The allure of exploring higher states of consciousness has captivated many throughout history. From young seekers of spiritual awakening to intellectuals intrigued by the metaphysical, the desire to experience something beyond the mundane drives many toward practices that promise such enlightenment. While traditional spiritual practices like meditation and sadhana have long been the path to such experiences, the modern world has seen a rise in the use of drugs as a shortcut to reach these altered states.



Drug Induced Spirituality

Drugs like LSD, cannabis, magic mushrooms, and Ayahuasca have become popular not only for recreational use but also for their ability to induce euphoric states, altered perceptions, and a heightened sense of connection with the universe. These substances can indeed open doors to mystical experiences that resonate with those achieved through deep spiritual practice. However, the consequences of this shortcut are far more alarming than the initial high might suggest.

From a metaphysical standpoint, the use of such drugs can have a profound impact not just on the physical body, but on the subtle bodies—the astral, etheric, and light bodies that connect us to higher dimensions of existence. The state of consciousness induced by these substances is often intense and immediate, raising vibrations to levels that might take years of spiritual practice to achieve. This sudden elevation can result in the downloading of mystical messages and insights, which may inflate the ego to dangerous levels.

However, once the effects of the drug wear off, the real challenge begins. The light body, which briefly connected to these higher frequencies, starts to retreat to its previous state, while the astral body slows down. The ego, now accustomed to the high vibrations, resists returning to lower frequencies, leading to a struggle that manifests in severe mood swings, deep anger, fear, and even hallucinations. What medical professionals often diagnose as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia may, in some cases, be the result of this internal chaos triggered by drug use.

The path back to balance is difficult. Repairing the damage done to the subtle bodies and the nervous system requires time, patience, and the right kind of spiritual practices. It is a slow process, but not an impossible one. However, the dangers of trying to shortcut the journey to higher consciousness through drugs cannot be overstated. Prolonged use can lead to permanent disconnection from the etheric body, resulting in a loss that is beyond repair.

Experiencing higher states of consciousness through drugs may offer a glimpse into the mystical, but it comes at a significant cost. The choice between reaching these states through proper, time-tested practices or through substances that can damage your subtle bodies is a profound one. There is no shortcut in life, and the journey to true enlightenment requires patience, discipline, and respect for the delicate balance of our being.

This perspective comes from my own experience in healing those who have suffered from drug abuse. It’s a reminder that while the path to higher consciousness is one of the most rewarding journeys one can undertake, it must also be approached with care and reverence. The choice is yours, but remember, the true path to enlightenment lies in the journey, not in the shortcuts.
