Friends felt dying sweat-lodge man was 'astral travelling'
Penelope Debelle
June 6, 2007

AS A Melbourne man lay dying from heat-induced dehydration in a remote South Australian creek bed during a native American ritual known as a sweat lodge, his fellow campers believed he was astral travelling and banged drums to return him to earth.

An inquest on the death of Rowan Cooke, 37, of Glenroy, heard yesterday that he was camping with 10 others from Victoria on an isolated property in the Gammon Ranges, in South Australia's far north, undergoing an eight-day ritual of fasting, meditation and purification.

On November 3, 2004, he and another man, Adrian Asfar, then 22, were dragged unconscious from the sauna-like tent after a third occupant, Maureen Collier, called out in distress.

Counsel assisting the coroner, Amy Davis, told the South Australian Coroners Court that both men were breathing and were put in the coma position.

"It was considered by some of the campers that they may have been astral travelling or in a deep meditative state," Ms Davis said.

The campers attempted to revive them by banging drums, chanting, burying their feet in soil and massaging their hands, Ms Davis said.

The inquest into the disastrous end to the cleansing and purification ritual will focus on the lapse of six hours or more before the alarm was raised.

The inquest was told that during the sweat lodge ritual — a ceremonial sauna used by native Americans — three New Age devotees, including Mr Cooke, sat in an insulated tent.

Volcanic rocks, called "grandfathers" because they were seen to carry the knowledge of all time, were heated in a nearby fire and carried into the tent where water was poured on them to create steam. Water was thrown onto them, releasing large amounts of steam.

Ms Davis said there were conflicting views in the group as to what happened after the rocks were passed into the tent on the night of November 2.

She said Mr Asfar regained consciousness after 40 minutes but Mr Cooke did not. However, it was not until daybreak on November 3 that two of the campers drove to the Owieandana homestead on the Yankaninna Station property to raise the alarm.

Mr Cooke arrived at hospital barely alive and died at 11.32am.

A police report of the scene at the campsite found no alcohol or drugs. There were numerous articles associated with New Age practice including candles, drums, crystals, feathers, a telescope and wooden staffs with crystals attached.

Group leader David Jarvis, 43, a "New Age healer", told police that Mr Cooke was attempting to assume a higher level of consciousness by activating a peace pipe.

He said that after the ritual was completed, it was expected Mr Cooke would "take the activated pipe and step into a new role in his life". "There are shamanic powers and often they don't come back into the body for a while," he said.

Mr Jarvis told the court he estimated Mr Cooke was in the tent for 30 minutes. He said people outside noticed after five or 10 minutes that he had stopped talking, but believed he was undertaking the ritual in silence.

"Not long after, I noticed a particular energy coming out of the lodge, it was quite strong in nature," he told police. "I noted two people were having an out-of-body experience."

The inquest continues today.

The inquest into the disastrous end to the cleansing and purification ritual will focus on the lapse of six hours or more before the alarm was raised.

I like that moose...I wanna meet that moose

couple of months ago i tried some 30x salvia and i had the most grotesque vision ever. when i bought that I also bought another one that cost me twice as much and is apparently off the charts. i'm sort of intimidated to try it.

i'm not into supernatural stuff or anything, so when i try to describe that experience it's weird finding myself using words that makes it sound like i am. that said, it's like i saw a big tear in the tissue of reality, in front of me, then i was in a fractal dimension made of hairy pussies. yup. like wallogina.jpg but hairy and fractal, and all-emcompassing. "over all that" if such a thing is possible, there was a familiar shape, the mandelbrot beetle/buddha , that was jerking off stars that was falling all around. when i realized i couldn't change the channel i sarted to relax, roll with it, and it made it possible to shift my focus and appreciate the finer "fractality" of it.

o_O

indeed. it was a bit "rich".

amazing

Clemmons was charged in Washington state earlier this year with assaulting a police officer and raping a child, and investigators in the sex case said he was motivated by visions that he was Jesus Christ and that the world was on the verge of the apocalypse.

A psychological evaluation conducted in October found he was a risk to public safety, but not a bad enough risk to justify committing him, The News Tribune of Tacoma reported.

The confidential report acquired by the newspaper was ordered by a Pierce County Superior Court judge to determine whether Clemmons was competent to stand trial on the rape and assault charges. He was found competent and was released from jail after posting bail with the assistance of Jail Sucks Bail Bonds.

