Opium Den
in Spirituality ·
As for other substances, I have only ever dealt with them on a very superficial level.
I want to take this opportunity to debunk one particularly idiotic, hippie-inspired, flowery superstition:
Drugs cannot open your chakras, grant you enlightenment, or awaken your kundalini.
What they *can* do is induce a specific type of altered state of consciousness, where you might eventually be able to attempt those things... but it won’t be any easier than doing it without them, let alone providing an "instant" fix 😂.
And honestly, the risk of just completely messing everything up increases slightly...
Consider the simple fact that even sober people—no matter how much they claim to be "working on themselves"—frequently fall into patterns of alienation from their own true selves, or find themselves desperately trying to shield themselves from the sheer absurdity of their own behavior.
And no, it doesn't require any wild, acrobatic mental gymnastics to see that truth.
