Background
Zephyranthes rosea is a species of rain lily that is native to Peru and Columbia. It is known under several common names, including Cuban zephyr lily, rosy rain lily, rose fairy lily, rose zephyr lily and pink rain lily. Zephyrus was the Greek god of the west wind that brought the spring rains that awakened nature. The flower is so named because they produce short-lived flowers only after seasonal heavy rains or storms; a trait that is common to all rain lilies. This species is widely cultivated as an ornamental flower. Zephyranthes rosea is planted in warmer regions around the world and is reportedly naturalized in Florida, India, the West Indes, many of the islands of the Pacific and Indian oceans. They are common in recently disturbed land and grassy areas that receive periodic rainfall. There are various toxic alkaloids contained in the bulbs that can cause vomiting, convulsions and death.
They are small, perennial plants that reach a height of 15-20 cm. They bear five to six narrow and flattened dark green linear leaves from a spherical tunicate bulb. The single funnel-shaped flowers are borne erect or slightly inclined on scapes around 10-15 cm. The spathes are around 2-2.8 cm long and slightly divided only at the tip. The fragrant six petaled flowers are around 2.5 cm in diameter and 3-3.5 cm. in length. The perianth is bright pink with a green central perianth tube that is less than 5 mm long. The six stamens are of different lengths, one of 11 mm, one of 16 mm and four between 12-13 mm. They are shorter than the style and inserted at the mouth of the perianth. The anthers are 3-6 mm long. The flowers develop into capsules that are divided deeply into three lobes. The seeds are shiny black and flattened.

3-633.56.05 Zephyranthes rosea proving
Proving: trituration proving, Bocas de Toro, 24-2-2016.
The Proving is written as it unfolded from C1 through C3
Master Prover: Jan Scholten.
Pharmacist: Robert Muntz.
Supervisor: Lori Francisco.
C1
Prover 1: I’ve never done the first one; that’s cool.
Prover 1: Rowdy group of provers. A lot of aroma from this plant.
Prover 2: Yeah, I could smell it right away; very herby.
Prover 1: Grassy.
Prover 3: Fresh cut grass. Feel anxiety in the center of chest, in sternum above xyphoid process, feels tight, like a bit of stage fright in a way, that’s what it is. I was thinking about R, I feel that R is a very supportive person, makes people feel included, I like that, to feel included.
Prover 2: As I’m breathing in, the air is coming in thru the nostril into cheekbones deep, straight to the sinus at the top of my throat, these passages (points to cheekbone area) and brings my head back, a little heavy.
Prover 3: If you let go of your muscle tone, it feels like my head could fall over. Stuffy right away, but sinuses are starting to clear.
Prover 1: I just killed a bug, very Zen of me.
Prover 3: You didn’t put it in there did you? (referring to putting bug into trituration). People have speculated that cock roach energy is in chocolate, a lot of energy came out in the proving.
Prover 1: Usual post nasal drip at the back of the throat, it feels acidic, burning.
Prover 3: Burning, burning, burning, burning ring of fire.
Prover 1: No, not that much.
Prover 2: Eyes are feeling very bright, open, sparkly, like someone would say your eyes are looking very bright and smiley, almost that stereotypical sprite look.
Prover 3: Bright and sprite. She feels something and then I feel it right away (referring to prover 2).
Prover 1: Sympathetic vibrations.
Prover 3: Empathy.
Prover 2: What was your code?
Prover 1: 6711.
Prover 3: Don’t write that down.
Prover 1: Done. I use that at work too.
Prover 2: I don’t know; I’ll say, what is that code again?
Prover 3: Feel kind of full around the spleen area, left side.
Prover 1: Is that where your spleen is? I had mine installed on the other side to just be different.
Prover 3: You can tell you’re a mechanic.
Prover 1: You can install organs.
Prover 2: We can rebuild you.
Prover 3: Faster, better.
Prover 1: You don’t need to go to the hospital, come over here, you’ll be allright.
Prover 3: What kind of tools do that.
Prover 1: We have tools to extract teeth.
Prover 2: A very light energy.
Prover 1: Very beautiful color a little lighter than celadon green now, can see a little bit of the purple from the petals.
Prover 2: Yeah, that’s a really nice color, a very pleasing color.
