Zoned Properties Inc. (ZDPY) Seeks to Bridge the Real Estate Shortage for the U.S. Cannabis Retail Operators

- Many Landlords across the United States currently face several obstacles in leasing commercial properties to cannabis-focused tenants, on the basis of ongoing federal restrictions that impact real estate factors such as insurance, financing, and permitting
- Zoned Properties has sought to bridge this supply gap, with a portfolio of investment properties seeking to address the needs of the regulated cannabis industry
- The company has recently announced plans to refocus its investment portfolio towards direct-to-consumer retail properties, simultaneously revealing their intentions to market one of their cultivation-oriented sites for sale
- Zoned Properties recently revealed that 3Q2023 revenues had risen by 17.2% YoY, whilst guiding for estimated full year rental revenues of $2.5 million over the course of 2024
In 2021, New York state officially legalized the usage of marijuana for recreational purposes; nevertheless, and nearly three years on from the landmark decision, cannabis supply for retail consumers remains painfully constrained. In April 2023, plans to build out a recreational cannabis dispensary in Harlem’s 125th street was thwarted by a lawsuit filed by a prominent Harlem business group, alleging that the planned dispensary would contribute to social issues in the neighborhood (https://cnw.fm/whPja).
Despite cannabis being legal in 38 of 50 states for medical use and 24 states for recreational use, cannabis linked businesses are still faced with significant obstacles when looking to secure commercial properties for the cultivation or sale of marijuana-based products. With cannabis still illegal under federal law, commercial landlords seeking to rent out a mortgaged property face the risk of being called on a loan if a property is used for ‘illegal activity’; similarly, landlords open to leasing to cannabis tenants could face constraints in the form of city-specific zoning rules (https://cnw.fm/jYWTl). It is this unique conundrum which Zoned Properties (OTCQB: ZDPY), a technology-driven property investment company focused on acquiring value-add real estate within the regulated cannabis industry in the United States, is seeking to address.
The United States’ cannabis industry is expected to benefit from a remarkable 13.93% CAGR from 2024 to 2028, resulting in an annual market size of $67.15 billion by the end of 2028. With a decade of national experience and a team of experts devoted to the emerging cannabis industry, Zoned Properties is seeking to capitalize on the industry’s burgeoning future by targeting commercial properties which have the potential to be acquired and rezoned or permitted for specific purposes, including the regulated and legalized cannabis industry. Separately and in addition to its core real estate development business, the company has sought to leverage upon their considerable commercial real estate expertise within their brokerage business in recent years; since 2021, Zoned Properties Brokerage has closed upwards of $80 million in commercial real estate deals nationally for clients.
Zoned Properties maintains a portfolio of six investment properties located across Arizona, Michigan and Illinois; with each of its leased properties occupied by commercial cannabis-linked businesses. The company currently enjoys a 100% occupancy rate with a weighted average lease term of over 10 years. In addition to maintaining four properties leased and repurposed as regulated cannabis retail dispensaries, the company leases two properties which are operated as regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facilities. Nonetheless, the company has recently sought to refocus its investment portfolio towards direct-to-consumer properties located in states boasting both, a regulated and legal domestic cannabis industry and robust underlying cannabis consumer demand; in doing so, Zoned Properties has announced that it now considers its cultivation sites as legacy properties, reserving the optionality to potentially sell or leverage these holdings to unlock equity to be deployed towards its core business.
Considering its reaffirmed commercial priorities, Zoned Properties recently revealed that the company has listed its cultivation property located in Chino Hills, Arizona for sale at a purchase price of $16 million. A valuable yet non-core asset within the company’s portfolio, the sale of the Chino Valley property could help further streamline Zoned Properties’ portfolio and help recalibrate its real estate offering towards more direct-to-consumer focused properties (https://cnw.fm/4Y6Sw).
