At first i thought it might be better to not respond to your reply Gman, but then i thought it might be a good teaching moment. Not for you necessarily, but perhaps to those on the fence so to speak. Besides, my moralistic, impersonal sermonizing would probably irritate you more than engaging in similar personal, confrontational interaction...
I don't always like criticism at first, but if it's related to my behavior, and/or comes from someone who feels sincere and positively intentioned, i try to be open minded/hearted to what they are saying.
While i'm not fully certain what your intentions are, they don't feel particularly positive in essence. Feels more like belittling for the sake of belittling. I've learned that those that partake in a consistent pattern of criticism of others in a purely personal sense (just making it about the person and their supposed lacks), and not so much disagreeing or differing with the ideas, beliefs, etc well the criticism they offer is usually more of reflection of themselves and their shadow than the person they are criticizing.
But to answer your specific allegations: I make a strong effort to treat the temple that i currently use, well, because i know that a clear, healthy, and balanced temple allows my consciousness to flow through and into the physical more purely and with less distortions.
For me, this is and has been a very holistic process. I ingest very little in the way of "substances" of which you imply, including almost no caffeine and pharmaceuticals. I do occasionally drink a little dark beer and red wine, and very, very rarely--once in a rare blue moon socially vaporize a little weed with some friends. I don't like being over extreme or puritanical in any area. I've probably vaporized about 3 or 4 times in the last couple of years. In my case, it is neither a plus, nor a detriment. It's little different than Yeshua drinking some occasional wine at social functions like weddings. It had no power over him, and little effect on him. It was a social act/interaction and that's it.
But generally speaking, i eat and live a lifestyle that is pretty disciplined, healthy, and pure in the consistent sense. Both life and guidance has steered me in that direction for various reasons.
So i'll have to contradict you, my seeming out thereness in that and other posts doesn't come from any kind of chemical substance. It comes from a complex admixture of experiences, intuition, more overt guidance, being led to certain outer sources by guidance, and above all growing in Love.
The more you grow in Love, the more your perception tends to expand. If there is a pinnacle of same, i have not yet reached it, so i don't doubt there are distortions and limiting factors to some of what i say. This is why i also recommend for people to directly attune to expanded guidance themselves.
But giving out general info that is mostly accurate is ok. It's when one tries to direct the personal life of others in a more personal sense, that they start to run into more potential problems, and best be more sure that self is coming from the most clear and expanded space. I'm still trying to figure out if doing that with Bruce re: the negative E.T. issue was a constructive or non constructive choice/pattern or not. Sometimes it's hard knowing what the most expanded way really is.
Anyways George, hope you enjoyed the sermon. Remember, cleverness is never a good substitute for empathy. It's a hard lesson for especially older, intellectual men to get, but worthwhile before they leave this area of reality.
