"Verily, true healing and cure are rooted in the fullness and authenticity with which one lives."

To ponder this, one must journey beyond the material confines of existence into the boundless realms of the metaphysical and esoteric.

Ancient sages and shamans alike (both male and female) have long recognised that health emanates from the soul’s alignment with the cosmic order—a harmony that transcends the physical, reaching into the very fabric of the universe itself.

The Philosophical and Metaphysical Foundations

From the perspective of classical philosophy, Plato’s theory of Forms posited that the material world is a shadow of eternal truths—perfect archetypes residing in the realm of ideas. Living truthfully, therefore, entails aligning oneself with these higher principles, which serve as the ultimate blueprint for health and harmony. When the soul becomes disconnected from this divine blueprint, dis-ease manifests both within and without.

In the metaphysical tradition, the two-legged (human) being is seen as a microcosm of the macrocosm—an intricate reflection of the cosmos itself. As Hermes Trismegistus articulated in the Hermetic texts, "As above, so below; as within, so without."
This axiom suggests that inner harmony directly influences outer reality, including health. To live fully and truthfully is to harmonise the internal with the external, aligning one’s personal frequency with the universal resonance.

Esoteric and Shamanic Perspectives

Esoterically, healing and curing are an alchemical process—a transmutation of the lower self into the higher self. The alchemical maxim "Solve et Coagula"—dissolution and coagulation—symbolises the spiritual purification necessary for holistic health.
The shamanic traditions of Siberia, the Amazon, and indigenous Africa speak of ‘soul retrieval’ and the realignment of fractured energies through ritual, ceremony, song, and sacred plants, mushrooms, lichens, and other natural medicines.

Shamanic practices often incorporate entheogens—plant, mushroom, lichen, and other natural substances that evoke divine consciousness—to facilitate journeys into the inner worlds. Through visionary states induced by ayawaska, magic mushrooms, or wachuma, individuals access archetypal energies and receive healing and curing insights from the walks, spirit realms. These substances act as catalysts, revealing the interconnectedness of all life and emphasising the importance of living authentically in harmony with that realisation.

The Entheogenic Dimension

Entheogens, meaning ‘generating the divine within,’ serve as portals to higher states of consciousness—temporarily dissolving ego barriers and unveiling the unity behind multiplicity. Terence McKenna, a pioneering ethnobotanist, asserted that these sacred plants are keys to understanding the true nature of reality: "The plants are our teachers; they show us the interconnectedness of all beings."
Such experiences often dissolve illusions of separateness, urging one to live truthfully, empathetically, and compassionately.

Historical and Contemporary Reflections

Historically, sacred traditions—Vedic A***n, Taoist, Kabbalistic, and Indigenous—have recognised that health reflects cosmic harmony and self-alignment.
The Vedic A***n concept of dharma, or righteous living, is central to maintaining balance within and without.
The Tibetan Buddhist notion of sangha underscores the importance of community and shared truth in healing and potential cures.

In recent scholarship, figures like Dr Carl Jung MD have explored the archetypal and collective subconscious and unconscious, suggesting that healing and potential cures involve integrating shadow aspects of the psyche—an act of living authentically by embracing all facets of the self.
Contemporary research into entheogens demonstrates that these experiences often catalyse profound shifts towards authenticity, self-awareness, and holistic health.

The Synthesis: Living Fully and Truthfully

To truly heal and cure is to engage in a sacred alchemical process—transforming the base metals of fear, shame, guilt, and disconnection into the gold of pure unconditional love, wholeness, integrity, and unity. It is an act of spiritual discipline, rooted in both ancient and modern wisdom, esoteric teachings, and scientific understanding. Living authentically becomes a sacred act—an alignment with the divine blueprint embedded within us and woven into the fabric of the cosmos.

In essence, the journey towards genuine healing and cure is a sacred voyage through the realms of the inner and outer universe—an odyssey that demands honesty, courage, integrity, and reverence for the divine within and without. Living fully and truthfully becomes the alchemical key that unlocks the deepest layers of health—physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and cosmically—revealing that at our core, we are divine expressions of a vast, interconnected whole.

