Coca and Cocaine

William Martindale

Summary

The earliest accounts extant of Coca are contained in the writings of the historians who treat of the Spanish conquests in South America in the sixteenth century, and of Spanish travellers and Jesuit missionaries who followed in their wake.
Pedro de Cieza de Leon thus writes,[2](A.D. 1532 to 1550):—
“I have observed in all parts of the West Indies, where I have been, that the natives delight in holding herbs, roots, or twigs of trees in their mouths. Thus, in the territory of Antiocha, they use a small Herb called Coca, and other sorts in the province of Arma. In those of Quimbaya and Anzerma, they cut twigs off a sort of tender middling trees, which are always green, wherewith they are incessantly rubbing their teeth. In most parts about Cali and Popayan, they hold in their mouths the aforesaid small Coca, with a composition they keep in little calabashes, or else a sort of earth, like lime. Throughout all Peru, from the time they rise in the morning till they go to bed at night, they are never without this Coca in their mouths. The reason some Indians, to whom I put the question, gave me for so doing, was, that it made them insensible of hunger, and added to their strength and vigour. Something there may be in it, yet I am rather of opinion it is only an ill habit, and fit for such people as they are.

Depression - Become More...

Kendra Motors, Quinn Spencer,...

This combo contains several books that are all related to our mental health, which are:
Book 1: Where does anxiety come from? One of the studies that has been conducted, found that the amygdala in our brain play an essential role in the process of creating cortisol, the stress hormone, and that many of our reactions are somehow related to that cerebral region.
Book 2: You will also read about social anxiety disorder, a common disorder found among those who lack the willpower, skills, or the ability to naturally pick up social cues. It talks about how hard it can be to socialize, since many people have no idea what is going on inside our heads.
Book 3: What if you could begin to overcome your depression by getting the right information? Wouldn’t that be something worth investing into? Depression is a serious condition, and a manic depression takes it even a step further.
Book 4: The brain is the most important factor that determines our success. How well we handle the emotions caused by physical changes, how calm we can stay when panic hits our mind, and how determined we are to persevere when times get tough; those are things we need to control before we focus on any mechanics.
Book 5: Make better decisions and become more determined and disciplined.
If only we could control ourselves and direct our bodies to accomplish more; that’s what this guide is all about. Too many people are not in charge of what they do and say.
Book 6: You may have heard of emotional intelligence. You may have even learned a little bit about it. This audiobook, however, can take you to the next level of understanding what to do with the neural processes in your brain and how to channel them to gain more control over yourself and your situation.

Coherence - The integration of...

Carlos Orozco

Coherence is the flow of information from the intention to the purpose and from the purpose to the significance. In other words, every WHAT (Intention) has a WHAT FOR (purpose) and a WHY (significance), that leads to Congruency. Coherence is enforced with truthfulness, honesty, transparency, integrity and it is weakened and blocked by betrayal, lies, mis representation and toxic relationships at a physical, emotional, personal and spiritual levels.
The intention, purpose and significance are of electromagnetic nature, the resulting coherence and congruency allows for the collapse of the electromagnetic wave function giving way to the formation of vortices via the generation of gravitational waves followed by scalar waves. This is possible because of the angular momentum generated by spinning energy.
