If drugs slow down e-transferrance and 'virally' corrupt the heavenly intermessaging system that maintains all life, why are drugs {illegal} exsistent in the first place such that such a tragedy of consciousness extinguishment may occur?
Avi
It is not a tragedy. It is a NATURAL PROCESS.
The primary reason for drugs to exist is The Freedom of Choice. Everything, good and bad has to exist, around you and within you, otherwise you wouldn't have the Freedom of Choice. Do you remember the chapter "The Ego"?
The second reason is that all negative things such as drugs are needed for the self-correcting mechanism of the Universe to function properly.
Let me explain. What we CHOOSE is determined and limited by our intellect. Do you remember the story of a dog?
Everyone (like the dog) is typically quite happy about making certain choices, otherwise they wouldn't make them. Some people choose drugs, simply because they cannot comprehend The Fun of alternatives such as development of intellect.
Note, that it is typically VERY difficult for a person to perceive his/her OWN degradation of consciousness, even if it is significant. It only becomes obvious in certain tests and observations, usually done by OTHER people who are sensitive and observant enough. Even a severe change in consciousness (such as memory loss in elderly people or a damage caused by prolonged use of hallucinogens) is difficult to observe by people themselves. You may even say that the more severe the damage to consciousness - the less aware the person becomes about the extent of this damage.
This explains why some people CONTINUE to make choices that cause their own destruction and explains why they are actually quite happy about making such choices.
Do you see the Magnificence and Beauty in such a self-correction mechanism of the Universe? Isn't it LOGICAL that Individual Intellects who choose to degrade their intellect, sensitivity and perception (a choice that clashes with The Purpose of the Universe) should eventually cease to exist?
Isn't it LOGICAL to make the provision in the Design for such people to execute their own destruction themselves?
Isn't it a MAGNIFICENT principle that such a "correction in the Universe" occurs as a result of The Freedom of Choice?
What do we say to people who INSIST on making certain choices? Shouldn't we let the Universe correct itself? "Resist NOT evil" is not just a strange ancient "advice". It expresses the fundamental DESIGN principle of the Universe... Evil is designed to eventually eliminate itself... Just as garbage - it decays and eventually disintegrates... Can you imagine a world in which garbage doesn't disintegrate?

I have a friend who is heavily into marajuana use, he has also taken a great interest in the whole astral projection/freedom/the book scene (sorry about trying to make it sound chic there). Im trying to persuade him to give up but its hard, his friend circle would never listen to the truth but still hold an influence over him. So anyway I need to find out if Marajuana is a hullacinogen, by which I mean does it project away the astral body, Im thinking perhaps if I can persuade him its actually causeing lifetimes of damage he may turn around. Maybe michael has said something to you about this. This issue seems to come up a lot on the forum, I think it would be helpful if more classification of projectable drugs was provided. Anyway thanks again for your continued help.love and light

Why do you need classification? Michel's method was to invite a person who smokes marihuana to play chess with him. The more the other person smoked - the faster Michel was winning.
Tom
One's own mind is supposed to control one's own body. Not plants.
The chess-game scenario makes me think that marijuana is a 'time-stopper'. So, a user's frame of observation is not at all hallucinogenic in the visual sense. I'm ok at chess but I havent' played in a while.
But certainly because one who is under its influence feels the effects of 'freezing in time,' it must be that it is in fact a hallucinogen because of its 'ability' to manipulate this when it's active ingredient is deposited, and 'hacks' the human mind ...
Thus, to vaguely interpret this from an as-yet untested hypothesis {guided by information from these books, of course}, human interaction becomes distorted {due to you-know-what, I've talked about it like 5 times now!} because the physical body is muffeled and hence the psychological 'body' must interpret through a distorted personality-spacetime reference. As a result, false information 'infects' the 'psyche' because it has no choice {due to the mechanism, which is what I'm really curious about, in terms of how to explain it}.
I suppose it's simpler to just say that drugs make you stupid, watch out. [Avi]
Inspite of all written, i've been witnessed overand over again, that people using marijuanaturn to become intrested in their own self beingand in the existance, as well as the extreme creativity that comes along with the otheraffections of that drug.
Many researches had proven that Marijuanadoes'nt cause any permanent *physycal* damage to the brain so, i can see the usage of Marijuanapositive in a way.

The fact that a hard disk in your computer is not physically damaged doesn't guarantee the proper functioning of your computer.
As you know, "viruses" and other clutter CAN and DO make computers entirely USELESS. The hardware is useless without the correct INFORMATION.
Drugs are known to remove inhibitions. What results is not so much "creativity" but a return to primitive animal instincts combined with progressive loss of intelligence.
Ask yourself: what do people on drugs ACHIEVE?Note that ignorants in a company of other ignorants are NOT AWARE of the extent of their ignorance. There is NO CONTRAST.
The less intelligent you become (as a result of distorting your perception with drugs) the less you are aware of it. This is a very cleverly designed Self-Correcting mechanism of the Universe. It ensures that ignorants eliminate themselves.
You have been warned. Now you have The Freedom of Choice to do whatever you choose.

In reading about marijuana which i am a frequent visitor of and recently in the past couple of weeks i have become very interested in this site along with thiaoouba, and in regard to this issue I do find that function slows but creativity is sparked. Although this may be the case in images of the brain someone who uses marijuana does show 'craters' of the brain so to speak. In regard to the 'craters' you would need someone who only used marijuana and no other drugs which will hardly ever be the case, so this picture may not be accurate. Upon investigating things for myself i have decided to stop the current path i am following and choose to spiritually enlighten myself. But as for the matter of marijuana regarded as a drug, I also believe it is regression not progression, this coming from someone not at the age of 18 yet.

If you want a proof what drugs do to human awareness please study the message of Mojo in detail.
Spirituality is not about the lack of clarity and coherence in thinking. Only those who aim in the exactly the opposite direction can make spiritual progress.
Mojo, perhaps you are not yet aware of the damage you have already done to yourself. If you understand what we talk about here, consider stopping the use of perception altering substances as soon as possible. Ask your Higher Self for help. If you sincerely mean it, you will be helped.
Tom
Not to be rude but in the matter of pointing things out, maybe you should be the one to reread what i said, i understand what i have done to myself and the damage it has done and that is why i have stopped the use of them, that is what i meant by changing my path and try to enlighten myself because i feel that my mind has had a regression but i would like to progress so that is why i have chosen what i find to be the right path this time and stop my drug usage. Sorry, again, if any of this came of rude.

Thank you Mojo for sharing your experiences here at this Forum. You can be sure that your efforts will help and inspire many people.
Just continue to work on improving yourself.