"The healer within is awakened when one lives in truth, in harmony with the sacred cosmic dance that unites all of existence."

Guiding Principles of Integrative and Holistic Medicine, Psychology and Psychiatry

Here are some guiding principles often associated with naturopathy, as well as holistic, transpersonal, transcultural, and entheogenic medicine, psychology, and psychiatry:

Primum non nocere anima.
First, do not harm the soul.
This principle strongly emphasises using therapeutic modalities with the least potential for side or adverse effects, to avoid harming the patient's soul.

Vis medicatrix naturae.
The healing and curing power of Nature.
An individual's being possesses an inherent ability to heal and cure itself. The role of medical doctors and other healthcare practitioners is to diligently support and facilitate this natural process.

Tolle causam.
Discover and treat or remove (when possible) the cause.
Rather than merely treating or suppressing symptoms, one should aim to identify and eliminate the underlying cause(s) of illness.

Tolle totum.
Treat the whole person.
This principle recognises that health results from a complex interaction of racial, ethnic, physical, energetic, mental-emotional, religious or spiritual, genetic, metabolic, nutritional, environmental, life experience, history of trauma (including intergenerational and transgenerational trauma), socio-economic, and cultural factors. Therefore, treatment should be truly individualised and holistic.

Docere.
Teach.
Healthcare professionals should educate and empower patients with knowledge about themselves and their illness, encouraging self-responsibility for health. The therapeutic potential of the healthcare professional-patient relationship should also be recognised and thoroughly utilised.

Praevenire.
Prevention is the best 'cure'.
Disease prevention (when possible) should be emphasised by assessing risk factors, heredity, and susceptibility to disease, and making appropriate interventions in partnership with patients to prevent illness.

Integratio Scientiarum Sanationis.
Integration of the Healing Sciences.
Medicine, psychology, and psychiatry should be integrative by nature, incorporating modern scientific knowledge with various evidence-based traditional medical systems, such as Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Tibetan Buddhist, Tibetan Bön, Han Chinese, Yoruba, and entheogenic medicine.
Other integrative therapeutic methods should also be employed.

The Divine Thread of Return

Not random marks upon a page, nor chance’s fleeting game,
But threads of gold in sacred weave, where naught is without aim.
Each meeting, turn, and echo’s call, by Spirit’s hand is spun—
A deeper truth our mind-brains may miss, till all is said and done.

What we name coincidence is but a sign, a gentle plea,
A nudge from realms beyond our own, to help our spirits see:
That every joy and every pain holds lessons to be learned,
That every soul we meet again has purpose dearly earned.

When footsteps circle back once more—a face, a voice, a scene—
It is no accident of time, no hollow in-between.
It is the soul’s own quiet call to mend what was undone,
To heal and cure the wound, to speak the word, beneath a kinder sun.

Divine, not stern, this second chance—a mercy, not a test—
To show how far we’ve journeyed on, how we have been blessed.
The past returns not to reproach, but as a mirror clear,
Reflecting what we were before, and what we now hold dear.

And in that meeting, there may bloom a joy we thought and felt was lost,
Where once was ache and shadow’s touch, now light may cross the frost.
For we are changed by time and grace, by all we’ve lived and known—
No need to tread old paths again; new seeds of pure, unconditional love are sown.

True courage is to break the chain that binds the pure heart to suffering, discomfort and pain,
To look upon our wounds with grace, and dare to live again.
To offer up the hurt we hold, and trust it to the Light—
That even scars may shine at last, made beautiful and bright.

No meeting is by chance alone—each has its place and part
Within the tapestry divine, that mends the broken pure heart.
The Universe in faithfulness lays each step on our way—
Not coincidence, but care, that guides us day by day.

So walk in gratitude and trust, with eyes and spirit clear.
Release what served its time and role, and hold the present dear.
For in each twist, each turn, each return, a deeper truth is sealed:
That life itself, in mystery, is ever being cured and healed.

Coincidence? Oh, call it not—but invitation, grace,
A door held open by the hand that guides our mortal race.
Each moment is a gift, a start, a chance to truly see:
That we are never walking solo—we walk eternally.

One is never more truthful than when one wholeheartedly and clearly acknowledges others for their genuine contribution to one's life.

