Paul Stamets, Katsi Cook and Jeffrey Bronfman - Plant Sacraments and the Mind of Nature | Bioneers 

Imagine if you will what this planet would be like if the four people on this stage replaced the current world leaders...

Bill Gates is not worthy to wash your feet my deer brother Paul.

Very interesting . Well worth my time. We are all one.

Paul is pretty cool, I never thought a story about mushrooms could be that entertaining. He really is a Fungi!

Katsi Cook is amazing. Im blessed by her words.

I am a woman of Nordic paganism. I cried when Katsi Cook spoke about her experience at about 40 minutes in, about a midwife experience. I have lost a child, and I also know more about spiritual being through my experiences. She hit on a missing spot within my belief system, one where the women have lost their ways to connect with one another in such a beautiful way. A healing way. I am grateful for this video, and the time she gave to make this possible, so that I may watch it now. Thank you all for your stories, however I'd love to thank Katsi for her story.

2018...we continue to awaken, rub sleep from our blurred eyes and step out on an ancient path that has exsisted for millennia.. I am humbled ❤ #walksoftlyonthisearth

Wow katsis story was so powerful. When she got to introduce her son to her two parents I couldn’t stop crying. Truly a wonderful experience and so much deeper than words can imagine

Even as a father..her story of the birth was powerful and brought tears to my eyes. Birth is really sacred..I had the privilege of witnessing my daughter's birth. It was transcendent.

Psychedelics can be used both 'recreationally' or 'sacramentally' ('spiritually'). When young people start in the West, they often do it with friends and music, in clubs and at parties, and marvel at the somewhat more superficial aspects of the perceptive distortions. This is recreational use. A more sacramental use is when one takes the psychedelic alone, or possibly with a passive trip sitter, in silence and, often, in darkness or with a sleep mask and typically remains motionless; this method allows one to focus much more intently on the message, without visual, audible or tactile distractions. There are intelligent plants, and there are sacred, sacramental plants, plants with superior intelligence; just like in the animal kingdom with lower and higher orders.

My wife she's Chinese and study Chinese medecine. She explain to me that in past people was able to to see trought the body using a kind of medecine. That will be how they actually did their meridian map of the body use for acupuncture still now days. I imagine that this medecine was a mushroom or some kind.

Paul Stamets is a genius and can save the world if everyone would just listen.

These people were speaking with a purely spiritual tongue. This was a sharing, of truth and love.

I have always believed that the cure for all problems are grown into our world

With open mind comes wisdom :)

I need to get off work and go pick up the phone.

it is so amazing how her discription of birth and death love being a native. She uses the medicine the right way. I have lost two babies to still birth and can relate to what she says. The creator gave her a beautiful gift. We need more native people like her in our communities. She needs to come to our reserves and give lectures love her.

The question at 1:05:00 - Maybe non-locality? We need quantum physicist, psychonauts, first nation's people, mycologists and so on, to come together to create a network for action. Does this exist yet?

I can empathize with the bag of mushrooms , my first experience with the liberty cap in england. I had collected 139 of them. when i asked the experienced person how many i needed to take, they asked me how many i had. I told them 139 and they said that might be enough. so I ate them all. oh boy, it seemed like i could know what people standing behind me were thinking, amongst other experiences. I dont think i will be doing them again. I too avoid charismatic Christians, i personally think they didnt hear the lunch bell ring. .

Yes Paul, you are very important in this time. The age of Aquarius. I love Paul's work. He is an amazing, brilliant man that has my gratitude and respect.

I'm so happy that there are conversations like this which help remind us that these sacred plants are important in our connection with the natural world; which help remind us that they are not party drugs as the people dominating social power would have us believe.

I am loving this. Katsi's story really has spoken to me, though I came for Paul Stamets. Amazing woman, amazing people

I have been up all night listening to the deep dark recesses of this thing we call the internet in one night I have learned of trepenation as crazy as that shit seems IMO I have learned of the wonder of ultraLSD and a ton of other Hamilton’s pharmacopoeia stuff and then I looked behind that and realized I was trying to live my life through other people and learn from thier experiences because I was scared to do it myself when In reality I knew all along that the only way to learn was to live my own life and have my own experiences and learn from my own mistakes and more importantly I learned that the fear of me (goin out and doing these things) and the fear and dread of what if it doesn’t work out what if I make a mistake by taking a chance and I fail, all the fear that had been holding me back for so long suddenly flipped into resentment and deep emotion of fear of (what if I don’t) it instantly became tenfold more scary to think about what if I didn’t ever go exploring the world what if instead I stay here and do nothing out of fear and I never learn anything meaningful or worthwhile the thought of not doing it for myself was so scary to me that I learned how to use the very same emotions that were holding me back as fuel to move forward I cannot explain my experience in words only the vividly clear message it ingrained on me now and I hope forever ✌🏻

I long for the day when I see 2 women and 2 men on a stage. These people are, however, all wonderful and I am so happy I have found this video. I am actually watching this 6 years later during the pandemic and things seem to have changed at the Bioneers. There are tons of female presenters this year. hurray!

