A couple of weeks ago I had a bitter tea with cinchona bark and wormwood, plus a bunch of things I can't remember right now. The cinchona bark really spoke to me (in plant language) a few hours later during the night. I had a sub-nightmare that was sufficiently annoying that I forced myself to wake up. Then I found myself in a state of sleep paralysis, so I had to do some deep breathing exercises to shake that off. During the sleep paralysis I had very distinctive and quite psychedelic patterned visuals but once I had regained the ability to move the visions turned to branches with distinctive pale grey bark, which proceeded to peel off in a most enchanting way, against a background of white light.
The cinchona bark, being the fever tree, seemed very relevant to the emerging situation and I was not at all surprised to find that a quinine analogue appears to be of value as a medicine in certain SARS-CoV2 cases. I shall be contacting my friend to obtain the ingredients list for the aforementioned bitter tea, with a view to reporting here.
Re, quinine and curiosity - the fun thing that springs to mind is its intense blue fluorescence under UV light. Quite the complement to harmala fluorescence, really.
“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
