Have you read this novel? Dune is one of the must reads for anyone growing up in this era of transformation and technology. It was created by Frank Herbert in the 1960s and it still has meaning (in addition to some of the highest ratings for Best Sci Fiction book and audio book). Personally I've read every Dune story written by Frank Herbert and many of them written by his son Brian. I've chosen a few quotes for you below that seem to represent the changes that have come to news during the Obama administration 2012. Many of these quotes have something to do with the opinions or observations of the characters. These are selected from Book 4: God Emperor of Dune. Personally I love this book and intent to re-read it because originally I disliked it due to cynicism of the main character Leto II. Enjoy, Hugh T Alchemy The following quotes come from a collection assembled by the fine author at  nightsolo.net  please visit his site for the complete works of Dune quotatio...

I'm a great mushroom enthusiast and an admirer of Eco Warriors like Paul Stamets. I felt it necessary to post the following videos explaining how incredible the force of mushrooms are on this planet Earth. Please enjoy my favorite Ted Talk by Mr Stamets:  I believe that this was the first time I ever saw Paul:  This is a great short video on Morel patch making:  Fungi were the first species of life on this planet to come on land from the Ocean of Evolution:  If you enjoyed these videos, please subscribe or send me a comment. Also Paul has some amazing books that I totally recommend. The best book by him that I have read is "Mycelium Running." By the way, there are legal magic mushrooms out there (in the states that is). Check out Gold of Sunshine for the  Amanita Muscaria , a mushroom long steeped in tradition and history. Sincerely, Hugh T Alchemy

On this ever expanding quest to live   the most inspired life , my friends and I are offering amazing services for the holidays plus a Yule Gift for you with purchase of any healing services. During this amazing time of year we are called to be compassionate, loving and to have healing communication with Family and close friends in order to weather to "dark" times before the return of the Sun on the Winter solstice. The Astrology for Changing Times:   Mercury is in Retrograde so it's a time to complete old and unfinished tasks. For many, this retrograde can bring communication breakdowns, technology failures, travel and timing awkwardness. For me and my son, retrograde is time when our luck changes because we were born under Mercury Retro. From Thanksgiving until Jan 1st, Mercury will be in this state of causing confusion in most peoples schedules. Try to be understanding and let go of the communication problems associated with this season. AND IF ALL ELS...

My hair is about 18 inches long and it has become heavy enough where it breaks...AND I'M OVER IT! So my friend Totally Traci of BestBeautyFoods.com gifted me with a wonderful two part herbal solution. This is day three and I've been taking the "Hair Restore" product internally (it's an alcohol tincture containing saw palmetto, pygeum root, nettle, horsetail, rosemary, and burdock root), twice daily. Additionally, I'm topically spraying my scalp with the product and taking an over-the-counter saw palmetto extract. We will see if this strengthens and lengthens my hair. Stay tuned for notes and videos of my progress.  ____ Oh and if you have had hair restoration success with NATURAL products, message me or Traci of BestBeautyFoods.com ----- Trevahr of Waking Within

So my friends I have been dreaming again. It's interesting what's coming up and where I'm popping up. Many of my friends have reported dreams about me and I love some of the sharing of these things. So I started a Dream Collectors Club with regular monthly meetings and dream gatherings on the full moon where people attempt to dream journey in a place together as a group. The following two dreams took place on June 1st (early morning) and June 2nd (early morning) and where related to people in my community and life. Just to let you know, I live in the Pacific Time region and most of my dreams take place in the mornings after I go to bed quite late. I usually go to bed around 1 or 3am. The more recent of the dreams was recalled on June 2nd after the moon went into a "New" phase. In this dream, I was at a large residence in an area that felt like San Diego and was attending some event at a this location. I seemed to be invited and to know most of the people. I th...

Dear Universe, I met someone who I will forever remember when I hear or sing this song: "Walking through the Holy Fire. Raising the Vibration (2x) Stepping through the Sacred Flame (with the Sacred Earth). Deepening Relations (2x)" My travels through the American Southwest have been amazing as well as graceful and flowing. I came to do ritual and to connect with community and I found myself dreaming of a woman every time I heard the last line of that song/chant. Deepening Relations! i'm deepening relations... Over the course of a night we must have sang this song lines at least twenty (maybe forty) times. Every time that the last part of the chant would roll around I could look to my right and smile at this darling woman. Who knows what she was going through her mind body spirit and what processes was allowing herself. All I knew and experienced was this profound love for her. Everytime that the words "deepening relations" were sang, I felt a love eternal and an...

“Trevor: I thought this rambling message more appropriate to send personally rather than to comment on the website. Please excuse its rambling nature. As an Elder who has been a Pipe-carrier and Sun Dancer with the Lakota for over two decades, I have a few comments (well, more than a few): I too have been initiated into The Mankind Project; however, in this context, I found it inappropriate...it sounded like a pitch...I also found the use of "aho" as sounding like a group of non-Traditional men, condescending to Native Peoples. I too have studied in Peru and Bolivia. and am a chumpi paqo from the only two lineages left with the knowledges of how to use those particular muya kullas. I have spent time with the Q'ero in their tiny hamlets, in ceremonies, initiations, and empowerments. I find very little connection between men's groups (which I do find much value in) and shamanism. In fact, up on the Rosebud & Pine Ridge rez's, the word, "Shaman" is used...

