The Bible calls it "sorcery." This word in the Greek is "pharmakia," from which we derive the English word pharmacy.

Drug Addiction a Disease of the Soul

« By convincing human beings that there is no God, no Providence, no Heaven and no hope of life after death, materialistic thinkers have robbed them of the one reality that gives meaning to human existence: the reality of the soul and spirit. They proclaim that religion is 'the opium of the people' and that man can be perfectly happy as long as he has sufficient food, a roof over his head and the chance to study and to raise a family. But is this born out by what we see in reality?

No; even when a man's physical body, heart and intellect have everything they could possibly ask for, he is not necessarily happy or satisfied; we see evidence of this every day. And why is he not satisfied? Because he has neglected to nourish his soul and spirit and they are still hungry and thirsty.

And this is why the increasing use of drugs, especially by the young, is a warning. It is a sign that the soul is trying to make its needs understood: men's souls are being stifled and the use of drugs is an attempt to find release. We have been told that mankind had to reject the opium of religion, but are we any better off with marijuana, heroin and cocaine?

The soul needs infinite space; when it is hemmed in it suffocates and is ready to grasp at any means in order to free itself, and alcohol and drugs are amongst those means because they have the property of detaching the soul from the physical body and giving it, if only for a few moments, the illusion of freedom and space, Young people take drugs because they don't know how else to satisfy their soul's need for freedom. But this is no solution, for a drug is simply a chemical element administered to the body, and it is not the body that is clamouring for freedom, but the soul. The use of drugs is an indication, therefore, but it is not the solution. Not only are drugs incapable of satisfying the needs of the soul but they destroy the body. This is why I say that no one should ever use them on any pretext whatever. joy, freedom, fulfilment and the expansion of the soul must be sought by spiritual means.

A true adept of Initiatic Science never relies on external means; he knows that God has given him all the powers, gifts and chemical substances he needs; they are all within him, and he only has to find them there. Of course, this is not something that can be done in a day, it takes time and effort, but it is well worth it. When you find your nourishment in the sublime regions of the soul and spirit your hunger is satisfied for days and days, for the elements of the divine world are so rich that one taste is enough to give you a sense of abundance and fulfilment that will stay with you always. Nothing can take away from you this sensation of immensity and eternity. »

That's what I think too, OP. I think they are lost and condemned and part of them knows it. They are enslaved to sin and this is what they are trying to numb with the drugs. The knowledge of their spiritual condition.

But, this world is just getting further and further away from the truth of Jesus Christ and Father God and Lord Holy Spirit. It is just walking further away from what needs to be done to heal a man or a woman or a child.

God help us.

Drugs are what you make of them.

If you're a dumbass and let drugs control you you will get addicted or destroy yourself.
If you're smart and know how to control them they can change your life for the better in so many ways.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70083591


Nowhere in man's investigations into nature do we find that the spirit seeks to rid itself of matter. On the contrary, we note that the spirit works on matter in order to make it evolve. Since the beginning of the world, the spirit has demonstrated its intention to make use of matter, to transform it, to spiritualise it, to make it as vibrant as light. If spirit were to get rid of matter, it could no longer manifest itself, for it can do so only through matter, which is its beloved wife. It is only ignorant human beings who urge them to divorce! So, distrust all those philosophies that try to separate spirit from matter. The only true philosophy teaches us that the spirit descends into matter in order to master it, vivify it, and manifest itself through it. Of course, it is a gigantic enterprise, but the spirit is never discouraged and endlessly returns to celebrate its union with matter.

Spirit and matter… This is an endless question, since spirit and matter appear in many different forms: as masculine and feminine, positive and negative, emissive and receptive, heaven and earth. Nothing is more important than these two principles – the masculine and the feminine. But you have to understand their respective places and roles so as not to favour one over the other. Humans always tend to go to extremes: either they focus only on the spirit and neglect matter, or they focus on matter and leave out the spirit. This is what is happening today, when so many people are in the grip of matter without ever seeking to bring the spirit into it. And so, matter remains inert, lifeless, and eventually it engulfs them. It is because the spirit is alive in them and animating their matter that men and women can be so alive and expressive. And to prove it: when a human being’s spirit departs at death, all that remains is to bury them. It is always the spirit acting through matter that brings it to life. But without matter, spirit is unable to manifest.

