Robbie Robertson ~ Peyote Healing

@Lostpoet Peyote no. I liked the song..:).. perhaps it brings about some of the spirits

@being I hear a kind of silence in song. If Peyote brings about silence, I don't know.

@SW-User I don't know either. From the stories I've heard, it's connected to a masculine, father figure, while ayahuasca is connected to the mother.
I haven't tried myself. I'm not negative but also I'm not going after it. They say, it finds you if it is to find you, and you accept it or not.
But I've met people who have done ceremonies and retreats with both of them. Interesting, lovely people of course.. with fancy tales to tell..:)
But I've met equally interesting and lovely people who never even tried to even smoke in their entire lives..

@Lostpoet Interesting. Also an odd find..... the art of motorcyle maintenance and peyote. What have you been reading?

A quick read brings about this,
I was taking sleeping pills. And I had taken peyote [an hallucinogen] which changes your serotonin levels and so on. I was definitely manic, anyway, but manics can tell the truth too. When I got to Chicago I was again making problems for people, and I could see I was coming to a dead end. That's when the depression took hold. (Robert Pirsig)

There is evidence for hallucinogen's helping with depression.

Not what I felt in song when I shared, exactly, but I wonder what Robbie meant? Writer's use metaphors too and it's considered an Indigenous drug, so what he sang about, did he write in some understanding, or having had taken? Curious...... it's known people look to drugs to calm their mind. I felt a silence spoken.
