You don’t need drugs in order to experience the miracle of creation.
You don’t need plant medicines to open your heart and mind to the sacredness of the ordinary.
You don’t need sweat lodges or complex rituals or chants or dogmas from old books to reveal the glory of the living moments.
You only need to open your eyes. Lose the distractions, lose the phones, the overthinking, the exhausting analysis, the mentality of “some other moment will be better”, and open your eyes.
Get really present, and open your eyes.
This is true meditation: Awakening to the miracle of a single moment. Experiencing the Garden of Eden, right here where you are.
The greens, the reds and the blues of the world will make you weep. The sight of a single cloud will break your heart right open.
The eyes of a squirrel will reduce you to a child-like puddle of love.
Really.
This is my wish, then - that we’ll come to realise that the Kingdom is within, and all it takes to enter, is a simple shift of the heart.
- Jeff Foster
