hello everyone
voice of corporate forces who bottom
whose bottom line
values are fundamentally contrary to
those
precepts and that work in consistently
to chain
you more deeply in delusion
much of your cultural entertainment and
spectator sports are also drugs of
distraction that can drain your energy
and certain relationships are as well
okay many of the compulsive habits may
be distractive drugs if you look
carefully perhaps by watching yourself
closely
you will discover helpful truths through
this difficult work your intuition is
fed
and will grow and flourish the deep
inner meaning of this precept is to
refrain from indulging
in the wine of delusion to stop
wandering
the world in a culturally indoctrinated
trance
and make an effort to awaken to the
wholeness that you are
the infinite beauty light and love that
you are
and the freedom joy and compassion that
you are
so i truly believe that but he doesn't
really
get into the real details of
why drugs and he never talked about
ayahuasca either which a lot of people
talk about nowadays
so my view on this
is just like what will tuttle says but
i'm going to add a few
a few points here so basically
we are when we are taking anything
from the outside that alters our state
of mind
or state of consciousness
or state of our bodies in any way
we are influencing that from outer
sources
now we should be doing all the work to
achieving some people call enlightenment
but i like to call it raising our
consciousness
and cultivating our intuition and so
basically we should be authentically
and organically cultivating our
intuition
and our spiritual minds through inner
work
now we shouldn't be getting anything
from external sources now some people
say
that it's because of external
sources like ayahuasca or
like ayahuasca or marijuana or mushrooms
or things like that
it is because of those things that have
enlightened somebody or given them
spiritual wisdom or
raised their consciousness in you know
you know further
but if we haven't done it
organically through inner meditation
and maybe connect connecting through
nature but
ultimately through inner meditation and
prayers
then we're ultimately getting it from
outside and we're relying on outside
sources
to get that spiritual
understanding or to cultivate that
spiritual understanding
so what we should be doing is to looking
within to seeking the answers within
ourselves rather than
getting it from external sources now i'm
not saying that
these things are not good that these
things cannot enlighten somebody
or cannot you know spiritually and lift
them in some way
but we ultimately need to stop looking
to the external world
except for nature to or for the answers
okay somebody who's just doing this
just taking these so-called psychedelic
drugs or more spiritually psychedelic
drugs
are trying to you know they're just
wanting to a quick fix basically
everybody wants a pill
or want something for a quick fix
and that's not how how it is really we
need to be
doing the inner work um and
trying to understand life in ourselves
and so forth so that's my whole
understanding on this
whole issue of drugs and again
if drugs are any kind of drug and i'm
talking about the
psychedelic mind-altering substances
if we do some of these mind altering
substances
sometimes if we're not in the right
frame of mind or we take too much of it
sometimes it could
harm us and even sometimes you can kill
us i've heard even heard stories of
how ayahuasca and other
mind altering substances can actually
kill
some people if they're not in the same
right frame of mind
or if they don't have someone guiding
them along the way that have that has
experience or if they take too much of
the substance or if it's not prepared
properly
or if they're just doing it for the fun
of it or things like that
so we have to also understand that a lot
of these things can be
harmful and negatively harmful and
really harmful or it can actually even
kill you
and um though i haven't done a lot of
these
highly um i should say
highly so-called spiritual mind-altering
substances like ayahuasca or even lsd
or things like that
i just think that we have to do it
naturally and we also have to understand
that we don't really know what the
effect is on our bodies
if it's a good or bad thing because it
has a good or a bad effect on our bodies
i mean yes a lot of these are plant
derived
and yes a lot of these may be
natural or organic but that doesn't
mean a thing you know so that's my view
on this whole
issue on psychedelics or drugs or
mind altering substances or things like
that
and also what will tuttle has to say
about this
i'm going to also post down the book
below of the book called your inner
islands by will tuttle

written in 2005.
