Is it possible that Colombian politicians, as well as voters, can turn to the powerful esoteric plants of the Samper Mendoza Plaza-such as palosanto, rue, incense and myrrh-to strengthen our personal ethics and gain the wisdom necessary to avoid electing sociopathic or Machiavellian rulers? By integrating these ancestral wisdoms, will we be able to fight corruption and promote a social transformation that fosters honesty, transparency and commitment to the common good, thus creating a more just society, where the vital thing is the plant that nourishes the human being, and not money?
