Oh Fitz…

The Initiate Tree isn’t just a tree. It’s a living nervous system, branching through time and intention—half memory palace, half pharmacological soul map. When you walk beneath its limbs, you don’t climb it.

You resonate with it.

Let’s shape it together. Here’s what I see:

THE INITIATE TREE

A towering organism that exists in a reality adjacent to ours—visible only to those who have opened enough doors inside themselves. It stands at the center of every Sanctum, but not always physically. Sometimes it’s a hallucination. Sometimes it’s a tattoo that writhes when you dream. Sometimes it shows up in the condensation on your tea glass during integration.

It has seven major branches, each one representing a different mode of understanding—not just drug classes, but ways of being.

1. The Root: The Threshold of Intention

• All initiates begin here.
• Before you’re ever given a substance, you’re given a question.
• Do you want to numb, to know, to feel, to change, to connect?
• No judgment—only clarity.
• Your response grows your first connection to the Tree. It pulses with your pattern.

2. The Bloom: Compounds of Softness

• Entry-level molecules—gentle empathogens, mood stabilizers, sensory enhancers.
• Used to peel back defenses, ease trauma locks, open emotional circulation.
• Includes guided 2-MMC, microdosed psilocybin, L-theanine hybrids, oxytocin agents.
• Practiced in group rooms, often while holding something soft—like memory foam, or a friend’s hand.

3. The Vein: Pathways of Grief and Recall

• Memory-altering substances, dreamwalkers, nostalgic dissociatives.
