- this is against all Vedanta schools------ we cannot say that Sun is half dark and half bright in its nature. If you say this division itself is attributes-- Brahman will be with attributes only. Sun has rays - that rays are different types like infra red and ultra violet etc. Also If you say that Brahma shakti is real is there difference between Brahman and its shakthi---- If you say yes- Duality will result--- you cannot say it is another kind of advaita If you say no- both are same-------- Then you cannot say Shakti is changing . Those changes will apply to Brahman-- Brahman being constant, unchanging will be falsified. Then it will result in Yogachara Buddhist -every thing is momentary. If you say Both are inseparable and distinct- it will result in Ramanuja advaita. Where is your vijnana vedanta stands and differs? Please observe what you explain.
