The civilization of Egypt as we know spans back thousands of years to the days when the last great glaciers in the world were melting (10,000 BC). This information, as many of you may know, has been systematically removed and ignored from nearly every history book written in modern times. The Egyptians were an incredibly aware and spiritual society, which had deeply entrenched beliefs about reality as we perceive it as well as the realities that most of us are not aware of.

Spirituality played a huge role in the lives of Egyptians, and this is depicted in the hieroglyphs that they have left behind on the walls of their tombs or in the fragments of papyrus that are unearthed. Uncovered in this forgotten language are references to the tree of life. I am sure many of you know what I am referring to, the plant Acacia Nilotica. A tree that grows abundantly along the Nile River and was glorified by the Egyptians.

Acacia Nilotica contains Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT. DMT is not a rare topic amidst the articles on Collective Evolution and I advise all of you to check out the articles about the mind-blowing experiences that derive from DMT trips.  This is the same compound that is used in shamanic rituals in the Amazon with the drink Ayahuasca. Today, the idea that DMT can further ones experience on earth as well as having many healing qualities (both physical and mental), is slowly becoming more and more recognized. At this point I affirm that we are just at the beginning of a journey that many civilizations have taken before us, the Egyptians included.

Acacia Nilotica is portrayed hugely in Egyptian mythology. It is referred to as the tree of life, and from under this tree the first gods of Egypt were born. Osiris, god of the underworld, rebirth and the spirit was also born from an Acacia Nilotica tree. Osiris is also believed to live inside the spirit of all Acacia Nilotica trees. This is a very similar belief as held by the Amazonian Shamans and the people who have experienced Ayahuasca. A huge majority of DMT users talk about the “mother spirit” who guides the individual on the trip and teaches them what they need to learn on that specific trip. I believe that the Egyptians partook in the Acacia trip, and this was seen in the same light as the way Native Amazonians see Ayahuasca. DMT would have only been used for spiritual purposes, in order to gain enlightenment and talk to the “gods.” In their case the guiding spirit that they found in their trips was Osiris. It is interesting to note that on the outer-body experience that is associated with DMT many people have found themselves seeing deceased friends and family, therefore Acacia Nilotica is a fitting symbol of the underworld and the spirit. The majority of DMT users also find a sense of rebirth after their trips, also being a fitting characteristic of the Acacia Nilotica. In modern archaeology of Egypt, Acacia Nilotica has been found in a huge percentage of the tombs unearthed.  I find it highly unlikely the Egyptians did not recognize the uses of this plant and I believe the evidence speaks for itself.

Yet Acacia Nilotica was not just revered in Egypt. The plant grew throughout the middle-east and its symbolism exists even to this day. To the east of Egypt, Judaism flourished, and once again Acacia Nilotica has huge symbolism. In the book of Moses, it is said that the tree that was set afire in front of Moses was an Acacia Nilotica tree. This is fitting as the Acacia can be found in over 3 different sub-species (all containing DMT) in the Jordan Valley and Sinai Desert. In both Hebrew and Judaism, the Acacia was recognized as Sacred and was revered as a building material saved only for temples and the likes. According to Judaism, the ark of the covenant was made of Acacia Nilotica. Again I believe that Judaism was heavily influenced by DMT and its connection to the “spirit world.” In pre-Islamic Mecca, the goddess of their religion was also Acacia Nilotica and was so similar to the Egyptian beliefs around Osiris that there is nothing really to explain on the matter.

Moving forward through history to the modern day, Acacia Nilotica is still revered in society by its “Elite.” Since its founding the Freemasons have placed heavy reverence on the Acacia Nilotica, claiming that is sacred properties of the tree represent the purity of the soul. The Freemasons claim that they received this information from the last of the great Egyptian thinkers. If the Freemasons are really some sort of utopian superpower in the world, it is clear why Acacia Nilotica is rarely recognized as a Psychedelic. If the majority of the world were to experience the spiritual journey users undertake on DMT, they would no longer be bound by the chains of the ego or fear. As Aldous Huxley explains in his book ‘Doors of Perception,’ the world of Men and Women would be rid of the religious symbolism and become one with each other and in-tune with the world around them.

I think that a substance so revered in such crucial times in Spiritual history has nearly been lost. I believe that a resurgence of the spiritual art of using Acacia Nilotica for its DMT characteristics would help in the Spiritual path we are fighting to stay upon and would strengthen the consciousness of our society. I do not think that it is mere coincidence that this substance has been chosen by these civilizations to symbolize purity, rebirth, spirituality and the underworld. If you would like to do more research on DMT as well as Acacia Nilotica I would recommend the book ‘Gnostic Visions: Uncovering the Greatest Secret of the Ancient World’ by Luke Myers.