Prover 3: Maybe plants in general really give you a color vibe, it comes up quite a bit.
Prover 2: Yesterday was purple.
Prover 3: The day before was pink and purple and that really came through. I’m listening to all the birds and taking in the environment. I feel attuned to an inner connectivity, different social dynamic going on amongst the animals and birds.
Prover 2: I’m identifying with it too, that’s their own little world and I’m feeling connected to it in very winged way, sprite like, fluttering, definitely wings.
Prover 1: We were watching hummingbirds on our porch fluttering.
Prover 2: Those hummingbirds are amazing.
Prover 3: They’re a little scrappy too. It’s interesting being on the outside looking in, that way you don’t have to be involved in any arguments.
Prover 1: Do you like to avoid arguments?
Prover 3: Not necessarily, it depends on the degree of futility. If I’m not winning, I try to walk away.
Prover 1: I like political arguments where you rail against each other.
Prover 3: Both my father and brother are right winged. I tried to take a left stance with them, but their troops were bigger than mine, they had more weaponry.
Prover 1: Strong, acrid taste in the back of the throat, pretty intense.
Prover 3: If you’re going to get in a fight over an opinion match you have to know your stuff.
Prover 2: Don’t pull it out of your butt.
Prover 3: Use citations. Citations for the nation.
Prover 2: Feeling of breathing in keeps coming back a little stronger each time, Peter Panish, the feeling like if I wanted to I could fly. If you believe it you can do it.
Prover 3: Started to feel like I was a little powerless. I’m the younger brother. He’s five years older than me. He’s kind of a mainstream kind of guy, makes lots of money, has a nice Lamborghini in his garage. I don’t like to argue with him. At Christmas we were talking; he was talking about the Alberta economy and he said we just need a few more pipelines. I didn’t want to go there. I just said yeah; I suppose we do.
Prover 1: Is he in the oil industry?
Prover 3: Yes, sort of. He runs a company that distributes control systems. He was talking about it as in get the oil out there, keep the money coming. I asked him if he was able to diversify. He has a 51% share in his company, his employees own the rest. There’s a lot of autonomy, but I don’t think he’s going to get environmentally conscious any time soon.
Prover 1: So, he sees the money here.
Prover 3: Yeah, how he can exploit it.
Prover 2: There’s the other side of it. Getting a performance anxiety feeling in the pit of the stomach, fluttery, same anxiety if having to do something in front of a large group, people are watching your performance.
Prover 1: Very few of these flowers, very unusual flower then?
Facilitator: Not a field of hundreds.
Prover 1: (Looking at flower); This area on the stem, is it damaged from holding it?
Prover 3: You’re damaging it.
Prover 1: Looks like there’s a dark spot there. It is also weaker there.
Prover 3: Maybe there’s a little ganging up energy there.
Prover 2: There’s a bantery, teasy kind of thing.
Prover 3: Could feel not so happy for the recipient at times, whether or not they feel included. They feel susceptible to the threat.
Prover 1: You feel threatened?
Prover 3: No, no, maybe they don’t mean it. It’s part of their being included, they can join the gang. There’s a dynamic between the person that feels excluded and doesn’t have the power to stand up to the banter or the power to stand up to more than one person having the same opinion. The group is all coming from the same place and the one left out has a different opinion.
Prover 2: The power or the confidence?
Prover 3: It’s similar, they don’t have the power because they don’t have the weaponry.
Prover 2: The arsenal.
Prover 1: It goes back to your father and brother.
Prover 3: That situation is important. I had a political discussion and I felt unarmed, needed more knowledge to back my opinion. Felt kind of excluded.
Prover 2: That doesn’t resonate with me. I feel I want to be in the garden, in with the plants and be a part of that. There’s a whole world out there of all the plants.
Facilitator: Why do you feel that?
Prover 2: I feel a connectedness to the nature part of that and being able to be among it.
Prover 3: See, I don’t like that you’re disagreeing with me. They can have their opinion, they can do their thing.
Prover 1: The stamen looks like the filaments of a light bulb.
Prover 2: The old light bulbs?
Prover 3: He’s been mechanizing living things. Talking about organs before. If you chop you’re finger off, you can just put it back on. He has the tools to rebuild you.