Una persona nunca es más verdadera que cuando reconoce de todo corazón y con claridad a los demás por su contribución genuina a su vida.

This statement reflects a deep philosophical and existential perspective on honesty, integrity, gratitude, and personal evolution. Authenticity and truthfulness reach their peak when an individual acknowledges the wholesome contributions of others to their success or well-being. This could be attributed to several factors:

Humility:
Acknowledging others' contributions requires a sense of humility, which is a cornerstone of honesty and integrity. It is an admission that one is not solely responsible for one’s achievements, but is rather continually aided by the support, guidance, or inspiration from others—including nature and all forms of life within it.

Healthy Vulnerability:
Expressing gratitude involves opening up about one’s reliance on others, which is a form of healthy vulnerability. This willingness to be genuinely vulnerable is often associated with truthfulness, as it implies a lack of pretence or deceit.

Interconnectedness:
Recognising the role of others in one’s life also acknowledges the fundamental interconnectedness of human existence. An individual is part of a vast social and planetary fabric; one’s actions affect others, just as others affect oneself. This broader, more complete perspective can be seen as a form of truthfulness about the nature of life itself.

Mental and Emotional Authenticity:
Expressing sincere gratitude requires one to tap into one’s genuine feelings. One must first be honest with oneself about these emotions before one can express them truthfully to others.

These are, of course, just a few interpretations of a rich and complex concept.
Its meaning can be understood in myriad ways, shaped by an individual's culture, spiritual worldview, personal experiences, and beliefs. Ultimately, it serves as a powerful reminder of our shared two-leggedness (humanity) and the importance of giving credit where it is due.

Long live the wholesome contribution of others!

Alba (Scotland) is traditionally held to have begun to emerge as a unified kingdom under Cináed mac Ailpín (Medieval Gaelic), Coinneach mac Ailpein (Scottish Gaelic), or Kenneth MacAlpin ( Anglicised) , around 843 CE.
England (Sasana in Medieval Gaelic, Sasainn in Scottish Gaelic) is generally regarded as having been unified in 927 CE, when the West Saxon ruler Æthelstan (Old English Æðelstān; Old Norse Aðalsteinn) secured overlordship of the other English and northern kingdoms.

Kenneth MacAlpin( Anglicised) (c. 810 – 13 February 858), later known as Kenneth I, is recorded in contemporary and near‑contemporary sources as king of the Picts from the 840s CE until his death.
He is often also described as king of Dál Riata in the early part of his career, although the evidence is limited given the disruption of that kingdom by Viking attacks.
By becoming king of the Picts and leading a Gaelic‑speaking dynasty (the Alpínid line: Clann Cinaeda meic Ailpín), Kenneth’s reign marks the start of the process by which the Picts and Scots came under a single rulership and, over the following century, formed the kingdom later known as Alba ( Scotland).

Kenneth fought against the Britons of Strathclyde and against Viking incursions. Forteviot, in the Pictish heartlands, appears as a major royal centre in this period, but it is anachronistic to call it a formal “capital”.
Later tradition credits Kenneth with transferring important relics from Ì Chaluim Chille (Iona) to the mainland—most notably the relics of St Columba to Dunkeld.
Medieval and later legends also associate him with the Stone of Scone (the Stone of Destiny), but the details and origins of that stone are debated, and the Gaelic name Lia Fàil properly belongs to the inauguration stone at Hill of Tara in Éire (Ireland).

For these reasons, Kenneth MacAlpin is traditionally regarded as the first king in the line that led to Alba ( Scotland), even though he was not styled “King of Alba( Scotland)” in his own time.

A compassionate, holistic perspective on mental-emotional health

Experiencing a mental-emotional illness is not a conscious choice, a lack of willpower, or a moral failing. It is not about exaggeration or simply opting not to “snap out of it.”

A holistic, transpersonal, transcultural, and entheogenic psychiatric diagnosis should not be seen as a stigma, label, judgment, or critique. This approach shifts the focus from “what is wrong with you” to “what has happened to you.”

