Drugs and Spiritual Experiences
Over the past few decades I have met a surprising number of people who appear to be actively pursuing their spiritual path and development whilst they are also engaged in habitual drug use. When I say a “surprising number” it may in fact be the majority of people I meet who are into “spirituality” and alternative lifestyles. The reason this surprises me is what I will outline here in this article.
Self-justification, delusions, and maligned intention

How might drug use play into a state of spiritual delusion, psychic compromise, and loss of consciousness? This article is a brief case-study on self-justification, delusions, and maligned intention
The Dark Side of Ayahuasca – Part 1
Here we explore the seldom talked about shadow side of Ayahuasca, such as demons, entities, and possession. Not from someone who is against this medicine, but from someone who places spiritual freedom and higher consciousness at the forefront of what’s important in life.
The Dark Side of Ayahuasca – Part 2
This is the second part of The Dark Side of Ayahuasca, where I share some elements to be considered by those using or planning to use Ayahuasca. Is ayahuasca all positive and without a shadow side? How can one approach these plant spirits in a harmonious way?
The Dark Side of Ayahuasca – Part 3
This is Part Three in the popular series The Dark Side of Ayahuasca. We look at why ayahuasca may seem deceptively attractive to many people, some more of the hidden issues in such practices, how Man degrades these plants with unconsciousness.
Alcohol and the human spirit
What are the potential effects of alcohol on the human spirit and being? Why is it attractive, and in what ways might it be detrimental to people and society at large?