Prover 1: Yeah, it’s get back to work. I’m very impatient with the dentist in particular. I had chipped a molar. I went for a cleaning and thought they would just take the sharp edge off. I asked him, can you just grind this off? No, you’ll have to make another appointment for that. I was very annoyed. I went back to work and ground it down with a little detail grinder at work. It’s not rocket science. I started with sand paper and went back to the grinder. I was concerned about the grinder getting onto my tongue, but it worked beautifully.
Prover 3: If you want it done right or quick you have to do it yourself.
Prover 1: I was annoyed to no end. I liked the old days. Now they like to bring you back for 20 seconds so they can charge you again and have you take time out of your day. That’s reflected in the way we do business too. I’ll say yeah, sure we can do that. That’s why we’re a successful business. I don’t want those bird droppings in here. (referring to the trituration bowl). I want it orderly. I want to keep this out of here.
Facilitator: Contaminated?
Prover 2: That started right away when the bug landed on your arm.
Prover 3: Things get into things, contaminated. Like we want to get into the jungle and contaminate them.
Prover 1: Did you read that thing from the Indian chief, Seattle? It’s pretty fascinating. He talks about how sensitive we are (white man) to those kinds of things.
Prover 2: Yeah, we want to put a monetary value on something that isn’t a monetary value kind of thing.
Prover 1: It’s about the earth being our mother and the sky our brother and you wouldn’t sell your mother and brother so you need to treat them with respect. I realized they were doing business as usual and not considerate of my time (referring to the situation at the dentist). It was the discussion we had at work before we left. Always customer first, it’s about them always. It’s not about your ego getting in the way. The thing that comes up when that ego comes up; it’s dealing with conflict that you’ve created. It’s putting a person in that situation instead of holding them to what they need. Your focus is strictly taking care of them.
Prover 2: Go back to the ego vs. confidence. Are you letting your ego lead? When you’re confident you can see the needs of others first. When you let your ego drive you, it’s all about you.
Prover 3: So, what about the person who isn’t confident and can’t make boundaries and the customer takes advantage of their nature.
Prover 1: Then you need a new job. It’s my job as an owner to help them get to a point where they can get there (referring to his employees).
Prover 3: What if someone is disrespecting you?
Prover 1: If I’m performing a job, I would tell a customer they’re being disrespectful and that we’re done here.
Prover 3: So, you do have a boundary?
Prover 1: If you reach a situation where nobody gives an inch and it gets ugly, that’s the boundary, you hit the wall.
Prover 3: That’s a different topic than putting the customer first.
Prover 1: It’s actually putting them first because you realized your interaction with them isn’t going to be successful for either. It’s not good for anybody.
Prover 3: Boundary comes from win, win to lose, lose.
Prover 2: The boundary comes up when you believe in yourself to be confident enough to keep that boundary up.
Prover 1: Having integrity and acting with integrity and honesty, being forthright, leads to having more confidence in yourself. Then you’re not covering for all that stuff that people do, boasting, lying, exaggerating, saying things like I can complete a project at a certain time when they know they can’t, because they feel like they have to. But if they’re honest with themselves, they know they really can’t.
Instead of saying there’s no way I can meet that deadline, and this is why it’s going to take this long, because this is how I want the project to turn out.
Prover 2: Looking at your own strengths and weaknesses, you can be able to voice. My strength is, I want to do this to the best of my ability and the weakness being it will take more time. It may not be a weakness. I want it to be the best it can be, up to your expectations. I might not be able to do it to your time expectations, but I can do it how I want it done.
Prover 3: That sounds like another boundary for putting customer’s needs first.
Prover 1: I call it a product. People come to my business because their car isn’t running right. The real product we give is taking care of their needs. It’s not about fixing the car. It’s solving the problem for them. It’s doing it for them. I just say drop it off and we’ll fit it in. If the customer wants to know about how much (cost), then I call them. If they need a ride, sure I’ll give you a ride if you need it. Try to make it as easy as possible for them to help through this interruption in life. It’s the customer first. You need to make sure that you check everything over on that car when you’re doing it, make them aware of potential things. S. is the same way.
Prover 2: There’s a lot of fixing going on in that building.
Prover 1: She shows that by always being on time.
