Do
No Harm? In our competitive culture, it is difficult to maintain
personal conduct compatible with the higher ideals of love and compassion.
Less self-absorption and more concern for the greater good, according
to the psychology of transformation can be accelerated: by practices
of self discipline, through personal reflection, through the administration
of entheogens and at times by involuntary shocks to the system. These
activities all share the common denominator of changing the invisible
backdrop - known in esoteric language as the vibration. While conventional
science does not recognize the vibratory essence or state of being of
a person, there can be no question that life offers unlimited experiences
of unique flavor, memory and effect, and that these nuances impact our
whole being to determine perception and therefore behavior. In the ancient
teaching of the Science of Vibration, to fine tune one's own life energy
purposefully and to blend it into a harmonious unity is descriptive
of a more peaceful, less worried, more accepting and less distracted
personality, without hidden agendas and therefore naturally emanating
concern with/for the greater good, born from love and compassion. |

Throughout the annals of recorded history all over the world, marijuana has served as a gentle, reliable and sure way to open channels of awareness. | ||
Marijuana has been a constant companion to those with spiritual leanings for thousands of years, having been most revered in the teachings of the Indian Vedas where it was called "gift of the gods." It might just as appropriately been called the "breath of life" since ultimately the Marijuana Experience is enhancement and expansion of the breathing pattern from which the physical, psychological and even the spiritual aspects of life are elevated. There are enormous benefits to the human organism garnered from the long-term regular utilization of marijuana stemming directly from its innate, near-instantaneous effect of releasing tension in the pattern of the breath. According to Eastern Philosophy, freedom and fullness of the entire breathing mechanism defines well-being, and the patterns themselves affect our emotions and in turn our states of being. This is a mammoth topic in itself and volumes of Indian Philosophy are taught concerning the wide-spectrum and deeply imbedded extent that the "Breath" holds over our consciousness.... |