This living perspective emphasises understanding the complex interplay of various factors: racial, ethnic, biological (genetics, neurochemistry, metabolism), lifestyle (exercise, food and drink, sleep, s*x, work–life balance, hygiene, substance use, routine and structure, screen time, stress and tension management), psychological (mood, personality, behaviour), spiritual or religious (lack of spirituality or religious affiliation), social (cultural, familial, socioeconomic, social stigma), and environmental (pollution—air, water and land—exposure to toxins, extreme weather conditions, hazardous living and/or working conditions).

It acknowledges that trauma—intergenerational and transgenerational trauma included—alongside past experiences, stress, and tension, often lies at the core of mental-emotional health struggles. The history of trauma situates individuals within a broader context of relational, cultural, and systemic factors, rather than viewing difficulties as personal weakness or failure. The approach emphasises empathy and compassion, and recognises that understanding and supporting mental-emotional well-being requires attending to trauma as a central consideration.

Conventional scientists and medical doctors are often roused to fury by departures from established norms, largely because they perceive such challenges as personal criticisms of their expertise and life’s work. This strong reaction stems from a confluence of factors.

Professionals have a significant investment in conventional methods, which are built upon decades of rigorous research and practice. Consequently, any challenge can feel like a direct affront to their authority and competence. Furthermore, the conventional scientific community is founded on principles of evidence‑based practice, and unorthodox methods frequently lack the extensive testing, data, and peer review that validate accepted approaches. This departure from convention can also provoke cognitive dissonance, creating psychological and spiritual (if any) discomfort by conflicting with long‑held beliefs.

Beyond personal and professional stakes, there are weighty considerations of risk and responsibility. Medical professionals are bound by a duty of care for patient safety, and unproven methods are viewed as potentially harmful. The reaction is further intensified by broader systemic influences. Conventional research and practice are often shaped by funding from governmental and corporate entities, and unconventional approaches may be resisted if they threaten these established financial interests. The pharmaceutical and medical technology industries, in particular, have substantial investments in conventional treatments. Additionally, regulatory and policy frameworks are typically designed around prevailing paradigms, creating significant barriers for the integration of alternative or holistic practices. This institutional inertia, combined with a system of career advancement based on peer validation within the established order, creates a powerful structural resistance to change.

Together, these factors—spanning psychological, spiritual (if any), professional, ethical, and systemic realms—explain the vehement reactions that can greet challenges to scientific and medical convention.

Transcendental Invitation: The Call to Cross the Veil

Answer its call; venture—with whole heart, whole soul, whole spirit—beyond the veil, and you shall enrich your life in the most surprising and profound ways.

From a neuroscientific, psychological, and psychiatric standpoint, this invitation aligns with the concept of neuroplasticity and cognitive expansion.
Engaging with unfamiliar or transcendent experiences—whether through meditation, yoga, mantra, breathing exercises, sensory deprivation, or entheogenic medicines—can facilitate novel neural pathways, enhance cognitive flexibility, and promote existential re-evaluation.
Studies on entheogens (e.g., magic mushrooms, ayawaska) suggest that such journeys can induce lasting positive changes in personality, openness, and mental, emotional, and spiritual resilience, often described as temporary ego dissolution or mystical experiences.

Philosophically, this echoes the existentialist pursuit of authenticity and the phenomenological embrace of the Lebenswelt (lifeworld). To "answer the call" evokes Heidegger’s concept of ‘Being-towards-death’—an awakening to one’s finitude that invigorates life with purpose, meaning, and depth. It also resonates with Kierkegaard’s "leap of faith", where subjective commitment transcends rational apprehension, yielding transformative insight.

Metaphysically, "the veil" symbolises the perceptual and ontological boundary between phenomenal reality (the apparent world) and the noumenal realm (things-in-themselves). Piercing this veil implies accessing a more fundamental reality—an idea prevalent in Platonism, post-Vedic Advaita Vedanta, and Kabbalistic thought, where liberation (moksha, tikkun) arises from recognising the illusory nature of conventional existence.

In esoteric traditions—such as Hermeticism, Alchemy, or the Western Mystery Schools—the "veil" represents the threshold between the material and spiritual planes. The call is often attributed to the Higher Self or Holy Guardian Angel. A wholehearted venture signifies the alchemical solve et coagula: dissolving the ego and reconstituting it in alignment with divine will, thereby achieving gnosis or illumination.