Prover 2: Makes them feel invited, safe and welcome as soon as they arrive. Walking into getting a car fixed is walking into the unknown.
Prover 1: Sometimes a woman will say, well I’m a woman.
Prover 3: Go in to get one thing done, then the mechanic does more things, and they feel that they aren’t taking care of the person. They’re taking care of the mechanic, making more money.
Prover 2: Don’t take it to the dealer because they’ll find more things and charge you more money.
Prover 1: We do indeed put the customer first.
Prover 2: You have a very transparent consistent business.
Prover 1: That’s intentional honesty and transparency. The dealer will tell someone something. BMW or Audi, told a person that had a radiator leaking in Toronto and dropped the car off. They fixed the problem and the client called me while they were there. The dealer said they needed $8000 worth of work on this car. It creates tension with the customer, they ask why didn’t you see all this stuff? I’ll look at it and it’s all a lie. There will be nothing wrong with the things the dealer said. Maybe its failing slightly, maybe a tech is getting rewarded for this. Once again the image is reinforced, then the question of our abilities goes away. I take them right in the garage and show them. They have the great relief that they don’t have to spend so much on the car.
Prover 3: The smell of this really hits you.
Prover 2: Does it still have the green tint?
Prover 3: Right down to the bowels, not sure I was going to share that, nothing happened though! Not too much of a green tint in there.
Prover 1: Feeling post nasal drip going down throat.
Prover 3: Mild itch in the inner corner of the eyes.
Prover 2: Itchy feeling under eyes toward outer corner of eyes.
Prover 3: I feel like if I keep talking about it, it’s going to itch more. It could get carried away. It’s how my allergies happen sometimes. Last time I was in Panama, I was horseback riding; they have those mangy horses, got a slight itch. I scratched it and it got worse. It was like a cascade and my eyes were swollen out of my head. I got the horse to gallop to the river and left everyone behind. I washed my eyes with cold water, but it didn’t take care of it.
Supervisor: Was it about the horses being mangy?
Prover 3: No, I was just focused on the allergy, just wanted to get my eyes back to normal because I had to drive back to Panama City.
Prover 1: Where were you?
Prover 3: Could have been Santa Fe up on the hill.
Prover 1: It’s maybe an hour from Panama City.
Prover 3: I don’t understand the math of this at all; too much for my brain (talking about adding the milk sugar between provers). My mosquito bites keep itching.
Prover 1: Definitely some itching in there.
Prover 2: Kind of scratching here and there.
Prover 3: Tip of my elbow, here, there and everywhere.
Prover 1: (To a different proving group). It’s sounding pretty rowdy over there.
Prover 2: Yeah, like a den of lions over there.
Prover 1: Going to call the Policia on you.
Prover 2: They’re roaring over there.
Prover 1: I feel like my eyesight is incredibly clear, crisp and focused, unusual because I don’t think my prescription is quite right. Usually seems a little foggy and it’s dead clear.
Prover 2: The green is very alluring and I’ll keep seeing things a little past it and past it and it’s really clear.
Prover 3: In a sensual way?
Prover 2: No, I just want my body to go where my eyes take me. I want to be able to fly and flutter, zip around in there.
Prover 3: Like a drone?
Prover 2: It reminds me of Neverland, fly around in there like a fairy.
Prover 1: Until the vine snake grabs you.
2&3. That was cool.
Prover 1: to Supervisor. You don’t know what you missed (referring to the vine snake).
Supervisor. Yeah I do.
Prover 3: He’s helping you out there, the customer comes first.
Prover 1: Would you like some Nescafe? Fresh ground beans, filtered water, now that’s coffee.
Prover 3: I was tuning more to the voices of the birds, having a voice, everybody has their voice.
Prover 2: Every bird has a distinct voice out there.
Prover 3: See, I start talking about it and the birds say yeah I have my voice, this is me. I can identify a few birds back home by their voice, but I have a long way to go here.
Prover 1: There’s a variety.
Prover 3: On Bowen, C’s husband did a little bird tour. He can stand in the middle of a forest and know every bird by its sound within a km radius and just name them all.
