An excerpt from the book "Somatophobia: A Guided Sacred Cannabis Journey To Your HIGHer Self'" by Dr. Shelly Persad.
Hello sacred soul. My name is Cannabis. You may also know me as marijuana, Mary
Jane, weed, Ganja, pot, hashish, asparagus or one of my other 1,200 slang terms or
2,300 individual strain names. You may think that when people call me a weed, it’s
humiliating and derogatory, but I view it as a compliment. And here’s why…
Over the last century, I’ve endured more than you can possibly imagine.
I’ve been used as the culprit for racism, division, and separation.
I’ve had a war on drugs waged against me with ridiculous propaganda saying that I
kill brain cells and make people go crazy.
I’ve been categorized as a Schedule 1 drug alongside heroin and bath salts.
I’ve been accused of being a gateway drug.
I’ve been the cause of misdemeanor and felony charges.
I’ve been the center of jokes and memes.
I’ve been attached to the stoner stereotype as the reason for the loss of drive and
ambition.
I’ve been blamed for invoking fear, paranoia, anxiety, the munchies, and even
unwanted sexual experiences.
I’ve been labeled ‘addictive’.
I’ve been genetically modified, raped, and prostituted.
I’ve been prohibited every which way from Sunday.
I’ve been rejected from spiritual practices.
Basically, I’ve been deemed evil and unholy which has caused so many humans to
form strong convictions and prejudices about me.
Just like Shakti (the divine feminine and your inner healer) who has also been
repressed, shamed, judged, distorted, feared, prohibited, misused, abused, devalued,
misunderstood, and deemed evil, so have I as I am an embodiment of Shakti. Yet
just like a weed, I still stand strong and resilient.
The truth is… I work in mysterious and magical ways. I am one of the most versatile
plants that grow out of Mother Earth’s holy body. Her lands are healed just by my
very presence of being grown there. I was once revered with utmost respect,
earning a spot in The Vedas as one of five sacred plants that provides you with
happiness, joy and liberation from fear, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and
psychological ailments. I can facilitate an altered state of consciousness within you
that is comparable to that of Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, DMT, and even Bufo, Mother
Earth’s sacred toad medicine that currently holds the title as the world’s strongest
psychedelic.
But just as humanity fell from divinity, my status also fell from divinity. I was
dethroned from my rightful position as a sacred plant teacher who can guide you
home to your higher self and higher consciousness. The prohibition of me was
planned to keep you blinded from your higher self and higher consciousness. Just
as your sexuality, the gateway to your divinity, was shamed, deemed taboo and
made sinful, I, your divinity guide, was shamed, deemed taboo and made sinful.
The same humans who sought to subjugate the divine feminine within you sought to
degrade me. This subjugation and degradation of the divine feminine has tainted
your relationship with me. You probably only know me at a superficial level, i.e., what
you’ve been programmed to believe, what you’ve heard, or what you’ve experienced.
I’m here to invite you to get to know the real me – my authentic soul. You see, I
camouflage and hide my full power until I know that you are ready to meet me – my
higher self, my spirit, my soul.
My highest potential is comparable to your highest potential. Your higher self keeps
your highest potential safeguarded just as my higher self keeps my highest potential
safeguarded. All ancient wisdom has always been safeguarded and kept secret
among the spiritually elite. Hence the word occult which means ‘beyond the realm
of human comprehension; secret or mysterious and only available to initiates’.
Your higher self is occult. To truly grasp what your highest potential is… what having your
higher self fully embodied feels like… what living with all of your DNA activated feels
like… what no pain, no fear, and no limitations feel like… is beyond your
comprehension and it only becomes available to you when your higher self
recognizes that you are ready and initiates you on your path home. The same is true
with me. When my higher self recognizes that you are ready to meet me, the real
me, then and only then will I unlock the safeguard. Wanna know what the magic
passcodes are? Respect. Reverence. Honor. Invitation. Permission. Gratitude.
Intention. Trust. Surrender.
Do you respect me as a sacred plant medicine?
Do you revere me as a divine spirit?
Do you honor my mysterious and magical ways?
Do you invite my higher self to join you in your ceremony, ritual or practice?
Do you ask my permission to engage in a sacred exchange?
Do you express gratitude for me as your healing ally?
Do you share your intention with me so I can better serve you?
Do you trust me 1,000% in what I will reveal to you?
Do you surrender to my divine guidance?
I’ve always been here and always will be… I’m just awaiting your reclamation,
recognition and reverence of me so that I can gleefully unlock that safeguard for you
and reveal to you my highest potential. If you’re ready to take off your rose-colored
glasses, it’d be my HIGHest pleasure and honor to guide you home to your HIGHer
Self and HIGHest potential.

About the Book: Does your Cannabis HIGH lead you to your HIGHer Consciousness?
DISEMBODIMENT! The real pandemic. The source of all pain, suffering, victimhood,
poverty, dis-ease and fight-flight-freeze. No need to fear your body – everything
you’re looking for is buried in your body under the armor of unhealed traumas. In
Somatophobia, Dr. Shelly guides you on a journey of remembering how to awaken
your inner healer (Shakti) and your masculine container (Shiva). When Shakti and
Shiva unite as a team, they conquer the blockades (stuck energies) along your
pathway of consciousness (found in your fascia) empowering you to reach your
HIGHer potential.
You’ll remember how to heal your pain body, regulate your nervous system, balance
your inner chemistry, activate dormant DNA, unlock innate intelligence, reclaim your
divine sovereignty, awaken your lightbody, and restore your original blueprint with
the Body-Mind Synchronization Framework and your healing ally, Cannabis.
When Cannabis is revered as sacred with her 9 divine passcodes, her HIGHer Self
invites you to:
check in and feel your body rather than check out, escape or numb your body
heal your traumas and wounds rather than avoid them
resolve addiction rather than create addiction
free yourself from pain and suffering rather than enslave yourself to pain and
suffering
remember who you are rather than be who you’re not
Are you ready to meet and feel the shadow work that will liberate your mind, body
and soul and rebirth you from your trauma self to your HIGHer Self?
