Please talk about mind altering drugs related to spirituality.
 

EQ:  We like this phrase.  We must say we like this phrase because it is in here, and we like it because thee are all familiar with this phrase.  Once upon a time on Terra human kind began to believe in their limits instead of their limitlessness, is this not so?  When an entity believes in limits, then he looks outside himself for something to expand those limits, is this not so?  And what dost thou think this could be?

Drugs?

EQ:  Does that not expand thy limits?

There are a lot that do that.

EQ:  But can thee not do this thyself?

Yes, and even on a better plane, don’t you think?

EQ:  It is not about better or worse.  Remember there is only the fact.  It is not the fact that it is good or bad; it is only what thee do with this thing.  Certainly if someone can not live without it anymore, and it is creating problems, then this would be considered by this entity or the entities around them as bad, is this not so? But let us say that an entity, because they do not trust their own ability to reach other planes and other consciousnesses, because they do not trust their ability, they can find ways to do it via this tool, and they only do it then and very rarely, is this bad?  Is this wrong?  Only if it is hurting them.  What is - and we do not want the word bad or wrong - but what is non-essential is the drug, because thee can do it on thy own. But as long as thee, again, give thy power to a belief: "I am limited," then thee will have that belief manifested.  Haven’t we said this before?  Haven’t we said to thee that until thy planet consciousness believed it could fly it did not matter how many people proved it?  It did not happen.  And then it did.  And look at where thee have gone in such a short time, because thy belief changed.  If thee begin to believe thy mind is limitless and begin to act as though this be truth, it is.  And thee do not need aids to have the same effect as thee can do thyself.  For, let us ask thee this: what dost thou think this drug does?

It alters your state.

EQ:  How?

It depends on the drug.  It’s a chemical thing.

EQ:  Yes, exactly.  It alters thy brain chemical.  It creates more of a chemical - it does not create - it activates something that creates more of a particular chemical or depletes more of a particular chemical, is this not so?  Can thee not do this thyself?  Can thee not heal thyself?  And what is that?  Is thy body not electrical and chemical based?

Yes.

EQ:  Can thee not control this thing?

Yes.

EQ:  Without drugs?

Yes.

EQ:  It is that simple.  But, as long as thy consciousness believes that, or - some of the entities that know thee better than we do just said, "Or, thee are insistent upon being as lazy as possible."  Which, is that not lazy?  Thee are coming to consciousness the easy way?

I’ve heard it referred to as taking the helicopter to the top of the mountain instead of climbing the mountain yourself.

EQ:  Very good.  And what dost thou learn that way?

Not as much.  You miss a whole lot along the way.

EQ:  We would say yes.  So, is it not so that many entities that choose to take the helicopter can’t handle the apex of their journey?  But if thee struggle to get there, have thee heard of anyone who has struggled to get there not loving…

Their journey?

EQ:  And the end result?

But it’s the whole struggle thing that we, as humans, look at as a pain in the rear.

EQ:  This is because thee are not seeing the joy of the journey.  If thee go for a walk in a beauteous park, isn’t wonderful to look around, to look around thee, see the animals, the plants, the sun, the waters, to breathe it in, to sense it?

Yes.

EQ:  Ok.  Now, would it be as wonderful if thee were just transported to the end of that walk?

I guess it all depends on what we saw before we got there.

EQ:  And that is choice.  That is a choice.  If thee are focusing on the mugging going on behind that tree, which a lot of entities do, do they not?  If thee focus on the terrain being a little more rocky than perhaps thee chose, or if thee focus on, "Oh, I remember when this was much more beautiful,"  then thee are not going to enjoy the trip.  And this is what entities on Terra do and as an excuse to take the helicopter.  This is what we refer to as lazy.

What about those who, for example, I know a person who was in the hospital and they were given morphine and they were hallucinating.  Now they weren’t purposely trying to go there, but they went there and they saw some things.

EQ:  Wondrous.

That was dimensions, right?

EQ:  Or was it?  See, this is the thing that thee need to understand.  When thee are chemically altering thyself, thee will never know if what thee saw were chemically induced or reality.  And thee will never know.  No matter how much thee try to convince thyself that it was reality, there will always be a part of thee that says, "But was it?"  But when thee have an experience thee have worked toward, thee have done much work to get to, then thee know when thee have had it.  Oh!  Ok.  For instance, if thee are making love and thee take an hour to explore each other’s bodies, the orgasm is even more wondrous, is it not?  But if it’s just wham, bam, thank thee ma’am, isn’t this wondrous.  It is still an orgasm.  Or if thee chemically induce one and thee do it alone, is it as wondrous?  It is the same thing, but one way it is the exploration that makes it so great.  The other way is being lazy.

I think there is a lot you don’t learn about yourself and what you’re capable of if you don’t climb the mountain.

EQ:  Yes.  Did we not tell thee that thee were here specifically to bring back information to the Source?

Yes.

EQ:  If you’re not getting any, what are thee doing?

Oh, just hanging out.

EQ:  This is fine.  We believe, perhaps, the Source is valuing that too.  We are not the Source, we are only a piece as thee are, but we can say unto thee we believe it would be more appreciated if thee were having experiences.

And really good ones.

EQ:  There is no good or bad.  It is just to experience.  If instead thee are locked up and thee are too afraid to move, all the experience the Source gets then is fear.

If all Terrans live in fear and frustration…

EQ:  Not all Terrans, but the majority.

If it overwhelms the joyous part, and we bring all this fear and frustration to the Source, can it ultimately ever alter the Source?

EQ:  No.

So how can the Source deal with it?

EQ:  Because the Source makes no judgements.  It is thee that judge.  The Source just recognizes everything as energy.

But you said that the Source would appreciate experiences.  Isn’t that judgement?

EQ:  It is thy judgement, dost thou understand?

No.

EQ:  If thee are doing nothing, what usually occurs?

Nothing.

EQ:  And what happens to thee when thee are doing nothing?

You get miserable I think.

EQ:  And bored.  Do thee not get bored?  This is why thee left the Source to begin with was boredom.  So, if thee are doing nothing, thee only feel boredom.  The Source will take it.  It is not as wondrous for thee.  And if thee are here to have experiences to take back, then thee have a choice as to wondrous experiences or not so wondrous experiences, but it is thy judgement, not the Source’s.  It is all energy, is it not?
