Its been kind of an exhaustive day... with everything else ..was also surfing on the net researching drugs like LSD and DTM for a friend. Or rather I should say to warn a friend of the consequences. I must say I was mighty surprised at the vast and in depth info that I gathered. Even more surprising to me was the effect that reading all this material had on me. I must say it was intriguing... which is why I am wondering why all this is posted on the net. I mean they openly say that LSD or Acid as it is popularly known is not addictive, it enhances your sensory perceptions and sharpness. To top it all u get the experience of a life time... I mean is this misleading or what.. A drug is a drug right? Or as my dopist friend says that its just our mindset. He says that alcohol is equally bad but just bcoz its legalised in India we feel alcohol is acceptable. If the same was for Marijuana, we would feel the same as we feel for alcohol. At the risk of sounding submissive I think what he says bears thought. But I still feel that in calling spade a spade we are missing the actual point. Be it alcohol or dope or a person.... if one is gaining blissfulness or ecstacy or satisfaction from either of them... its still an outside source right? The idea is to find blissfullness in ur own self with being externally dependent on anything or anyone.
Though I do admit that while I was reading up on DMT.. I was really fascinated. People who have tried DMT have had amazing psychic experiences... some out of body ones... some contacted the ethreal world... some chatted with so called aliens... Yeah.. sounds hogwash a bit.... but these are recorded statements by respectale pand well known people in the society. Its too coincidental that all of them kind of have the same type of experience. So.. I was mighty intrigued. I mean here I am trying to meditate and reach a certain level.. and here is a substance that promises to cut off all the hard work and depart u straight to supersonic consciousness. A shortcut! Thats what it is, or atleast thats what it seems like.
And that is when I realised that even if this drug is all that it promises, but its still an escape route right? Escaping hardwork! Escaping reality! And I honestly believe... achieving success without hardwork is usually temporary. As Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev blatantly puts it... "Bullshit might sometimes take u to the top, but it wont let u remain there for long".
All in all... I am mighty glad that I have not had a taste of such potent substances. I am going to pray that may my friend finds the strength to give up all this and actually start living this beautiful life instead of merely succumbing to temptations and experiences...
Amen
Inshallah
Hari Om
Jai Gurudev..
