PSILOCYBIN

Psilocybin mushrooms are perhaps the most ancient and sacred sacrament on planet earth. It is our belief that psilocybin mushrooms have been consumed by man for tens of thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands of years. We believe that psilocybin mushrooms allowed early man to commune with the spiritual realm, whereby early man received information downloads that allowed him to better survive on planet earth by building communities. There is evidence of ancient use of psilocybin mushrooms spanning the entire globe. Psilocybin mushrooms are found on almost every continent and its ancient use transcends time, geographic location, and culture.

Mushrooms are known as the internet of nature. Social beings, capable of awareness and consciousness. Similar to our brain they build a neurological network with information sharing membranes. Those membranes are able to react to change and collectively have the long-term health of their environment in mind. Of the thousands of mushrooms existing all around the globe our ancestors and modern scientists have identified several dozen that have unique combinations of healing talents, which improve our health.

Some of the main benefits are treating depression like PTSD, helping manage smoking, alcohol, cocaine addictions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, cluster headaches, and cancer-related or other end-of-life psychological distress. The compounds psilocybin and psilocyn have mind altering effects similar in some aspects to mescaline and DMT. The chemicals have a structure very similar to the structure of serotonin, a chemical messenger with important roles in our brains and digestive systems. Because of this similarity, psilocyn can bind to receptors in the brain that are meant for serotonin. Even though still classified as a hallucinogenic drug, the therapeutical and healing long term effects of this miniature pharmaceutical factories are no longer deniable. Moreover, it is our belief that the chemical structure of psilocybin was designed by source in order to allow man to commune directly with it via the serotonin receptors. The term “mystical experience” has been coined by modern researchers to describe the high dose psilocybin experience.

To date, researchers have been unable to pinpoint exactly what causes and/or what exactly is the “mystical experience.” We believe the “mystical experience” is where the person consuming the psilocybin mushrooms communes directly with the spiritual realm, thereby escaping a logical or scientific explanation for the experience. The factors that help determine whether a ceremonial journey is rewarding or “nightmarish” is the concept of ‘set’ and ‘setting’. A person’s ‘set’ (or mind-set) includes their mood, disposition, thoughts and expectations. A person’s ‘setting’ is the specific place and social situation in which they take this plant medicine.

Psilocybin should be taken in a ceremonial setting in a calm and familiar place or being in nature. Our psilocybin ceremonies will comport with other ceremonial traditions surrounding the ingestion of natural entheogens, and will be structured in such a way as to allow the participant with the optimal opportunity for interaction with the spiritual realm. As with all other natural entheogen ceremonies, this ceremony will begin with a prayer and a blessing of the sacraments.