“As part of our ongoing strategic review to enhance shareholder value, we are very pleased to announce our intention to sell our Chino Valley Property. The Chino Valley Property, which we now consider a non-core asset to our investment strategy, represents a significant capital reallocation opportunity for Zoned Properties. We expect that, if and when the Chino Valley Property is sold, the non-dilutive proceeds from the sale would be instrumental in supporting the company’s future real estate portfolio acquisition plans,” commented Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Marks Huge 2024 Milestone with FDA Clearance for its Planned U.S. Phase 1b Hypertension Clinical Trial

- Lexaria, a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, recently received FDA clearance for its HYPER-H23-1 clinical study
- John Docherty, President of Lexaria, has regarded this milestone as a demonstration of its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology’s overall viability, particularly in the potential treatment of hypertension
- With HYPER-H23-1, Lexaria looks to build on the success of its previous human clinical studies, whose results have been overwhelmingly positive
- This marks a considerable milestone even as the company looks to double down on GLP-1 studies for the 2024 calendar year
Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, just announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has given it the requisite clearance to proceed with its planned U.S. Phase 1b hypertension clinical trial. This follows the company’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application earlier in the year.
The HYPER-H23-1 clinical trial, entitled “A Phase 1b Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DehydraTECH-CBD in Subjects with Stage 1 or Stage 2 Hypertension,” will seek to explore the overall effectiveness of its patented DehydraTECH(TM)-processed CBD for the potential treatment of hypertension. The primary objective will be to evaluate the safety and tolerability in hypertensive patients, with secondary objectives including efficacy evaluation in reducing blood pressure and detailed pharmacokinetic testing (https://cnw.fm/CpOwI).
According to John Docherty, President of Lexaria, this clearance by the FDA demonstrates its technology’s overall potential, having met the FDA’s high level of regulatory scrutiny.
“This is a significant milestone achievement for Lexaria demonstrating, for the first time, that its DehydraTECH technology meets the FDA’s high level of regulatory scrutiny sufficient to formally commence U.S. registrational clinical testing towards possible future pharmaceutical commercialization,” noted Mr. Docherty.
Since 2018, Lexaria has conducted five human clinical studies for its DehydraTECH-CBD on 134 healthy, normal, and hypertensive volunteers. The results have been overwhelmingly positive, evidencing reductions in resting blood pressure over both acute and multi-week dosing regimens. The studies also produced zero serious adverse events, pointing to DehydraTECH’s potential to have pronounced clinical benefits relative to available anti-hypertensive therapeutics.
With HYPER-H23-1, Lexaria looks to build on the success of its previous studies, ultimately asserting the superiority of its technology, while also inching closer to tapping into the hypertension treatment market, which was valued at $31.76 billion in 2022, and is expected to reach $43.18 billion by 2030 (https://cnw.fm/kTDLS).
“We look forward to commencing this important clinical trial and building upon the wealth of early-stage clinical data we have gathered and presented to the FDA to date demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and novel mechanistic performance of DehydraTECH-CBD in hypertensive patients,” noted Mr. Docherty.
This is a huge milestone for Lexaria and its team, especially following the plans to commence with its diabetes and weight loss animal study, coupled with doubling down on its GLP-1 clinical studies for the 2024 calendar year. All these steps reflect the company’s commitment to creating shareholder value and further developing its DehydraTECH technology, which has the potential to be a leader in its space.

Ontario Chamber of Commerce calls on province to modernize cannabis sector

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce has called on the province to modernize the Ontario cannabis market as part of its 2024 provincial budget submission.
The Chamber’s annual budget submission makes numerous recommendations as part of Ontario’s budget consultation process on how to strengthen Ontario’s business community, including three key points that relate specifically to the legal cannabis sector.
The Chamber calls for changing provincial regulations to allow licensed producers and retailers to “have a direct relationship” to pursue lost tax revenue from underground markets by creating tougher penalties for noncompliance, coupled with intensified audits, and calling on the Ontario Cannabis Retail Store to provide quarterly updates on its progress around the 16 recommendations in the Auditor General’s value-for-money audit report released in December 2021.
