Peyote ceremony themed trip

I had such a healing trip last night in the theme of the peyote ceremony. I read a book by a native american medcine man and it explains a lot about the native worldview and he talks a little about the peyote ceremony.
I decided to trip in this spirit with 33 inches of San Pedro. I listened to native american peyote music and built a fire, prayed and read from the Book of Revelation, all typical components of the peyote ceremony.
At last I felt like I understand how to use the psychedelic energy for healing. It was incredible to trip like this. The music guided me and brought me into contact with the spirits of native american medicine men who showed me the path of healing and righteousness. They taught me that I was one with the Great Spirit, the Wakan Tanka and that everything I experience is within me. I entered into ecstasy and then dream time where I began to lean how to create my own reality. I faced a lot of the pain and darkness within myself. The peyote, err San Pedro, revealed to me that life is an endless process of making love between the Father and Mother aspects of God. I had visions of the great Thunder Beings talked about in the book.
At one point during the night, some skunks came. I was happily watching them when one began to Approach me. It literally came within three feet of me. I refused to give into fear of being sprayed, to give into the white man way of seeing where nature is regarded as external and something to fear. The skunk stood on its kind legs and looked directly at me. Then it sort of shook itself as if to threaten me or try to scare me. When I didn't flinch, it immediately turned around and scurried off. I felt as though I had passed its test, that I was part of nature too and that I belonged there. I thought about the Christian saints who could communicate with animals but I decided If I am going to make friends with wild animals I would prefer to start with something other than skunks.
Btw if you have ever wondered where the skunk came from, here is the native american origin story: http://www.firstpeople.us/FP-Html-Legends/SkunkOriginMyth-Winnebago.html
After this experience, I plan to do more peyote ceremonies. I would love to attend a real one but maybe in the mean time, I will acquire the rest of the necessary materials to conduct my own.

Yeah, when you trip this way with the right intention and a sacred ceremonial setting, it changes the whole experience. Instead of your energy going all over the place, this focus it on the divine. Its incredible. Faith is very important.
I also listened to a The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence and read by a girl with a very beautiful voice. This also really influenced the trip because I could understand so much of what he said. ANd when I read from Revelation, all the visions made sense to me and I could understand what St. John was speaking about.
I feel so blessed to have discovered this method of tripping. I am going to do a peyote ceremony 2-3 times a month from now on until I feel I have gained all I can from it.
Btw, gathering fire wood and making the fire while tripping conected me to something very primal in me. I felt like how it was to be a kid again and be fascinated with fire. I was freed from that stupid adult white man voice in your head, the business man who is always judging and comparing and instead I felt like a true indian.
