Sitting Bull was a medicine man. Medicine meaning many things to Indians. Medicine men possesed powers not given to regular indians. They could forsee the future and do all the forementioned things that I myself experienced plus a lot more. It took me two years of tuteledge before I achieved those gifts. I could feel a rattlesnake at a hundred yards. I'd get the vibe and go find the snake. Rattlesnakes are very peaceful creatures unless riled except when they're shedding their skin. most of the time, you can pick them up gently (with a stick, I'm not crazy) and they'll just hang there without a struggle. The thing about Peyote is that if you treat it like a drug, you'll just puke and see colors. If you understand that it is a sacred gift from the creator and use it as it is supposed to be, you may find that there is something special about it: read Carlos Castenados, Can't remember the name of the book, but if you seek it out under author I'm sure you can find it:Out of body is a really neat experience, Have you ever had a flying dream where you are flying with your body only, this is possible with Peyote while your awake. You are connected to your body by a silver strand and you can fly all, over the place, but don't break the cord or you no longer exist in your earthley body, Ie. you die. one of my greatest rewards from the medicine, was being in the presence of the Thunderbird. the bird was at least 30 feet long with about a 200ft. wingspan, you don't see those every day! Now that I've totally intrigued you, do your self a favor and read some books on the subject. By the way, Mescalin is only one of the drug compounds found in peyote. they say if you go into the peyote fields of the Rio Grande valley at night, you can see a blue light coming from the mature plants. I'll tell you this, when you first try it, it is the nastiest tasting thing you'll ever experience. with extended usage, you'll learn to enjoy the taste as you anticipate the high. For sure, the first few times you eat them (peyote buttons) you'll puke, after a while, there's no puking just the intense high. you can also make a tea out of them. In the early '70's I was busted with 30 lbs of medicine, due to bad karma on the senders end. I haven't experienced them since! By the way, it's legal for certain Indian tribes to have these as it is an integral part of their religion, not white boys! When I got busted the Narcs didn't even know what it was, they just knew that the UPS had called the police and put a rider on the shipment to me, My medicine man (the supplier) hid out on the reservation and as far as I know never got busted. The FBI was looking for him for interstate transfer of a narcotic!The three recepients of the 3 packages he sent did, me included!
