[quote:Anonymous Coward 12244660:MV8xODMwMDQ1XzMwNDg4NzY3X0RDODNGRUVD] [quote:William_the_Bloody:MV8xODMwMDQ1XzMwNDg4Njg1X0FEQ0NEODc5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 12244660:MV8xODMwMDQ1XzMwNDg4NDExXzc4RTc3MzQ3] You're shilling the idea that select drugs cannot be used to reach a spiritually enlightening place, when in fact, anyone who actually does practice the very tenants of Shamanism would be able to tell you otherwise wholeheartedly. Now, stap it. Shill. [/quote] I would argue that Shaminism has led some cultures into some pretty dark, unenlightened shit that benefits Demonic Astral Entities VERY MUCH. In fact, your overall tone and rabidness suggests you would be highly susceptible to negative Astral influence. [/quote] You didn't even spell shamanism correctly. And one does not have tone over the internet, however, when one person makes an ignorant claim the likes that you have, one tends to upset people that know otherwise. Overall, you still don't know what you're talking about. Enjoy your one star, I'm done bumping your useless thread, and I can see why the OP of the other thread banned you after reading the posts that you made, and after debating you in this thread. Live in your world of delusions. Far be it from me to stop you. [/quote]
Original Message
By definition, spirituality is SPIRITIUAL. It has nothing to do with physical objects in the material world. It is not a vapor released from a plant or a chemical released in digestion that starts tweaking your brain's pleasure receptors.
REAL Spirituality is experienced by spiritual discipline, there are no shortcuts.
Oh sure, there are shortcuts that will take you into some pretty fantastic areas of demonic deception and if it's lies your after than go for it...
But the real stuff is hard work, devotion, piety, sacrifice and humility.
Like everything else in this world, there's the real thing that almost no one ever finds, and there's the counterfeit that is widely available.
