Drugs.
Illegal drugs.
Marijuana, *******, ecstasy, mushrooms, LSD.
All taken by the governments.
And they picked the right drugs to take away from us.
Drugs can be a very good thing as they can also be a very bad thing.
Because with drugs,
one can get closer to what is real, as,
one can get further away to what is real.
Everybody carries the freedom to explore and experiment with what ever they want.
But the governments do not want people to experiment with them-selves and with these substances.
The governments want to keep things organized in their own chosen structure so that they can control people.
And they know that drugs can actually help and be useful.
They know that drugs can be used for spiritual practices and that in these practices one can become a realized man of truth.
Every drug gives you a different effect,
a different experience,
and as you experience the effect of which ever drug,
this will bring about an opportunity to encounter reality.
Because when one sees what is NOT real,
one begins to see what IS real.
Drugs allow you,
the opportunity,
to realize that you are the observer behind the experience.
Marijuana is such an amazing substance,
such an amazing plant.
It brings upon such deep relaxation.
And when one is "high",
present is the opportunity to understand the simplicity of what is truly happening:
that the body and mind are becoming still,
your body feels lighter and more at ease.
Here,
in this state,
it could be easier to watch and recognize your true self.
Your body and mind are elevated by the effects of marijuana,
and if you become very silent and you close your eyes and you stay there,
and you start watching and experiencing,
you might just feel as if you are separate from the body and mind,
and though the body and mind feel so relaxed,
you are somewhere else,
very very still.
Trying **** can change your whole view and perspective towards life.
The simple act of doing something that is illegal,
gives you a sense of freedom.
It can amplify and support the freedom that you have.
There are other drugs,
stronger more intense drugs like ecstasy.
Here is another opportunity to experience a different feeling in the body.
Ecstasy is a little bit riskier and more harmful to the body.
It provokes an amazing feeling called ecstasy.
Though many are not aware,
we all already carry that feeling within us.
One just needs to activate it.
The pill simply skips the whole meditation and takes one straight to ecstasy.
If you have ever tried ecstasy,
wonder and contemplate the following question:
what happens when in ecstasy...??
When one is on ecstasy,
there is nothing more but the present moment.
You are totally IN the moment,
you are extremely happy IN the present moment,
you are feeling everything IN the present moment,
you see everything,
hear everything.
You become so utterly loving.
You start sharing your love,
and this brings even more ecstasy.
If you are highly aware and alert,
it will not take too many pills to realize that though you get this awesome feeling of ecstasy,
there is also a bad,
sometimes horrible,
side to it:
When your body doesn't feel healthy with it.
The mushroom is a very,
very,
revealing drug.
Natural to begin with,
And very revealing.
Because the mushroom is a poison,
when the poison is in you,
in a very subtle way,
you experience a slow form of death.
If one eats a sufficient amount of mushrooms,
one might just poison oneself to death.
But when one consumes just a little bit,
One goes threw this interesting experience.
The body recognizes that this is a source of poison,
and with its own intelligence,
it tries to get rid of the mushroom.
So one might **** it, or,
one might ***** it.
The point is that it is a poison.
And as one experiences this poison inside one's body,
because one is coming closer to death,
one is coming closer to life also.
In that moment,
again it happens,
that there is only THAT moment.
You do not care about anything else because you are so in-to that moment.
You feel so connected to nature and the environment,
as if you are one with it all.
And here,
once again,
another opportunity to realize that you are not the one who is experiencing the whole trip,
but that you are the one who is watching the experiencer.
And if you are watching the body-mind go threw this whole process,
you can not be the body-mind.
So it does not matter whether you die or you don't in that moment,
because in that moment you can free yourself from the idea of death.
LSD is the greatest one of them all.
Because LSD does not give a feeling of being poisoned.
LSD enhances all senses,
one can feel ten times more,
one can see ten times better, hear, taste, etc..
All of ones senses are amplified.
And again ,
this is simply just another opportunity to realize that one is far away as the witnessing presence to what is happening to the body-mind and to the senses.
When you experiment with all these drugs,
and you realize that you are just the watcher of it all and not the experimenter,
you will not keep experimenting with them.
Because like i said,
drugs can get you closer to the truth,
to what is real.
And once one realizes certain truths like:
one is not the body,
one is not the experiencer,
one will realize deeper truths like:
one is with no form just a watcher,
a witness.
And having gone beyond all drugs and experiences,
one will not continue using drugs,
since one is aware that they will only harm the body.
It does not matter what drug one does,
one has already known the truth about ones self.
The only new thing in a new drug,
would be the new experience,
the new feelings,
the new emotions that come about.
But when one sees that one is greater than all these things,
one realizes,
that thou the body-mind is affected by the effects of drugs,
ones true self is not affected by any-thing.
Your true self does not change at all,
it remains the same,
always,
that peaceful awareness.
If you are not aware and alert,
you will start doing drugs and you will start to get lost in them.
You will get lost in your own mind,
in your own "reality",
in your own projection of life.
I get the feeling that the governments know about the potential transformation that drugs can bring to a person.
Because of this,
they have made all these substances illegal.
Not only because of economical reasons.
But also,
so that people remain firm and steady in the manner and in the way that they want you to be.
They do not want you to experience all these extra-ordinary experiences.
They want to keep you straight in THEIR straight line.
They do not want you to go drifting in-to these realizations.
Beause you might just awaken yourself threw them and realize that you are totally free.
And how then can a fully realized individual be ruled?
