THE GROUP ENERGY-SHARING EPISODES
A South American Account of Sacred Sex
by Johnny Appleseed
We see the THREE YOUNG WOMEN in various situations, gardening, processing food, etc.
They are always very close together, touching, talking, and throwing mischievous flirting
glances at Manuel. There is one scene where they are trying to move a vine out of the way of
their taro patch, and Manuel is there. They drag him over and make him help them with much
giggling and touching. Afterwards, they talk animatedly.
During this, the older woman are aware of what is going on, and one evening, they all come
together in their sleeping groups and gradually drift together and surround the three young
women and lead them off into the jungle.
They are led along a trail to a hidden cave. Outside they are smudged, given a drink of a herbal
potion, and then led in with chanting. Inside we see a very dark image of an enormous woman
sitting on a kind of throne. There is a large hole leading down from the main room and we see a
faint light coming from there, just enough to know it is there.
The woman arrange themselves in a circle around the large woman, keeping together in their
sleeping groups. The three young woman are curled up next to the large woman, the others in
a circle gathered all around them. It is like a large mandala.
Chanting is started, and we see energy start to be generated as a network of blue lines of
energy radiating over the surface of the woman. Then it concentrates as a ball of this blue
energy in her hips. This spreads out to envelope the three young woman, and then the whole
group. It gradually starts to pulse and knit together until the whole group is one humming pool
of energy. They lie like that for some time, and then the scene fades out.
The next morning we see the group of the old women taking the group of young woman into
the forest and showing them certain plants. We also see them talking earnestly to Xumu. The
head old woman says, "Manuel has been chosen by the young women, it is time for a joining
ceremony." Xumu says, "How did the session with the old one go?" The second old woman
says," The energy was very strong. They will carry Manuel very far." They all break out
laughing.
Preparations are shown for a feast. A new house is built by the village, and the young women
move into it. Game is brought in and dried, firewood gathered, herbal preparations are made.
Towards evening, Xumu comes out of his house dressed in his ceremonial clothing, followed by
his old women. They circle around the camp, and other families join them. The circle goes into
the new house and brings out the three young women, who join in the dance . Then they lead
the circle into Xumu’s house and the bring out Manuel, who finally joins the dance. They spiral
inward with Manuel and the three woman in the center, until they are in a tight group. The
chant builds to a climax until there is a loud shout and then silence. The rest of the people
wander off and Manuel and the three young women go to the new house.
It is getting dark by now and we see them by a small fire sitting in a circle drinking an herbal
preparation, chanting, and then getting into a large hammock. Manuel gets in first, and the
girls briefly confer among themselves in native tongue, then one gets in first and cuddles with
Manuel, and the other two lay one on each side of the couple.
As the first girl rolls over on top and the other two cuddle up close, we start to hear the hum
and see the energy radiations of the herbal effects. The energy starts to build between the girl
and Manuel in the sexual centers, and then radiates out over the bodies of everyone. As the
blue energy knits them into one now slowly spinning pool of energy, we see superimposed on
this scene the faces of all four of them facing inward toward one another, their faces open with
ecstatic delight. These faces are of the same people we see huddled together in the hammock,
but they are made of energy, sort of a bluish outline. They throw their heads back and the faces
slowly start to spin until they blend together into one composite face. This image slowly starts
to rotate.
This composite image slowly starts to raise above the intertwined bodies, moving up through
the roof and into the night air over the village. The large trees surrounding the village also
have an energy glow around them, and the composite image slowly drifts toward one of them,
enters and moves up through it, and emerges out the top of the canopy into the night sky. The
stars are bright on a jet black background, and we see hovering over the village other
composite images, slowly spinning. In the background we hear the words and music of a
ceremony. The composite images start to move toward each other and revolve in a slow circle
over the village that eventually becomes a ring of light. Slow dissolve.
The next morning we see the girls and Manuel slowly stirring from their hammock. The girls
act shy around Manuel, but laugh and giggle amongst themselves as normal teenagers would.
When Xumu approaches the house to get Manuel for a day of plant hunting, they become
instantly stoic and impassive.
As Manuel accompanies Xumu around the village he notices that all the women keep together
in their groups, something that we have seen in the movie before, but not in a noticeable way.
This morning however, they seem to be more than ordinarily close.
As they go out into the forest to gather herbs, we see groups of women also gathering herbs,
something that is not usually done in view of the men. When they get back to the village, the
men and the women extract their batches of ayahuasca and other herbs separately.
That night, there is a long round dance in the village, and then a procession off to the cave of
the old mother. They file in and take up places around the old mother in a circle, with Xumu in
the center with his women around him. They take their potions, and the chanting and energy
flashes start to flow over their bodies, starting from the old mother and Xumu, and then
spreading over everyone. Manuel and his young women are part of the group.
We see from the viewpoint of the old mother and Xumu that they become a flow of detached
energy seen as faces of energy. These merge into a composite and the composite slowly
rotates with the other sleeping group composites until there is a ring of light. This slowly lifts
off of the now trancelike pile of bodies, and slowly moves into and down the hole in the cave
floor.
