With the deepening awareness of conscious awakening and the unfolding understanding that comes from a life of sobriety and integration, I have found many concepts that have been tossed around by authors (myself included) to hold truths. There is no doubt that we tap into the subconscious when we authors channel our literary dances into prose and …
In the last three years I have met a lot people who have created a dependency on the plant medicines (drugs) in order to gain insight into dilemmas they perceive that they have in life.
