"You
know that it would be untrue ... you know that I would be a liar ... if I was to
say to you ... girl we couldn't get MUCH HIGHER ..."
Is the desire to "get high" actually a bad thing? Perhaps it's not? Perhaps
the Creative Order itself wanted us to get - much, much higher? How do we do it?
And how can we get high - and save money, sanity and happiness in the process?
These and many other questions are good questions indeed. Read on ...
I am one of those people who likes to be off their head as much as they like
to be - whatever the opposite of being off your head would be.
As a result of this and my advanced age, I've had some experience with substance
induced altered states over the years, and I've always been fascinated by not
just the contents of these experiences, but also the structure because each
substance very much brings its own universe to the party, and whatever
experiences you are having are dependent on that structural precept and can only
take place within this context, and not outside of it.
Now much debate could be had if meditation, energy work and hypnosis related
trips, states and phenomena are not also substance related, only in this case,
the body manufactures them for you and you don't have to buy them from a drug
dealer; suffice to say that those kinds of trips have also fascinated me deeply
and I've practised them heavily once I became aware they exist.
And one night it came to pass that whilst doing some magic mushrooms, the
experience engendered by the mushrooms was actually pale and miserable in
comparison to what I could do without them.
That was amazing, a real turning point.
Before that happened, I had literally no idea that your own personal internal
representations could be SO MUCH BETTER on every level than substance trips -
brighter, more colourful, more sharply defined, much more lucid, and a whole lot
more weird, as well!
I did not know that the HUMAN MIND could trip like that - all by itself.
How you get there, to that place where something happens and you must be
producing your own hallucinogenics in the right dosage to catapult you across
the thresholds of normal time and space, is clearly not something that is well
understood or well known by humanity at large.
There would be NO glue sniffing, no heroin abuse, no weed smoking if people knew
how to do that. There would be no need at all, and the benefits and lack of side
effects, and not least of all, the PRICE DIFFERENCE! would clearly turn the tide
in "the war on drugs".
But people don't know that.
They don't know that when someone says, "You can get high on Jesus", it actually
means exactly that - HIGH. High as a kite. TOTALLY off your face. Swimming like
dolphins in the rainbowlightfalls of everything and communing with angels in the
mesh of everything. Wa-a-a-sted in the extreme.
I'd even put forth the propositions that the people who WOULD say "you can get
high on Jesus" don't even mean that kind of totally hallucinogenic trip to the
otherworlds either, because they don't know this is possible from their end, and
they just think grinning a bit and clapping and "feeling the love" is where it's
at.
Let me be perfectly clear - that's all very nice, but it is NOT "getting high".
1. People can get SERIOUSLY high from within their own neurology, without ANY
outside stimulus or outside substance coming into play.
2. Nobody knows this.
3. Because no-one has experienced this for themselves, they believe it doesn't
exist (like virgins with orgasms).
4. Thus it is that people believe they NEED substances to get high - and thus
can't get high without them, conversely.
This No. 4 is interesting because in many modernised shamanic approaches, the
idea is that you use these substances as a kind of training bike extra set of
wheels - you learn to do it with substances, and then that translates eventually
to doing it without them.
I do believe that this is an erroneous supposition - it's wrong.
The entry point to the whole realm of tripping the light fantastic through YOUR
OWN NEUROLOGY is a specific pathway, it requires a certain set of pre-existing
conditions.
We have to be in a certain place to go to a certain other place, if you will.
Drugs and hallucinogenic substances such as mushrooms, amphetamines, LSD etc
create a totally different state and place which is nowhere near where you would
have to be to engage your own internal drug factories.
They take you to Borneo when your own drug factory is located in Boise, Idaho.
It would have been a whole lot easier if you HADN'T taken the trip to Borneo and
just started exploring the town around you - you would have found the factory
eventually.
To get back from Borneo, especially if the LAST PLACE YOU THINK YOUR HIGHS ARE
AT, is in Boise, a few hundred yards behind your father's house, is pretty much
impossible.
It's lightyears apart.
So: If you want to get REALLY high, big time, don't take drugs. They take you to
their own place and away from yours.
Q: But real Shamans have used drugs for millennia to have special
experiences?
A: Real Shamans also used to hang themselves from trees by their nipples to
cause breakthrough experiences that were SELF GENERATED. Once your own internal
drug factory comes online, you can choose from there to interact with substances
to get their special twist on the situation for specific purposes.
So you if you really want to be a "real" Shaman, there's a tree, and here's the
nipple hooks. Off you go ...
Interestingly enough, I didn't ever meditate. I couldn't get into it. My mind
goes at superfast speeds all the time and just sitting there, staring at the
wall, was driving me crazy and got me nowhere.
