Chronicles the first modern ethnomycological and historically
documented look at certain species of fungi and their past and
present use as a source of healing, both body and mind as in
ancient primitive archaic rituals; and also as an aphrodisiac.
Modern day use of these fungi originating from seven personal
documented exchanges of communication between author John Allen and
Sasha Shulgin, and Jochen Gartz that describe--in detail and
photographs--the effects of both the ludible use of psilocybian
fungi throughout the ages to produce intense sexual euphoric
unions. Other families of fungi that produce similar effects but
contain different chemicals can result in timeless hours of pure
orgasmic pleasure. The aphrodisiac effects of mushrooms were first
reported around the time of the conquest of Nueva Espana. Francisco
Flores, Diego Duran and Bernardo de Sahagun described mushrooms
used by Aztecs priests and their followers to produce "provoked
lust". In the mid-20th Century several noted scholars, like R.
Gordon Wasson, Albert Hofmann, Weston LaBarre, Maria Sabina,
Florence Cowan, Eunice Pike, Tim Leary, Richard Alpert and Aldous
Huxley reported experiencing erotic euphoric effects and observing
erotic sensuality in others while they were under the influence
psilocybine. Many claimed they had found the perfect sexual
aphrodisiac. In some of these modern anecdotal materials we have
been taught that the majority of Mazatec Indian shamans,
curanderas, brujos, sabios/sabias, and their Indian participants of
mushroom vigils and Velada's, all refrain from sexual activity 4
days before and 4 days after a mushroom ceremony. To do so, as many
of the medicine men and woman all seem to agree on, is that it,
"would bring about a lasting madness." Yet some Indians have been
reported to regularly participate in sexual activities while on
mushrooms as well as on peyote. In the Florentine Codex, Sahagun, a
devout catholic, said that the mushrooms "aun provocan a lujuria,"
i.e., that they "even provoke lust." Wasson believed that Sahagun
may have been responsible for adding these words, and wondered why
they were inserted. He inquired if they were meant to either excite
the sixteenth century readers seeking always the Fountain of Youth
and new aphrodisiacs, or to incite his pious readers against the
mushrooms? Allen shares with the reader, a chronicle embellished
from notes in his personal files and memories of his experiences
with sacred mushrooms and sexual erotica. He features
pre---historical evidence of such sexual activities between humans,
animals, sex and mushrooms, and phallic symbolism, rites of spring
and fertility festivals.
Awaken your heart and mind to see your own capacity for
wisdom, compassion, and kindness.
When we awaken to our own light, it becomes possible to develop
real wisdom about our life. As wisdom allows us to see clearly, our
hearts break open with compassion for the struggles of our own
lives and the lives of all beings. Awakened with wisdom and
compassion, we are impelled to live our lives with kindness, and we
are led to do whatever we can to repair the brokenness of our
world. from the Introduction
At last, a fresh take on meditation that draws on life
experience and living life with greater clarity rather than the
traditional method of rigorous study.
Based on twenty-five years of bringing meaningful spiritual
practice to the Jewish community, well-known meditation teacher and
practitioner Rabbi Jeff Roth presents Jewish contemplative
techniques that foster the development of a heart of wisdom and
compassion. This contemporary approach to meditation accessible to
both beginners and experts alike focuses on using the distilled
wisdom of Buddhism and Judaism as a way to learn from life
experience. By combining these two traditions, he presents a model
that allows westerners both Jews and non-Jews to embrace timeless
Eastern teachings without sacrificing their birth traditions.