Last night, I was gifted with an in-person interview with Ralph Metzner Ph.D. that can has brought my awareness to shine more brightly on other areas of study. My time with Ralph, truly encouraged me to learn about alchemy of the ancient times, divination, expansion and contraction of consciousness, journeying to the well of remembrance, and the possibility of the Annunaki. Later that night, I went to bed thinking about the possibility that star beings came to the earth and sort of helped genetics along with the humans. Even the scenes of violence in a movie that my roommates were watching were strangely invaded by questions: What if we are hybrids of another race of beings? What if the violence isn't truly human...it's just nature and the brutality of organic DNA that lived here millions of years ago? We do share common ancestors with the dinosaurs, so what of our own reptilian brains? Check out the interview and post me some comments about what you think or what thoughts ...

Yes we talked with Two Buck Chuck from Napa CA. Although, it's not the Charles Shaw that you may know from Trader Joes'. Listen and enjoy this fun interview about drugs, healing and CHANGE! Charles was a little late to interview so please forgive the technical difficulties at the beginning of the show, but if you have time to listen through to the end, you will have found some value or at least some humor in what was said. (Pay special attention to the stuff about ayahuasca for a pop quiz coming to this blog soon) Listen to internet radio with EntheoRadio on Blog Talk Radio Trevahr Hughes

Dear Readers, I highly recommend the interview with Richard Meech about the recently released film Vine of the Soul: Ayahuasca His use of Spirit and direct channels through this sacred herb and his filmaking are priceless and this comes across with you speak with this man. I was truly empressed with the way he is a role model for healers and artists as a filmaker and moreso as a human being. Honored to call Mr Richard Meech my friend.

Hi Sacred Spiral Friends, I am doing ONE FINAL SHAMANIC DRUM JOURNEY with the methods that I learned from Thaddeus Wilson (guest on Entheoradio.com tomorrow at 930am). So tomorrow is your last chance to experience my teachings before i continue to UPGRADE my education and training by visiting Dr. Michael Harner in San Francisco next weekend. Thank you so much for helping me to learn and teach about shamanism. Next weekend marks my ascendance on this path as I will be INITIATED by my Teacher's Teacher's MASTER TEACHER. Some my recent ideas and life long philosophies are expressed in my recent blog entry entitled "If you can read this, YOUR LANGUAGE KILLED SHAMANISM" (http://wakingwithin.org) I encourage everyone reply, tag, comment and share more of your opinions with the Sacred Spiral and on my FB profile. So a reminder: Thaddeus Wilson (Shaman, teacher, healer) live on the Radio tomorrow (http://entheoradio.com) 930am Sunday/tomorrow ...and Shamanic Drum Journey at t...

Shamanism is Dead! Just like punk rock! And the next questions are natural: How/Why is it dead? And Who or What killed it? First let me explain the title of this essay: "if you can read this, your language killed shamanism." This concept has arisen in my life in two incidents. First, let it be known that I am a shamanic practitioner, neo shamanic priest, alchemist, and fluent English speaker(reader and writer). I also studied science, math, linguistics, and Asian philosophy in college. I became a yoga teacher before I was an ordained Shamanic Minister. The reason that I am so excited about Yoga as a path to free was that I experienced (in college for the first time), a concept of existence without words and thought outside of the languages i knew. This concept of thought outside of the language i knew, wasn't due to a lack awareness of language (remember I studies languages as my major) rather it was an awareness of something i didn't have words for. Meaning that word...

Dear Friends and Alchemists, I am writing out of excitment and satisfaction. Last week we completed class number three and the experiencial portion of the Salvia Divinorum Ethnobotany series. In a well intended, meditative setting with wonderful friends we experimented with altered states of consciousness induced by Salvia Divinorum leaves... ...and we were totally SUCCESSFUL with amazing and fun journeys and deep meditations. So in honor of Spiritual Growth and with reverence to the Spirit of the Sage we are planning to add regular experiential groups for people like you to experience this God Given Sacrament (while it's still legal). Everything comes with intentions for the highest good and the most learning so we will offer a lecture on the herbs and the traditional context (shamanism) of the herbal practices and we encourage you to do your own homework and research. Check out the British documentary series: "Sacred Weeds" for more info on Salvia Divinorum a...

Last week, I was granted the esteemed privilege of interviewing Ralph Metzner on live internet radio...I have included the interview from that experience within this blog post. The highlights of this interview include some awesome perspective shares of experiences the Ralph had at Harvard, with Timothy Leary, and with Ram Dass. Enjoy this and call in weekly to ask live questions to shamanistic guest speakers and psychedelic celebrity teachers and researchers. Namaste, Trevahr Listen to internet radio with EntheoRadio on Blog Talk Radio

"Most discipline is "hidden discipline" designed not to liberate but to limit. Do not ask Why? Be cautious with How? Why...leads inexorably to paradox. How traps you in a universe of cause and effect. Both deny the infinite." -Heretics of Dune

Tonight while out on the town for Cinco de Mayo, myself and my friend (switchboard operator Lori) interviewed Sara Huntley on EntheoRadio. (http://www.entheoradio.com/) Sara is a visual artist, art teacher, makeup artist, dance teacher, fire spinner, and contributing author to the MAPS (http://www.maps.org/) bulletin. I included some the art that she contributed by being true to her passion and inspired by psychedelic and entheogenic culture. Sara's art can be found at http://www.myspace.com/machineagemaya The interview went great and Sara is a peach! Sara even knew about Frank Herbert and the Dune series which really excited and tickled me. I nearly started dropping phrases that only Dune nerds would know (like the spice must flow and kwizat-hateract). I encourage you to listen the the interview and I assure you that it gets better as we go on late into the show...especially after having such incredible difficulty with getting Sara on the line. That interview was very in line with...
