Truths of plant medicine, psychedelics, magic, and A Course In Miracles. A magic assisted psychotherapy.

Dearly Beloved,

Much has been written about what plant medicine, entheogens, or psychedelic compounds are, their role in spirituality, and their capacity for healing. There have been many spiritual teachers who have spoken against them and others who have spoken for them. The Holy Earth Foundation Co. through the “I am one Self” platform, is here to speak out and help provide some answers to still questioning minds and the minds of others who have reached erroneous conclusions.  One is also here to provide guidance and integration support, through Spiritual Life Coaching and/or Spiritual Retreat, for those who have decided to explore their healing potential and resonate with these teachings of truth.  

These teachings offer you the opportunity to learn and practice miracle or true forgiveness and discover the beauty of spiritual sight, real vision, or Christ-Vision in the field of psychotherapy with these medicines. That said these medicines are not for everyone. They are not necessary for everyone on their healing journey, only the silent Voice of Forgiveness is.  They are only for those who feel Called to them as an aide in their process of recovery from the ego’s thought system and belief you’re body. One suggests that before you condemn them, be willing to thoroughly investigate and find out the truth of the matter instead of living in fear of what you don’t understand.

Be open to a perspective of these medicines and others, from the point of view of the teaching of “A Course In Miracles” and my own direct experience ingesting a variety of medicines in a miracle-minded meditative practice in solitude, as well as in the community since 2017.  Over the years I have sat with LSD,  MDMA, and psilocybin on numerous occasions. I have done some work with phenethylamines and iboga & ibogaine as well. The vast majority of my work in this field has been with  5-MeO-DMT as chaliponga  and N,N-DMT as chacruna, along with the MOAI Ayahuasca. A magical brew I have embraced many dozens of times, which includes a non-traditional setting at home in the US in both micro-dose and large dosage, and with 5 different families of the Peruvian Amazon. I am here to testify these tools can assist a person in understanding spiritual truths such as the following;

• The addiction to self-centered thought or the ego’s thought system. (Ayahuasca)

• Ending the addictive cycle; which is a grievance against the now or one’s mental condition and finding it lacking. Self-centered thinking or thinking about the “me who is body” and the “not me” as others and the world, searching externally for a solution to fill a void and projecting blame or guilt on someone or something to save you or bring you joy. This a mental obsession of possessive thought about the thing avoided or desired, creating compulsive action or using externals propelled by sick thinking. This results in more guilt and grievances as the false solution of incorrect thinking continues. (Ayahuasca - Psilocybin)

• Looking at the world with an open mind and heart with the curiosity of a child, you discover Christmas every day making it easy to learn. So many boxes to shake and gifts to open at the feet of Jesus or Atonement. (LSD)

• The authority problem or problem of using time to make a false image of yourself and others, which brings division and conflict or pain in relationships. (MDMA)

• When you drop being a critic of yourself and others, letting go of grievances and living in past hurts and opinions a miracle of love occurs.  You are completely open without the wish for a private mind and enter into communion with those around you. You feel real intimacy, trust, love, and peace. (MDMA)

• You fear silence and stillness as your Self and realize that the movement of self-centered thought keeps the false image going. You are afraid of a silent still mind because stopping thinking means dying to the false self. (Psilocybin)
  

• You as silence and stillness are immeasurable and limitless peace. Sound has nothing to do with who yo really are and your native language of Silence. (Ayahuasca)

• Grievances are what keep the mind sick and shackled to the body. Let go of them and you can enter other dimensions of existence beyond the physical world.  (Ayahuasca, Psilocybin)

• The nature of Reality, God, and Self is Light. (Iboga, Ayahuasca/DMT, Psilocybin, LSD, and so many others)

• You are not body and have an angelic heritage. (Ayahuasca, Psilocybin)

• Separation is never a solution but rather a dangerous delusion. Leave the communion of the tribe of Light and discover darkness and pain. (Ayahuasca)

• Everyone has a song in their heart they have to play. If don’t play your song you will be depressed in denial of Self expression. (Ayahuasca)

•  When you surrender to what is happening and allow it instead of fighting, which is thinking, you heal. (Ayahuasca, Psilocybin)

• If you step back; by dropping your own judgment and motives, and let the Spirit guide your thoughts with inspiration, you experience limitless creativity of the mind. (Psilocybin)

·      

• If you defend yourself you are attacked. (Ayahuasca)

• “I am God's Son, His Son can suffer nothing, and I am God’s Son”. (Ayahuasca, Psilocybin)

• When you turn away from your belief in physical sight you begin to live with spiritual sight. (All forms of psychedelics I worked with.)

• Miracle or true forgiveness is the answer to healing your most challenging problems. As you see, think, and treat others, you will treat yourself.(All forms of psychedelics I worked with. What a miracle!!!!!)