But I am really good at fantasizing.
It is that ability that I began to practise more and more deliberately as I got
older because it was so much fun, it was working WITH my mind and not against
it, and wonderful visions, insights, feelings and experiences could be had.
At first, I was fantasizing about simple things like everyone does - a bit of
daydreaming, thinking about a house you might like, a landscape you find
attractive, playing around with memories, remembering stories and movies and
stepping into them ...
If you practise your fantasy, it comes on line and it gets better, and better.
If you pay attention, you can FEEL things soon enough - think about that yacht
on the clear blue ocean, can you FEEL the movement of the waves, the wind in
your hair, the sun on your arms?
At some point, there seems to exist a kind of barrier to taking this any
further. We get scared or hit a reversal - and we bounce out of the experience.
With the help of energy techniques like EFT and EmoTrance, and the beautiful
Project Sanctuary which is structurally designed to overcome this "bounce out
barrier" in its own way, I was able to stay longer, and enter more deeply into
the fantasy.
THAT is the ability you need to really start tripping in your mind.
Now, take control of the fantasy. Learn to fly. Not as easy as it may seem,
especially when everything has become so extremely REAL by now that you can
feel, sense, smell, touch and experience the fantasy state of the lucid day
dream just as profoundly as you would experience a visit to the dentist's in
the hard.
With practice, this becomes more and more fascinating.
You learn the limitations of your expectations of what you can do without
gravity, free of time or space - we bring our hard learnings with us when we
enter this dreamtime realm and we need to learn to shed it here.
As we do, more and more magic becomes apparent; more and more is revealed; more
and more is seen.
It stays directive - you retain awareness, that's the lucidity part which drugs
just cannot match to that degree. You KNOW what you are experiencing, what you
are learning. And you can choose where you want to go, and what you want to
see/hear/feel/do/find out/try out/experience on this occasion.
Here, you can learn to melt objects into their energetic realities much more
precisely and without that terrifying loss of reality that accompanies LSD
trips.
Here, you can morph yourself until your resonance is a match to the green
consciousness and communicate with it directly without that worrying madness
that accompanies mushroom trips.
Here, you can shift into the crystalline states of absolute clarity and the most
brilliant and brutal logic imaginable - without the twist of madness and racing
obsession that comes with the use of amphetamines.
The external substances only MIMIC states that we arrive at when our own
internal body chemistry goes to work and produces that what is needed to make
that shift - but without the added toxicity or even general existence of the
external substance.
Clear dreams. Incredible lucidity. And it gets BETTER the more you do it - it is
exactly the opposite of needing more and more drugs to get the same effect. As
you learn to use your internal highs, you become more and more sensitive, more
and more attuned, and you get higher and higher, faster and faster as you get
BETTER AT IT.
It's perfect.
I even have the feeling that the Creative Order gave us this
incredible present, namely that we are ALL STRUCTURALLY ABLE TO DO THIS by
ourselves, no matter where or what or when, so that we USE THIS, and gain
something important from it.
I think that the quest of people wanting to get off their heads any which way
they can is linked to a primal drive towards these INCREDIBLE highs and what you
learn and experience about the world there.
It changes your world completely.
Getting high like this changes - everything.
It makes the world and all our life into an extraordinary mystery of which we
are a part, and which we can join into, and ENJOY at will.
At WILL.
Without having to rob an old lady first to pay a drug dealer.
Without loss of health or intelligence - the absolute opposite, in fact, getting
high is the ultimate form of healing and resolution to all life's major problems
for the individual.
We are designed to get high - really, REALLY HIGH, by nature.
The experiences you have when you get high like this from within your own
neurology and in the absence of outside agents are INCREDIBLY PRECIOUS,
INCREDIBLY VALUABLE, and probably even desperately needed to become a fully
functional human adult as designed by the Creative Order.
People who seek "to get off their heads" might be righter than they ever knew -
but sadly, they're going about it the wrong way.
The key to really getting high is through FANTASY and the deliberate
practise of fantasy.
Everyone can start to learn to do this at any time they choose; you are never
too old, never too young, nor ever to broken to start FANTASIZING FOR REAL.
You just need to make the decision to take the time to fantasize during the day,
preferably when you're still fresh like first thing in the morning, use EFT or
EmoTrance to help with any feelings of fear that can bounce you out, or general
reversals (this expedites things greatly!), and aim for making your fantasies as
real as you can, working on making them realler, and realler.
That's the way forward to the day when you, like I did that night, amaze
yourself that your self experienced highs are now better by far than anything
you've ever done with drugs before.
"You
know that it would be untrue ... you know that I would be a liar ... if I was to
say to you ... girl we couldn't get MUCH HIGHER ..."
