From Combat to Communion

From Combat to Communion

This paper explores a psychospiritual model for the recovery of returning special forces veterans experiencing complex PTSD (CPTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), utilizing the framework of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, Robert Moore’s four-fold masculine archetypes, Carl Rogers’ humanistic theory, and the transpersonal psychology of Grof, Wilber, and Washburn. Within this paradigm, plant medicine is not merely a pharmacological agent but a ritual gateway into a sacred process of ego death, archetypal rebalance, and reintegration. The healing journey is reframed as a rite of passage that dignifies suffering, restores sovereignty, and allows trauma to be alchemized into meaning.

Seven Years Facing a Wall

Seven Years Facing a Wall

It’s been a huge learning process for me every step of the way, because the general trend in the world of psychedelic medicine is towards the clinical pathway, which is built on future fumes and has claimed millions of dollars and attention. Meanwhile, one person is dying every 10 minutes or so of overdose, and it costs a mere $10,000 to save that person’s life and a pathway exists NOW, outside the US to interrupt addiction with ibogaine. I feel that we as a society have become numb to the tragedy inherent in these numbers: More people have died of overdose than in many wars. Just today If one hundred people gave one hundred dollars we could save a life. Many people might spend that much several times a week on a meal.

In Celebration of Christ Consciousness

In Celebration of Christ Consciousness

Christ consciousness is not a possibility if your religion says only One man can have it. Krishna Consciousness, Buddha Mind, it doesn’t matter what you call it, the Beings who manifested these qualities were showing us by example the Way and the Light, the potential of being Human. The word Hu is a Sumerian word that means ‘God’.
