Quote by John Steinbeck

“Cualquier escrito que haya influido en la vida y el pensamiento de generaciones innumerables, es siempre importante. En la actualidad, hay millones de seres en las sectas y las Iglesias que sienten más la orden 'gobiérnale a el', y ponen todo su peso de esta parte y en la obediencia a ella. Y hay otros millones que intuyen la predestinación del 'tu lo dominarás'. Nada de lo que puedan hacer puede impedir lo que será. Pero el 'tu podrás' hace al hombre grande, esto lo pone al lado de los dioses, porque a pesar de su debilidad, de su cieno y de haber dado muerte a su hermano, todavía le queda la gran libertad de escoger. Puede escoger su camino, luchar para seguirlo y vencer.”

I found myself wondering if these medicines always 'hurt', or do they hurt so much now to show us how separate we are from nature? Perhaps these 'revelations in pain' are necessary in order for a personal apocalpyse to occur so you may have a shift in perception, and a greater understanding of your role in the whole? To realize that we are not foreign from nature, nature is where we come from and where we return to.”

“When San Pedro begins to affect your consciousness, it first feels as though a subtle wave of change occurs, and can best be described as a vibration of sunlight penetrating your energetic field. The medicine’s spiritual correspondence relates to masculine energies, the energy of the sun, and (in my personal experience) serves as a vehicle for remembering light through a presence of warmth.”
