Mexican – Puma Swede Blog

I got some leftovers from 2022 that I thought I’d share.

Got back from San Francisco last week. It was a great trip and fun to be back in my old hoods. I lived there for a year. When it was time to land at SFO I look out of the window and there’s a plane pretty damn close to our plane. Never seen that before. And when we start to go down and are about to land, our plane just speeds up and takes off again. The captain announced that it was crowded on the landing strip. No shit. I think the Southwest plane beat us lol…

First thing I did was to meet up with Patricia and her doggie. I met her at the crossfit gym when I lived in Mountain View. She is Mexican and has the same humor as me – nothing being off limits. So the day I met her at the gym, we are holding ourselves up in a pull up position for as long as we can on the bars. She looks over at me and says: “This reminds me when me and my family climbed the wall over from Mexico to the US”. I just crack up and had to let go of the bar. “Beat ya’ blondie” she says and kept hanging on the bar hahahaaa…

All of a sudden while we’re eating we hear a engine revving and a loud noise. Turns out this lady hit the gas a bit too hard and ended up in the mid section of the road. We talked to her and she was fine…

I hit all my favorite coffee spots while in town. Verve, Wreckingball, and Ritual being a couple of them.

Excited to get my mouth on some Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake ice-cream and getting a selfie with my favorite Elf who was in the neighbourhood.

Santa was nice this year too. Or maybe it’s just me who was nice and got rewarded 🙂 A pic of me and the ugliest wrapped Xmas gift. But it’s the inside that matters, right?

Got some coffee too, Puma socks and so excited about the Meta VR set. I think VR is amazing and if you have any cool tips on what to play or experience on there, please let me know. I do have Resident Evil but I got stuck at the first door cause I couldn’t figure out how to open it hahahaaa…

That was about it from SF. Before I left I was invited to another Guess event by my friend Dyana. Why can’t I do my hair like this on my own???

I also put together a small Swedish pre-Christmas celebration. I made meatball sandwiches with ‘rödbetssallad’ which is beet salad, some cured salmon with this sweet mustard from IKEA, and this amazing Daim cake.

Had some friends in town and we went to see the Teotihuacan pyramids. I had no idea about the history behind them. Someone said there are some documentaries about them and I want to see that. If I remember correctly they built these to be positioned after the stars. In the first photo on the 3rd row you can see how they apparently messed up the positioning of the building. They then just rebuilt a new structure on top of the messed up one with correct positioning. Very cool and if you visit Mexico, go see them.

You didn’t think I forgot to work did you?

And working out… Or checking how my mobility is 🙂 This could maybe be useful in other places than the gym hehheee…

Good thing I got more Puma socks cause Hunter likes to represent LOL…

Ok, time to move over to 2023! Have a fantastic week!

I often take lsd or mushrooms in various dosages. I personally believe in the benefits of these substances and expanding the mind. I also think there is huge difference betweens psychedelic ‘medicine’, and drugs like cocaine that doesn’t offer you anything beneficial other than sobering up or feeling great at the moment. Same thing with alcohol really. It’s widely accepted for people to get drunk, and consider how many lives are affected and ruined by it. I research, read a lot, and have great respect for psychedelics. I don’t write this as an encouragement, just sharing my opinions and experiences.

I know a native Mexican guy here who has a lot of experience in this field and has published studies about different medicines and psychedelics. I have been curious for a long time about DMT and he facilitated a Changa ceremony for me and a friend.

https://psychedelicspotlight.com/ says this about the Changa – ‘Changa is a smokeable mixture containing the psychoactive substance dimethyltryptamine (DMT).’

I felt relaxed the morning of the ceremony. Only drank water and didn’t eat anything. We met at 10am and talked about the ceremony. We first got some rapé that had a very calming effect. It is blown through a pipe up in your nose.

Rape is a “sacred tobacco” used by shamans in the Amazon region. It is also known as Hapay or Hapi. The ancient Mayan and Inca cultures used rapé in their rituals. For what purpose? It was believed that in this way they could connect with the Great Spirit and draw energy from it, called Yushibu (the power of creativity and creation).

Then we lied down and got some eye drops from a plant that grows by a river in the Amazons. That was the hardest part. It stings so bad and you were not allowed to rub your eyes. It got better and passed in about 2-3min. I believe this part of the ceremony has something to do with the river water somehow transporting the spirits inside your body. Not 100% sure since it was a lot to take in…

Then there was the protection of tobacco blown over our bodies. Also rubbing our arms and belly with some powder. Then holding hands and asking for the spirits to guide the way. Then it was time to smoke the Changa he had prepared for us. He blows the smoke through a glass pipe and you inhale, hold it down and breathe it out. On my 3rd inhale everything in the room started to morph heavily. After the 4th inhale I immediately felt like I had to close my eyes and lie down. He then placed a cloth over our eyes. It’s hard to describe it to make sense. I saw a native Indian chief at first. Then moving mandalas. Then came the spirits that felt ancient and mixed with different animals. They surrounded me and it was so very beautiful. I wasn’t scared, but it felt intense. Then it started to lose its’ strength and the visuals became less and less. I started crying. Not out of sadness, more like a relief. I think it all lasted for about 5 minutes. It was such a powerful experience and I spent the rest of the day just relaxing and thinking about what was shown to me… I am convinced I will do it again.

I will make another blog post about other stuff I did last week too 🙂 Just feel that this one deserved it’s own post.