Do not question behavior now
Stand firm on what you know
Create from experience
Trust your intuition with no fear or doubt

It is a precarious time.
You see the benefit
Of joining with others
For now remain docile.

Know well your long-range plans.
In the quiet of contemplation
Silently make your plans.
Your time of influence is not yet.

Be love …
Teach peace
Today is the best day to be alive …
Love will be returned:  be sure to open to reception …

When I am in harmony with the Creative Force, I am aligned with what I am here to be. I am then present in what I do with clarity and focus, awareness and mindfulness.

There are times to bend like a reed in the wind.

And there are times to act as a stubborn wall against the tide.

There are things that lie at the periphery of life. Then every “I hold like this” and “my opinion is . . .” stands in the way of harmony and peace. Every such “I” is the very root and source of evil.

But when it comes to matters that touch the purpose for which you were placed in this world, that’s when you have to be that immovable wall. That’s when you have to say, “On this, I‘m not going to budge.”

That “I,” that’s not evil. That‘s an “I” fulfilling the purpose for which you were given an “I.”

What is the difference between kindness and compassion?

Kindness gives to another.
Compassion knows no “other”.

With the many landmines out there, ready to derail [the goals of] even the most talented of people, ‘showing up’ regularly offers undeniable benefits. Some of these perks often go overlooked. For those excited to make progress this year … keep in mind all of the advantages at our disposal when we have an enviable attendance record. There is a surprising benefit and power in consistently showing up.

Choose a small part of the day during which you will put attention toward one of your most meaningful goals. Consistently honor that small commitment and enjoy watching that goal come to fruition.

How many of us truly love our jobs? With longer work hours, and less opportunity for creativity and personal advancement – it’s no wonder so many of us dread that Monday morning return to work. But, what alternatives do we have? It turns out – there are plenty.

What steps might you take to improve your workspace? We can restructure our work environments to increase innovation, efficiency, and create a space for joy in our work world to eliminate the office gossip and lack of convivial friendship. Gossip often suggests that someone is feeling powerless in a situation or needs help and encouragement to succeed. Perhaps employers could consider paying for activities that bring workers together in a shared activity, such as attending a yoga class or working together on a community project, or create break rooms or other communal spaces so that friendship and camaraderie happen naturally. The old factory model of workplace efficiency—where each worker cog in the system is expected to do what he’s told to do without an understanding of how he’s contributing or the power to control his efforts—is outdated in our information economy. Instead, employers need to find the ways that they can encourage their most important asset—their employees—and strategically foster greater workplace innovation, productivity, and harmony. When we provide employees; with the flexibility to succeed in both their personal and professional lives, we achieve more than an extraordinary workplace, we create an organization that performs at its very best.

Today, when you realize your mind has wandered far away from where it was supposed to be, don’t be hard on yourself. Instead, use it as an opportunity to become more aware of your own mental experience, and gently return your focus to your breath.

We’ve all been there. You’re slouched in a meeting or a classroom, supposedly paying attention, but your mind has long since wandered off, churning out lists of all the things you need to do — or that you could be doing if only you weren’t stuck here…Suddenly you realize everyone is looking your way expectantly, waiting for an answer. But you’re staring blankly, grasping at straws to make a semi-coherent response. The curse of the wandering mind!  We need to bring purpose and focus back into the equation.

Life is only available in the present moment.
– Thich Nhat Hanh

One of the fastest ways to recalibrate your consciousness to higher frequencies is to take time to resonate with your higher self. Bonding with your higher-self raises your vibration. This approach to raising your vibration is very different than the more common methods of directing your mind to think positive thoughts or generating feel good emotions. Those methods are useful, but they are more mundane and linear than the act of merging and bonding with your higher-self.

You are a multidimensional being with access to far more knowledge than your conscious mind allows. When you open up to receive and listen for the broadcasts from your higher self, you open up to new wavelengths, new and original ideas, new frequencies of consciousness that deliver pure thought from the higher planes of consciousness right into your conscious mind. These “frequencies” overtime recalibrate your consciousness, so that you perceive and experience the world from a more expanded viewpoint. Creativity explodes, synchronicity expands and the ease with which you live your life becomes grace-filled. The higher the calibrated level of your consciousness, the easier it is to manifest anything in the material plane.