Truth you will have to find out for your Self.

Plant medicine, entheogens, and/or psychedelic compounds are a very extensive topic as it transverses the entire field of healing consciousness, which includes all healing forms of spiritual law.

The truth is, this is an area (psychedelics and medicines in general) of great misunderstanding and false pride, sometimes better understood as an incomplete understanding or misinformation due to ignorance, cultural conditioning, profiteering, and propaganda. This has produced fear, disdain, and bad practice in many spiritual circles and in today's modern medicine. This includes the ignorance of many; 12 Step recovery organizations such as AA and NA, mainstream religions, teachings of indigenous plant medicine cultures that go back thousands of years, vital ancient spiritual traditions such as Vedanta, and the many forms of modern phyco-therapy, such as a Ketamine treatment.

One wants to express once again that much of this will be in the language or point of view from A Course of Miracles ,  which does in fact advocate for the use of these medicines as safe and  temporary healing devices or in Course terms, “magic”. This is what one refers to as “magic assisted psychotherapy”. Terms we will begin to define now.

What is magic?  Magic equates to an optical illusion. The illusion of separation and belief your are a body. It is a false perception of differences as judgments that uses space and time as a mental projection producing an image that consists of touch, taste, smell, sight, instinct, and emotional feelings that bear witness to a world that is not real and solutions that seem to have lasting effects but don’t. A false perception that tells you externals are the holy grail. The source of this optical illusion, which is the image of this world experienced through the physical eyes, is veiled, denying your mind is the actual cause and the world you see is your own effect. And denying the fact that your own mind gives externals, including all medicines, all the power that they have to make you sick or help to heal your mind. The function of ego is to do just that, to live in denial you always get the outcome you want.

Let’s consider a few quotes from ACIM as we move forward:

“Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. Perception is a result and not a cause. And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it means anything. And where there is no meaning, there is chaos. (ACIM, T-21.in.1:1-12)

My family, we are looking at our own condition mental outside ourselves. A world of projected order of difficulties. Microcosms within macrocosms that is a universe of separation we need to re-integrate. You are the Universe from atom, to solar plexus, to sun, to milky way, and beyond. You are not body. The way to heal is to understand what real-vision by way of forgiveness and live with the spiritual eye of the Holy One. Replace your body image of yourself with a new image of Self as Light at one with the world. Only this way will your life have real meaning, free of diseases, or you can choose chaos. The choice is yours. There is no difficulty this holy vision can not solve. What else could we want to work towards but this?

“As all therapy is psychotherapy, so all illness is mental illness. It is a judgment on the Son of God, and judgment is a mental activity. Judgment is a decision, made again and again, against creation and its Creator. It is a decision to perceive the universe as you would have created it. It is a decision that truth can lie and must be lies. What, then, can illness be except an expression of sorrow and of guilt? And who could weep but for his innocence?

Once God’s Son is seen as guilty, illness becomes inevitable. It has been asked for and will be received. And all who ask for illness have now condemned themselves to seek for remedies that cannot help, because their faith is in the illness and not in salvation.”

 “Healing is therapy or correction, and we have said already and will say again, all therapy is psychotherapy. To heal the sick is but to bring this realization to them.” (ACIM, P-2.IV.1:1–3:7)

“Healing must occur in exact proportion to which the valuelessness of sickness is recognized. One need but say, “There is no gain at all to me in this” and he is healed. But to say this, one first must recognize certain facts. First, it is obvious that decisions are of the mind, not of the body. If sickness is but a faulty problem-solving approach, it is a decision. And if it is a decision, it is the mind and not the body that makes it. The resistance to recognizing this is enormous, because the existence of the world as you perceive it depends on the body being the decision maker. Terms like “instincts,” “reflexes” and the like represent attempts to endow the body with non-mental motivators. Actually, such terms merely state or describe the problem. They do not answer it.

The acceptance of sickness as a decision of the mind, for a purpose for which it would use the body, is the basis of healing. And this is so for healing in all forms. A patient decides that this is so, and he recovers. If he decides against recovery, he will not be healed. Who is the physician? Only the mind of the patient himself. The outcome is what he decides that it is. Special agents seem to be ministering to him, yet they but give form to his own choice. He chooses them in order to bring tangible form to his desires. And it is this they do, and nothing else. They are not actually needed at all. The patient could merely rise up without their aid and say, “I have no use for this.” There is no form of sickness that would not be cured at once.

What is the single requisite for this shift in perception? It is simply this; the recognition that sickness is of the mind, and has nothing to do with the body. What does this recognition “cost”? It costs the whole world you see, for the world will never again appear to rule the mind. For with this recognition is responsibility placed where it belongs; not with the world, but on him who looks on the world and sees it as it is not. He looks on what he chooses to see. No more and no less. The world does nothing to him. He only thought it did. ¹Nor does he do anything to the world, because he was mistaken about what it is. Herein is the release from guilt and sickness both, for they are one. Yet to accept this release, the insignificance of the body must be an acceptable idea. (ACIM, M-5.II.1:1–3:12)

These are two very powerful sections! Read them again and again and observe your own life.

