Part Five: Cyber-Shamanism: The Fusion of Modern Technology with Ancient, Plant-Based Shamanism
By Zoe Seven
What I mean is that as soon as I noticed “something” that was “alive” in front of me my perceptual mechanisms immediately began to put an anthropormorphic shape on it. But since I had actually caught myself doing this I apparently short-circuited this mechanism. At any rate, what I am trying to say is that at one point during this experience I came in contact with another form of intelligence. These “beings” (to me they appeared as tall and lanky stick figures) are actually mechanisms that exist to insure the safe and proper running of the Universal Mind through balance. They are actually archetypes of balance. And according to what I received during this experience, one of the reasons why I happened to see them was because I had expanded my consciousness enough to enter into their psychic space.
This experience, like the other ones I’ve had with this particular teacher plant lasted about five hours and, during it, I felt a definitive interaction witn another form of intelligence. While my earlier two experiences with ayahuasca alone were more introspective in nature. Nonetheless they affected me deeply and further changed the notion I previously held regarding the nature of reality.
What’s more, the times I first combined ayahuasca together with brainwave synchronization, I felt as though I was having a very interactive experience because I was being downloaded with information about specific questions as soon as I wandered about them. This was not however, a communication with an anthropomorphic being(s), but rather communication with some sort of intelligence network.
Shortly after this encounter – with what I felt was a form of non-human intelligence – I became so intrigued that I began another type of research in earnest: Human/plant communication. After all, if shamans created this brew under the direction of another species, in this case, plants, and I in turn had the type of experience with it I just related, perhaps there was really something to this man/plant communication business after all. Indeed, as I continued with my new research I came to the realization by way of direct experience that plants are not only a sentient species capable of facilitating healing and modified states of consciousness but they are also capable of actually communiating with humans and much more.
