Substances and Kundalini

[Guest guest]

Dear Gill,

I went through a period in the late seventies where I experimented

with LSD and peyote in an attempt to arouse greater spiritual

awareness and release from 'myself' to find 'myself'. I had awesome

visions, extraordinary perceptions and a profound sense of having

unlocked a hidden door. I came to realize that this method only gave

me 'pseudo-ecstacy', which was temporary, fleeting and not entirely

valid in the most deeper truths I've come to know through kriya yoga.

Indeed, it seemed to unlock some doors and urged me to find the

ultimate truth, but I feel as though the drugs kept a veil over my

eyes due to the uncertainty involved as to what they could bring

about. The great truths and kundalini awakening that I now experience

has led to profound peace, a certainty in my knowing that all truth

is inside me, is me ultimately, and does not need any outer pushes to

be found. Actually, that is not entirely true, as I've found that

just standing and stirring an onion soup for my children, when we had

very little to eat, led me to an over-whelming experience in absolute

bliss and surrender to love. What I guess I'm trying to say is this:

that purity of body, mind and soul are the blackboard that God writes

His most beautiful truths. I humbly offer my apologies if I have in

any way offended you. I admire your courage in seeking realization,

in any manner. May God bless you for such honesty about your search.

Thank you for sharing this.

In Divine Friendship,

Mazie

Dear Mazie,

 

Thank you for telling me your story. No offence taken, believe me,

but I think perhaps this was a step on my path just as it was for

you back in the seventies... all I know right now is that I'm very

thankful that I had the experience.