Prover 1: Wow, I admire that. Like L. around the corner, he’s the bird guy for the Botanical Gardens. When someone wants a bird tour he does it. I was at his house and he was able to name it. He just has that eye. He knew all of the songs (bird’s voices). He is a musician, he loaned me the bass. He has a studio and records Calypso and Latin music. How’s that! Very meditative, very Zen.
C2
Prover 3: Getting very overwhelmed by the smell, I even taste the smell in the water. I feel immersed in smell. It’s overwhelming. Maybe I’m a little stuffy from it. There’s a tingliness in the root of my nose. It goes into my eyes, like a sharp tingle. I was reading the thing about the Chief Seattle. That’s what Seattle, Washington is named after. They talked about wanting to buy his land. The big chief of Washington wants to buy the Indian Chief’s land. The ancestors, all of the beauty of the land is never forgotten, they’re connected.
Prover 2: The water that runs in the river is the blood of their father’s father.
Prover 3: They immerse themselves and as a result they have a true respect of the land, It’s sacred.
Prover 2: Yes.
Prover 3: It’s hard for them to sell their land.
Prover 2: It’s not theirs.
Prover 3: Trying to say to the white man, if you keep it sacred it’s easier, we have to be able to trust you to keep it sacred.
Prover 1: Be a steward. The white man set some bad examples. The white man slaughtered all of the buffalos and left them lying. One thing I find shocking and invasive is fracking. Your brother is involved (to prover 3). It’s clearly doing so much damage on a structural and environmental level. It contaminates groundwater, creates earthquakes.
Prover 3: How the government lets them get away with it, it’s about the money.
Prover 1: It always is.
Prover 2: When isn’t it about the money?
Prover 1: In Panama, there are four major indigenous people here, located in various areas in Panama. They have autonomy over their own regions. That comes head to head especially with the last government that was running here. There was this case; where they wanted to put in a strip mine on the Ngobe land. He was pushing hard for it. The Ngobe took the government to court. They were blocking roads and burning tires on the Pan American Highway. It was very contested and they won in the Panamanian courts. The thing that is fascinating, they are indigenous, living in cardboard boxes. It’s not that they have to because the government provides, but it’s their choice, they don’t care. They have the way of life like they’ve had forever and they want to continue living. Money has no meaning for them it’s about community. There’s a tribe north of Panama City that people rarely see to this day. They are very minimally clothed, living off the jungle.
Prover 2: Continuing the way of life of their ancestors and lineage.
Prover 3: Right next to the city.
Prover 1: I’m sure it happens around the world, but we continue to encroach. In Brazil, cutting down jungles for palm tree oil and soybean farms in the middle of the Amazon. First they stripped the land for grazing for cattle, then they planted soybeans.
Prover 3: GMO soybeans.
Prover 1: Malo is a South American chicken company, it’s like the Purdue or Tyson back home. They petitioned the government to bring in genetically modified feed to feed the chickens.
Prover 3: The people should boycott it right away.
Prover 1: There was a huge outcry. Well, they’re just feeding the animals with it not people is the response.
Prover 2: Nothing like the food chain.
Prover 1: Sweating on left side only from top of head down to knee.
Prover 2: Back to the grind. (as she begins her turn).
Prover 1: It’s the same old grind. Really itchy through nose and back of throat (he coughs).
Prover 3: The nasopharynx thing.
Prover 1: What did you call me?
Prover 3: Bloody nasopharynx.
Prover 1: Now it’s bloody.
Prover 3: Could happen.
Prover 2: Getting more sinusy.
Prover 1: Came on in a wave.
Prover 3: Have been, but I’m more aware of it. People have to start to really recognize their connection to the earth.
Prover 2: Yes.
Prover 3: Not only that, they have to respect where they come from, that’s not widely recognized. In GMOS, we break the connection, we start punching holes in genes and recombining DNA, you’re breaking connections of the emergence of life. It’s irreverent, disrespect of our interconnectedness and our interrelationship with nature and that were a part of it.
Prover 2: Yeah, there is so much out here in nature that has the voice of our ancestors that we need to listen to so that were not destroying our past that got us to the present. Were slowly losing that connection.
Prover 1: A lot of people would say so what.
Prover 2: Feel like were destroying the earth.
Prover 3: It’s a soul loss.
Prover 1: How would it change your existence if we were not doing that?
