surely it is obvious that God manifests himself more perfectly
through the sun than through any other creature. Is there
any being other than the sun who is capable of nourishing
the whole of mankind and giving life and growth to wheat
and to the vine?” (Tiphareth p. 28)
I’ve often wondered just what the chemistry is that allows
certain herbal substances such as cannabis to lower our
photosensitive barrier so that the light-to-bliss connection
strengthens The Sufi teacher Gurdjieff, in his instructive and
hilarious book All and Everything, Beelzebub’s Tales to his
Grandson, describes how ‘something’ went terribly wrong
with our species on planet Earth many millennia ago and to
fix it, an organ he names ‘the Kundabuffer’ had to be placed
in mankind. Later it was removed, but its ‘maleficent influence’
still lingers.
I think Gurdjieff’s made-up word “Kundabuffer” speaks
for itself (the book is full of homemade expressions that alternately
exasperate and amuse), implying that the Kundalini
energy had to be ‘buffered.’ A whole tribe could bliss
out safely in a tropical forest Eden, but living on the grasslands
or in a hostile ice-age environment proved too dangerous
to allow everyone to alter their realities. The role
of the priest-shaman (frequently an old woman) evolved to
have her travel to other dimensions for healing and prophesy
while the group focused on hunting and gathering food.
I found the following quote online that confirms my hypothesis:
