Thoughts on Plant Medicine

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Albert Einstein

The spiritual philosophy behind plant medicines is that when we consume them we absorb and are able to take on the consciousness of the plant. Because plants are closer to the earth this allows us to communicate more freely with the infinite wisdom of original consciousness.

Much like trying on someone else’s glasses, we have the opportunity to see things from another perspective.

We momentarily escape the confines of our own rigid thinking, and can release stagnation, reveal hidden truth, and communicate freely with the divine.

This of course is also possible through many years of spiritual practice, but plant medicines offer a shortcut to divine awareness for anyone who feels called to try it.
