Alchemy Z ~ Waking Within Blog

Let’s go on a journey into ourselves where time is endless and always feels dilated like we’re tripping, where lifetimes can be experienced in two hours, where people from times past are alive and everyone can fly or transform at will. In dreams, nature, gods, angels, demons and aspects of ourselves run wild and yet are completely in collaboration with us, especially if we gain Lucidity (the holy grail of dreaming). Classically I have been dreaming within my lifetime from the earliest times in my memory. I can remember dreams from when I was 5.  After many years of research into Lucid dreaming,meditation and mind states, and adopting nagualismo/Toltec Shamanism, I believe we all dream every night (often 8 dreams), but only some of us remember these visions. If you are lucky enough to remember any portions of your dreams at all, it’s my opinion that you are actually awakening from within and on a very powerful path to wholeness or spiritual development. We’re each on a hero’s journe...

In this series of articles, I will follow up about what a microdose is and how to dose with magic cactus or mescaline and conclude with a discussion of Paul Stamets and his recommendations for microdosing that seem to be a little popular and very experimental this year 2019 in the US. What is a Microdose - two definitions (theirs and mine): Microdose: A very low dose of something.  (In psychedelics this might be grams or micrograms) Microdosing , or micro-dosing , is a technique for studying the behaviour of drugs in humans through the administration of doses so low they are unlikely to produce whole-body effects, but high enough to allow the cellular response to be studied. In my experience with these two (Shrooms and San Pedro Cactus) and a secret third medicine (Salvia Divinorum and Microdosing) that I have acted as a guardian for the micro-dose is generally less than a gram for dried mushrooms and probably a fresh 8-ounce cup of juiced San Pedro (not cooked down for c...

Microdosing is an interesting shamanic art and alchemical practice. I personally practiced this several years ago with Psilocybe Cubensis, Magic Mushrooms and Magic Cactus (containing mescaline). I rather enjoyed the everyday experience and the substances did provide better days, uplifted mood, and courage in relationships and communication. I am unaware of a drug test that can detect Magic Mushrooms after 24 hours of being in your system and this may also be true with mescaline (but that depends on the test, although most employee drug tests won’t detect it). I have taken psilocybin mushrooms in qualities as small as .1 of a gram to ease physical and nervous pain (and headaches). I have found that once an individual becomes adjusted or comfortable with the microdose, it is incredibly easy to sleep on/through and helps with the visionary state between sleeping and waking (hypnagogia). Last year, I introduced a method of microdosing to my friends in the Phoenix, AZ area so that the...

Power Animal journeying is a practice that I learned to teach both directly from the founder, Michael Harner and several of his students. Its a practice that seems to be associated with sober journeying and music. Most shamanism is about altered states and consciousness changes, so don't think that because no drugs are generally used in this practice that you will not experience visions or a feeling of connectedness with the universe, nature and telepathy with animals and spirits. All things are connected and all things have vibration. Power, personal and shared, as well as healing One friend put it like this: Just like everything else in physics, energy resonates at a natural frequency. Animals can mirror those frequencies and since they are more simple creatures, we can use them for guidance if we become off in our frequency. There are several basic journeys to begin a shamanism interested person on their path. One of the best is the journey to the shamanic underworld t...

Currently, there is still a heavy, state and private organization biased push towards natural substances either becoming or remaining illegal while pharmaceutical drugs being fully accepted and legal in the USA, even as new evidence mounts to the efficacy of pure plant medicine from Nature. Much of American culture, including the medical establishment, is focused primarily on death and perhaps there many people who know more about this than I. You can see the outcome of our collective suicidal tendency everyday, in the way we work, in the way we go about life and the decisions made, with results rarely for the good of the whole in the long run, but just for a select chosen few and for a short amount of time. I might argue our society actually died some time ago and we are now just living on the fermentation before the rise of AI government, as we long for the memories of the "good old days" before “the Matrix” and geoengineering took hold. In time, the Earth will breakdow...

In my last article on the subject of mushrooms (the magic psilocybin containing kind), I talked about microdosing. To continue the subject of new ways to take psychedelics, I will share and expound upon two methods that when microdosing or otherwise I prefer, their effects and some of my personal stores with these processes. Method 1: Tea  Before the art of chocolate (see next section) was revived and perfected this was by far my preferred method for microdosing and sometimes psychedelic dosing (3 grams or more usually- if it's psilocybe cubensis). Often times this process can be simple, quick and tasty but has some differences in effect when compared to eating whole, fresh, or dried magic mushrooms. First, let's find the baseline mushroom experience that you will notice throughout the scene. Usually people find magic mushrooms on the street or dark web that have been dried and generally are a strain or "variety" (a hybrid/designer strain) of Psilocybe Cubens...

During my years as a teacher of Metaphysics and the series Defense Against the Dark Arts, I have encountered questions from students about energy, energy cords or parasitic connections to others and energy vampires. I have read and listened to many opinions on these subjects and find the following blog re-post from Cedar Stevens to be honest and helpful. It conveys many things I have talked about and encouraged students to practice.  Please read the following before going on to read more of my own words on these subjects. Original is available here: Cord cutting is a ritual done to remove unhealthy energetic attachments between yourself and another person or persons. I believe that Diane Stein was the first to detail this protocol in her book "Psychic Healing With Spirit Guides and Angels." I will transcribe her tech and append a number of variations that may suit your occasion. This is well-worked magickal practice which has developed considerably since her writing. ...
