Lily of the Valley. Nile Blue.
When Words are not quite enough to express what
needs to be expressed. We have
a tendency to create Symbols. Symbols
then represent a Concept, Theme, Subject and tend
to carry within much Emotional content. Ideas, Ideals,
Beliefs can All be characterised with
such Meanings embedded. These in turn can be linked
to relevant yet possibly very
different Concepts and Experiences. Symbols are thus
oft used to convey deeper meanings
and highlight particular items of significance. On
the many Levels of a Society or Culture.
Such with that of Ancient Egypt
whose use of Symbols is Legend. Legends requiring

Intel Bytes #6
to be shared. Herein.
Symbols tend to carry several Layers of Meanings
and thus have become a ” Word ”
that signifies MORE than it’s literal or
plain description/meaning.
The Natural Beauty of Flowers lends itself very
well to such approaches.
A depth of meaning in the giving and receiving
thereof in Our World. Legends
indicate a very long use within many
Cultures, Modern and of Yore. Such too
with the
Lily of the Valley.

Thoughts and feelings that are hard to describe
in. Words can be easier conveyed,
given expression. Thus becoming Symbols
that touch Our Hearts + Minds.

High. Quite Powerful in High
enough Doses. Similar inebriation Style to the Natural
Philosophers Stone type.
The Magic Mushrooms.
The entry into the Inner Dimensions Of Mind
akin to that of Amanita Muscaria
though less jolting by FAR. Appreciate why the Ancient
Egyptians chose. Lily Blue. That is.
An All-rounder Tonic. Smooth.
Provides a full and sensual SENSORY surround
to occur. Akin again, to the Natural
Philosophers Stone Psilocybe or DMT approach.
Approached
with Mind calm the switching
of the Mind States very enjoyable
with lil’ nervousness, disjointedness. Smooth transitions.
Beautiful Visuals, Fractals, Colors, Shapes, Panoramas

Nefertum, a Grandson of Ra is the God of concern. Herein.
Egypt. Of Yore.
A Lord of Perfume, Cosmetics and Healing. With Flowers.
Whilst many Mainstream Approaches concentrate on
the Great Ones. Such as Ra.
Versions of The Origin and Creation Legends
of Egypt of Yore consistently incorporate
Nefertum
at the Begins.
Of Everything.
‘Twas and is He, who emerges with the Giant Lotus
to thus and so Float. Float
alone. Alone
with a Flower. Flowers to which open, reveal. A Baby. Baby
Nefertum. That is. Within. In the midst of the Lotus.

Phoenix. Returns from this and
those. Ashes.
Reborn. Anew… Each Day. Like Our World Sun. Does.
Times and Places Our World Legends Retold. Retelling
of Studied
Shamanic Traditions and Healing are an oft. Overlooked
Aspect of the Ancient
Egyptian Culture.
For several rather pensive reasons
Our World Modern cannot handle such Truths.
The use of Plants and in particular Psychoactive Plants
is not One that Our World
Modern Society
has come to Terms. With.
The Control Mechanisms seem reluctant to let One Play
with Ones Own Mind.
For Them thus and so. Control reverts to the Individual.
This of course makes sense for a Society and Culture
as protection against misuse.
Thus the need and necessity of the Ancient Approach.
Via the Shamanic Traditions and Practices.
Which thus allow the Individual under somewhat
controlled conditions to
see and mind. What
Ones Mind does see and do in response. To Learn,
grow and assimilate. Such
Knowledge. Knowledge

Whilst such as the Healing Arts currently and historically
have eased and aided Pain Relief,
Anesthesia with the judicious application of Narcotics
derived from many of such
Plant-Life. This had not flowed on and into normal Life
aspects. Controlled. Still.
The current inherent compassion to those weakened
in Body or Mind lacks conviction.
A whole Genus of Plants whose qualities can enhance
certain Qualities of Life ignored.
‘Cept of course when Profit over People. Reigns.

the Medical and Spiritual Aspects