Prover 3: Existence would be richer. As much as we can, still be here its okay.
Prover 2: Change the connectivity you have to everything, to other people, that physical connection you can have, that’s not just sending a text or skype or email. The technological process is taking away from the interpersonal relationships that we have with people and that goes back to nature. We can’t survive as a species. Everything out here needs things to grow, and that includes food, which we need to grow.
Prover 3: Like the word interpersonal, interconnectivity to everything maintains a reverence that allows things to go beyond money with a focus on commercial interests, it distracts us in terms of where we came from.
Prover 1: Tightness in chest near sternum, across top of chest, a little anxiety with it. Buzzing, numbness right arm and right side.
Prover 3: Start giving you the Nitro.
Facilitator: What kind of situation do you come from?
Prover 2: It’s more of where our ancestor and lineage began to get us where we are, its’ not forgetting those that worked so hard to get us here.
Prover 3: When our ancestors died.
Prover 2: The water of the river is the blood of my father’s father.
Prover 3: To acknowledge the voices of each person.
Prover 2: Interpersonal connectivity. Talked about it in business, putting the needs of others first, not living out of ego, putting the person first, being able to take people from living egotistically instead of confidently in who you are.
Prover 3: There’s the irony. If you drop your ego you can be more of who you are. If you don’t feel special you get egotistic. If you drop your ego you’ll feel more special because you’ll be connected to your ancestors.
Prover 1: It’s listening to ourselves. It speaks of integrity to me, if you listen well and act with integrity you’re granted a great deal of freedom from that.
Prover 3: Freedom.
Prover 1: I rarely, if ever, call a customer and tell them how much it will be, because I act with integrity in all of it.
Facilitator: Situation for an indigenous person who comes into this kind of conflict.
Prover 2: I keep going back, losing your voice because you were ganged up on.
Supervisor: A bullying kind of thing.
Facilitator: How to solve it?
Prover 1: You can petition the court, keep fighting, you have to believe in yourself.
Prover 3: There’s a determination.
Facilitator: What’s the quality of the smell?
Prover 1: Delicate, grassy, sweetness.
Facilitator: Grassy, vanilla, delicate, subtle.
Prover 1: Tells supervisor to get out of the proving.
Prover 3: Don’t feel ganged up on do you?
Prover 1: Feel the love. Teacher is gone we can relax now.
Prover 3: Those words, open and communicative have something to with communication.
Supervisor. It’s about having a voice.
Prover 1: Very subtle little flower, but at the same time, the small person can have a difference on a bigger level. Making sure they stood up for their rights.
Prover 3: I like environmental cases, ecojustice lawyers. I like it because they’re one of the best front line defenses or fighters against big business that is going against the environment.
Prover 1: Earth justice is what it’s called. Their approach is to file suit against the copper mines, or any group that is compromising the environment.
Prover 3: The government is the biggest offender.
Prover 1: &3. Gotta have the voice, cannot roll over completely, as much as they would like you to.
Prover 3: You have EPA’s, they’re maybe just in bed with the businesses. Really often they don’t do their job, they just ignore things.
Prover 3: Woman named Maggie, has a place in northern British Columbia. She had a river near her house that was polluted from toxic chemicals. Her son and husband swam in it and got really infected with all kinds of things and there was nothing she could do. Tried on the local level. I don’t think they’ve tried hard enough.
Prover 1: The corporation has the resources to fight it, financially and the time to do it. Maggie doesn’t.
Prover 3: When will government have integrity?
Prover 1: The way we approach it in the USA, they shouldn’t be doing it all. They should be interfering and should be policing.
Prover 3: It interferes with the American dream?
Prover 1: Also Chief Seattle’s view on what the world should be. Resources or money, don’t do enough to go against the bigger thing.
Prover 3: The ones that own the resources have the control.
Prover 2: Resources were once what we needed for heat or fire. If you don’t have that money you can’t express our voice.
Prover 3: We need to be reverent for resources.
Prover 2: An indigenous person only knows what they know from their lifetime and lineage. Someone tries to take from them what they’ve always known and don’t have the money or resource to fight it.
Prover 1: Ever seen that statistic about how it basically tracks western civilization in particular over time. Back 200 years ago, 90% of people lived within 15 miles of their hometown and never moved beyond that. Now people are everywhere. That was all you knew was that small community.