Those 16 recommendations include a call for a more structured, consistent and transparent approach to its product listing calls and product listing selections, improving transparency about the product delisting process, improving customer service, and numerous calls for greater oversight of its distribution partner Domain Logistics.
A cyberattack in 2022 on the parent company of Ontario Cannabis Store’s (OCS’) third-party operated distribution centre, Domain Logistics, briefly crippled the cannabis distribution system in Ontario.
The Auditor General’s 2023 report revisited those 16 recommendations, noting that 79% had been fulfilled and 13% were in the process of being fulfilled. Only 3% showed little progress, while 5% were no longer relevant.
The two recommendations that showed little to no progress were a call to explore tools such as Ontario’s Digital Identity Program to strengthen controls over online ordering of cannabis by individuals under the age of 19. The report also says the OCRC has not required Domain Logistics to incorporate more extended data-retention requirements into all subcontractor agreements.
However, the OCRC informed the Auditor General that its Privacy and Freedom of Information team is planning to perform a privacy impact assessment to determine appropriate data-retention requirements and plans to implement these recommendations by March 2024.

Sell Outs – Apples & Power of Spirit
Sell Outs – Apples & Power of Spirit
By Candace Hill
Who are they?
Why do they do what they do?
These are questions we must ask ourselves!
There is a saying, “how the oppressed become the oppressors” and we see this today with certain First Nation or Metis leaders who pose as respected ones in the eyes of the people but is all a front because the truth is they are aligned with the government and hide behind Freemasonry and Zionism and are what I call the “sell outs – apples”.
There are various reasons a person becomes a sell-out, a rat, a goon, a deceiver such as a sociopath born this way (no conscience, liars, always out to get something), money (being paid off), blackmailed, ego, fame, greed or being groomed from a young age.
One overlooked reason of “grooming” I discovered was found within the walls of the nefarious State of Canada and Church sponsored residential schools. It seems they masterminded using the more intelligent or perhaps those children from hereditary lineages to be the “enforcers” and in turn they likely received better treatment, food and education. Where it was once the priests and nuns who administered the punishment it was now these children. This information was shared to me from a survivor of the Kamloops Residential School.
Then there is SRA “satanic ritual abuse” not spoken amongst First Nations but experienced by some of the children in these schools. Where they were traumatized, abused, brainwashed and programmed through various MKultra mind control programming. And some of the children who were spiritually gifted were taught to use these gifts in a negative way to harm others again what I witnessed myself with adult sell outs – apples who are mind controlled.
Then after leaving the schools some went onto to receive a higher education becoming the lawyers, judges, senators, lieutenant governors, business men, ministers and most must become Freemasons or Zionists. Others were hired after leaving the schools by the church to be mercenaries against their own people again shared with me by a First Nations man whose father was in residential school and become a mercenary for the church.
These sell outs – apples are very clever at hiding who they really are I call them wearing two faces one for the public and one for their masters or handlers which they all have. I believe many do not even realize they are controlled.
Little did I realize I was going to come face to face and live with some of these above sell outs – apples? Some were very dangerous as I later learned but I NEVER had fear only the desire for Truth and Solutions.
I think it’s time now to share what I believe prepared me and gave me the courage to make the two journeys across the country.
I knew this time was coming I saw the writing on the wall from as far back as the year 2000 with free trade deals-globalization, groups being hijacked, censorship and some activists being taken out by I believe government paid mercenaries.
Now my background as an international health activist and researcher gave me an edge to see people’s real intentions as I interfaced with many of such sell – outs (non indigenous) who were lawyers, scientist, lobbyists.
Most importantly was the teachings and guidance from a few of my First Nation elders who were warriors and medicine people.
And of course my emotionally intelligent philosopher father who taught me to think, instilled original thought and to question and use my common sense to make decisions. He was my best mentor, teacher and rock who still helps me from the spirit world as do my family and elders. I must share with the readers I am a “spirit talker”
Day number two after Covid was announced I began a mission seeking solutions to stop this impending agenda.