The relationship between good and evil is identical to that which exists between spirit and matter. Just as the spirit needs matter in order to express itself, so good needs evil, otherwise it will fall asleep; there is nothing to stimulate it. Evil provokes good, and then good is projected onto the substance of evil as though onto a screen. It’s thanks to evil that good is what it is; without evil we would have no knowledge of good. If humans wish to destroy evil, good will also be destroyed. In some cases, evil can even be said to be the root of good. Of course, that doesn’t mean we should favour evil; it doesn’t need any favours, it is strong enough as it is. We only need to know it is unavoidable and learn to use it. You cannot evolve, you cannot become a higher being, if you do not encounter evil in the form of obstacles and ordeals. So, be happy that you will always be stimulated, you will always be inspired and full of life, because evil will always be there: there will always be things to annoy you, there will always be flies, wasps, snakes and wicked people, and it is up to you to use them to the good.

Every earthly manifestation has its source, its roots, on high in the divine world. Nothing that we build on earth can survive if we do not first take care to secure its foundation in the spiritual realm. Since this holds true for political and social institutions, all the more reason it should apply to religious institutions as well. And yet, what do we find? Over time, Christianity has become a sort of museum where we can read the entire history of architecture, painting and music. There is so much at which to marvel, it is true, because it translates the fervour of the past, but now only vestiges remain, and the spirit has been lost. It is normal for the spirit to manifest in matter in a suitable way, but what we see today is no longer the manifestation of the spirit in matter but, on the contrary, matter which has engulfed and paralysed the spirit. Where now is this ardour, this fervour that was once able to create such masterpieces?

By associating itself primarily with the sacrifice of Jesus, Christianity has stressed the painful and tragic aspect of the cross. In reality, we must recognize in the cross a significance far greater in magnitude. In universal symbolism, the cross is the matter into which the Christ, the Cosmic Spirit, descends in order to bring it to life. In human beings, of course, the spirit can be engulfed by matter. If a person does nothing to animate his matter, it eventually becomes his tomb, and unfortunately that is what happens to so many people who allow the spirit to be buried within them. Matter is the cross upon which the spirit is continually sacrificed, but this sacrifice is meaningful only if matter is transformed and becomes purer and more alive.

All treasures are contained in matter. Not, however, this physical matter we all know, which is only an illusion, a semblance of matter. This is not true matter. Even chemists and physicists do not know true matter. When they break down matter they are content with merely establishing that it releases energy. In fact, if they had more sophisticated equipment, they would discover that this matter had made way for another kind of matter, finer and more subtle, belonging to another region. However, this is an elemental, ultimate matter which human beings will never succeed in breaking down. Only God Himself can do that. And when the time comes for Him to break down matter, it will return within Him and nothing more will exist. There will be absolute silence, cosmic night. Until that time, the disappearance of matter resembles the disappearance of clouds. You have seen this before: a few white clouds beginning to form in a clear blue sky. Where did they come from? And then a few moments later, they have melted into space. They are all gone. So, they are there and they are not there. In reality it is the density of the matter which changes. Matter itself does not disappear, because it is the complementary pole to the spirit. Even atomic fusion does not make matter disappear.

War, progress, and the end of history, including a short story of the Anti-Christ. Three discussions by Vladimir Soloviev

The Temple and the Roman Imperial Spirit

The Jerusalem Temple and Imperial Rome: these are what have linked Freemasonry with the New Rome of the New World Order since the days of the Templars, who based their esotericism on the symbology of the Temple of Solomon which they had learned in the Crusades. Their very name was associated with the Temple, and many of Freemasonry’s rites too are based on the Temple of Solomon. The god-given esotericism of ancient Israel was thus conjoined with what was essentially an imperial Roman will to power. Today we see again an alliance between those forces that lead the Jewish people and those that lead the New Rome; indeed the State of Israel today, just as in Herod’s day, is a client state of an Imperial Rome, the only difference being that, unlike Herod’s kingdom, without the aid of the New Rome, the modern State of Israel would very likely not have survived.