Prover 3: Progress.
Prover 1: You can do that in 3 minutes.
Prover 3: Getting overwhelmed again with smell; every time I start grinding! It’s a very sweet smell. The water tastes different.
Prover 2: Want to touch everything and be totally immersed in it. Definitely itchy. Has something to do with the senses, smell, taste, voice.
Prover 3: Feel like the smell can move through my whole body. The smell comes in through my nose and goes right down to my feet. It can be a clearing feeling.
Supervisor; What’s it clearing? It embodies me; it’s more of a sensation. Doesn’t really bring up any feelings.
Prover 1: Permeates every fiber of your being.
Prover 3: The smell becomes me.
Prover 1: It’s a very becoming smell. It’s really mellow.
Prover 2: More about expressing through writing but through your voice.
Prover 1: In prover 3’s case, it’s coming out through every pore.
Prover 3: Doesn’t seem to come out, just stays deep. Must be a performer.
Prover 1: The world’s a stage. I just made it up, I like to be honest in all things.
Prover 3: It’s almost like for just a second the smell is like the chlorine in a pool.
Prover 2: I can taste it more than smell it, on the back of my tongue, kind of a chemical taste.
Prover 1: Let the timekeeper be the timekeeper.
Prover 3: Something to do with intention.
Prover 1: But I will say, (singing the Beatles) When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me…….
Prover 3: Be the timekeeper.
Prover 1: Here it goes (other group makes a lot of noise).
Prover 2: The cackly ones over there.
Prover 3: They got their voice. (Referring to a prover in a different group that we could hear. She was saying I am, woman I am strong).
Prover 1: I’m just keeping time. Time cannot be questioned.
Prover 3: We need the show, the show must go on.
Supervisor; I’m feeling the chlorine in my throat.
Prover 3: Get out of our proving.
Supervisor; you bully.
Prover 3: Better get yourself a lawyer.
Prover 1: You’ll hear more about this in due time. What was the hand thing? The Muensters, the Addams family?
Prover 3: You gotta cut your hand off before you can do that.
Prover 1: Prover 1 is lost with time keeping.
Prover 2: I’m forgetting time, losing track of time.
Prover 3: Time is on my side (sings Rolling Stones song). That vine snake really looked like a vine.
Prover 2: Yeah, even when he had the lizard.
Prover 3: He was doing the vine camouflage thing; he didn’t realize the lizard was giving him away. You were entering the proving to the supervisor.
Prover 1: Don’t do that again Lori! Yesterday’s proving was so contractured and we were so tight, now I feel so relaxed, stretched out and open instead of being all closed up. Some people call it obnoxious.
Prover 2: Feeling some acidity in stomach, burning.
Prover 3: Burning, burning, burning, the ring of fire (singing Johnny Cash).
Prover 2: If I burp, a little reflux in the back of the throat, but not bad.
Prover 3: Everyone in nature has their thing they can eat. That’s why it’s important to have biodiversity, this can eat this, that eats that, so everyone eats something different so one thing doesn’t get used up.
Prover 1: Yawning, getting tired, naptime.
Prover 3: I was yawning at the beginning.
Prover 1: Yesterday got into a crazy yawning fit and it was really loud, it was funny.
Prover 3: Why do people yawn?
Prover 1: I always thought it was to super oxygenate, but someone said that’s a myth. We hypothesize that it’s to open up all of the muscles in the chest and open you up.
Prover 2: Yawning is contagious.
Prover 3: Feel pretty energetic, determined.
Prover 1: He’s gone now (talking about lizard he saw on a stem). He dreams of surviving long enough to be a big lizard instead of a snake lunch.
Prover 3: It makes me think I’m eating snake for lunch.
Prover 1: Rattlesnake, have you ever eaten it?
Prover 3: Tastes like chicken.
Prover 2: Was it oily?
Prover 3: Was it tough?
Prover 1: No, it probably depends on how it is prepared.
Prover 3: Had alligator and it was pretty tough. I smell lunch. Bits and bites, every time you pull out a new ball game (it’s a commercial for a snack mix; cartoon guy kind of a big guy with a big hand and he pulls out bits and bites; every time you pull out a whole new ball game).
