 All right, so we're talking about Cylene capensis or Cylene capensis. This is a very interesting substance. There's not much information about this but the people that have used Cylene capensis and I'm going to be trying it very soon, if I can get a hold of some, is that they've noticed that you're able to invoke very vivid and profound dreams and the chance to be becoming lucid in those dreams is a lot higher. So it's obviously another dream enhancer, another lucid dream. I don't want to say inducer because nothing really induces a lucid dream. It's it's more of a lucid dreaming aid or lucid dreaming support. So in this video I'm just going to tell you a bit more about Cylene capensis and how you can use it, you know, some of the benefits, some of the side effects and maybe where you can get some because it's quite hard to get a hold of this stuff. So for a long time the shamans of Africa used this herb to actually connect with the elders of their tribe or what they would refer to as the lost ones or, you know, their their spirit guides and although that sounds a bit wacky, there is some sort of truth behind this. You know, it was originally called Antlella Zimhalofae. I think I'm saying that right. That's probably completely wrong. The other name for it is simply white paths or white spirits and the people that used it, you know, they thought of Cylene capensis as a powerful healing herb and they would use it for its effects and its healing properties on the body. And I find this so interesting because there are so many herbs and plants and things that we just don't know enough about, you know, these natural remedies or alternative medicines that a lot of people around the world use and we just know almost nothing about them. They're so interesting and amazing. And when we do study them, you know, the very the rare ones that we do study, we find out that they're really onto something. There's actually some incredible benefits and interesting effects of these substances. So traditionally in the Khosa traditional death ceremony, the plant is actually used to sort of bring closure and peace to the people and give a sense of symbiosis and connection between the living and the dead. And so it's sort of like a gateway substance almost to connect these two different worlds, the living and the dead. And it's like a way of a way of making peace with what's happened and sort of passing through. So it's a very interesting concept in the traditional ceremonies that use this substance. They actually have a three day lot of full three day ceremony, including all sorts of initiations and weirds, like I don't want to say weird, but different and unusual rituals and things that they do in regards to how it actually relates to lucid dreaming. OK, you can't just go out and buy, you know, like a pill of this stuff. At least I don't think you can at the time of making this. Traditionally, you would have to get what's known as the root or the Chosa root, the Chosa root, the Selian capensis root. And you would use that, you would use that ideally by breaking it up into small pieces and then steeping it in some hot water. So you then drink the water, almost like a tea or a brew, and then the active ingredients would come from the root and then into your bloodstream through you drinking the substance like that. Now, with this sort of thing, obviously, you have to be very careful with where you get it from for one, like not every cellar or vendor is reputable. So choose your vendor carefully, but also you need to make sure that you get the dosages right. Start with the absolute smallest dose and, you know, ask the whoever you buy it from, ask them what the smallest safe dose is and don't accidentally, you know, take too much of it or too strong a dose. Because with this sort of stuff, you can never be too careful. You know, there's all sorts of horror stories of reactions and interactions. So just start off really slowly with a small dosage if you're going to try this and then go from that. Allegedly, it takes several hours before the effects actually start to kick in. So ideally, you would have some sort of food about an hour after taking the root to keep yourself going while you're waiting for the effects to kick in. And then you might even need a few more doses of the root later on during the day if it's not enough. It's definitely a good idea to have somebody with you if you're going to even think about trying this. I've personally never tried it, so I can't say, you know, what exactly it feels like. I'm just sort of summarizing what's been done on it and what's been said on this substance in the past. In terms of actually how you know when it's working, it seems to be quite vague, you know, certainly from the stories and the experiences I'm reading about online. People don't seem to know exactly when they've achieved the desired result. And I assume the desired result is an effect on your dreams or some sort of hallucinogenic state or vision. But actually, when that will happen is sort of unclear. And I can't really find any reliable information about when and how that would happen. So really, I guess it's just a case of trial and error and sort of researching about it. Consulting like your doctor or whoever you are consulting with this stuff or your nutritional list or whoever. And really just being careful about the dosages and learning how it interacts with various things that you also might be taking. Like, for example, if you're on any other sorts of medications, it could have a reaction with those. But in terms of like actual effects of when you do take it and when you get the right dosage of the active ingredients into your system, people report all sorts of things from like vivid dreams to intense visions, hallucinogenic states, being able to perceive what people have described as a much broader spectrum of color than they are used to. If you imagine all of the colors that you know and are aware of now, imagine now being able to perceive and understand 10 times the amount of colors that you already know. And it doesn't really, you can't really imagine something like that very easily because you know what colors exist and you don't know what colors don't exist. Because it's sort of like a paradox. But if you imagine just being able to perceive more colors than you know exist, that's sort of the effect and the level of intensity that this substance can give you. So that's it for now, guys. If you do want to have a look or like learn more about this, I did write a blog post about this. But again, there's not much information that I could find about how to use it and people's experiences.
