LSD and allergy

[Guest guest]

It must be noted that LSD, as a synthesised form of

ergot, is ruled by Kali. There is no question that it

literally "expands" the mind! However, there must be a

mind there in the first place. Limited minds will

experienced limited benefit. Those whose minds are

well-furnished with knowledge and experience will

benefit immensely from an LSD trip. However, a

positive and uplifting "set and setting" are

absolutely crucial!

Interesting. I read (somewhere) the opinion of some scholar that Lord

Shiva rules over mild hallucinogens (hence his portrayal of smoking Ganja

and drinking Bhang). This "schowler" also insisted that Kali Devi ruled

over alcoholic binges and angry, drunken energy (hence her image of

angrily dancing after drinking the blood of Asuras).

 

Lord Indra was famous for his appreciation of Soma. We don't know for

certain what Soma was (some say fly agaric mushrooms). It was a

heavy-duty hallucinogen, and might be near LSD in effect. (Indra was an

example of not having much of a mind to expand, however...)

 

I'm also intrigued by the inages of Parvati Devi showing her holding a

datura flower (instead of the usual lotus), and of her son Ganesha

carrying a datura fruit or wood-apple in his trunk. Those who know claim

datura is very poisonous and its effects are scary. But apparently at

some point there was an hallucinogenic practice around Parvati and

Ganesha's worship.

Namaste Len,

Datura is still widely used in India as an offering (both external

and internal) to Lord Shiva. And the Datura fruit or flower is one

of Shiva's most potent emblems. So it is natural that Ganesha or

Parvati might be shown holding Datura, their "weapon" or sign of the

source of their ultimate power.

For more notes on Datura, Soma, etc., and especially their connexions

with Shiva, I invite you to view the following link:
