As I said, I simply can't see into the full consequences of such micro usage so I don't know if they can be used as a supplement in a healthy way. Certainly, the primary concern is the overreliance that you mention. We humans are in general so weak that such concerns shouldn't be dismissed lightly. Such reliance can build up slowly and unnoticeably.AshvinP wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 1:57 pm Cleric,
Thanks for sharing this valuable insight. This is something I have been thinking about lately, especially since I came across one of your previous posts where you spoke about experimenting with mushrooms after some time. You mentioned that there wasn't a noticeable change in your mode of consciousness, even though some of psychedelic visual effects remained.
I can't say that I am quite following your reasoning for the "no" above, though. Let's say that we focus on developing healthy and pure spiritual habits of WFT conduct. Now, without deviating from those habits, we complement them by adjusting our diet in ways that could help loosen the bodies, for ex. by microdosing mushrooms (or perhaps using CBD?). What would be the risk here? It seems the primary risk with such things is developing an overreliance on them to the point where we feel our ordinary self is no longer up to the task by uniting faithfully with the Christ impulse, as you pointed out. But, as you also pointed out, we could theoretically say that about any changes in body-soul-spirit habits and routines that we make on the path of higher development. Maybe I develop an overreliance on taking a walk outside in nature every day. Is there something that particularly increases the risk when it comes to ingesting these sorts of substances, even in microdoses without the 'high'?
Another thing that I can confirm from my experience is that each substance (I have experience only with natural sources - plants and mushrooms, not with synthetics) connects us with elemental beings and the group soul of the plant/mushroom. This is well confirmed by almost everyone with extensive experience with such things in more spiritual settings. They speak of Mother Ayahuasca, the Spirit of the Mushroom and so on. In the Cosmos, where everything is reflected in everything, there's no such thing as 'just a substance'. Through it we enter into relations with the whole chain of beings through which the substance can exist.
Terrence McKenna has spoken about the mushroom as a Cosmic spirit that disseminates its spores into worlds. Then as the mushrooms are consumed by beings with sufficiently developed consciousness, such as humans, they become practically organs through which the mushroom spirit reflects its own consciousness. This is of course presented by TM in a very twisted way and it looks like this mushroom spirit is the original creator of life. This only shows how one-sided the conclusions can be from such experiences unsubstantiated by deeper self-knowledge. But nevertheless, I think there's truth to the idea that these group beings seek their consciousness through human beings that consume them.
In any case, the effects of the plants and mushrooms always has e specific tint, there's something characteristic present in the aura of the experience. I guess that even with micro dosing, such specific hue will be present as constant background, which reflects our union with the group being. Whether this is very detrimental - I don't know.
It is interesting what DMT's case could be (which I have no experience with), since it is present endogenously in us. We're only increasing its concentration so to speak. But as said, there's no such thing as 'just a substance'. I would guess that even then we become united with certain Ahr spirits, which are responsible for the whole development of chemistry, leading to the ability to synthesize this molecule in the laboratory.
