Marijuana Use

[Rastus]

most drugs leave signs in an Aura.  Don't even get me started on Anti-Depressants and the metaphysical side affects.

Marijuanna is like Nitrous Oxide on a car.  If you prepare the car, then you get more power and speed.  If you try it on an old rust bucket, it will probably blow up.  Under controlled circumstances it has quite interesting affects.  Abused it will eat you alive, metaphysically speaking.

I tried the "more is better" theory one weekend (alone I might add, neat trick with a wife and kids).  More is NOT better.  More is much much worse.  Absolutely no ability to focus.  Think about the ramifications, and it should disuade you from trying it.  Less is better.  Wholistically style works very well.  I'm talking about 1/2 toke to really jumpstart energy.  Since a typical joint has....10-12 tokes in it, I'm talking 1/24th to 1/48th of a joint.  

We are talking about Energy here, not being comfortably numb.....

Hey Rastus,

"Abused it will eat you alive, metaphysically speaking."

Could you expand on this a little for me? I am interested to hear what you have to say. Oh, and I would also like to get you started on anti-depressants, so feel free to rant away! Aside - the friend I mentioned with depression, was on anti-depressants, might be now not sure. He dropped out of our uni course for a year off, totally stopped taking any drugs like alcohol or pot. Last time I saw him he said "well, I'm feeling much better now that I have started drinking and smoking again". lol, made me think anyway....

Oooooooooookay.  Imagine if you could really build up power, I mean inferno style!  Cool eh?  Now imagine you have no abilitly to focus, center, or ground yourself.  Don't forget being absent minded.  You are now the premiere NEG magnet.  That's not counting any Aura rotting.  Or APing with dimished defenses of the flesh while flashing an energy lighthouse.

Brrrrrr, Anti-Depressants.  Paxil was like being wrapped in a Metaphysical blanket.  Couldn't raise pwer, couldn't see Astrally worth a dam, couldn't project power, It was a Metaphysical prison.  

Wellbutrin made me Manic.  Also made me angry and somewhat homicidal.  Now you have an angry Metaphysicist with major attitude and no compassion.  A healer to boot, with no morals.  Think of the really nasty things you could do.....  Oh yeah, and your still depressed.

Remoron was the strangest.  I wasn't "me".  Most of us can appreciate the significance of that, but it scared my wife into tears when she first saw 'me' on it.  All I can vividly remember was a compulsion to stop taking it.

Effexor was actually useful.  It fought off the chemical depression long enough for me to focus and center.  The moment I could ground and raise power I stopped taking it (no need at that point).  Took it maybe 20 days?  6 days to build up in the blood, about a week to be Metaphysically active, then a few days to work on myself and Voila' I'm healed.  I give credit to my HigherSelf for Metaphysically slapping the snot out of the fleshie me and leaving some sense behind []

well, yeah, me and drug experiments go way back (mostly Pot). I can't attest for other hallucinagens, but for the most part i would say drugs aren't good for much of anything. Pot USED to be fun years ago when the sensations were new and exciting, but the effect wears off, and eventually people (including me) got to doing it every day. That is just addiction (if not chemical then psychological). It DOES weaken the aura, and it allows holes where negs leech off your energy. Your personal energy that could otherwise be used to better yourself mentally, spiritually and physically is instead used to feed other entities.

Now, that said, moderation in all things is a good way to live. A joint here and there won't kill you, i don't even think it will hurt you. But it's all a matter of willpower and peer pressure and where in someones life they are at the present. A young person who has never experienced much with drugs is more likely to go gung ho with them, more than an older person who has been around the block and is more in touch with their inner selves.

Personally pot doesn't do much for me now other than give me the munchies and plunk me in front of a TV. It USED to give me wild and creative ideas, but for some reason that completely stopped, so now it's just a waste of time and money.

Notes about marijuana use.

First of all, it does not burn out the etheric body, in fact, it seems to strengthen it very (providing on does asanas and pranyama). I noticed that smoking causes a surge of prana in the body. It also enhances consciousness and thinking making it seem "thicker". It does have some negative aspects though, mainly memory related. But I find it's a great tool to use to find out the state of your subtle bodies, remember that it doesnt really do anything to your subtle body except charge it up with prana. I've noticed that pranayama exercises are really good while smoking marijuana, it distributes the energy (which you can really feel) to your body, and in my case, i can really notice a difference in my subtle anatomy that last even after the smoking session.

I am currently doing research right now with different techniques, different intakes and different substances to analyze and try to understand their effect on mainly the astral and etheric bodies.

I'm new here, but you'll see me more often

Peace

This may be your personal experience, but it's not the average one.

For a young, vibrant person who is active at yoga and has not smoked pot for very long, it may take considerably longer for the corrosive effects to manifest upon the auric sheath. But it will happen eventually with continued, frequent use.

I watched it in myself (20 years ago) and I've watched it happen over time with many other people I know. It's like acid on the etheric sheath, which is by the way, connected with the faculty of memory. Hmmmm....

Stuart Wilde says that "pot rots your etheric".

As if use punctures holes in the energy/astral body.

I really value the moderators (and senior members) opinions on these topics, so I'd greatly appreciate your input.