At the time of his arrest, he allegedly made "religiously-themed comments, told the officer President Obama and Lebron James are his brothers, Oprah (Winfrey) is his sister and referred to himself as 'the beast,'" according to the evaluation.

and that's how we learned anyone can have a vision quest: the spiritual, the atheist and even the criminally insane.
it worked for us, Maybe it can work for you too!

Jail Sucks Bail Bonds

salvia is some heavy shit.
i took it once & for a solid 20 minutes thought i was on safari in africa listening to the thundering of elephants & hearing miles davis play the most tropical/sexy shit i'd ever heard. it felt like hours, and i was not listening to miles davis at the moment.

oh god salvia

oh god stevia

prob have posted elsewhere but:

tried it in college in the middle of a house party (why beause im stpd), disappeared into a fractal fugue (the weird triangley black and grey ones i remember seeing when i was a kid and pressed my eye into my orbit with my knee....i used to think that this was something every kid had tried, but i'm beginning to think i'm wrong).

surfaced after what felt like 45 minutes. like, it actually felt like surfacing or waking up suddenly it's like one second everything was bananas and the next i'm acutely aware of the fact that i'm staring at a set of dressers and three people are staring at me. i thanked everyone for being so tolerant and dang were you here the whole time wow? and was told that i was only out of it for two minutes

totally harrowing, never again

wau, how is that fun.

i did the eye pressing thing as a kid but figured it was one of those things that could become permanent if i did it too long, like sticking your tongue out etc.

it's like i saw a big tear in the tissue of reality, in front of me, then i was in a fractal dimension made of ...

i did the eye pressing thing, but never salvia.

this looks weird too:

wau, how is that fun.

it's not!

i had a conversation with a face-tatted ex-druggie messenger guy (hi, jay) who had sampled most of yr recreational drugs and was totally aghast at the mention of salvia, it terrified him

i on the other hand had a friend who ordered some legally on the internet and was like dude try this, you need a ~cigar~ lighter isnt that wild??

i propose a study investigating eye-pressing in children and how it maps to established curves in child and adolescent psychological development and also if those kids later go on a few vision quests

i did some eye pressing as a kid but never went on any vision quests.

still do the eye pressing thing tbh

haha um me too

Me three! When I rub my eyes hard I get bright black and white checkerboard patterns all over, its hell cool.

you guys get fractals and checkerboards? my eye-pressing visions are kinda squiggly

I get things like this:

i did the eye pressing as a kid.

every day is a vision quest if you have eyes and appendages basically

guys maybe I will go ahead with this study after all

woah haven't thought about the eyepressing thing in years. it still works, too. awesome.

I did the eye pressing and then drew what I saw with crayons. Sadly pretty sure none of that stuff survived to my adulthood because I would totally hang in the liv rm.

there is a name for this and i cant remember it and it is driving me crazy

i must find some good secular texts on psychonautics before trying that other stronger extract that i got. i would like to optimize my chances to get something fun out of this so i thought a bit about that today - hallucination is friend of fiction- at first i thought it would be enough to write something like a précis made with, like, awesome ideas from the lovecraftian lore to be found in that recently revived lovecraft thread + ideas that i like from aestethic /secular meditation/introspection method. one idea bring another, i think it would be best if i put some hours into this. maybe i'll end up writing a short story about "the usage of salvia, biofeedback and systems theory concepts for a cooperation of modern science and lovecraftian lore".

ive thought about ordering some before it gets banned here. sounds fun

maybe all kids eye press? i remember doing it too.
i have been on an actual set-up-yr-directions, stay out in the middle of nowhere for 48-hrs, open self to the universe see what happens vision quest fyi
and a bunch of non-actual 'vision quests' involving mushrooms and time distortion and looking at trees

i know that even with all the 'no salvia no' talk i can't help but think Want to try
:/

well the salvia experience i posted about upthread was kind of fun.
the other time i tried it it was not fun. i felt like i was paralyzed in a junkyard/carnival where everything sounded harsh & clangy.

the one time i tried it i ended up getting bit. by my friend, who is, yknow, a human. never again.

holy shit @ "mom and dad take salvia 20x"

I want to do this but I am scared.

Pressing on eyes, I mean. Not salvia.

c'mon all the cool kids are pressing on their eyes do it do it
