Exploring Tobacco’s Sacred, Healing, and Controversial Dimensions.
Tobacco kills and is bad for you.
For as long as I can remember, tobacco has been demonised in our society. I remember an uncle of mine suffering a lung collapse and a heart attack at a relatively young age, which was attributed to cigarettes. Luckily, he survived the surgery and went on to enjoy his remaining years, although he never made it to old age. Throughout my childhood, I often heard that tobacco kills and is bad for you, and this and other examples were brought up in conversation all too often. Funnily enough, though, in every cowboy-related film aired on television, whenever the Americans and the Indians were discussing peace, a pipe of tobacco would be smoked. It’s a curious custom; it’s almost as if a hidden message was being given in plain sight. You probably know by now that it is standard practice for the societal controllers to display the truth, though hidden beneath lies and spectacles. This is true of all modern media formats, particularly in the film and music industries. Returning to the point at hand, all too often, ‘the matrix’ demonises and alters plants that would otherwise potentially help us to heal. More recently certain social media figures including Dr. Bryan Ardis have been sharing an opposite narrative to the conventional, citing different studies exploring the medicinal uses of nicotine and its beneficial effects on the body. So let’s explore all this a little further and consider whether the tobacco is a friend or foe.
Tobacco: a Sacred Plant
As we’ve already mentioned, who could forget a Western film in which a tobacco pipe was ceremoniously smoked as part of a peace offering? As I have learned through my own shamanic explorations, this is standard practice in many ancient tribal customs in the Americas. In traditional ayahuasca rituals, rapé or ambil is used as an opening: partly a cleanse and partly a gateway and protector into the spiritual, otherworldly landscape. It is said to be a way of conducting our prayers into the heavens, connecting us to the divine masculine within. It is also known that, in the late sixteenth century, snuff was particularly popular among the European nobility. This custom was imported from the Americas as a consequence of imperialistic expansion. It is more than likely that this custom entered Europe as a result of interactions between colonists and different indigenous tribes, bringing with it the message of its divine qualities. Even today, indigenous traditions consider tobacco to be a sacred plant. In sixteenth-century Europe, it was said to clear the head, cure headaches and restores health. At some point, it was reportedly thought to aid in curing the infamous bubonic plague, which has resurfaced periodically throughout our recorded history.
The Therapeutic Potential of Nicotine: Exploring Its Benefits for Cognitive Health and Neurological Disorders.
As with all things in this world, whenever a plant has an effect and impact on our biology and/or awareness, there is always an alkaloid present, and the tobacco plant is an example of this, with the alkaloid being nicotine. Modern-day research has investigated nicotine in relation to health problems. Studies investigating the therapeutic effects of nicotine highlight its potential benefits in treating various neurological and cognitive disorders. Studies indicate that nicotine has neuroprotective properties that may aid the treatment of conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Nicotine appears to enhance cognitive functions, making it particularly relevant for individuals with mild cognitive impairment and ADHD. Reputable journal reviews show that nicotine may alleviate depression symptoms and improve memory and processing speed. Furthermore, ongoing research is investigating the use of nicotine as a therapeutic agent in medical contexts, underscoring the necessity of further studies to fully grasp its capabilities and mechanisms. Overall, these findings suggest that nicotine could be a promising addition to clinical treatments focused on cognitive health and neurological function. Dr Bryan Ardis currently claims that nicotine protects us from certain poisons that would otherwise attach to the same neuro-receptors as nicotine does, and he even claims that it aids in destroying any nanotechnology that may reside in our bodies.
The Evolution of Tobacco: From Glamour to Controversy and the Psychology of Perception.
One thing must be said about the tobacco industry, it certainly moves a lot of money. This is true of our current and not-so-current society. If you are old enough, you will remember tobacco sponsorship of almost every sporting event imaginable, especially racing and betting. You might also remember that, at one point, smoking was sold as cool and sexy. If you go back far enough, it may even have sponsored wars. More recently, tobacco has been demonised, and we have been told that it kills and causes cancer. This has penalised the industry and made it illegal to advertise it directly. Currently, tobacco pouches and cigarette boxes alike are filled with dire health warnings of various kinds, which are sometimes accompanied by graphic images that can have a negative impact. This type of heavy advertising is said to be used to dissuade you from taking up a bad and deadly habit. Anyone with even a little knowledge of psychology and the workings of the mind will tell you that this is essentially a negative type of programming and reprogramming protocol, a mindset and belief system that makes you think tobacco kills. We are constantly creating and recreating our own reality, and with that, we can sustain any narrative. Perhaps tobacco itself doesn’t kill; as we all know too well by now, there are many additives and substances that may contribute to the detriment of our health instead.
Reevaluating Tobacco: Friend or Foe in the Context of Health and Modern Narratives.
So, what conclusions can we draw from all this? Is tobacco a friend or a foe? We all know by now that the technocratic vision for a new world is for us to embrace transhumanism as an inevitable way of life. Various scientists around the world discovered that the mRNA vaccines developed for the 2020 pandemic were contaminated with nano technology. Perhaps, then, nicotine is a necessary compound for our current afflictions. In my experience, there are different types of tobacco, some with fewer chemicals than others. I can certainly tell you that these modern organic tobacco pouches are far less toxic than the cigarettes you might have smoked in the ’80s or ’90s. The method of ingestion also makes a difference, as I’m sure we can all agree. Inhaling tobacco through combustion is not the same as ingesting it orally, via an enema or through the nose, whether it be rapé or snuff. So perhaps it’s true that even though tobacco is still adulterated, it has healing and protective properties that do not align with the current mainstream narrative and objectives. If tobacco is indeed sacred and neuroprotective and serves as a guardian in the spiritual realms, then, as Dr Bryan Ardis suggests, it may be helping us to combat certain poisons and eradicate the nano technology which we have been reportedly infested with. If this were the case, the reasons why tobacco has gone from friend to foe in the face of heavy matrix programming could be understood. What do you think of all this?