The support of the New Rome (USA) for modern Israel is based on several factors, two of which are of direct Gnostic origin. First, the elitist ‘neo-Gnostics’ (those ‘in the know’) who presume to guide America’s destiny are the heirs to those elitist Freemasonic leaders of 18th, 19th and 20th century America (from Benjamin Franklin and George Washington to 33rd degreee Masons Harry Truman and Franklin D. Roosevelt) whose traditions centred on the Temple of Solomon. Their interest is thus in the land of Israel and with the people of Israel – both of which are essentially pre-Christian Old Testament motivations. Second, the other, more democratic ‘Gnostics’, the fundamentalist American ‘Christians’, are heirs to the Puritan tradition of the Pilgrims, which ultimately goes back to what I have characterised as the non-oligarchical stream of Gnosticism.[4] Those in this stream saw themselves in the New World as God’s Chosen People, just like the Israelites, removed by God from out of the land of perdition. They also believed, based on their misinterpretation of Biblical texts, and still believe, that they have a mission to help the Jews return to the Holy Land so that the Second Coming can take place. American support for Israel therefore comes both from the elite clubhouse and lodge, and also from the populist evangelical chapel.

There is a third factor at work in American support for Israel, or rather, for US remote control of Israel, which has deeper esoteric roots and is only understandable in the light of esoteric knowledge. This is that there will in the near future be an incarnation of the spiritual being known to Anthroposophers as Ahriman and to traditional Christians as Satan. The Russian writer and philosopher Vladimir Solovyov (1853-1900) pointed to this over 100 years ago in his book “War, Progress and the End of History: Three Conversations” (1899). As described by Solovyov, this being will attempt to seduce mankind, will make himself Emperor of a New Roman Empire and will set up his capital in Jerusalem with the intention of surpassing Christ in the estimation of mankind. The ultimate aim of Ahriman/Satan is to persuade mankind that there is no spiritual world and indeed no individual spirit in Man; only the visible material world is real; only absorption in the mass has reality. As Bill Gates has put it: “A computer should only help one to have fun and have a nice life in a collective mind” [5]. This is one pole of spiritual life and experience, for materialism itself is a spiritual idea. The opposite pole is represented by the being traditionally known as Lucifer (‘bringer of Light’). His temptation is to draw Man away from material and social life altogether in a self-obsessed urge to transcend and deny earthly life; the luciferic spirit holds that only the spiritual life has validity. Between Lucifer, who, according to Rudolf Steiner, had a human incarnation in China c.3000 BC and Ahriman, who is shortly to appear in the West, stands the Christ, whose human Incarnation in Jesus of Nazareth occurred 2000 years ago. Christ is the Balance between the other two, the principles of seduction. Just as He himself in the course of His life had to go through temptations by these two beings during the 40 days in the desert, so mankind has to undergo these same temptations in order to find its own balance, which is the Christ.

Why was it then that the stream of Middle Eastern esoteric wisdom, which later metamorphosed into that of the Cathars, Templars and Freemasons, became historically retrograde and sought to preserve an elitism and oligarchy similar to that of its old enemy, the Roman Catholic Church ? In a lecture of 4th November 1919, Rudolf Steiner said:
….when the Mystery of Golgotha [i.e. the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ - TMB] had taken place on earth, it was essentially the luciferic wisdom [stemming from Lucifer's incarnation in China in the 3rd millennium BC - TMB] through which it could be understood. The gnosis….was impregnated through and through with luciferic wisdom…..the significance of the incarnation of Christ was grasped because the power of the old Lucifer incarnation still survived. This power did not actually fade from the human faculty of comprehension until the 4th century AD; and even then it had its aftermath, its ramifications.

By this Steiner was referring to something he spoke about on many occasions, namely the closing of the doors of natural clairvoyant perception. Until about 3100 BC large numbers of human beings had natural clairvoyant perception as an inborn faculty; they could see into the spiritual world. In order for us to develop in freedom, however, this faculty had to disappear. From the 3rd millennium onwards, mankind gradually began to enter a state of darkness with respect to the spiritual world. Mystery centres and temples then began to appear in all cultures that maintained the connection with the spiritual world, but only for neophytes that were prepared to undergo the increasingly difficult training that was necessary to maintain the connection. An inevitable and indeed legitimate spiritual aristocracy came about.
