Unlocking The Treasure Within

What is actually known about the psychoactive substance mescaline and its relationship to humans, considering a millennia old bond between the two? Although the scientific research into this question has begun over a century ago by a German pharmacologist Louis Lewin who published the first study of the Peyote in 1886, the psychological material on the subject was and still is rather limited in spite of decades of research. The observed and recorded data collected during mescaline experiments conducted in clinical settings during the first half of the 20th century has provided little understanding of this phenomena overall.  And the simple fact that mescaline is a naturally occurring alkaloid in both the San Pedro and Peyote cacti of Peru and Mexico, is hardly sufficient to explain its deepest bond with humans throughout history.

I do intend to explore this subject in depth, the existence of these mysterious plants and their purpose on Earth, in my next book which would be wholly dedicated to the sacred cactus, talking from a 12 years of ongoing experience working with it in a shamanic way. But for now, I would like to invite you to a brief overview and start a conversation.

While neurologists, physiologists, biochemists, psychologists and psychiatrists were involved in the study of the mescaline phenomena and some useful data was gathered, the research has not met satisfactory expectations for many of those genuinely interested in this subject. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that the experience itself and not the chemical compound that triggers it, is responsible for the healing and inspiration it has to offer.
