The Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea), sometimes also called Blue Water Lily, is a psychoactive plant that has been used for thousands of years. The plant is believed to originally come from Egypt and other parts of Northern Africa where it grew along the river Nile. Today, the plant also grows in other parts of the world, and can be found in India and some other parts of Asia. The Blue Lotus is sometimes confused with the Sacred Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), the national flower of India and Vietnam.

Blue Lotus was intimately known to the Ancient Egyptians, where it played an important part in various aspects of their culture. The plant was widely popular for its aphrodisiac and mild psychedelic properties, which made it one of the first party drugs.

Blue Lotus can often be found depicted on the walls inside Ancient Egyptian tombs. This leads researchers to believe that Ancient Egyptians used Blue Lotus also for religious purposes due to its psychoactive effects. On ancient paintings, the Blue Lotus is often depicted together with wine, which suggests that the Egyptians made alcoholic beverages and tinctures with the plant.

The traditional way to cultivate Blue Lotus was to grow the plant from the rhizomes, which are the underground parts of the plant and the stems. Then again, this wasn’t the easiest method for people to grow Blue Lotus at home. Only recently have horticulturists discovered how to grow the plant from seed. Not only is growing Blue Lotus from seed a lot easier, it is also less expensive.

If you have never grown Blue Lotus at home, no reason to be afraid: it is quite easy and uncomplicated to do. Here is how you can grow Blue Lotus in your own home or garden.

Fill a waterproof container with about 5cm of garden soil. For best results, use a mix that contains sand, silt, and some clay. Do not use a gardening soil that is rich in organic content such as moss, wood, or bark, and don’t use any fertiliser. Fill the container with some warm water until about 2–3cm above the soil. Wait for a few minutes and allow the soil to settle. Press on it to make it more compact.

Sow your Blue Lotus seeds evenly on top of the “floor” in the container. Place the seeds about 2–3cm apart from each other. Lightly sprinkle a thin layer of soil or sand to cover the seeds.

Set the container with your seeds into a warm spot that gets plenty of sun. The seeds will sprout after several days and will look like grass. After a while, the sprouts will develop two leaves that will float on the surface of the water.

You can now replant your Blue Lotus sprouts. Carefully remove them from the small container and plant them into a bigger one with more water.

Extra tip: Although Blue Lotus seeds are not often hard to come by, once you grow your Blue Lotus flowers, you won’t need to purchase seeds anymore: your plant will do it for you! As it grows, the flower head will move underwater where it will develop a fruit. Once your plant ripens, the fruit will contain the seeds. You can simply use these seeds to grow even more Blue Lotus!

As I watch your talk I know we're talking about same thing but I saw them as the Ancient God's and they are well known on Earth as The Serpents People aka Reptillians and They are Serpent looking humanoids. Which may sound Sci Fi but hear me out... Human beings only have 46 Chromosomes all Earth Primates have 48 chromosomes. Human beings have a R-Complex (reptillian) center brain. Human beings have a Serpent energy called Kundalini. Human beings shed thier skin and Human beings are said to have been made in thier makers "image".

Plus ya really don't think Eve was so stupid as to be fooled by a walking talking snake (Dragon) unless he looked exactly like GOD (little fact bible edit out) plus God cursed the "snake" to be a belly crawler after the "transgression" of Human Beings having knowledge and becoming aware they wasn't in a Fantasy Paradise but in a Prison butt naked serving Aliens... yeah yeah yeah nobody says this but it's TRUE.

Also if you're a christian and believe Jesus died for YOUR sins then WHO was collecting his Blood Sacrifice? If Christ is God that's absurd he killed himself to save you sounds schizophrenic...or he descended from the Creator of ALL into this Hell to show us how to escape "The God of this World".

Also realized when people pray (bible readers) they say Amen at the end of their prayers... Well Amen Ra is the "Father" the All Seeing Eye on the back of the dollar bill above the Pyramid with the motto "In God We Trust". Told you I found the Source of DMT and DMT is LIFE so I found GOD and he's not what YOU WAS THINKING God is. It's a Cosmic Alien that that's harvesting human energy... Ever been to a Rock Concert or Football game and you could "Feel the Energy in the Air" THAT'S WHAT THEY EAT .. Human Attention... They keep us just smart enough we don't buck the system in masses...to imagine we're evolving and getting better but Truth is we're building our own cages one brick at a time step by step with all this Technology.

