Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 Dear Hillary, You asked: > Have you ever had a "mystical" tree experience? And, of course, what was it > like? ). Well yes, as I wrote: > In my spine I would feel the presence of a > formidable tree, a trunk with my roots deeply into the earth as well > surrounding and holding the earth, my branches would lift themselves upwards > as though inviting the heavens to be embraced by me. A great cosmic > intercourse. And (again strangely) the words "Tree of Jesse" would resound, > the vibrations as though joining earth and universe in a loving embrace.... And my God, that got us another poll. Hmm. On another note: I do sometimes feel that I write too much about myself. But then, "Who am I apart from you?" I also know that writings help readers remember and recognize themselves. We all have so much in common... More than what we think we know... Beyond our personal thinking and knowing... All that we have in common... Imagine that when I write, I love and hug, embrace and kiss. The experiences I write about come from that unconditional love that God so graces us with, that we discover that we are that love 'in this form now here'. I write about our divine graces, so that must be good... so why am I still wondering? Oh there is still enough self judgement in me to be gotten rid of. It about us that I write, in this loving universe of ours, and us, tiny fishes almost always feeling so lost in it... but returning to the springs and streams of our being, our common source. Here in British Columbia the salmon are coming back home again... (I also have an aquarium in my study/office/bedroom.) Love, Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 "Gil told me later that while on LSD the friends had both turned into tree elves". This is not unique. Legends of meeting or even turning into tree elves go back to at least the Anchorites. Had an experience with the late Terrence McKennah where he not only told us we would meet the tree elves but described them in great and accurate detail before the experience. The drug was an Ayayasca [sp?] brew. Yes, it was a shared "hallucination". Coming out of a bad period 13 years ago a white oak adopted me. My current main tree is a black hickory. I meditate with it by leaning against its trunk as a run my Chakras. Powerful energies flow as I pull up through the muldahara and send love back through it. Trees communicate with other trees of the same and different species through chemical signals in their root systems. I think we can tap [whoops!] into this on a nonverbal level. Saving trees is a metaphysical mandate as well as an ecological one. c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often feel extremely drawn to trees, and will stand against the trunk. The feelings elicited are quite spectacular, calmness stillness, I can feel the individual branches moving as if they were arms of my own body. The tree can feel different ways, often times I have held a tree and felt pain and then to find a recently chopped limb(?). Well I don't considered myself a tree hugging hippy (non-derogatory), but this is sometimes that I find drawn to do. Steve Mclachlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
