Insights from the depths. ~~ I’m an evolutionary freak (medicine/witchy woman) and I intersected with psychiatry. Nothing can stop me now. Psychiatry made me into their own personal Frankenstein. I am now the industry’s worst nightmare. I am rising that no one need ever go through that nightmare again. And we are legion…the younger generations are emerging fulling conscious of this nightmare. We are healing one another by speaking aloud what we KNOW. Thank you to my younger brothers and sisters who are bringing in pieces that I also need. I am grateful to you for your love and service.
2025 update comment ~~ these snippets on this page were coming out of me during a difficult time in my process. I really love these posts and find wisdom that helps me as I revisit them. It’s painful too to remember these times. The depths produce a lot of “wisdom” of a kind. More recently I came across this quote from Susan Sontag that rings true for me. Those who understand these posts have also dealt with a certainly level of pain and solitude, I find:
“It’s not ‘natural’ to speak well, eloquently, in an interesting articulate way. People living in groups, families, communes say little—have few verbal means. Eloquence—thinking in words—is a byproduct of solitude, deracination, a heightened painful individuality.” ― Susan Sontag

back to 2019:
Post-traumatic growth baby. Never underestimate the power of a body in tune with nature.
***
Addictions, attachments and aversions as well, for that natter, are all functioning in order that we can manage our pain. We are all doing this…to label some people as particularly bad due to these issues is misguided at best.
***
Internalize everything. Transmute. Repeat as necessary until the outer is the inner and the inner is the outer.
***
Surrender to the process that this body presents to you. There is nothing else.
***
View things as good and evil you will live in a world that is good and evil. See things as the one organism that it is and freedom comes.
And as Rumi so eloquently put– love comes out in that field beyond wrongdoing and rightdoing. Non-duality baby. Embrace the whole goddamn nightmare it’s the whole heavenly dream too
***
Self inquiry: make it a habit
***
We are possessed by one another and everything in the universe. Possession is the rule. Duality is held by nonduality. Deal with it.
***
Non-duality holds duality. We continue to operate in duality. The fact that it’s here at all to be perceived is enough presence to give it reality, if even while it’s also unreal. I give a shit about that which happens in duality and I’m okay with that…engaged presence simply makes sense.
***
Love without agenda. Love the ones that need it most. Love the ones nobody wants to love.
***
no more process. just this now.
***
Insanity gets a bad rap. “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a sick society.” — Krishnamurti (or, alternately), Everyone is mentally ill)
***
People who don’t understand how trauma impacts the nervous system say a lot of recklessly dangerous stuff. Unfortunately most mental health professionals, even those who claim they do, don’t understand how trauma impacts the nervous system. At all and especially for those who are most sensitive and most seriously impacted. (Professional denial and retraumatization)

He is speaking your language! (Michael Pollan, DMT, etc.)
Monica, girl, how ya doin’? The Queen of Healers . . . I just watched a cool video and thought of you. See youtube, and search Michael Pollan DMT Mental Health. They haven’t cracked the depression issue yet, though Kratom users are laughing. What a journey you’ve had! peace . . . mickey