As you can see the ego’s magic trick denies that you are the world and the world is you produced by your own thoughts. An illusion of projected thought identification in time. What magic does is, it seems to separate the field of experience or states of mind into levels, that seem to be independent of themselves and a cause unto themselves, much of which appears to be antecedent to your own thinking or existence on earth.

The trick of the ego is one of a perceived separation of cause and effect through the use of false belief, space and time, judgment, blame or guilt, and the perception of differences, among other mental facilities, rendering much of your experience of living in the world as a state of being in a powerless duality. A state in which you are pushed around internally and seemingly externally by external forces of all kinds, including the elements, disease, and demands of the body.  This is the story of separation from God and the belief in duality, which again is an optical illusion. The ego is the magician part of your mind that wants you to believe that life happens to you outside of your own choices and that physical matter is beyond your control.

In false perception or illusion, it isolates things off into bits of separate events, objects, feelings, and sensations.  It says that the cause of all situations experienced (i.e.;  physical illness, loss of employment, the end of a romantic relationship for whatever reason, genocide or rape, and anxiety or manic depression to name a few), which are all effects as perceptions of experience in consciousness, seem to be generated by something outside of you.  It’s a lie that life is a mindless affair of random events and denies the reality that you are living your own dream or nightmare.

Magical beliefs always lead to magical solutions. If the cause of the problem seems external to you, you will always look to remedy the problem with something external to you. Most of the world believes this and it’s a dirty trick played in relationships of all kinds as life is relationship to whole. Today's modern medicine, traditional therapy, economics, ecology, and conflicts around the world are all seen upside down.

A Course in Miracles could be viewed as a course in mind training in which the illusion of a perception of separation and lack is corrected and magical powerless beliefs about ourselves are undone. That said, the fact is magic is an aid in the process. This takes place more effectively when we have faith that the cause and solution to the problem are in the same place, in our own mind, allowing correction to take place, and discovering the power of the limitless Mind in a dream of forgiveness, Christ-vision, and oneness with Life.

The process requires we are willing to let go of the belief we are a victim of the world who must defend or protect ourselves from external forces and rely on external solutions. In our determination to stop using guilty means, projecting blame for the cause of pain and source of remedy on externals, along with no longer allowing ourselves to feel shame for our unconscious projections, we can use medicines consciously. This allows the miraculous to happen and the separation to begin to end. Then we can go beyond them! We can forgive ourselves for what never really happened in an illusory dream and see the world as helpful and everything in it as our innocent one Self beyond the body as immortal light and with a powerful healing mind.

One of the key illusions in this magic world used to keep the illusion going is the illusion of levels and level confusion. This is where you are confused about where the cause or the effect of a problem is coming from and seems to be a cause by itself.  Remember the cause of all illness is in the mind, not from the body level which includes the brain. The body is not capable of making its own disease, nor is it caused by external factors.  It can only respond to your own thoughts or instructions. If you are sick it's responding to mis-thought. This is the same with medicines. The effect of medicine or the experience it produces is caused by your own mind, based on the outcome that you want.  

A few more quotes from ACIM to review. I know you can do it!

“A major step in the Atonement plan is to undo error at all levels. Sickness or “not-right-mindedness” is the result of level confusion, because it always entails the belief that what is amiss on one level can adversely affect another. We have referred to miracles as the means of correcting level confusion, for all mistakes must be corrected at the level on which they occur. Only the mind is capable of error. The body can act wrongly only when it is responding to misthought. The body cannot create, and the belief that it can, a fundamental error, produces all physical symptoms. Physical illness represents a belief in magic. The whole distortion that made magic rests on the belief that there is a creative ability in matter which the mind cannot control. This error can take two forms; it can be believed that the mind can miscreate in the body, or that the body can miscreate in the mind. When it is understood that the mind, the only level of creation, cannot create beyond itself, neither type of confusion need occur.” (ACIM, T-2.IV.2:1-10)

“All material means that you accept as remedies for bodily ills are restatements of magic principles. This is the first step in believing that the body makes its own illness. It is a second misstep to attempt to heal it through non-creative agents. It does not follow, however, that the use of such agents for corrective purposes is evil. Sometimes the illness has a sufficiently strong hold over the mind to render a person temporarily inaccessible to the Atonement. In this case it may be wise to utilize a compromise approach to mind and body, in which something from the outside is temporarily given healing belief. This is because the last thing that can help the non-right-minded, or the sick, is an increase in fear. They are already in a fear-weakened state. If they are prematurely exposed to a miracle, they may be precipitated into panic. This is likely to occur when upside-down perception has induced the belief that miracles are frightening.” (ACIM, T-2.IV.4:1-10)

The reason it's called a compromised approach is that we are still relying on external means to heal us, which maintains a piece of guilt in consciousness. Why? Because we blame externals. Nothing from the world can give us lasting peace. External tools are tools that don't last. They may heal a symptom or a fragment of consciousness, but not the deeper condition that leaves room for disease to spring up somewhere else in another form. As we grow we let go of more and more externals but that doesn't mean we don't gain insight from them.