I love all of you dearly! Wise elders

Paul Stemets, absolutely beautiful, bringing me to tears

I have just fallen in Love with Katsi Cook. I have learnt so much from sacred plants and gratitude to be able to witness these teachers now. Heroes all Stamets Mechoulam Cook Bearman....... thank you and thank you to the BIONEERS

.. one prayer covers it all.. pray for the health of everything.. to think is to pray. To talk is to pray. To act is to pray. To be is to pray..

.... for most plant and fungi medicines made by God, the government attitude is malevolence.

Wish they were on the voter's ballot.

... Dear God, please help us do what it takes to restore religious freedom And common decency.... government victimization of plant medicine users is definitely hate crime.

I can hear their saliva.

I have more faith in plants then people

Simply reading the title tells me I'm going to love this. Thanks for sharing. I LOVE YOU, PAUL!

outstanding dialogue...

Seems to me that Mycelia should be studied as an integral part of exo-biology as this form of life appears universal in it's fundamental basis to other forms of life. It gives us a basis of comparison from which to understand other expressions of archetypal forms.

What a tale of destiny! The father of Ryan, Paul's old friend, dishonoring his book so dramatically that it caused fascination enough to compel him to attain THAT bag of mushrooms, which he saved until THAT day and proceeded to do all of THAT... Life knew who Paul was, I feel like. All of the features of that story are so fatefully meaningful in my opinion, I can't wait to see what else comes next down the great Paul Stamets road of life. Some people are just born to unlock these higher motivations

Hope he still doesn’t think Gates is worthy of his nervousness ... or anything for that manor.

People with dementia often only remember animals and music.... it’s bizarre. My Father & Grandfather also had a congenital stutter. I have a slight stutter too which gets worse when I have a panic attack. I am going to experiment with microdosing to help with my PTSD, anxiety and stutter.

INTERESTING"""THANK YOU FOR SHARING

He says “Just a thought” and I say “a profound thought!” Love this video. Thank you for sharing 👍🍄❤️

Intriguing coincidence, STAMMEr is another name for stutter, and his name is STAMEts

We need a shake down of our economic system!. Right on!

we need more of these healers in this world!!!

Beautiful background! Ah the sincerity of Art🍄🍄🍄😍😍😍

I just practiced ten minutes of Qigong after ingesting American Ginseng Root. I have found that practicing 3 foot stick out on my porch actually works better than the Qigong. I think it is because this practice moves Chi through the hands so well. Also, my specialized footwork is good for root. I want to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine so I can learn more about how Chi works. I've been practicing Silat and Escrima since 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi since 2008. I like practicing slow twisting and circling steps with blades. It nourishes my brain and I circulate my chi to stay healthy and massage my internal organs to stay soft and limber. The first thing I would teach someone is how to relax and root and circulate Qi. After relaxing, someone can learn basic Gong Fu! Ginseng A river of life through eyes Seen blue skies and dream Each day’s scene A shade of green from the leaves Beautiful blossoms So many herbs Spirits Here you find a shining light So bright

Believe it or not mohawks is the only natives on this side of the pond that has not surrendered to the governments of Canada USA or British rule.

I can't imagine now....NOT "TRIPPING" soon...on this lifetime. It seems like we're all stranded, in our own pain and limitations. It appears that answers come to each of us,...according to our needs.

Could someone tell me which God she was telling us about with the long white hair

I wish one of these 3 was my parent. If I had my druthers, I'd be the son of Paul and Katsi.

I had a still born baby girl. Cora Bernice Boucar 💜 I didn't have anyone prepare me what so ever about what to expect. I ended up having her hand come out in the toilet and never told anyone because I didn't think at the time that's what it was. Until she came out. 😭 So traumatic. And I barley held her. I wish meow that I had taken more time. That was the most traumatic thing I've been through. So I appreciate this woman's process of helping this family. 💜❤️💜❤️

Talk about working the wrong job... Shouldn't judge people but COME ON a waiter with tourettes that's like hiring a person person in a wheelchair to walk up and down stairs all day there's a point where it's just too much

Can anyone give a list of plants described by Katsis? I have bad hearing and can't seem to google them correctly

**Plant Sacraments and** **the Mind of NATURE** **Paul Stamets, Katsi Cook** **and Jeffrey Bronfman** **THANX FOR SHARING** **MY GOOD FRIEND**

Excellent! Got lots of chills in my body and tears came out of my eyes! We all are connected. We all are one and one is ALL! I Propose these beatiful BEINGS to be world leaders. They emanate love, peace, wisdom and a great respect for our Ancestors (Spirits) I wish I can meet them in person.

Ruben Snake! I found his secret shrine out hunting mushrooms, And April 20th is my birthday. This is very sacred, and funny at the same time! Im growing cubensis now, my first process and this Easter will be my first harvest. These things are not an accident. Thank you so much for this talk, right now.

