Simon Green - The problems of the throwing out of babies with bath waters: Whose paradigms are we really shifting?
WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that the following program may contain images and voices of deceased persons.
Synopsis:
For at least 25 years, Simon Green has worked in the Healing Arts, and for 20 deeply engaged with the “entheogenic” plant centred systems of Curanderismo of Latin America. Simon has also engaged with, befriended, and worked alongside healers from the world’s oldest continuous cultures here in Australia, his home continent.
In the course of his career, Simon has witnessed time and time again the spiritual root of illnesses at both an individual and cultural level and the profundity of healing potential afforded in the recognition of and mediation between the unconscious and the conscious, the human and non-human worlds.
Despite the world’s affirmations, over decades, of the veracity and authenticity of my observations and cosmovision, Simon has no definitive model, no ten commandments to fix the profound unwellnesses of our time. What Simon does have is story and action, and he shares with us tales of that landscape in the hope of inspiring change within the ontological structures writ large in (and profoundly 'buggering up') physical, social and geographical bodies.
An ontological shift is profoundly needed, and that shift cannot be mind based alone; in fact, our shift of understanding of our mind and it’s place within our ecosphere is fundamental to healing. This is something that traditional healing structures have known, in the words of a now departed friend, “from ever since”. So in his honour and in recognition of the countless human and non-human wisdoms and experiences which inform and support any “new” discoveries in the realm of art, science, and culture, Simon shares with us some stories from the fire.

Entheogenisis is broad. This is not my end of the spectrum, but respect: my respect to the organisation continues.
Really appreciate yr work Simon... I had one of those unclassifiable kinds of experience after my first Ayahuasca ceremony... despite having many years of experience with psychedelics, primarily mushrooms... I met these spirit entities in a vision and had this 'spirit intrusion'(?) settle over my heart... the result of which, without going into the story, was that I cried every day, often multiple times, for about a year, over this thing, this gestalt of situation and feeling, that had been projected into me and which never left me alone... until a friend gifted me a session with a woman who calls herself a shamanic practitioner, who did an excellent job of helping me, and to (both of) whom I am forever grateful. Even so, 10 years+ later, the memory of that condition is still confounding and intensely emotional ...
I didn't realise captain jack sparrow was knowledge on Ayahausca
48:48 What are the symptoms of being hit with a virote?
Is it even possible to occur in neo-shamanic, non-traditional contexts and if so, what hope does one have to recover?
Presumably the curanderos with 200 years experience are thin on the ground in Australia.
Also presumably it would not take a brujo that length of time to become proficient in dark arts.
How many people have undiagnosed darts lodged in their spiritual backsides and no ability to heal themselves or even understand the nature of the condition?
I am wanting to get in touch with Simon. Can you suggest how? Does he have a website?
