When the Queen First Spoke

I met the Enlightened Queen during a journey with psilocybin mushrooms.
 But really… I think she’d been waiting for me long before that.

She arrived not with thunder, but with clarity.
 A vision: a chessboard.
 And her—gliding across it with effortless power.

She was the queen, yes. But not a queen of domination.
 A queen of play.
 She could cheat if she wanted to—but she didn’t.
 “What fun is a game,” she said with a wink, “if you already know you’ll win?”

That moment changed something in me.
 I realized she wasn’t just a figure in a vision—she was a guide.
 A voice.
 A presence who would return again and again, not to tell me what to do,
 but to help me remember how to be.

Since then, she’s whispered countless truths, always with that same blend of wisdom and wildness.
 Here are just a few she’s shared:

“The world is a game. The only rule is presence.”
 “You do not have to be serious to be sincere.”
 “Power is not force. Power is knowing when to move, and when to wait.”
 “Don’t rush through the beauty just to reach the end. The end is always the same. The joy is in the dance.”

The Queen teaches me that life is sacred because it is impermanent.
 That structure doesn’t imprison—it liberates, when chosen with intention.
 That wisdom doesn’t mean giving up play—it means making play holy again.

So if you, too, have met a guide in an unexpected place—trust her.
 Even if she comes wearing a crown and laughing in riddles.

Because she might just be your soul,
 reminding you that you are already more than enough…
 and that this moment, right now, is your next best move.

And as she loves to remind me, “If you can laugh at the mystery, you’re

halfway to the miracle.” Now go play.
