I am with OutOfBodyDude on this, and Ralph. I went to Woodstock, and cannot even estimate the number of psychedelic experiences I had in the 60's and 70's. I know no one who ever had any lasting effects or flashbacks (darn it), except that those experiences changed them fundamentally, and the way they interacted with their reality. It certainly did that for me, and was the beginning of a path that has led WAAAAYYYY beyond Focus 27 or anything I learned at monroe Institute. I found my experiences with Salvia and Ayahuasca quite different that the others. I value these experiences, and would never talk down to anyone in judgement about their personal decision to use these substances for expansion.
But in general, if you only have a learner's permit it is best to leave the Ferrari alone.
But with all the Nutrasweet, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, white sugar, corn syrup and such---- how can you pretend you are not taking drugs? Food is medicine (drugs). Don't you think these substances bend your consciousness, too? And what about HAARP and EMF?
Build your light body however you find a way to do so. You will need it soon. Sooner than you think, friends.
There are many more such alchemical substances which have been made and used over the centuries. Psychoactive drugs are only one group. The Philosopher's Stone (yes, it exists) makes these things seem like Tylenol. There is more under Heaven and Earth than is dreamed of in our philosophies.....
Check out ORMUS
www.subtleenergies.com/ORMUSfor example. It induces the same hemispheric synchronization that binaural beats do, but with no headphones, no CHEK unit, no induced dream state.... just the expanded awareness with your eyes open, right here in C-1. And no psychoactivity.....
Yes, there are many toys here, and none by accident. At least for those of us that have eyes to see and ears to hear....
