Power Quotes From The Show
The Responsibilities Of A Plant Medicine Practitioner
"Affiliation can be diagnosed just like in western medicine and the the shaman can utilize plant medicine as a form of healing. Shamans have to be properly trained and know how to use plant medicine just like a surgeon trains to do a knee replacement. You, as a practitioner of the plant medicine, need to be trained to be able to diagnose somebody, look at them, understand where they're coming from energetically, and literally straighten out all of the problems they have energetically in that multidimensional field. You have to be able to navigate all of that and ultimately have the person come out on the other side of their ceremony having had healing and you can see that the affliction is no longer there and they have had a healing transformation." - Hamilton Souther
The Dark Side Of Plant Medicine: Manipulation & Mind Games
"The dark side of plant medicine is the opposite of healing someone. This darkness is a form of manipulation and a form of distortion that is coming from a really twisted kind of intention where there are power games taking place. It's like sleight of hand magic, filling someone with an illusion, and taking somebody who's already in a state of need and putting them in an even greater state of need. There are all different kinds of means of doing that and it's taking advantage of people in a way that's really frowned down upon by the people who practice medicine. You have to be very careful about the practitioners that you interact with because of the power and influence that they can hold; especially when somebody is in a vulnerable state." - Hamilton Souther