C3
Prover 3: The tropical breeze makes everything light, makes life sweet.
Prover 1: Pain left temple, stabbing, sharp.
Prover 3: Sweet Georgia Brown.
Prover 1: How about Sweet Caroline? Now all of you will be listening to that stupid song all day compliments of me.
Prover 3: There’s one of those honey birds.
Prover 2: Vision thing is so pronounced still, like when you look at the road in the heat. It’s like looking at that plant and looking through its heat and it’s so intense, but I still want to keep looking past it.
Prover 3: Does anyone get that smell? I feel like everyone should have it and we should be talking about it.
Facilitator: Do you like it?
Prover 3: Not sure, kind of neutral, just overwhelming, can’t attach an emotion to it.
Facilitator: Overwhelming?
Prover 3: Embodies the whole environment, takes precedence over everything. It’s kind of a soul that embodies me. When it doesn’t embody me, it embodies the environment. Reverence to things, we talked about personal integrity.
Prover 1: We also talked about the subtle power of the individual, taking responsibility and changing things. It’s a powerful flower even though it’s small.
Prover 2: Subtle, consistent, power.
Facilitator: How did you handle situation with your father?
Prover 3: I let it go, I think I adapted.
Prover 1: Similar quality to yesterday of stage 14.
Facilitator: You don’t feel out of contact with each other.
Prover 1: Yeah I could fight the battle, but I’m not going to bother.
Prover 3: Also, I don’t have the resources so I let it go, gave up.
Facilitator: That’s how you handled it?
Prover 3: Said to myself in the moment I need to learn more. I’d like to sell you the land, but I don’t know if you have the reverence.
Prover 1: Talked a lot about business, putting the customer first, helping employees understand that their ego comes second.
Facilitator: That’s also in the story of the Panamanian people. It’s connected to honesty, reverence or respect for those around you. That’s a common theme.
Prover 1: The honesty imparts strength to you. There’s a lot of strength in that little flower.
Facilitator: The duality is in the smell.
Prover 3: I mentioned determination, prover 1 is giving a determined energy. In order to come up against these outside forces there has to be determination. Prover 1 has a certain determination, maybe stage 11? You have to maintain, integrity, maintain environment, maintain stewardship of land when you sell it. with my experience with my father and brother; my interest to start with is to maintain my consciousness for the environment, but I take a fall; I can’t maintain it with them because I can’t take a stand.
Prover 1: Does that happen with other people?
Prover 3: Not really; I don’t really think it matters.
Prover 1: Was that a unique situation?
Prover 3: It’s hard to sort out what belongs to the proving. You kind of have to look for the patterns. I think we can agree there’s a voice to be heard.
Prover 1: A small very quiet voice, that is irresolute and determined.
Prover 3: The resolution. What’s behind the determination?
Prover 1: Then honesty comes back in. Trying to figure out the stage?
Prover 2: It feels invasive when resources are taken away. That was the loss of the interpersonal connection.
Prover 1: Believing in what’s right and coming from a firm basis of honesty and integrity.
Prover 3: Risk is losing the integrity which is phase 5. It’s something very expansive, phase 5 is very expansive.
Prover 1 and 2 just got the smell.
Prover 2: The smell is very penetrating, not an offensive smell, indifferent to it. It’s very fragrant.
Prover 1: The physicals are gone for me.
Prover 3: I’m very aware of my whole body. It’s like the smell has brought me back into my body.
Prover 1: Did A. tell you about the man that was recording yesterday? Told a story of going fishing as a kid, his brother would talk about little antennae rising up. They were lobsters, you reach in and grab it by the back and pull it out, don’t let it go. Goes to the ocean, reaches slowly gets the lobster on the back, the thing has all of these tentacles and stings his arm and looks and his brother is laughing his ass off on the beach.
Prover 3: On the verge of being tired, maybe euphoric, but not quite.
Everyone got very quiet.
Prover 3: That smell just got to me. How can it smell so much, it’s a C3 now? For a minute, felt lost in the atmosphere, like stratosphere, like floating. He draws a picture of purple & blue sphere.
Prover 1: Let’s talk about the Chicago Bulls.
Prover 3: Who are they, baseball….basketball? Did you get prover 1’s thing of OCD?
