To state that Salvia may, at her own discretion, come upon you in the most terrifying and perfectly sanity obliterating means of manifestation, is an understatement of the most grotesque order. Before you smoke that extract, that leaf, you must be quite sure that you are ready to face a fear and a horror that is without equal in all the realms of all the psychedelic, and otherwise, experiences. But yes, there is a payoff. If you are one such as who can integrate cohesively such profound and truly existential fear, then you shall reside amongst the very few living, human souls who do truly comprehend the nature of their own consciousness and its relation to the horrible abyss of its reality, the truth about the nature of the mind, and its all too finite extensions.
I love KH's take on all of it too. Wonderful stuff. I do disagree with only one thing though. That it isn't ritual to smoke it. Or not meant to be smoked. It is now and has made it's way into certain people's ritual. When one group tells another that their method of consumption isn't spiritual. Like quidding leaves verses smoking. To me that argument is like Millbrook verses The Pranksters when it comes to LSD consumption. They were both right but the Millbrook people didn't feet it wasn't spiritual to go around in a bus and turn the public on while the Pranksters thought the sterile environment of Millbrook was limited too. They were both spiritual ways in my opinion. No one stands on such a high ground to say another person's use was incorrect.