#Cohoba and Ritual. Throughout the ancient Americas, rulers and shamans used #hallucinogens to connect with the #spirits of the #otherworldly. We have an idea that only those in touch with the supernatural realm could heal the sick, predict the future, ensure the fertility of the world, and resolve the larger problems of existence. The #Taino and #Arawak were no exception to this tradition. https://theorly.com/shards/cohoba-and-ritual

                                                   Iboga

Iboga comes from the bark of a small shrub that is native to parts of West Africa. Known as the “Tree of Life,” it has been used for thousands of years by groups in Gabon, Cameroon and parts of the Congo. The indigenous devotees of this medicine are called the Bwiti and they use this sacred plant to study life within themselves. As a very deep plant-medicine with ancient wisdom, Iboga gives the user direct access to personal truth, and because it offers profound and life-changing insights, it is often called “the master of all teacher plants.”

Through a very grounding energy, Iboga can take us down into the root of who we are, pushing us to truly look into the depths of ourselves, our lineage and our belief systems. As a medicine that heals the mind, it pulls and cleanses stored files within the psyche as if de-fragging the hard-drive of an internal operating system; its mission is to create more peace and quiet within. Iboga also calms the central nervous system, drastically reducing the “fight or flight” response in many individuals, and it is also believed to rewire neurotransmitters in the brain.

The spirit of the plant is said to be masculine by most, and in this way, it is very direct, much like a stern yet wise father or grandfather, and, consequently, it is often called The Grandfather. However, the medicine is also known to carry both the highest wisdom of the masculine and feminine. The teachings of Iboga are simple and clear, and often funny as the medicine has a cheeky sense of humor. Because it is so direct, there is little room for confusion or a need to interpret messages.

In the Missoko Bwiti tradition, participants are individually guided by a provider to reconnect with their own. During this process they ask direct questions to their soul about their personal lives. Typically, the answers are very short, sweet and profound. By reconnecting with the softness and wisdom of our soul, it is common to experience lasting change in our lives. The soul also carries no ego so this is often a loving and compassionate experience. This process also connects us to our own intrinsic power where the belief in ourselves is reignited.

Initially in the west, Iboga has been known more commonly through the use of Ibogaine (an isolation of only one of the alkaloids) which quickly detoxifies the body from opiates with minimal withdrawal. Ibogaine has been most commonly used for this purpose for decades. Although Iboga and Ibogaine are very different in their true essence, they have been categorized together, and as a result, they have both gained a reputation for intensity that is mostly associated with addiction and detox.

More recently, Iboga has become better known in the spiritual community for its profound and transformational effects. While Iboga is very powerful, the intensity of the medicine is due to the duration of the direct effects and staying power of the wisdom, rather than the scary or psychedelic nature of the experience itself. Nonetheless, the ceremony and recovery period take time, and typically, the whole process is a 24 hour cycle until sleep and the appetite fully returns; usually, the strongest effects are experienced between 6 to10 hours. Although the duration can sometimes be shorter or longer, the combined length of the ceremony and recovery time are essential parts in the magic of healing.

For instance, at “Awaken Your Soul,” our ceremonies are facilitated for 6 to 12 participants, and at 8pm, the ceremony begins around a communal fire where teachings of the medicine are shared. After some time, the medicine is served, and soon thereafter, participants begin to lie down on a mattress where they spend the night and remain until dawn. The ceremony is guided by traditional Bwiti music that has a very fast tempo and is meant to clear and cleanse the mind.

Although an energy purge in the form of vomiting, sweating, shaking, crying, yawning, etc… is normal, it is not absolute. Even though purging can sound unappealing, it is a very important part of the process, resulting in cleansing and resetting the body, mind and soul. Since Iboga is a stimulant, it is rare for sleep to come until the following evening, and therefore, the day after an Iboga ceremony is spent as a “discovery day” for deep introspection; often being even more enlightening than the ceremony itself. After sleep and nourishing food, most participants feel amazing the second day after the ceremony.

Most who become followers of this medicine participate in 2 to 10 full ceremonies in order to receive what they are seeking, and typically more ceremonies are not needed. Although some will go on to micro-dosing in order to keep the spirit of Iboga alive, it is a very subtle and mild experience.