I noticed this anticipation within myself but also a groundedness I had acquired from the previous nine months in my grieving “ceremony” of my husband passing and my daily praying to my new buffalo helper the previous year.
I found I only needed maybe five hours of sleep a night.
Interestingly I had this familiar tremendous energy and I recall saying to myself – where did I feel this before? It dawned on me it was 36 years before when I had my spiritual awakening.
I strongly believe I come from a lineage of warriors, medicine people and I believe Clan Mothers. I am an “Ogichidaa Kwe” the name of a female warrior in the language of my Anishnabe ancestors. This is a man or woman who stands for the people and is not afraid to die as death is not the enemy it’s an illusion. I like many others are here to help and serve the people.
I know myself and have high morals and values. Because of this I know how I will respond in any situation. I am guided by the Great Spirit who is the only one I trust who knows how I walk. I do not worry or fret over what others think. And am mindful of “walking my talk” like the skunk relatives who are one of my helpers.
I feel my spiritual preparation began when I did my first fast (vision quest) up on Dog Mountain on the Chewathal reserve of the Sto-Lo Nation (River People) territory near Hope BC in the spring of 1998.
Along with my various elder’s teachings and the strangers I call walk-ins who came into my life to teach me specific things and doctor me I now understand was to prepare and strengthen me. Plus I must add the many ceremonies I attended over the years from sweats lodges to Sundance’s, Yuwipi ceremonies, Pipe ceremonies, Medicine Wheel gatherings and more.
And a lived experience of understanding how good and bad energy works and how to protect myself spiritually. Also becoming aware of the power of the bird relatives who took “hits” for me from those trying to send bad medicine at me I have buried many bird relatives.
Mysteriously over many years two medicines – a mineral and a plant relative had been given to me through ceremony in France and fasting. One was to protect a medicine person and the other is to protect a warrior. I was unaware until I started travelling across our sacred lands we call Turtle Island that I fully understood that they were given to me for this time and protection.
I want to share how powerful and important other people’s prayers are for our protection too. It’s like a shield around you!
Interesting to note my protection was not like the “protection” our Prime Minister receives with many secret service men, RCMP and guns. That’s an interesting phenomenon what do these politician’s need protection from?
Are they full of FEAR as they know what they are doing is deceitful, wrong, secretive and non-transparent. And that they are knowingly hurting and murdering people when they get in the way or try to whistle blow. I know how sinister these people are from the millions of First Nations whose lives have been taken since colonization and from my many health activist colleagues whose lives were taken by such people.
Interesting the average person especially women cannot fathom these stories and finds them too unbelievable and would rather go into denial or fear. That’s our weakness as people in this country. Many have been conditioned to be NICE don’t cause a fuss be polite which coincidently is exactly what these sick sociopathic human beings want so they can control, abuse, and intimidate the population.
To end this story I would like to switch gears to a positive spiritual experience that happened when I was invited to a “Winter Dancing” ceremony in February of 2020. I had been invited before but was never able to attend. But I realize we are on “spirit” time and events happen when they are supposed to.
I was invited by the wife of the Chief of the community for the last night of the ceremony which begins in November and stops when the frogs come out of hibernation which is usually February. It was held in the oldest smokehouse on the Chehalis reserve in the Sto-Lo Nation territory.
I prepared all day by being in prayer and I recall arriving at night in the pitch black and when I stepped out the car all I could hear was the sound of the drums it was very powerful.
I found myself amongst the very spiritual black faces, the mask dancers and powerful drummers. My spirit was so happy it even tried to leave my body to join the dancing.
I recall after attending that ancient ceremony I felt I had a “protective” covering put over me by the spirits. Little did I realize a few weeks later “Covid” the false flag would begin.
I must let the readers know I come with an open heart and trust until proven otherwise which I was to learn numerous times in the coming two years by the sell outs – apples who presented themselves on my path.
In conclusion in my next story I will share who those people were and what I experienced. These trials and tribulations help strengthen us as human beings as warriors.

