I am curious now. Let us hear it, please.

I am making way too many references to this experience of mine, but when I was in South America, I have spent time with a member of the Krishna Consciousness. This person made sure she said "Hare Krishna" to everyone she met (in subtle ways). The reason is those words purify people from Karma. She wasn't converting people at all, actually, she sort of kept it secret because she didn't want to get people's prejudice but she found subtle ways to cleanse other people. The person didn't need to know what "Hare Krishna" meant.

In the same way, it would be nice if you could say the words, not so we may understand them necessarily but so they may purify us in a way.

I think my story is relevant, because this particular person I'm talking about went to a jungle shaman (Everyone knows about the amazonian shamans!) not too far from where we were and the shaman said she didn't need his hallucinogenic drink because she was above that (spiritually speaking), she could see ghosts and auras.

Anyways, I am curious to here what that shaman had to say, what was your question. It can only do good. And you've already mentioned the story. The value of it won't be diminished from being shared. It will only grow.

When a bee pollinates a flower, who knows if any new plant will blossom from it, but it's the only way it will ever happen.

Besides, you told your friends, and I would be impressed that three users of drugs would be the only people at a high enough level of wisdom to understand this, and not us, which have lots of hallucinogenic experience (That is, dreams). Besides, my understanding of Shamanic practice is that drugs are only a facilitating tool that wouldn't even need to be used by someone who is in great relationship with nature and whatever is beyond, ex. Sivason.
