Yep, go to a rave. This state is very healing because it shows us directly
that we are all of one spirit.

Again you are advocating a split with Humans and the Plant World. Why do we
do this? Why do we consider ourselves seperate from the world around us? I
am suggesting a world in which humans live with plants and not think them as
seperate. Many Shamans of tribes consider the plant to be a "Teacher."
Plant Teachers. Why is this so foreign?