The Great Setup
The Premeditation And Audacity Is Beyond Belief
By Sherry Swiney
Everyone on Earth needs to know this. If you are new to this, then put your hard hat on. You’re in for a wild ride… If you don’t like wild rides, pull up your adult pants and watch anyway. Whether we like it or not, the evidence shows that a terrible crime has been committed against us in plain sight. The audacity is not only beyond belief – it’s brilliant! They did not do this long-term wide-range program alone; obviously they had help from elsewhere. Humans are not naturally that deviant.
In Part 2 Dr. Martin talks about the Bretton Woods Agreements Act of 1945, where these guys wrote laws for themselves – no authority – just laws that exempted themselves of any crime they might do any time, anywhere. As audacious as this is, Dr. Martin says – “Hold on. If they can do this, why can we do this?” Wait until you hear the rest…
As Dr. Martin says, and as I have said for a long time, these guys have no power over you. The only power they have is what we give to them. It’s so great to hear him say this in part 2. Makes me realize I am not alone in this idea.
The Great Setup With Dr. David Martin – Part 1 – The Premeditation And Audacity Is Beyond Belief (34:30)

Dr. David Martin states several times in this interview, that the action of these criminals are beyond belief. Therefore it is hard for truth-seeking people to comprehend the scale and audacity of how premeditated and well executed this pandemic really was, once they discover the truth.
This is truly a riveting and eye-opening documentary, as “The Great Setup” delves into the unsettling world of global genocide. Where one man, Dr. David Martin, courageously exposes a hidden web of sinister plans through an unexpected lens – patents.
This two – part docuseries serves as a wake-up call, urging audiences to reevaluate the consequences of blindly accepting what they’ve been told without questioning the implications. Sit back as Dr. David Martin unravels the tightly woven fabric of a clandestine agenda that transcends borders.

Gain of Fauci: This might be the most eye-opening video clip that you see this year. The COVID shots pushed on billions of people could only be justified if there were no treatment options.
So, what did they do? According to Dr. David Martin, they let people die and suppressed treatments to make way for an experimental gene therapy bioweapon. But no one would voluntarily agree to take such a thing, thus they called it a “vaccine.”
The audacity of the crime was shocking: The CDC, before it became the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was the US Malaria Suppression Program in Atlanta, Georgia, which did what? It advocated for the distribution of hydroxychloroquine.

The Good Weed Board, part six
SHOWCASING CANADA’S BEST DRIED FLOWER PRODUCTS
Welcome to the Good Weed Board on StratCann—part six! This time around, we have a direct delivery takeover featuring Magi Cannabis and Up in Smoke.
Profiled in a previous article, Magi Cannabis is a family-run micro-cultivator on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia. Up In Smoke is an independent cannabis retailer with a storefront on W. Broadway in Vancouver.
These two small businesses are collaborating to take advantage of the direct delivery program in British Columbia, which enables licensed producers from within the province to drop off products at the doorstep of their retail partners rather than distributing them through the LDB warehouse.
For many of us in Canada, it seems as though the centralized provincial distribution of cannabis was designed for consortiums to move mid-grade products en masse across the country. Conversely, direct delivery programs provide an opportunity to foster small businesses and encourage local trade. Independent retailers and local producers can choose to carve out an identity together by building strong brand partnerships and promoting limited drops that showcase unique craft products from their region.
Local trade is crucial for craft cannabis products. Maybe it’s true that 90% of the regulated market doesn’t prioritize craft quality, but for the 10% that do, local trade is vital. Growing, harvesting, and curing good weed is just the beginning. Keeping it stable for long enough to reach consumers is the ultimate challenge.

Not that direct delivery in British Columbia is perfect. The LDB still levies a 15% proprietary fee on products sold within the program, the same 15% they charge producers to sell through their central distribution system. Eliminating that fee would boost the incentive for stakeholders to participate and lower the costs of local products.
