Thank you for your interest in the forums at Entheo-WorldEyes.org (formerly Entheology.org). The WorldEyes Sanctuary is not an ordinary discussion form. We are a unique community of compassionate people who explore consciousness together and who are engaged in spiritual Work to transform ourselves and the world and to reconnect the human groupmind to the Earth Mother.
Some of this Work involves working with Plant Teachers, Animal Teachers, Mineral Teachers, the Ancestors, and other Elders; some of this Work is informed by other spiritual disciplines; some of this Work is unique to each individual and has no categorization. Some of us work shamanically with Plant Teachers, to re-awaken the intelligence of the heart, the organ of direct perception of Nature. However, partaking of entheogenic substances is not required for membership; the central focus of our community is “Entheology” (reconnecting to the Essence of Divinity within all of Life). We value the Gifts and Treasures that each member brings, and we work together to support each other on our various paths.
We strive to make our ad-free, private, and privately funded forum into a safe haven for authentic expression and exploration of the transformational process. We value in-depth sharing of feelings, insights and experience in a safe and sacred cyber-environment, so we are quite mindful that exchanges between members be respectful, compassionate and polite. This is not a place for mentally-focused critiques, competitive attitudes, sarcasm, flipness or personal criticism and judgments; nor is it the place to “convert” anyone or insist that they subscribe to particular points of view.
We welcome explorers at any experience level and look only for benevolent, relatively mature and open minds (and hearts) ~ and, above all, for respectful and compassionate attitudes. Those who feel guided to join our community are warmly welcomed, but in order to help create a safe sanctuary for deep Work, we have a screening process, and guidelines which are taken very seriously. Our concern is to encourage responsibility for the safety and security of the members, as well as to promote mature and sensitive discussion of sacred plants, animal and mineral allies, creativity and indigenous peoples. We welcome new perspectives, but we take great care in selecting those we feel would be comfortable with us and likely to become active, contributing members of our evolving community. We regard membership here as a privilege, not a right.
By registering, you agree to the following rules:
1. Members must be 18 years of age or older.
2. Authors, reporters, thesis students and the like are not specifically banned from joining the forum but are required to state clearly their intentions in the application letter for obvious ethical reasons. Unauthorized quoting of material from the Entheo-WorldEyes.org Forum is prohibited.
PLEASE NOTE that ALL materials (including ideas, photos, files, etc.) that have been published on this forum remain the intellectual property and copyright material of the author(s)/photographer(s), and may not be used or published elsewhere without the written consent of the owner(s) of the material.
3. Sarcasm, rudeness, outbursts of anger, arguments and personal attacks are not permitted. It is OK to disagree but not to "diss" ~ many viewpoints are included here. Failure to adhere to this guideline can result in dismissal from the forum.
4. There is absolutely no spamming allowed on the forum. Members' commercial websites may be promoted ONLY in the Trading Post and General Store forum. Any posts regarding illegal or quasi-legal items will be deleted and can be basis for dismissal from the forum. All transactions are to be conducted through PM (Private Messages), and are done at members own risk. Entheo-WorldEyes admin is not responsible for, nor will intervene in, any disputes.
Members' personal websites may be listed in their signature line. Commercial websites may be listed in their profile.
5. Only one account is allowed per person - sock puppets are forbidden, and may result in forfeiture of membership.
6. For your security, and that of the community, please do not share your login and/or password with anyone. If you are not the only one using your computer, please remember to log out when you leave the forums.
7. Please keep in mind that any time you admit to illegal and/or incriminating behavior, you put yourself and others at risk. Do not express intent to break the law here. Any discussion of illegal activity should be couched in hypothetical terms. Our forum is reserved for conversations regarding spirituality, and for developing a respectful relationship with various Plant Elders (as well as Mineral and Animal Allies and the Arts). If you are uncertain about the legality of a topic, please do your research first. Failure to "keep it clean" can result in dismissal from the forum.
8. WorldEyes does not encourage ANYONE to break the law, therefore, it is the duty of every applicant registering here to know the local laws in the country and state of your residence that pertain to partaking, buying, selling or trading of any known entheogen or plant substance.
9. For military personnel, regardless of their current residence, the Uniform Code of Military Justice strictly prohibits all known entheogens to its members either to ingest or to have in their possession. In respect and accordance with the articles of the UCMJ, Worldeyes has adopted a policy that prohibits membership to applicants that are currently in any branch of the military service. Worldeyes feels this policy will effectively prevent armed service personnel from possible incrimination and "intent" interpretations of said military laws.
When you register, you will be sent the following letter to answer. This letter helps us to recognize those who would fit in with this community, so admission is based on your response to this letter. Please read the letter before registering, and then follow your intuition about whether you should register or not. After you are admitted to the community, then it becomes your turn to determine if this community truly is the place for you. You will have ten days to get acquainted with WorldEyes. If and when you decide that you do want to be part of this community, please post an introduction. This lets us know that you have made the decision to become part of the WorldEyes community. If you have not made a post within ten days of admission, or if later you stop posting for many months without letting us know that you still want to continue with us, we will assume that you have decided that WorldEyes is not the place for you, and will close your membership. We wish you blessings on your path, whatever it may be.
The letter you will be sent to answer:
Hello! Thank you for registering with Entheo-Worldeyes. Those who feel guided to join our community are warmly welcomed, but in order to help create a safe sanctuary for deep Work, we ask registrants to answer the following questions, which help us to recognize those who would fit in with this community.
1. Please state the name of the forum member who has referred you ~ this is important, since member invitations are reviewed first, and are top priority.
2. Please tell us a little bit about who you are, including a few words about your spiritual or inner life, and why you are interested in joining us: - What is your spiritual path or life journey? - What are your spiritual "gifts" and "treasures"? - What (if any) shamanic and/or transformational training have you had? - What steps are you taking to harmonize your life with forces of Nature? - What are the most important values in your life? - What does "Entheology" mean to you?
3. Please tell us something about your history on other internet forums, entheogenic and otherwise: - Have you generally been a frequent contributor, an occasional contributor, a lurker? - Have you found your participation to be rewarding? - Are you generally considerate of other members of the community? - How do you respond when people disagree with you? - Have you made personal friendships through those forums? - Have you had personal problems with other members? - Were they resolved or do they continue?
4. Please tell us how you envision yourself in regard to your interaction with a community of differing opinions and/or world views. What do you feel you can offer this community? (Even if your main desire is just to learn from other entheogenic explorers, your feedback, comments and questions on others' explorations are valuable; we don't want members whose sole intention is to lurk. Extended inactivity may result in dismissal from the forum and deletion of your profile, unless you write to us directly, or post in the Parlor saying you'll be gone for an extended period of time.
