There’s a shamanic approach to drugs and chemicals that leaves you wanting little else. I mean, these substances have been used for thousands of years to increase the connection to the spiritual, so why not?
And shamans are known to have spirit spouses, like some of us other black magicians have today. Does that makes me a shaman? Maybe in some ways. [/quote]Actually, you may be close to being a shaman than you think. Shamans learn from spirots to practice their craft. The only major difference is using herbs and having knowleshe of plants and the natural to perfect their healing craft. The parallels are thick.
[Quote]And because some shamans use drugs and chemicals to enhance their abilities to interact with spirits, doesn’t mean others must follow.
Like I said: Each to their own, but with all kind of drugs, some of these magicians might end up in an addiction. Not only because of the fantastic interaction with spirits, but for the simple means of getting there again, and again and again. Their tolerance for the drugs might grow, so they take a higher dosage each time, until the inevitable overdose smack them in their pineal glands.[/quote]
You dont have much experience with substances or know that much about them, do you?
You sound like a '70s PA about drugs. Only those using addicting substances will get addicted. But, its not like your first time doing adderall youll get a taste for it and need it again. The bluntong of effects can be staved by eother using enhancers like MAOIs or just taking a tolerance break.
In India, Sadhu are known to smoke marijuana as a simple prayer. One gains a tolerance if they dont keep their use in check, but its not like a month long tolerance break wont fix that issue in that short a stay. I often use Marianas to get I n contact with spirits- the effects are uncanny and heavy. It’s just a useful tool in the toolbox. Sure, it requires a bit of research and intelligence to use these tools- but that’s not like research is something that an occulist isn’t used to.
Depend, or simply enhance?
[Quote]What others do to interact with spirits is their businesses, but I would never teach someone else to use these methods.
I simply see it as an option, but I’m also a practiced psychonaut that researched drugs exponentially before I use them. Maybe you wouldn’t suggest someone to use certain enhancers, but the average person wouldn’t suggest one search for spiritual contact using ritual or having a sexual relationship with the spiritual in the first place.
We walk a thin line of stability. Honestly, summoning spirits seems more risky than using a psychedelic or amphetamine to achieve deeper concentration. Using them in combination isn’t necessarily suggested unless one has experience with both processes and has taken the necessary precautions(I suggest keeping a couple of benzos around incase if shit gets weird).
