Today, we light the sacred herb with intention โ€” not escape.
Inhale the stillness.
Exhale the illusion.

Another Layer of Light

๐Ÿ”ฅ The Spark โ€” A Sacred Question

What if the things weโ€™ve forgotten are the very things that could save us?

What if progress wasnโ€™t forward โ€” but inward?

What if reclaiming the ancient could be the key to healing what modernity broke?


โœจ Teaching โ€” Faith, Science, Psyche, and Animism

Thereโ€™s a practice in the dry, desolate lands of Africa called the zai pit. Born from the wisdom of the land and the humility of the people, these small holes are dug into the earth to collect water and compost. Seeds are then planted in this reclaimed soil โ€” and from it, life emerges in what was once deemed barren.

Desert becomes garden.
Waste becomes nourishment.
Death becomes beginning.

Thereโ€™s something deeply spiritual about that.

Because we, too, carry wastelands within us โ€” places that feel too broken, too lost, too dried up to ever yield fruit again. Grief. Regret. Trauma. Exile from self.

And yet, in the wisdom of the Earth and the rituals of our ancestors, we are shown: Even in the desert, life is possible โ€” if we listen and dig deep.

Jesus wasnโ€™t a man of empire. He was a man of the land. A prophet who walked dusty roads and told us that the kingdom is within โ€” not built by power, but cultivated by love. He spoke in parables of seeds, soil, vines, and branches. He healed with touch, spit, and mud. His truth was earthy. Embodied. Wild.

And yet we traded that for cathedral walls, holy wars, and political pulpits.

We forgot what he meant.
We forgot the soil of the soul.


๐ŸŒฟ The Sacred Self โ€” Individuation in Practice

Letโ€™s be honest โ€” weโ€™ve been trained to forget.
Forget our roots. Forget our rituals. Forget our own sacred knowing.

Empire teaches us to scorn the old ways โ€” to look down on Indigenous knowledge as primitive, to silence the inner voice as naรฏve, to mock the Earth as commodity.

But cannabis โ€” our sacred ally โ€” reminds us.
She whispers in stillness: โ€œYou are not broken. You are buried.โ€

And thatโ€™s the truth, isnโ€™t it? The soul has not disappeared โ€” itโ€™s been covered up by concrete, shame, doctrine, distraction.

To heal is not to invent.
It is to remember.

What sacred part of you have you forgotten in the name of becoming โ€œcivilizedโ€?
What ritual or rhythm or wisdom once known by your ancestors lives in your bones โ€” waiting?

Like zai pits, healing begins by digging.
Digging into the pain, the grief, the soil of memory.
And trusting that even if it feels like loss โ€” what we find there might be life.


๐Ÿง  Philosophy โ€” Humanity, Ego, and Sacred Kinship

Modern humanity often confuses forgetting with evolving. We think to move forward is to cut the past loose โ€” but in doing so, we sever the root.

Colonialism taught us to conquer, not commune.
Religion, corrupted by empire, taught us to dominate, not dance with the divine.
And science โ€” divorced from spirit โ€” too often scoffed at what it couldnโ€™t yet explain.

But the Earth remembers.
The plants remember.
The soul remembers.

When we still the ego โ€” through cannabis, through contemplation, through compassionate truth โ€” the memory returns. We remember that the Earth is not property, but parent. Not enemy, but elder.

We remember that Jesus was not white. Not western. Not a weapon.
He was a mystic, a healer, a wisdom keeper who taught us that love is the only law that liberates.


๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Closing โ€” Spiritual Invitation

This week, light your herb with reverence. Sit with your pain. Sit with your forgetting.

Ask:

๐ŸŒฑ What wisdom have I buried that is ready to rise?
๐ŸŒฑ What ancient knowing is waiting for my remembrance?

Maybe itโ€™s time to dig your own zai pit โ€” in your soul, in your habits, in your family line.
And maybe, just maybe, the things you thought were dead will bloom again.

Let love be your law.
Let presence be your prayer.
Let remembering be your revolution.

Unveiling the Self: The Path to Individuation through Gnosis

Rev. Dr. Robert Anderson

Rev. Dr. Robert Anderson

Rev. Dr. Robert Anderson is the founder of The Cannabis Church of Science and Faith and the creator and editor-in-chief of Cave News Timesโ€”a bold platform for independent thought, critical inquiry, and spiritual and societal evolution.A doctor of divinity, veteran, retired correctional officer, devoted husband, and father of four, Rev. Anderson brings a rare and authentic voice to the intersection of faith, reason, and lived experience.His life journey has been anything but conventional:๐ŸŽ–๏ธ Veteran who served his country and later worked inside the justice system as a correctional officer, only to later question the very institutions he once upheld.๐Ÿงฌ Spiritual rebel living with Parkinsonโ€™s and dystonia, whose vulnerability and strength shine through in every word he writes.๐Ÿ’ Husband to a woman who helped him rediscover the feminine spirit within himself and the sacred energy weโ€™ve been taught to suppress.๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ง Father to three sons and a daughter, all of whom shape his vision for a world that truly honors love, equality, and justice.At the heart of his work is a sparkโ€”a reminder that we are all more than what society has allowed us to be. He challenges religious hypocrisy, uplifts the radical teachings of love and liberation found in Jesusโ€™ words, and uses cannabis not as escape, but as sacramentโ€”a divine tool for healing, reflection, and awakening.โ€œGod may be real, but religion is manโ€™s story about it.โ€Through both Cannafaith.org and CaveNewsTimes.com, Rev. Anderson invites us to question everything, seek truth boldly, and believe in a better way forwardโ€”together.๐ŸŒฟ Visit www.cannafaith.org to follow his weekly teachings. ๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ Explore bold journalism and cultural commentary at www.cavenewstimes.com ๐Ÿ“ฌ Contact: rev@cannafaith.org
