Arabian Queen

Wisdom:

Arabian Queen is a powerful plant medicine.  Today called marijuana, she has assisted humanity for thousands of years.  Here we learn about her history, how she requests humans work with her now, and other aspects of this sentient plant being.

Deeper Dive :

My experience with the Arabian Queen started a number of years ago.  I had just opened to the understanding that plants are sentient beings and that many are here to assist humanity via their powerful medicine.  We all know that marijuana has had a tumultuous existence in the past 40 years of our history; erroneous propaganda saying she is addictive and evil while many continued seeking her out for her powerful healing abilities.  During this time, though illegal, many also moved to using her recreationally for the ‘high’ only. This too denigraded her true purpose.

Arabian Queen – Ancient History

At the time that the early light was being shed upon the innate and benign benefits of marijuana, I was curious to learn the truth.  Knowing this mixed history of marijuana in our recent past, I decided I wanted to learn from her what is her true medicine, what are her true mysteries, what are the benefits of her whole essence.  I set intention to learn her truth, and I micro-dosed with her for three days.  Each day, I reiterated my intention, honored her, and ingested a very small amount of marijuana in edible form with great ceremony.  Each day I sat with her in my body, focused on her, honored her presence, and learned from her. 

On day three, she presented herself.  As I sat journaling, I sensed her approaching me from my left side – the feminine side.  She stood in a human persona, tall and proud with a powerful presence. The title “Arabian Queen” immediately filled me with awe and understanding of her great stature among sentient beings. Her dark skin and dark eyes radiated her inner light.  Her long, dark hair flowed freely under her green-scarfed headdress that had emerald gems set into a thin metal frame which gently rested on her head and across her forehead.  Her dark emerald green gown sparkled with gold and gemstone accents as it flowed around her in layers of silks, satins, and gossamers. 

I turned toward her, bowed my head slightly, and said “thank you for presenting yourself.  It is a great honor to see your pure essence in a human persona.” She seemed to bow her head slightly towards me and outstretched her hands ever so slightly in a gesture of welcoming and mutual respect. Very demur, I sensed that it took the three days for her to decide she could trust me enough to come forward in her whole presence.  For you see that for many decades, she had been used wantonly and recreationally, and she had been thoroughly disrespected and mis-treated by those spreading the erroneous propaganda about her.  As such, she approachs cautiously.    

I sensed that she had something to share with me.  I asked her how I might choose to assist her.  

I sensed she requested: “when its time, show the people who I truly am.” 

I agreed that I would.

Next she showed me a vision of how she assisted humanity in antiquity:

It was many, many centuries ago. We were in a circular tent of a nomadic, Persian tribe. The meal had been served, all had eaten, and everyone sat around appreciating light conversation after the hearty meal.  Men and women and children mingled in family units around the perimeter of their comfortable enclosure. 

After some time, one by one, the men reached for their hashish pipe which contained their favorite plant medicine, Arabian Queen. Scattered around the perimeter of their tent, their smoke began to rise, reaching everyone in an intimate embrace. The natural musicians of the group pulled out their drums, harps, tambourines, and flutes. As the sweet, intoxicating smoke of the Arabian Queen filled the air, women entered the center of the circle and danced.  Arms extended in many scarves, they spun and swooped and swirled passionately to the music, praising the loving energy of the plant medicine.  The medicine swirled in the air and created an atmosphere of joy and abundance.  The music and dancing continued with laughter, clapping, and joyful singing.  And the energy of the Arabian Queen’s medicine continued to build. The entire tent was filled with love and compassion and a strong sense of community.  Until, eventually the people got tired and settled down into sleep.  

Medicine of Arabian Queen worked with each person as they slept. Any rifts or misunderstandings were healed, and each was filled with a great adoration for the people of their small tribe.  Ultimately, this created a powerful bond inside this small, close-knit community. Arabian Queen showed me how she assisted them in being a cohesive group. This assured their continued health and their very existence. 

As the vision came to an end, Arabian Queen continued to stand nearby me to assure I received and fully comprehended her message.  This only took a moment. Then, our session was complete and she was gone.  

And now, 2020, it is time that I show the people who Arabian Queen really is.  It is time that I shared this vision she had presented. 

Arabian Queen in 2020 

It has been many years since I worked with the Arabian Queen.  Now, as she becomes more understood and more respected for her medicinal attributes, I decided to visit with her again.  

4-20-2020, I set intention to learn from her: 

  • How would she prefer that humans work with her now for the most optimal outcome?  
  • How does she feel about some people working on a GMO (genetically modified) version of her essence?

Working with her through a ceremonial atmosphere, here is what she taught me.

Humans Working with Her 
  • No matter a person’s level of experience, she seeks respect from all who work with her. This means:
    • Understand that, like all medicinal plants, she is a sentient being.  She senses the person, and she responds.
    • Be mindful when consuming her medicine; be conscious of the union
    • Set an intention for taking her medicine, i.e. to relax, for clarity, to ease aches, to step into a higher level of consciousness for a time, to learn from her, to grow more deeply in love, and so on.
    • Be grateful for what she is able to assist with
  • Those of us who have worked ceremonially with other powerful plant medicines (ayahuasca, peyote, and so on), she senses our understanding of plant medicine. As such, she requests the same honorable, ceremonial treatment.  As always, with wisdom comes responsibility; once a person works respectfully with one plant medicine, they all require the same.  Understand thereafter, we are no longer able to use marijuana recreationally.  She requests: always work with her respectfully and with intention. 
  • Those of us who have only used plants and other “drugs” recreationally, she requests we broaden our understanding of who she is. Show her respect and set intention.  If we approach respectfully and with intention, the Arabian Queen will bring beneficial results:
    • We will have a more in-depth, intimate experience.  This is true because we will be experiencing her true whole medicine, not just the superficial recreational version. 
    • She will open to each of us and begin to work with us based on our intentions. 
    • She will develop a relationship with each of us, and we will begin to feel not only her effects but her whole presence.  
    • If desired, she can work with a person on an ongoing basis on a particular topic, i.e. repair a relationship with a family member, face fears, release phobias, overcome an obstacle, and so on. 
Genetically Modified

It took most of the day’s ceremony before Arabian Queen addressed the question about possibly being genetically modified (GMO).  She explained that this question baffled her because it is an oxymoron.  If a “genetic modification” occurs, then by definition, it is no longer her essence.   Every genetic code each of us has is exactly what makes us who we are: our energetic make up, our multi-dimensional abilities, our gifts, our lineage, and so on. 

If any one of us were to go through a “genetic modification” we would be changing the very make up of who we are at the essence level.  Therefore, she disqualifies the question.  If people attempted to modify her genetic code, their efforts would result in a mutation that was not her.  Perhaps the user of such may feel the effects of a chemical compound. However, they cannot build a relationship with her whole presence because she simply is not there. She stopped the conversation at this point because it is finite. No more to explain. 

Conclusion:

As with all medicinal plants, Arabian Queen has been assisting humanity for thousands of years.  Much of her mystery and beneficial attributes had been lost in the passages of time, until now.  Many are awakening to her pure beauty, and she is open to sharing her whole essence with those willing to work with her honorably and respectfully.
