Conversation with an Alien

What does it all mean?

Substances: Salvia divinorum

Here is something I dashed off (actually, wrote frantically and excitedly) after a S divinorum journey this afternoon. I am sharing it here because I really wish to put it out, and there are not many other places where this will get a second glance. Also, I am not too keen on the *kind* of glances I would get from people with whom I might share it, if you know what I mean. I love to talk about what experiences with S divinorum and psychodelics might MEAN. After more than 20 or 30 encounters with the leaves, I still am never jaded or any LESS in AWE. Yes, I still feel at the tip of the iceberg, and I can only surmise I will be here for a good deal of time.

A Conversation with the Alien

Feeling in perfectly sound and sober mind I must say that I feel quite convinced that Salvia divinorum propels one into an experience with an Alien.

Quite a few people say, "Everything is sacred. So-and-so is sacred. You are sacred. I am sacred. For we are Life." But to actually feel sacred is astronomical. (This is what is missing yet this is the essential.) You actually become the universe -- you are not just talking about the universe, but you feel the universe, because you feel sacred. I have never encountered a more incredible sensation and emotive awareness. I can hardly find words to grapple for some sort of representation of it.

This viewpoint dawned because -- dawned exactly when -- I left my viewpoint and took a glimpse through the eyes of a very detached extraterrestrial. I know this sounds lunatic and that some proffer that I am misinterpreting the whole experience. I have tried interpreting it in many other ways, yet none of THEM make a damned bit of sense.

After taking four lungsful of Hierba de la Pastora I lay down, awestruck, yet intent on picking up on a little information. Keeping in mind that the words we use to convey ideas, do not convey the living reality of the situation: it applies here as it ever has. Here is what was offered to me:

"It is beautiful. Why don't you humans realize this? On a regular basis? Rejoice. No other moment matters but this moment. If you do not claim one moment -- just ONE -- your life and actions are altogether in vain . Now let me help you REMOVE the bullshit from your life. You cling to it like a child to his mother. So many chips encumbering and cluttering your soul's vision.

I'll afford a glimpse at life from my seemingly far-removed viewpoint. Noise is GONE. Time is suspended. So you can hop off the ride on this machine and stop the race, and realize why you're alive in the first place. The purpose of life is to find a way to be, truly, Alive.

I am only Alien to you because your eyes have been closed for so long; and it's the trappings of cultural convention. You cannot find freedom in pop culture; not if you value a freedom that will give purpose to your life. You have to listen to something of Intelligence instead of agreed-upon mass-mentality and insane consumerism. It is totally your and my responsibility. It's not a lonely path -- you don't have to do it all on your own, because there are beings that love you. You've clung mindlessly, yet so tenaciously, to the exterior for support and "love", that you have forgotten how it feels to be loved by God/Gaia.

To preserve is a most noble, the most noble, act. Because we are borne totally enlightened. We need nothing more. We truly need to rediscover this. There is essentially no work beyond conservation that needs to be done. If we are going to drive into the future so fast, as we do, we need to have some sort of Guide. Monkeys cannot trust themselves/one another. One need only look to history to know this. It is ripe time to open up a two-way channel to God.

And do not, do not, *do not* forget to love Everything. Even the shit.

Just go ahead and try changing something you do not love. Love it so and change it.

And keep self-contained. Do not let them get a hold of you and throw you into a psychiatric ward for having divergent thought. What the hell is divergent thought? Well, it's enough to get you locked up. Look at history to know this. But DO NOT let them take away a freedom they cannot, in all actuality, even dream of reaching. Don't let something get swiped from you that nobody really has the capability of swiping from you.

Be calm. Remember the best prayer is a big 'Thank-You.' Now you know Whom to thank.

I am the antithesis of affectation.
I am Truth, yet you contain me.
Your eyes are so cluttered and that is why you have forgotten that.
From this detachment comes such a Love.
This is not escape. This is temporary departure and then full-fledged re-entry. This is building clarity.
An intelligence that is not proliferated and emulated today, because it is practically immeasurable.
Yet it is the foundation for anything of substance.
What is CRAZY is purely subjective. Remember that. Really KNOW that.
Be calm like a pond has to be: in order to reflect the universe
around it. Remove the ripples that are cluttering your soul's vision. All-encompassing clarity is True Knowledge. This is the aim of life. It is also the only real blessed Power.
Calling this state "depersonalized" is horribly misleading. This word is the pinnacle of bastardizing language. This is how labels are, in essence, evil creations. In limiting they totally belie.
The aim of life is to realize it is Sacred. Your soul does not need help. It does not need fuel. It just needs to BE.
What is CRAZY is clinging to an idea as "truth" just because it is a popular majority or a principle of authority. The world was FLAT.
Andre Agassi was not far off when he said, "Image is everything." It sure makes a big difference whether you're going to get ahead in standardized society or not. How you represent yourself is key. On one very important level, it does not matter who you really are: an evil person with charisma is often unusually capable of achieving great status. Covering up unloving ideas and mentations (covering up who one is) with niceness, conformity and charm, should be called the Real Original Sin.

By the way, you are NOT all evil to the core. You are not borne sinners. You think this because you ARE borne impressionable, and you become what other people say you are. This is how you truly, sincerely forget yourself.

They are talking garbage. Do not let them impose their own stupid and misguided mentality--neuroses--on you.

What is loving, compassionate, strong and pleasurable should be liberated. Liberate it in yourself and you become ME.

The essence of this is: God is Alien. S/He is Alien to the conventional habitual thinking. The collective consensus-consciousness. S/He seems alien because we all have not had an appropriate introduction.

People cling to ego so much. That is how you are not enlightened.

Yet of course there is a reason people are selfish. They are afraid to be selfless.

It is so essential to see All Life as beautiful. Wonderful. And here for a reason.

We really should not slight and refuse to listen to people just because they do not have a medical-degree or a Ph.D. or a degree...The Buddha did not have a degree. Christ did not have a degree.

And, incidentally, if you care about your 'precious' ego so much, you will exert great amounts of energy 'defending' it.

You're slipping now...You're coming down...Hey, before you think you're on to something unique or great, realize we are all equal.

Human beings have learned how to do so many things. But do they want to really learn how the fuck to live?"
