I'm glad you were paying attention!
Otherwise for sure I would have just kept my mouth shut and proceeded on my merry way chattering about the difference between the Sorcery of Jean Cocteau and Roger Vadim and that tiny handful of others of a few generations ago now - and the people with vast production budgets but beyond that with absolutely no idea at all of how Vadim and Co actually did what they did.
...So there is this tree in North America called the 'North American Sweetgum,' and frankly to me it has this characteristic and not altogether completely pleasant odor that exudes from it, especially in a cool evening or night. [CORRECTION! It is the Canadian tree that has this slightly unpleasant 'scent;' the Sweetgum is pretty nice, actually.]

Listen, ya hafta persevere with all of this, because at a certain point it becomes so satisfying. |
The tree has these sort of spiky - well, very spiky in fact - 'berries' or something, and it releases a resin - aka the actual 'sweetgum.'
Now whereas the slightly similar Canadian Red Maple is very toxic because of the high tannin content and the chemical reactions that occur when the leaves and twigs dry and go brown - the North American Sweetgum is edible, in the sense that the resin is chewable and has a few properties - it contains Shikimic acid which is also in Chinese Star Anise (however the Japanese one, like the Canadian Red Maple, is toxic).
Shikimic acid is the main ingredient used in the Pharmacy medicine 'Tamiflu' and was used successfully to combat Covid.
It is also a necessary co-compound ingredient for the infamous (or famous) Ayahuasca, without which the Ayahuasca brew itself does not do anything.
And I tell you all of that, in order to tell you this:
A number of flowers have this thing called 'Harmine' and/or also 'Harmaline' in them, and that thing will...
...Now here I'm going to step backwards and sideways, to Herodotus and Christianity at source.

North American Sweetgum. |
Herodotus uses the Ancient Greek word 'Chreo' (or Kreo too, which has to do with 'trance-dance;' from Chora-aeo), and he means something that smears a color over the skin [ref LSJ lexicon for 'Chreo;' Herodotus' usage] - which then opens a Chrio: portal, or 'threshold.'
Ah.
You see?
They never told you that in Sunday School, did they?
Ammon Hillman hasn't even got there yet, either!

This is a woodcut or drawing whatever, I dunno, from the Chinese Classic 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio of Leisure.' 1740 AD. |
Now this next bit is super duper extra extra IMPORTANT.
If you have this expectation in your head, you'll just keep yourself awake and your front brain will be surging trying to get its dopamine-serotonin loop hits...
The only way this thing works, is if you just do it, practice various combinations of things, calm down, and then by-and-by, one day - heck it works!
See the thing is if you go knocking on these doors, these portals, effectively, you will eventually catch someone's attention, and then they being who and what they are, are (mostly/usually) going to stick to protocols.
Yes they've heard you, and they've seen you - doesn't mean flower fairies and elves and angels are all going to turn up on your doorstep at just any time at all.
Now you're going to still have to 'extract' certain ideas from what you have just read in here, and test for yourselves what you think might be the implications, or 'ritualistic' processes that are involved and entailed.
At the most fundamental, basic, obvious, stoopid and childish level (it isn't but it is in a sense too), certain flowers, certain colors, certain scents, persistently create a 'harmonic' with humans - Barbie is all pink for a reason; the reason being that fairy floss is often pink and soft and fluffy -, and all of that child-like sentimentality.
All humans 'grok' it.
Hypericum flowers have Harmine (NB Harmine is also known as 'telepathine' for those exact reasons!), Nymphalidae butterflies also do, Passionflowers do, Helichrysum Italicum (curry plant) and the licorice version of the same plant have a huge amount of active chemical compounds in them, and -.

I had already been stockpiling these pics because I was going to make this kind of post (the subject matter of it) anyway. |
And there is one flower that I have omitted talking about because it is very common, very gorgeous, very obvious, and you can make your own ink out of it.
And it's a secret!
So Ssshhhh.
After we get one of these dunces in the celebrity business to actually do a short clip for us, then you will be able to see what it is and see it in action and see the results - as the subject goes way under and emerges afterwards with blinking eyes and bearing fanciful stories that no one will believe, naturally.
We are humans for just now.
We have mostly water in our composite bodies.
We do not have a 'liquid fiery light' flowing through our veins.
But those guys can turn up here in our type of physical material 'ordinary' bodies - just like ours -, or, in their own style of body; which is potentially a problem because if they just touch you, which some of them do because they are right little (*!); then it will leave marks and definitely destroy your hair follicles there.
I forget the first question that Euterpe posted, actually. I'll have to go back and look carefully now and come back later.
LOL What can I say? I get so caught up in the thrill of the moment...!

Listen to the track below. It is so satisfying at a certain point quite deep into the thing. |
Of my own carry on.
Oh, the heat haze thing. Sure, but that's only the merest part of it all. They are 'normal' in the sense that they have bodies like we have bodies - but, the abundance of neuro-electric signalling is gargantuan compared to us; they have optical fiber cabling I guess, is the simplest way to put it, where we have blood vessels. But there's more to it than just light photons. It's not like you might imagine something clunky and 'robotic;' if anything it is more subtle and tensile of a body than we have.
Meanwhile - meanwhile as I say constantly - don't insist to yourself that if you follow some ritual or use some exotic hand-extracted flower substance that is to be used on your forehead while you are burning incense, then Higher World beings simply must turn up for you on the spot in ten minutes, or even in an hour.
'Yes Master. Your Wish is My Command, Oh Master of the Sacred Flame!'
Nah. No. Not (usually not) going to happen.
Er... Well. Put it this way - they will turn up, but first, we must secure one of these dolts from Hollywood or, if not, some other adequate person to present the thing properly. So that it is fun.
As far as extracting the necessary Chreo from certain floral sources -, all it takes is the petals, nice and deeply-colored, right...
And you heat them in a shallow amount of water, don't over-boil, just slowly raise the temperature and adjust back so as to evaporate the liquid in the pan, and you will in about twenty minutes of doing this, end up with some very strong-colored liquid.
And when 'that part,' in the music hits you, go back to the pics and see which one makes sense with the music...
