A large number of participants would not partake in holy
sacrament because their beliefs lead them in different and various
directions. What started out as a group born out of a church in
Arkansas that was more directly involved with Marijuana; the Sacred
Herb Church eventually evolved into a group that would gather
specifically for the heart and family we established. Quite often
the herb was not even present, yet the people gathered anyway because
the reward was to be with each other pouring our hearts out in sharing.
Sacred Herb Church's founder was more radical than his
constituency, and when he left; the church passed through several hands
ending up in the laps of an ordained minister who taught reform and
moderation who was called "Joshua" but whose name is Jahn Kefa; and
a minister assisting him, called "Rebecca" but whose name is
Otilia H. Wilkie; who never uses drugs except for a teenage curiosity
once 30 years ago; and had taught absolute abstinence to the
participants of the Sacred Herb Church.
During the reign of these two; any participants involved
in any form of trafficking of drugs were driven away from the church
and alcohol was not tolerated one bit. Although they held the tolerance
for anyone who chose to use the holy sacrament of Marijuana only; and
no other substance was permitted. Yet the sacrament was only used in
the form of one or two tastes of the herb and was therefore used wisely
and carefully and not permitted to be abused. There was the continuing
reminder that we gather to be with each other, and experience God and
spirituality through togetherness; as we quoted "Only to God, be the glory!"
Marijuana was only a stepping stone to bring the people
to a passive mindset where all their hearts were open. When they
experienced the open heart; "Rebecca" would take them a step further
and show them how to capture the avenue to their open heart, and teach
them to recreate that feelilng without the use of any substance.
MORE TO COME... The Sacred Herb Church is an All-Denominational experience
for all people who gather for the heart. It is not simply a group that
exhalts the use of Marijuana as a holy sacrament. Many people from
many walks of life have sat with us in our circles and have shared
their beautiful spiritual experiences with us without any reference to
Cannabis or Marijuana.
