I read this book by Simon Buxton just recently in about 4 days because it kept blowing my mind so I kept reading. It is an account of the author's initiation/training on the Path of Pollen, the ancient order of beekepers that has kept its knowledge passed down orally for the last many thousands of years all over the world. Bees are foreal sacred and have infinite love and wisdom to share with us. They represent purity, integrity, and industry...and the products they produce, pollen, honey, and propolis are beyond are wildest dreams as to how nutritious and delicious they are. Think about it, a bee carries nectar from all kinds of flowers back to a hive and regurgitates it into ambrosia, nectar of the gods, life sustainer (a diet of bee pollen and water has been known to sustain life as well as giving divine wisdom to the dieter)...this may sound like a rant but do the research yourself...I have been using bee pollen for a few months now as a supplement and swear by it; energy, mental clarity, and actually thicker skin (perfect for skateboarders). Bees, man, bees.
"Truth, however, is no easy matter. It is complex, strange, and fluid. Open to question, a living thing. And yet, it is the place where we have to begin. And in the end it is all that remains...I have come to understand truth, specifically spiritual truth, can only be defined as that which one knows, without words, to be true. It is silent and requires no defense."
"Rarely do people ask death for advice regarding life, but whom better to ask?"
"I was knowingly human once again, back in the miraculous ilusion of stability we have learned to call reality."
"Because the bee is influenced most of all by cosmic forces, by communing with the bee, the entire cosmos can find its way into human beings, assisting them into stepping into who they truly are. Before they were told who they were meant to be by parents, schooling, and culture."
