Plant|Man Musings

So I've decided to try to write a novel about Man's relationship to plants. This idea probably stems from my interest in entheogenic medicines, healing, and the peculiarities and profundities of nature. I want to start the book off with the dark stuff---the obliteration of the planet's ecological well-being for the advancement of technological ideologies and machinations, the neuroses that result from such ideologies, and the regnant violence that sweeps the globe because the collective mind is slowly turning away from the miraculous green-garb of herstory, or the planetary mother. The first chapter, "Mother Nature Stands Trial," will analyze the socio-political obliteration of our verdant ecos, and chapter two, "The Destruction of Two Natures," will analyze the psychological obliteration. Both the socio-political "War On Drugs" and the psychological "War On The Inner Feminine" concurrently work against evolution's drive for wholeness. In fact, these two wars will drive us down the benighted path of devolution. In chapter three, the story shall lead the reader to higher ground. "Sacred Communion" is about our intrinsic connection to plant-life, and our ability to acquire visionary states of consciousness via ingesting entheogenic medicines. This chapter will segueway well into the chapter "Mind Canopy," which will meticulously discuss how the human imagination has been shaped by floral allies. "The Heart of the Mater," the final chapter of the novel, will talk about the pioneering research being done with neurocardiology, and will also talk about how we're going to sustain ourselves by following the "green imagination," the vision-bearing(phanephoric)plants, and the wise philosophies of the ecologically-minded. In the timeless words of Terence McKenna:

"The greatest gift of the vegetable mind to the human order is the psychedelic experience because it allows the dissolution of boundaries, and it is going to be necessary to dissolve those boundaries in order to coordinate the metamorphosis of the human world."