As an example, one has been drinking Ayahuasca and working with other medicines visiting angelic realms for many years. The practice has helped me let go of grievances, open the spiritual eye, stop playing the victim, let go of the belief I'm a body, and forgive myself so I can be one with my environment. I temporarily realize a state of innocence when I am journeying. When I surrender there is stillness and I visit another world, but it doesn't last because the tool is temporary. The ego's thinking returns but it can't take away the insights gained. The same process is used in everyday life when I'm not working with medicines but working with the Holy Spirit exclusively. I am applying the same lessons learned working with the medicines but I'm not leaning on externals. An immortal internal Voice and mind of immortal light is my Guide. The result is the spiritual eye opens more and more. In my present state I'm still with angels in another world but without the aid of medicine. That world is not as well defined as it is when I'm journeying with medicine but that's okay, I still have some work to do, which includes going beyond the medicine myself when I no longer feel Called to it.

“Magic is the mindless or the miscreative use of mind. Physical medications are forms of “spells,” but if you are afraid to use the mind to heal, you should not attempt to do so. The very fact that you are afraid makes your mind vulnerable to miscreation. You are therefore likely to misunderstand any healing that might occur, and because egocentricity and fear usually occur together, you may be unable to accept the real Source of the healing. Under these conditions, it is safer for you to rely temporarily on physical healing devices, because you cannot misperceive them as your own creations. As long as your sense of vulnerability persists, you should not attempt to perform miracles.” (ACIM, T-2.V.2:1-6)

I understand the above may be a bit confusing. Let’s clear up a few ideas now with more to come in the future.  Mis-creations can be both harmful or helpful. A mis-creation is any thought creation that doesn’t last forever. We are not in creation, we are in a world where nothing lasts and don’t understand the power of our minds. We need temporary healing help because we live in a temporary world in which we believe in its laws, and are afraid to let go of the instruments of the world because we believe in what we made.

Many of us are not in a state of mind in which we are able to accept an undiluted miracle, which is a correction in mind that heals a grievance without assistance from externals. We may be a person who relies on insulin, dialysis, or needs heart surgery.  These are externals or magical solutions to problems of the mind in which the person should use externals to help heal, keeping them stable, and living in less fear so they can learn and address the condition in the mind. This is no different from a person suffering from so-called IBS, ADD, OCD,  PTSD, addiction to opiates, or the belief you are a body, who begins to address the illness with ayahuasca, ketamine treatment , MDMA, or iboga. Every illness listed above is one of sick belief, emotion, and thinking.  The sickness of believing you are body, a slave to guilt, or a slave to the conditions around you which are your own mind. A belief you are weak and vulnerable which is what the body is. Only vision corrects this because it is the replacement for the image of being a body. The power of this vision can be brought with you into your “magic assisted psychotherapy”, as you learn to practice miracle forgiveness as your way of life. The Holy Earth Foundation will help you.

We need “magic assisted psychotherapy”, which includes psychedelics, where we can begin to make the mindless mindful. We can accept the power of our minds and live in intention as we instruct our minds to heal the mind and therefore heal the body. We do this with the goal of letting go of magic spells or medicine, which we can use safely, as we learn to stand without externals in all forms and rely only on the Voice of God in Silence. A Voice that teaches us how to use what we have been using to imprison our minds in a dream of attack; to free our minds. With the Mind we use the power of desire, the acceptance of true ideas or belief, and faith in a healing dream in which we see the world reborn in the light of forgiveness. When we are ready we can let go of all medicines, including “A Course In Miracles” and all our books. Those were just externals too. Just another form of external medicine or the problem of external agency. A topic for another day

There will be more articles written and posted on the site in the future on this topic. Those teachings will be generalizable across all forms of medicine and life.  Even if you don’t feel called to psychedelics you will find value. You will learn about what is the same and what is different. You will learn the form doesn’t matter. Only the meaning matters and discover a life of meaning.

One welcomes your questions and concerns. Please write in @info@iamoneself.com There will also be some retreats coming out. If you are interested, please reach out. Thank you for reading this communication.  

Some final words from our Teacher.

“Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.” (ACIM, W-189.7:1-5)

Much Love,

God Saves, Kenney