Does she know what brushing teeth water or gum or anything .. to take away the annoying sound her mouth makes because its so pasty and dry .. come on lady ..😓 i love your advice but thats a little annoying dont you agree ?

the main thing i don't get is when paul says he was star struck by meeting bill gates and al gore sfukt

Imagine a world in which this kind of video received billions of views

1:14:25 stoned ape theory is not from Roland Fischer. It was formulated by Terence based on research from Roland.

Thank you grandmother for your wisdom of the plants..and our sacred traditions..🍀

Anyone know the English name for the "big medicine" the woman speaks about in the very beginning? Ive been trying to find an answer for a long time now

Love the sound of her language.

Paul stamets "Terrence I love you but some of your ideas were b*******" then proceeds to talk about bending time...

9:44 what’s she saying I’m trying to find out what this plant is, thanks in advance.

After listening to Katsi Cook speak, I wish my mother had been able to have her present when my twin brother and I were born. Maybe Mom would have gotten the closure she needed or maybe we wouldn't have lost my twin brother, and life could have been so much different. Maybe better.

What do you think would happen to the ISIS consciousness if you gave them this medicine?

All of your stories are fascinating and wonderful to learn. God Bless all of you. Thank you for being so intelligent!

Any relation to Clare Bronfman from the NXIVM cult?

Amazing conference. Would love to join the live one. Sending lot's of positive energy to everyone watching this. Together we're one and we can help our mother to create a better place for all of us.

Such an amazing video! Thank you! 💚💛❤

Please know psychedelics can cause that psychosis can mean terrrifying mental images, flashbacks, being unable to speak or eat or drink, inability to work and function, loss of intelligence, creative skills, cognitive skills, extreme depression, loss of identity, inability to parent, suicide, homelessness, delusions, paranoia, auditory and visual hallucinations (when sober), loss of job, hospitalization, and possibly homelessness. The depression after psychosis is severe. It can take years to recover from and now you have the shame of having felt "crazy." Many people have suffered. I’m not exaggerating.

this whole topic of fungi in all aspects of life on earth is so under reported. We seem to be absorbed in the machinations of politicians . This stuff it was we should be paying attention to. Good luck Paul Stamets

Paul Stamets Level 99 mushroom shaman

magic SHrOoms HEALS stuttering .... WOW

My favorite part is 59:52 when Katsi gets increasingly puzzled by what Paul is trying to say

Hi! I’m happy to see this video and I really need to contact you or someone in California than might help me.

love that hat ,and i'll tell you what " amadou " . thumbs up this video , that's what " amadou "

Climb an Oak tree just before a thunder storm? Brilliant!

Awesome! I relate...... love the journey, going back in time...ancestors are my teachers.

Not so sure about billy gates and any gore

31:07 lol what an awkward moment: one person clapping when he mentions that Peyote was restricted even more in the US. derp.

Yea are messengers of God enlightening,teaching people how to get in touch with Him.More power!

I get something new every time I listen to this. Thanks.

23:00 and further ... not Ram Dass, but Alan Watts minor issue, still worth mentioning #osims - or so it may seem ( ^ _ - )

Science call then Alien's instead of the sky people who have been like here for awhile and have been able to make a difference between the ages of time's sake.

When i did Ayahuasca i "heard" (felt) the same 54:14 , i thought i was discovered the most love in the world, but then the bubble just popped cause i didnt find any of that. Great experience, but great disappointment.

Its moments like this where i like to remind people that we are not parasites on our earth and we are not a burden to her. However we were made or evolved, Whatever we learned along the way, Someone, somewhere took a wrong turn and made it so we do everything the wrong way. The earth has given us all the resources to live the comfortable lives we do, but we just needed to do things naturally. We need to find that moment in history that we started doing the wrong things and when we let tyrants blind us with honeyed words and a promise of better health for the greater good only to stab us in the back and we always fall for it, and write it all off as history and finally learn from it. We need a better more natural future. We need the masses to not be so disconnected from nature. We need to be children of our planet again.

Al gore !!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤮

Played around with that stuff in the 70's,true not everyone can take it some get bad trips and get very scared and won't touch it again. The reason i quit was that it's so powerful that u can't believe it's not permanantly affecting you! some how!

Great appreciation for all your holistic awareness and interpretation, especially to Katsi Cook for her indigenous sharings and wisdom - Many, Many thanks to each of you - As the new world odour is trying to clinch our spirit right now... This could be the way out and probably always was...

Her vocabulary and pronunciation of words is captivating

AL who and Bill who????

Interesting - I’m from Laredo, now I am in Mexico - here they sell chocolate infused Magik m8shrm, after taking this, the chocolate kept repeating itself, Son of Isaac many times, as well as Paul Stamets name, kept being mentioned by my experience

yes; sacred time ~

I always thought it was Alan Watts who said “When you get the message hang up the phone.”

Amazing group and stories. Mind blowing! 🤯

I too am a charismatic Christian, and would love to meet Paul Stamets mother, and of course Paul Stamets himself.

Haha to fungiguy

My man jeff
