You use a very attractive language. A broad lexicon, and it feels good to read it. You use strong words that make the reader connect to the text. It is fascinating. "We are not alive or dead, simply existing" I would like to have your ability to write, to describe how much this phrase marked me. It does not matter if we are alive or dead, the important thing is what we do, what we did, the footprint we leave in the world. I would like to know what inspired you. All the great texts have a powerful source of inspiration. What happened in you to write this? Greetings friend.
Hi @pluridimensional!
Thank you for your kind words.
They are very flattering, but I must admit, I am only a hobbyist & fear you give me too much credit, but thank you none-the-less : )
Great question, I'll do my best to answer satisfactorily.
First the inspiration mainly comes from personal experience, however, the word Pharmakeia, is the Greek word in the Bible which is translated in English to "Sorcery".
See, most people believe"Sorcery" is common witchcraft, not so. Sorcerers are those who participated in consciousness altering states, either for ritual/spiritual or just hedonistic purposes.
The reason why the practice is forbidden in the Bible, is because it is said that when you open the "doors of perception" it's two way, and you provide an opening for what's on the other side to peer back at you.
Anyway, i'm glad the story resonated with you & that the answer to your great question is to your satisfaction.
