#106 - Ritualistic Poison & Contemplative Mysticism with David Chaim Smith | Glitch Bottle
 In this special video podcast, esoteric cartographer and contemplative mystic David Chaim Smith discusses how his style of contemplative mysticism careens directly into the toxins that obscure phenomena. From the heart of reality the divine nectar can be sipped like a bee draws nectar from a flower from within the most virulent and poisonous klipot (shells of superficiality). The key is devotion to En Sof (The Infinite) which continually overflows through whatever appears ... if we have eyes to see it. When delusion is overcome only En Sof remains, and reality is spontaneously reborn as profound truth, beauty, and goodness. This realization is the true goal of the great work. In this podcast David will explain how one can consume alcohol as an intentional toxin for purification, ironically, and so he discusses (and sips) this topic while answering your Patreon listener questions! And now to help us Uncork the Uncommon, raise a glass of any beverage you prefer, pull up a chair and join me as we welcome back contemplative mystic, David Chaim Smith.► ✅ Check out Dave's incredible website here- https://www.davidchaimsmith.com/✦🔮Become a super secret Glitch Bottle supporter! ✅►https://www.patreon.com/glitchbottle  ► ✅Full YouTube Video Episode:  https://youtu.be/iuXtNydvPLw ♫ Music by the artist Crowander (track name: “Tornado”)-https://soundcloud.com/crowander -https://crowander.bandcamp.com/-https://soundcloud.com/crowander/tornado
