About The Sacred Herbs
Herbs are gifts from God the Giver of life. The knowledge of the wonder herbs have been the privilege of a closely guarded few over the ages and in a way still is, as our forefathers kept a lot of these knowledge secret and many went to their graves with them. They acted the way they did, partly because they did not trust our generation to keep this sacred knowledge without abusing them.
The other reason perhaps why a lot of the sacred information about herbs has been kept under wraps is the same reason why you would want to keep away explosive materials from children. Some of these herbs have certain potency and properties, and are used in some specialized ways. You have to be given some privileged training about their uses.
"There are rainmakers in Africa who are able to condense rain from a clear blue sky within minutes with herbs. There are also those who are able to disperse rain or prevent it from falling within a particular area or clearly defined space. Today, they make brisk business doing these things. This is an example of abusive use of knowledge".
There are herbs that can enable one to see into other dimensions of reality, and the ability to manipulate matter, etc. I can go on and on. However, let me state here that the use of herbs and other alternative methods of healing can achieve a lot, but they are not a panacea for all conditions. Many times, they may fail to address an individual’s health concerns. This kind of situation which still baffle many genuine practitioners lies in that individual’s state of consciousness and the peculiar challenges and experiences chosen before this life time. This is one of those cases that are best handled by adept practitioners. The problem is they are very rare to find.
