Yes there have been many ways to approach the divine union. Eating the flesh of God was a term attributed to the ingestion of certain fungi and light bearing plants. Mushrooms have been called the "Flesh of the Gods" from many diverse cultures and these fungi have been used to access the astral.
I do not recommend the use of plants or fungi in these areas.
They are not needed for the activation of Kundalini and serve as temptations for those who are impatient and do not wish to commit to an internal practice of conditioning. Shamanic cultures have and do use these methods but they also have internal conditionings which they use in order to traverse into these areas and return safely and soundly without damage to the mind and other bodies of expression.
I have personally had the experience of helping to put back together via Kundalini the mind and psyche of individuals who have used these entheogens for the use of Kundalini exploration or even mere spiritual exploration.
Their mind and psyche have been blown apart by the experience.
It is a very harsh experience for them and can last for many years. This is another way of "Storming the Gates of Heaven"
Doesn't happen that way for everyone though. When it does occur life takes a very different road.
Green Man and the other applications of belief system such as Pan and the deities of European Shamanism are a mixture of many influences to be sure. Not all of them used entheogens to reach for God but some of them did. It was a very different time. Casualties were not typically documented so we do not know how many people went insane or were killed due to the ingestion of these substances.
In the "now" of our times we can reach for these areas and some will still use the drugs and entheogens to do so. There are still casualties. But at least there are some venues of reaching forward into these areas without addiction or succumbing to experiences that are so strong as to wring the sanity from our minds.
Here we can have our feet in both worlds. We can develop communication for guidance and condition the human system towards realization of all the dimensional expressions. Kundalini can come and be nurtured and be surrendered to without fear of going crazy or losing the grounding of contemporary life.
We still need to feed the kids and drive the car and go to work. We are not (typically) the hunter gathering tribal expressions of the past in our contemporary society and our rules are a bit different. So we can approach heaven from a more disciplined and devotional interaction. An approach based in love and the understandings of the Kundalini.
Kundalini is the invitation into the heavenly fields.
And yet even the invitation must be approached with the acquired ability to be able to read its meanings and understand and feel its offerings.
This takes time and cogent experience of being a consciousness with the awakened Kundalini. Learning to surrender and adjust the ego expressions. Learning to cope with uncontrolled internal and external changes. Learning to release and balance the desire of moving too quickly. Patience and diligence and discipline and practice. These will take you farther and in safety to any region of creation one wishes to experience.
We have everything we need behind our eyes and behind our hearts. We are born to walk in this and other worlds naturally with only our five bodies of expression. If we can nurture our path and change our interactive experience using society as a learning platform we can develop the needed strengths and wisdoms to travel these areas of opportunity. Without having to start all over again due to damage and injury from impatience.
Let us make this attempt. Let us learn to approach the Kundalini from our attitudes and behavior modifications. From our practices and our devotions to be "At One" with God and creation. We have what we need with this the body of expressions and the life force that fuels these expressions. We are that which we wish to become. In this "becoming" is the journey. - blessings - chrism
