Walking the Forest Path is a collection of transmissions and teachings born from the ritual space, inviting students and readers into deeper ceremonial study. Blending multidisciplinary wisdom with poetic, meditative inquiry, it explores themes of presence and impermanence, the dark night of the soul, awakening, and the sacramental use of ayahuasca. ---- The medicine person-medicine man or woman-the mystic has been called someone who sees far, a wider perspective, the periphery. While the ordinary person sees things, objects, the material world, and manifestation, the mystic sees the space between things. While the ordinary person sees things, the mystic sees that all things come from one thing and that one thing is not a thing. And therefore there are no things. There is just one being that all is the manifestation of. There is nothing separate. It is non-duality, oneness, unity. How could anything exist outside of existence? You cannot stand apart or stand on top of it. You're not different from it. The masters have told us that our suffering is the belief in separation. Take a moment and take off that belief. Let existence be.