We are shown scenes of the cave walls going by, and then giant crystals. Then we come to
great tree roots glowing with energy. We merge into these and follow them up and out of a
great tree and into the night sky. We keep going up until the village is left far behind, and we
can see the curvature of the earth. Then other rings of light come into view, and our ring
slowly moves into formation with them, forming a ring of rings. Views of deep space. Views of
ancestors of long ago, cavemen, etc, sitting in circle and drinking the same potion. Views of
DNA molecules inside the body twining around each other and exchanging the same kind of
blue energy. Views of futuristic technological cities of the future that we swoop into and
through the walls of and find groups of people sitting in circle and taking ayahuasca. These
people are some of the same people in the tribe. Views of deep space. Fade out.
Back in the cave. Very early morning. Xumu is speaking, we catch him in mid sentence. "..so
that is why it is so important to keep our tribe together, to keep the sacred knowledge intact.
As long as we keep doing these ceremonies of merging together and contacting the ancestors,
they will continue to have an energy vehicle to to come back to, and they will not diffuse and
dissipate, and we will continue to have their knowledge and wisdom of how to live. We will
have a home for our spirits, and immortality when we die. We must teach our young people to
continue these sacred ways, so that when we pass beyond our bodies, we too will have a place
to re-form our consciousness once again. Otherwise we will be like the animals, and our minds
will dissipate when we die. We must find some way to teach other people how to do this.
Perhaps young Manuel here, will play a part in this. The old great mother here , the one who
does not speak, is the one that keeps us in constant communication with our ancestors. They
live in her, and she in them. When we all go to join them like last night, then they come into all
of us and we are renewed and our minds are filled with new knowledge. Then we know our
world, and what we need to do next. None of us can make this journey by ourselves, it takes all
of us, men and women, to combine our energies to make the connection across the stars to the
place of the grandfathers and grandmothers. They live there together as one all the time. We
must strive to be able to join them."
Later with Xumu
"Xumu, what do you call this thing that we did last night?" asked Manuel.
"What thing?" asked Xumu. They are both sitting in front of Xumu’s house peeling bark from a
pile of vines.
" You know, lying together and seeing the, the.."
"The Hõna, all of you together?"
"Is that what you call it, Hõna?"
"Yes, the Hõna is what we call the image, the energy body, the experience of that which you
become when you join your essence with others. It is something you see, you feel , you
experience. Did you enjoy it?"
"Enjoy is not the right word, it was more like a feeling that for the first time I was in my right
place, that I was truly home and at peace for the first time. So we see this thing you call the
Hõna. But what is it and how do we do it?"
"What it is is part a mystery, and part a natural thing that happens when we bring the right
conditions together. You must want to join your energies together. It happens much easier
when there are two different sexes involved. And of course the sacred plants are intimately
involved. Ayahuasca and some other mixtures we add in just for this experience is our way of
evoking this experience. But the most important part is the part your energies and will play.
You must want to join with another and participate and hold the experience together.
Otherwise the visions and energies all go their separate ways. You have a very interesting
time, but you do not join with the others, and have access to the all, the realm of the
grandfathers. It is at the heart of everything, this wanting to join.
Rocks want to join together with other rocks of their kind. The drop of water always wants to
join with another drop of water. If I drop a piece of earth, it always wants to fall back down and
join its family on the earth. All creatures want to join with their kind and form a family. Our
people have found a way to join our soul or essence or spirits, through the use of ayahuasca. It
is very natural, it is just following the way of all things that want to join together."
"But grandfather, why do we have to use ayahuasca, and why do we have to want to do this?
Shouldn’t it happen very naturally by itself?"
"All these things we do are very natural. We must eat to stay alive, we must take medicines to
keep our bodies strong and healthy. This ayahuasca is a medicine for our mind. With it we
receive information that helps us see how to live. It is what allows us to join our minds to
whatever we see. The reason that we have to have the intention to join with others of our kind
is that ayahuasca allows us to join with whatever we want to, be it a plant to find out what is
good for, the animals of the forest to learn their ways so that we can feed ourselves, or other of
our own kind so that we can be one tribe and live together in peace, and fly to the stars.
Without our own will guiding us we would be wandering around lost. That is why it is important
to have the training and the support of those who know this experience well. They help you
join together."
But grandfather, what about when all of us joined together at the cave of the great mother.?
We seemed to all join together as a larger group, journey out beyond the stars, and there
seemed to be others of our kind. What is that called?"
Old Xumu looked thoughtful for a moment. The he finally said, "It is true that when we all join
together in the larger group we can travel beyond where we can when we are only in our little
family group. Although with practice one can go quite far. And what we find out there is very
strange. It is true there must be others that journey such as we do. We know there is a wide
world beyond the bounds of our forest. Perhaps some others of us in other hidden reaches of
the jungle in other lands have found the vine or other plant medicines that release the spirit to
join together and journey such as we do, but we have heard that the majority of people of the
so called civilized world actually prohibit this. This is very strange , and we do not understand
it. How can your tribes stay together and have good will for all if you do not journey together?
This is not the way we were meant to be.
We call this joining together of all in the village the Great journey, or Hõgan. It is something
great and mysterious. We join with our ancestors who have gone before us, and they come
alive again. We also sometimes see what must be things in the future, things that do not exist
on this earth and are very strange. But most of all we share with other groups that have been
able to come together as we do. Perhaps some of them come from some of the stars that fill the
sky at night, who knows. We meet together and share our being, but we do not actually
communicate as we are doing here now. Perhaps some day we will."
