Drug Abuse
Drugs are a very
interesting topic when looked at from a metaphysical point of view.
While they impact on the nervous system in a profound way they also
affect subtle bodies and states of consciousness immensely. The changes
in states of consciousness caused by drugs are the reason for their
widespread recreational use and provide many users with different
perspectives on the world. Many of the feelings encountered through drug
use are very similar to states of consciousness achieved by Spiritual
seekers and meditators throughout the world. States that we feel in
between lives while exploring higher dimensions can be synthetically
created with the right mixture of chemicals.
Although the
states of consciousness achieved through drug use may feel similar to
these higher dimensional states they are not the same because the ego is
still playing a large part in the user’s orientation. It is possible to
have real spiritual awakenings as a result of drugs but sometimes these
actually lead to a further solidification of the ego. As the states are
achieved through drugs and not by clearing and raising the vibration of
the subtle bodies, the end result is a more chaotic and crystallized
astral body which can even become cracked or begin to shatter as a
result of the sudden raise in vibration caused by the drug. The possible
dangers of drug use are damage to the astral body, loss of large amounts
of jing, a weakening of the etheric, disorganization and damage to the
chitta, spontaneous kundalini bursts and sudden incarnation of parts of
the light body which have very high vibration. These dangers run along
side the physical damage that can be caused to the brain, nervous
system, internal organs and glands.
The most dangerous
drugs in terms of damage to the astal body and chitta are hallucinogens
like LSD or Magic Mushrooms. The states of consciousness induced by
these drugs can be very high and can cause the Light body to strongly
incarnate into the astral body. As it does so the much higher vibration
of the Light body with its various structures of spinning light impacts
into the astral and thereby increases its vibration very suddenly. If
the astral body has weak spots or holes the light body will impact
further and if it also has dense crystallizations it can crack and begin
to shatter. As a result the individual may have an amazing spiritual
awakening but when the drug wares off the Light body will move back out
and the astral will slow down again. If broken the astral body will
never again be the way it was before the trip. Repair could take a very
long time even with the right practices.
Other drugs such
as ecstasy, other amphetamines and cocaine can cause the same type of
problem but it's not as likely to be so sudden. The raise in vibration
will not be as high with these drugs but when continually used the
astral body can become very disorganized leading to a psychotic episode
which may have the same results. These drugs when used repeatedly can
cause holes and weak spots to become worse and crystallizations to
become more brittle. This combination opens the ego structure up to
possible psychosis.
Ecstasy is
probably the worst drug of all when it comes to physical brain damage.
As it releases huge amounts of serotonin from
serotonin neurons it actually destroys the neurons. This destruction can
be very quick and the implications are massive. Keep on taking
ecstasy and pretty soon you will have very few serotonin circuits left
and you are destined for depression. The lack of serotonin will prevent
parts of the chitta from incarnating into the brain and so a
disconnection from parts of your personality (located in the chitta) can
occur. Repair of such brain damage is usually seen as impossible so if
you do nothing it will not repair. I believe however that a regeneration
of brain cells is possible through meditation and raising sexual energy
into the brain. If this is possible it will take a lot of work
and a full recovery may still not be possible
Marijuana is also
a very powerful drug, these days often made extremely potent with
hydroponics. This drug can cause the same types of problems as the
amphetamines but it will generally take longer and the threat is not as
strong for some people. Depending on the make up of your subtle bodies
marijuana may not be very dangerous or it could be quite a bad idea. If
you become extremely paranoid it’s time to stop. If extreme negative
symptoms occur with its use you can be sure that it is damaging you
astral body and chitta which could lead to psychosis.
All street drugs have the potential to cause serious problems but the
danger is far greater for certain people depending on how their subtle
bodies are structured. Trying drugs is not necessarily a bad thing as
they can certainly open your mind and show you other states of
consciousness, possibly helping you to remember some of your higher and
inter-dimensional aspects, but there is a risk
that using a drug once could cause serious damage that cannot be fixed
in this lifetime. It is a choice you make and you are responsible for
it, where ever it might lead. To keep on using drugs is always
bad for your subtle bodies and will not speed up your spiritual
transformation. It is best not to use drugs at all especially as you can
reach higher consciousness without them and clear all the pain that you
want to escape from. Drugs are not an escape but make things worse. With
spiritual practices you can escape for real, ecstasy can be yours.