Despite the program’s flaws, Magi Cannabis dropped six different kinds of small batch artisanal flower for delivery to BC retailers in November 2023: an assortment of 7-gram and 14-gram cases of hand-trimmed whole flower, along with 20-gram cases of machined smalls. I visited Up In Smoke to grab a selection of each. After two separate purchases due to the prohibitive 30-gram possession limit, I was on my way to sample some fresh craft product.
The first thing worth noting is that some overlapping characteristics were noticeable across the products. This is a factor I’ve noted before when sampling more than one offering from the same producer. Could this phenomenon be explained by the influence of terroir, even coming from an indoor growing environment? Maybe I will pursue the idea in a future piece.
Four of the Magi offerings I graded qualified for the Good Weed Board, including a new high score. Here are the Part Six ratings.
The first entry is Salty Pink by Magi Cannabis. Like all Magi products, the Salty Pink is grown in virgin coir and preserved with a two-week, whole-plant cold cure. Most of the Magi flowers are then hand-trimmed dry to preserve flavorants and trichomes. The finished product has been fully tested and is non-irradiated.
The unit I sampled was a 7-gram, packaged on October 20 and opened on November 24, 2023. The 7-gram and 14-gram options are all packaged in the same size bag. There is probably too much open air inside the 7-gram bags, as evidenced by the essence of this Salty Pink that was faded at first, despite being relatively fresh.

This cut was unique compared to most of the other Island-region Pink Kush cuts I’ve had the pleasure of trying. The profile was dominated by gassy-fuel, with an evergreen musk aroma complimented by a sweet and creamy vanilla flavour. If the product had been fresher, it would’ve scored better. OG Rating = 82/100.
The second entry for Part Six is Hippie Headbanger by Magi Cannabis. This unit was also a 7-gram but had better moisture content. The lineage advertised on Magi’s portal is Sour Diesel crossed with Biker Kush. It is definitely a Sour Diesel dominant headband cut.
Imagine sticky buds with a slightly foxtailing shape, and a mix of long, milky and amber pistils. I observed a citrus fuel aroma with an earthy, musk and herb finish. The flavour was a powerful combination of lime and diesel, brandishing a supreme burn with the kind of potency that makes me sweat. OG Rating = 85/100.
The third entry is a record-breaker! Saltspring Love Haze by Magi Cannabis. This is a Super Lemon Haze crossed with Blueberry Lambsbreath cut. It was actually the second batch of Love Haze that I sampled, and it was fresher and better than the first. The best two bags of weed I ever smoked were from a guy in Santa Cruz back in 2015. One of them he called Blue Dream. This Love Haze reminded me of that flower.
The buds were large and frosty, light green, with lots of red/orange hairs. A creamy, almost cheese-like aroma wafted out of the bag, complemented by traces of lemon rinds. I admire the profile description on the package: tropical fruit, crème filled pastry, springtime forests. Burning the weed revealed a delightful buttered popcorn and incense aroma with a caramel, berry, bubblegum aftertaste. Once again a supreme inhale, with sativa-leaning potency. OG Rating = 87/100.
The final entry for Part Six is Timmy’s OG Shark by Magi Cannabis. I must say, straight off the bat, this is my favourite kind of weed! To me the, Timmy’s OG Shark has classic OG Kush traits, which is the best all-around Kush when done right.
Renowned for sticky, small, but compact, light green buds that are layered in trichomes. This version reminded me of the OG Shark I used to grab from Nature’s Botanicals back in the west coast dispensary days. I sampled a 14-gram bag from Magi. The profile description is spot-on: skunk, musk, and tobacco leaf. The description revealed to me something about the fuel spectrum that I’ve been seeking to discover. More on this in a future piece. OG Rating = 86/100.
That’s all for Part Six. My next column will showcase four more products from the Good Weed Board. Stay tuned to find out if any of them break the new record score of 87. Happy blazing!
Marty Wig is the cofounder of Overgrown Gardens, and creator of the OG Rating Guide. He has been grading cannabis since 2003.

