There is something strange, very strange, going on inside the heads of people using the fast-acting psychedelic. Machine elves, anyone?

Have you encountered stick men, machine elves or other discarnate entities while tripping brains on DMT? If so, you’re not alone. The use of the powerful, fast-acting psychedelic dimethyltriptamine (DMT) generates reports of such entities on a regular basis.

DMT has been around for a long time, although it’s never been that popular—and encounters with extradimensional critters may be part of the reason why. Back in the 1970s, it was known as “the businessman’s trip” because you could take it at the beginning of the lunch hour and be back to normal it was time to go back to work. When smoked, the psychedelic effects begin almost immediately and fade away with half an hour.

“The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don’t tell you what to see.” ~ Alexandra K.Trenfor

There comes a time when we reach a level of awareness – about our selves and others – when we are able to function with love and security, slowly working on ourselves as we move towards the light. There may still be bad days, but all in all we will have dealt with the stealthiest parts of our shadows and are simply working towards being a ray of light for others; an example to follow.

With this comes great responsibility – perhaps the reason why many are avoiding it! – but this is where our true selves shine out. We become a teacher. Not a preacher. The ego preaches. The ego wants to tell everyone else that they are right and you are wrong. A teacher doesn’t need to do this. They have solved the problem of themselves and are simply existing, enjoying the experience of being alive.

In 2008, the loss of 11 billion dollars by the world’s largest investment company, AIG, and the bankruptcy of the US investment bank Lehman Brothers, triggered a domino effect of financial consequences which brought the entire capitalist system within a hair’s breadth of total collapse.

But, as the events leading up to the financial crisis were slowly unveiled, it became ever clearer that the crisis was caused, quite knowingly, by the bankers themselves.

The Cause

In the years leading up to the economic crisis in 2008, banks increased the funding for the riskiest loans (called subprime loans), from $30 billion a year to over $600 billion a year, rigged even higher interest rates on those loans, and then, while the bankers were making billions of dollars of profits off the borrowers’ high interest repayments, they made further profits betting against their customers ever being able to pay back the loans they had just been given.

The FBI warned the government about this in reports as early as 2006, the IMF’s chief economist, Raghurum Rajan, presented a paper to the men in charge of all the world’s major banks, including the Federal Reserve, warning of the potential collapse of the system due to dangerous incentives, and journalist Allan Sloan published articles in Fortune magazine and The Washington Post in 2007 – nothing was done.

Many of us live with the understanding that to turn off our personal chatter and quieten our mind involves us having ‘to do’ something, to either distract ourselves or refocus our attention.

Some of us are even unaware of how busy minded we have become. We live with a revved up speed of thought and don’t recognize its significance in our struggles with productivity, procrastination, and relationships.

We sometimes only realize the scale of our mental speed when it slows down enough for us to notice it. Much like hearing a noisy drill on a construction site next to our office, we don’t realize how intrusive and loud it is until it stops momentarily before then starting up again.

We all have an innate pull towards habits and pastimes to help us: holidays, hobbies, yoga, cycling, alcohol, walking, watching movies and our phones! The list is endless.

What if our understanding of having ‘to do’ something in order to quieten our mind becomes the obstacle?

To most Americans, the notion of our government having been overthrown is the fodder of conspiracy nuts or the province of people out of touch with reality. However, not only do the vast majority of Americans have no clue our government was overthrown at the start of the 20th century, they also have no comprehension of the insane and exorbitant price we are collectively paying as a result.

America once truly was a land of freedom and opportunity, yet without our knowledge, everything changed upon of passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. These changes where extensive in regard to how our government functioned, but from a citizen’s point of view nothing major or important happened. This was no accident but instead, an important aspect of their plan. The changes Americans would experience came slowly at first so nobody noticed or become alarmed, but eventually Americans were put on the rollercoaster ride we live with today.

“If cannabis were discovered in the Amazon rainforest today, people would be clambering to make as much use as they could of all of the potential benefits of the plant. Unfortunately, it carries with it a long history of being a persecuted plant.” ~ Dr. Donald Abrams, Chief of Hematology Oncology at San Francisco General Hospital

Approximately 106,000 Americans die yearly from prescribed medications, according to the American Medical Association. Even more frightening, preventable medical errors account for a staggering 400,000 deaths in the U.S. each year — and is considered the 3rd leading cause of death. “It’s equivalent to 2,000 commercial jets taking off each year knowing that they don’t have enough fuel to complete their journeys,” notes Peter Edelstein M.D. “Would you allow your spouse to board one of those planes? Your friend? A stranger?”

When you take the time to heal and nurture your inner child, you will find yourself once again exploring the world with curiosity and wonder, secure under the safety and watchful eye of your own unconditional love. ~Archangel Gabriel

When a person experiences a challenge tragedy or loss, one of the most common questions will be, “What happened?” Curiosity can help you attain knowledge and grow, but sometimes there is no room for it.  Asking for details does not benefit or help the person moving through grief….it is for you only. Please remember; if an individual experiencing pain approach you, put your ego aside.  They have come to you for a reason.  Your only job is to hold space, offer a shoulder and to commiserate with them if necessary.  Allow others to heal in their own way just as you wish to heal in yours. ~ Creator

An Empath is a person who has the ability to understand the emotional state of another individual.  There are many different types of Empaths and many levels of gifts and abilities.  It’s one thing to be an empath, it’s another to be a Heyoka.  

For the Heyoka Empath, there is little available information and yet is the most powerful type of Empath.  Heyoka or “Sacred Clown” is a Native American term and has been loosely translated to mean “Fool or Clown”.

This translation does not give justice to the true meaning of the term.  To say, to act in a manner that is different, backward, opposite of normal, gives us a clearer understanding.

The spirit of a Heyoka is the Great Mirror.  When you connect to a Heyoka, what you see in them will show you what you need to work on to evolve spiritually.  The Heyoka’s mirror is one of emotion, for however you react to them emotionally is their guidance to reflect back to you.

God said:

Beloveds, there is nothing you cannot change. You already know that nothing is permanent in the world. All is temporary. If life, as you perceive it, can change in a way that you don’t like, life in the world can also change for, not only the best, yet also for the miraculous. You can go for it!

You cannot just pick up life uncherished and shake life as if through a sieve and make it what you want it to be. What has to be changed is something within you. Has it been intolerable for you to think of changing yourself? The change I speak of is becoming closer to yourself and not to this façade you go by. Renovate your perception. Deepen your perception. See the world from a different angle, even the slightest different angle, and what you see as needing to change will change within itself without further direction from you.

You do have insights on occasion, yes? Perhaps insights are to be acted on and not kept out of your yard. Insights come to you for a reason. Ah, but, yes, how do you know an insight from something that preys on your mind?

Quite right, you don’t want to be carried away and run off and elope with all the ideas that cross your mind. You don’t want to run away with the idea that you are a Super Being, even as you are truly a Super Being. Yes, love yourself yet not go ga-ga over yourself.
