 43. Drugs, Social |
The drug experience would allow you to come in and "pranam" or bow to Christ (experience Christ consciousness) but you could only stay for two hours, and then you would have to leave again. It would be much better to become Christ than to just visit with him. But your social drugs won't don that. Because it is a false "samadhi," (false enlightenment). It may be useful to visit a saint, "it strengthens your faith." But, love is a stronger medicine.
-Maharaj-Ji
The seeking and union should be from genuine love, not experienced from time to time because it is a fad or out of boredom with life. Meditation is the natural and safe way to experience higher states of consciousness.
Most assuredly, I say to you he who does not enter the sheepfold by the "door" (gate, gate to all wonders), "but climbs up some other way the same is a thief and a robber."
-Jesus, John 10:1 *(More research needed.)
You shall love the Lord (which is the inner Holy Spirit in the form of self awareness), your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind, this is the first and greatest commandment. (Jesus, Matthew 22:37) Meditation is the way to become one with the God that you love, and actually are.
Marijuana and the hallucinogenic drugs (LSD, mescaline, etc.) may provoke illusions of bliss, heightened energy and psychic expansion, but they actually, or by reaction, contrast the entire nervous system and severely distort the natural alignment of the physical body to the etheric and astral dimensions. They lead to the dominance of the psychic over the truly spiritual (or self transcending) disposition – thus promoting a craving for "visions" and other psychic and mental "distractions," rather than allowing the natural disposition of spirit-communion with the all-pervading and transcendental divine reality (i.e., God, Tao, Brahma, Yhwh, etc.).
-Franklin Jones
On Earth, pure-minded children are sometimes able to see the graceful astral bodies of angels. Through drugs or intoxicating drink, WHOSE USE IS FORBIDDEN BY ALL SCRIPTURES, a man may so derange his consciousness that he perceives the hideous forms in the astral hells.

E.Cayce, A.R.E. States:
The use of drugs as a doorway into the unconscious is a complicated subject. Within the past few years both private and institutional experimentation have proceeded at a very rapid pace. It is difficult to keep informed of the published reports of work being done in the field, much less keep abreast of studies and personal experiences which never are printed.