Shamanically, this describes a classic journey of soul retrieval or vision quest.
The "call" may manifest as a crisis, illness, or dream, initiating the seeker into non-ordinary states of consciousness. Crossing the veil entails entering the spirit world—a realm accessed via drumming, or through plant, mushroom, lichen and other natural medicines, or ritual and ceremonies—to gain healing, potential cures, wisdom, or power, ultimately restoring balance to one’s life and community.

Entheogenically, this mirrors the preparatory invocation used in sacramental rituals involving psychoactive substances (e.g., ayawaska, magic mushrooms, Wachuma).
The "veil" is the threshold of ordinary perception, which entheogens temporarily dissolve, permitting direct encounter with numinous entities or cosmic awareness.
Such experiences often culminate in profound realisations of interconnectedness, the healing and potential cures of trauma, and a renewed reverence for life.

Integration and Practical Utility

To engage this process meaningfully:

Cultivate Readiness:
Prepare through practices such as meditation, yoga, mantra, mudra, yantra, breathing exercises ( pranayama), martial arts, sacred s*xuality and ethical and moral living to learn how to navigate non-ordinary states of consciousness successfully.

Set your intentions and be attentive at all times:
clarify what you seek—whether healing, potential cures, knowledge, connection, or relationships.

Embrace Surrender:
Release attachment to outcomes; trust the process.
Integrate Insights:
After the experience, reflect, journal, and embody the revelations gradually.

The journey beyond the veil is not about escapism but about deepening engagement with reality’s multidimensional nature.
It demands courage but offers unparalleled enrichment—revealing that the most profound mysteries reside not beyond us, but within.

Ode to the Returning Current

A wave that rose from formless deep,
A secret that the self must keep,
Then breaks upon the shore of mind,
And leaves its shattered truth behind.
But in the ebb, a greater force,
A charted, and a sure recourse—
Not chaos, but a drawing-in,
A sacred war that syntropy must win.
To gather up the scattered light,
And make the fractured vision bright.

A Treatise on Syntropic Integration: Vedic A***n Wisdom and the Alchemy of Consciousness

The phenomenological terrain of the entheogenic experience, particularly its capacity to induce a state of temporary ego dissolution or unio mystica, represents a critical juncture in the interplay between cosmic principles. Modern neuroscience, through the work of researchers like Carhart-Harris et al. (2012, 2016), frames the dissolution of the Default Mode Network (DMN) under magic mushroom or psilocybin as a temporary increase in neuro-entropy—a breakdown of ingrained, repetitive neural patterns. This is the essential Solve (to dissolve) of the alchemical process.

However, this is only half of the equation.
The subsequent, and arguably more vital, phase is the emergence of a syntropic impulse. A concept elucidated by the mathematician Luigi Fantappiè (15 September 1901 – 28 July 1956) and later explored by thinkers like Ervin László (born 12 June 1932), syntropy (or negentropy) describes a universal tendency towards order, complexity, and life.
It is the self-organising principle that counterbalances entropy’s decay.
In the context of integration, the peak experience provides the raw, disorganised material—the entropic burst of insight—while the great work of the individual is to apply a syntropic will, to consciously organise these insights into a new, more complex, and coherent energetic, psychological and spiritual structure.
This mirrors the Vedic A***n concept of the cosmic order (ऋत, ṛta) and rhythm that underlies all creation, which the individual (जीव, jiva) must align with.

This syntropic work is not abstract; it is a very disciplined practice of embodiment.
Before an experience, preparatory practices establish a stable container. Yogic breathing exercises (प्राणायाम, Pranayama) such as alternate nostril breathing (नाडी शोधानa Nadi Shodhana) harmonise the lunar (इडा, Ida)
and solar (पिङ्गल, príngala ) channels ( नाडी L, nadi) calming the nervous system and preparing the mind-brain for profound states. Sun and Moon Yogic Postures (हठयो आसन, hatha yoga asana) ground the consciousness in the physical vessel, ensuring the body is a receptive and resilient temple for the journey. The practice of martial arts like Supreme Ultimate Feast (太極拳Tai Ji Quan) or Vital force-matter Cultivation ( 氣功 Qigong) cultivates a flow state and mindful awareness of Vital life-force (प्राण prana or 氣 qi), training the individual to navigate powerful currents with grace, centredness and grounding.