The Eternal Now
The Eternal Now
by Julian Websdale
There is only really the Eternal Now and that Now exists in the beginning and also in the end of the standing wave that we call physical existence and evolution, which means that time is cyclical. The Now is the ‘alpha-omega’ of the cycle – as symbolized by the point where the symbolic Ouroboros snake is biting and swallowing its own tail. However, that Now is also the ‘zero nodes’ in the standing wave, and in all standing waves.
A ‘standing wave’ is a wave of energy that has become trapped between two points: when the travelling wave hits a point where it can go no further, it turns back on itself, becoming a two-way wave of energy-information.
This means that if the Now exists in any and all cycles and standing waves from the macrocosm to the microcosm, then it also means that the Now can be ‘accessed’ at any time along the path of evolution and this means at every instant during the cycles of our own lifetime or timeline.
How does one do this? Well that is what the shaman is attempting to do through sustaining conscious awareness in the hypnagogic trance state (the transition from the waking state into sleep), which can ultimately lead him to reach the point of enlightenment. Within the Now is all the information we need and it is also within us, which is why the shaman goes inside himself.
The Now is simply found within the ‘transliminal phase point’ of each and every cycle, ‘where’ and ‘when’ the positive crosses into the negative, and vice-versa, as in travelling waves, and also the nodes in standing waves. This also means that it surely exists within our own consciousness, which is also cycling – oscillating many times a second – and therefore the Now is really the moments in the cycle ‘where’ and ‘when’ we become unconscious.
The shaman attempts to become ‘conscious of the subconscious’ and in doing so he experiences and becomes the Now – like Jesus, who said that he was the ‘Alpha and Omega’. Of course this is a rebirth, and it is through this kind of rebirth in the Now, and during his lifetime, that the shaman then begins to understand the cyclical process, and how the life-death cycle is really a larger version of the waking-sleeping cycle. By accessing the unconscious in the waking-sleeping cycle via hypnagogia, one also accesses the unconscious knowledge of the life-death process.
As in the waking-sleeping cycle one is often unconscious at the point of death, and if so, then the cycle will repeat, with one having no knowledge of any previous lives, or indeed that one is creating one’s reality and is trapped in the cycles one is actually creating.
However, becoming conscious at the point of death, as one would in the hypnagogic state in the waking-sleeping cycle, one becomes aware, and with full knowledge of one’s condition, and so one becomes an Enlightened Master: sentient, superconscious. Everything collapses into the Now and one can choose either to exit the cycle, or to re-enter it – but with full knowledge of one’s condition, allowing one to create consciously and be able to awaken others.
It is interesting that the Mexican Nagals are called the ‘Now Shamans’, which also remind us of the ‘Present Moment’ associated with the ancient Egyptian god Aker, who like the Roman Janus, and also Baphomet, looks to the past and to the future.
Moreover it could be said that everything we are and experience Now – meaning our very existence in material reality – is being held in balance between these two waves – much as the electron is continually appearing at these wave centres and is held for a moment in time. Of course this phenomenon at the subatomic level, of millions and millions of wave centres, appears as built-up static objects at our level of perception and experience, So again, it could be said that even our very physical existence is at the ‘midpoint’ – but because we rely mostly on our left brain perceptions, which are related to the flow of energy-information moving from past to future, we are only having half the facts.
It should be stated, though, that the information in the future and the ‘goal’ of evolution itself, is not static but can be altered and changed, and that all the possibilities are given to us in that ‘return wave’; we make our choices subliminally based on our internal dialogue, which is why the patterns we experience will tend to repeat and stay the same. Evolution is also a cyclical process of which we are subconscious (female and related right-brain) as well as a linear one, of which we are conscious (male and related left-brain).
It can be seen then that the phenomenon of physical reality – its actual creation at every point in its fabric, and so its very existence – depends on the friction between Yes and No, the two-way flow of energy information we find in the standing wave, and that it manifests and exists in that friction.
