My name is Gabriel and I write for passion and love to the free expression of my thoughts and ideas, but I am no expert on anything (but very close to in nutrition and training! Alas that’s not what this website is about, for that you should go here).
I have no mastery, I am not a wise man, nor a guru, not a psychonaut, or anything you have been conditioned to give credence by. I am simply someone who decided to share the strange but interesting things that go through my mind and spirit as I explore the sea of consciousness.
When it comes to my content, I write what feels like my truth, you may consider that what I write here is false, and that nothing I say is true, and that may be the only truth you will find. But if this leads you to find your own truth, I would have accomplished something with my work.
This is based on the premise that we are constantly changing, and even a small change will transform reality as we know it, depending on the perspective of course. These are welcomed changes, because they shape you into a different person every time, especially when they invalidate your old notions.
Think about it, when you realize that a lot of the things you have been in the past are no longer part of you, there is this alien sense of self. Not only is constant change part of life, it simply is inevitable.
My journey has been interesting so far, at least for me and my wife, and the amount of improvements I’ve gotten out of these changes, especially in the way I used to think, have been nothing but fascinating. This site is then a channel for me to share the thoughts and experiences I have.
A bit about myself
I grew up in Venezuela, in a decadent society that continues to submerge into misery today. After reaching adulthood I migrated to the US where I have been since 2005. It wasn’t long before I started learning how this System works, and a couple of years later I realized how wrong society was turning out to be in the so called first world country.
Now, I have never been the ambitious type, and I’ve been against trends and popular activities most of my life. This made it easy for me to understand how this society works, I became mostly cognizant of it when I watched the Zeitgeist Movie back in 2008, a very significant year for the awareness it created in me, revealing a different side of the world I wasn’t aware of.
It was also the year of a tragic event that would create a void in my life that lasted years, and that synchronistically ended up connected with my awakening this year (2019).
For years I became a dissenter, and I felt like there was no solution to the distortion caused by institutions on the people. I had a pure scientific mind, I had no beliefs or signed up to any ideology, and when it came to spirituality, I was shut completely. The reasons are multiple, and a story on its own, but enough to say that I believed in nothing besides mainstream science, based on proof and repetition through experiment.
Once I learned how the monetary system worked, and the impact of an ever growing consumerism, I decided to limit myself to the basics and live a humble life within the confinements of my economy. This allowed me to enjoy life a lot more with my wife and son. Without having big ambitions, we invested more time in ourselves instead of work.
For over a decade I held a corporate job in a pharmaceutical lab, I was never satisfied in that environment. And in the Spring of 2018 I got rightfully fired from it, and a new life began for us.
An awakening of some sort
The culture where I was brought up condemned the use of any plant medicine, just like many other countries influenced by empires, so I was never attracted to the use of these sacred plants. Rewinding back to 2010 in my late 20s, I started doing research on Cannabis, and learned pretty quickly about its origins, metabolism, effects, real reasons for illegality, botany history, biology, and safety.
Needless to say, I had to explore its effects on the human brain. When I tried it, I thought it was a great experience and in many ways it exceeded my expectations. However, I didn’t become a regular user, it became like alcohol for me at best, I could have a couple of drinks in special events, but I wasn’t a drinker, nor a smoker of any type. I have always valued my sobriety.
It wasn’t until nearly a decade later, as I gathered with my brothers for a night of relaxation and chit chatting (rare occasions for us), that I had the most amazing experience with Cannabis.
Details aside, to keep it short, I felt a new perception of reality, one that made me wonder about consciousness. This experience was so intense and life changing for me that my wife, who had followed the same path I had in terms of Cannabis use, was enticed to do it like I did that night. When she did, she had an out-of-body experience that would transform her life as well.
What resulted out of that has been the doorway to where we are right now, everything trickled down from that week, and our research for the sacred plants our ancestors had been using for millennia increased.
We became aware of other medicinal plants with different compounds, used by the tribes and indigenous people of our countries and their amazing healing effects, and learned how modern science had been developing research towards the use of these plants for psychotherapy.
It became a dream for us to seek these plants, but like anything else in our lives, the synchronicities started lining up and we paid attention. Within months we had the honor to participate in a ceremony that would change our lives as we knew it.
Our first experience with a psychedelic plant shattered my confined perspective of reality, it brought up a perfect design where everything that I (still with a very rooted scientific brain) needed to acknowledge the existence of something beyond our senses. Here is where the tragic event of 2008 came back to open my mind and show me the Universe from a new dimension (Thanks, my brother Mario).
I went from a full disbeliever to full ignorant of the unknown realm.
If that wasn’t enough, a week after the ceremony me and my wife had a meditation night together with a close friend, and this night I had the most intense vision I’ve ever had. From this vision I knew that my work would be dedicated to Gaia, and the process by which we as a collective organism will go through in the years to come.
My intuition continues to tell me that these are decisive years, and I am humbled to become a vessel for her rise in consciousness that will directly impact all humanity in the near future.
Thus, my channeled writings have in their core to be of service for humanity for the awakening that we all have to go through and process individually. This is why I hope to be of use for your independent path.