During the experience itself, these disciplines provide anchors. Conscious breathing becomes a lifeline to the present moment amidst the tumult of dissolution. A practised mantra—a potent sound vibration like (ॐ, Om) or (सोऽहम्, So Ham)- can serve as a sonic, sacred geometrical diagram (यन्त्र ,yantra), a fixed point of focus that patterns the chaotic energy of the mind-brain towards a specific, harmonious frequency.
The use of symbolic or ritual hand gestures (मुद्रा, mudra) can help to channel and seal energetic currents within the body, whilst internal visualisation of a a geometric representation of cosmic principles (यन्त्र ,yantra) such as the auspicious diagram
(श्री यन्त्र, Sri Yantra) provides a structured mental and emotional architecture upon which ineffable insights can begin to crystallise.

It is in the post-experience phase, however, that these tools become paramount for the true alchemy: the Coagula. The Vedic A***n seers of the Upanishads warn that the entheogenic glimpse, whilst profound, is not the final goal.
The ultimate state is (सहज समाधि,Sahaja Samādhi)- a permanent abidance in non-dual awareness that is perfectly integrated into all states of consciousness. This is the pinnacle of syntropy: the complete ordering of one’s entire being around the central, realised truth of unity (Advaita).

Here, meditation shifts from preparation to essential integration. Through sustained practice, one learns to continually discern the real (Brahman) from the unreal (Māyā) in every moment, weaving the transcendent insight back into the fabric of ordinary awareness. Active visualisations are employed to consciously reconstruct the psyche, organising the symbolic and archetypal material encountered into a new, more holistic self-narrative. Japa (mantra repetition) rhythmically re-patterns the subconscious and unconscious mind-brain, replacing old, entropic samskaras (mental and emotional impressions) with the vibratory signature of the divine.

This syntropic imperative extends into the most intimate aspects of two-legged (human) experience. The path of sacred s*xuality (drawing from traditions like Ta**ra) becomes a powerful means of integration.
It is the practice of transmuting raw, biological energy into a conscious force for spiritual evolution and deep connection and relationship.
Here, the partnership becomes a living yantra for exploring non-duality, where the exchange of energy is a deliberate ritual of Coagula, grounding the expansive, dissolutive pure love experienced in the entheogenic state into an embodied, relational practice.

This is the Great Work itself, the Western Hermetic maxim Solve et Coagula made manifest. The teachings of the post-Vedic Hindu Bhagavad Gita are a quintessential guide to this integration, where Lord Krishna instructs Arjuna to perform his duty in the world without attachment—a perfect expression of enlightened engagement or Karma Yoga (Easwaran, 2007).
The syntropic force is the divine will (Icchā Śakti) within the individual, compelling them to shape their life into a vessel worthy of the cosmic truth it has been shown.

The shamanic worldview provides a potent, earth-based framework for this syntropic return. The shaman’s journey is a deliberate entropic dive. However, the shaman is defined by their ability to return, heal and cure—to bring back coherence through ícaros (healing songs), rituals, and narratives. This is a sacred application of syntropy. To fail to integrate is to become possessed by the chaos one sought to navigate.

Therefore, the wise entheogenic path is one of radical syntropic responsibility.
It recognises the entropic glimpse as a sacred gift of dissolution but understands that the true magic lies in the subsequent, wilful act of creation through dedicated sādhana (spiritual discipline).
Modern integrative frameworks in entheogenic psychotherapy are essentially contemporary, clinical sādhanas for fostering this syntropic growth (Watts et al., 2017).
The ultimate goal, as per the oldest Vedic A***n wisdom, is to become a Sthita-prajña—a person of steady wisdom. Their life, ordered through conscious practice, becomes a living testament to syntropy: empathic, compassionate, and free, a perfect expression of ṛta where the transcendent and the immanent are realised as one seamless whole.
