It's been said that Truth or Reality is this mountain that we all traverse throughout our lifetimes. And that different religions take different paths up the mountain, but all end up in the same point. Well the validity of that claim is something to discuss on a day other than Thursday.
But, being Thursday, I wanna talk a bit about drugs and their role in our meandering up that pile of rock.
Maybe drugs drop you near the top of the mountain. Not the very top, but maybe like 2/3 of the way up. I'm talking about psychedelics now. And Ive never done anything besides weed, but have extensively researched LSD and its family. Ive also had LSD like experiences on weed.
The paradigm shift that comes with this new found perspective blows our minds, and there is a profundity that we lack in the cardboard box every day existence. But here's the problem:
When we ascend by following the traditional ways of religion, we are able to gradually see the perspective change - trees become neighborhoods, become cities, becomes the horizon. Things make sense through that wisdom rooted in Rock. Also, assets like perseverance, patience, and muscles are developed from the grueling walk.
These all serve to ground us and protect us when we reach the top of the mountain and start getting into other realms. People who have been dropped there by drugs are vulnerable and dont have the muscle and perspective to fight off the metaphorical mountain lions and creatures lurking up there to devour people.
Door can be opened that can never be closed.
They were right all along, don't do drugs. Drugs are bad.
