mindless use
"A lot of people use psychedelics in mindless or misguided ways, without much understanding. The spiritual context gets lost. It's like taking a synthetic mescaline pill and forgetting the 200-mile desert walk and the months of prayer and purification the Huichols use to prepare for their peyote ceremony ... One needs to respect the depth of these experiences and make a conscious commitment to the full journey of spiritual change." (Jack Kornfield in 'Tricycle') |
| ... ritual use
"Still, the impact of LSD is not to be underestimated. Some contexts of ritual use - for example, Grateful Dead concerts - have endured. And a well-known Zen monk in Europe said recently that nearly all the new students who come to his school do so after taking a consciousness-altering drug, usually LSD." (Robert Jesse in 'Tricycle') |
| ... violence to the mind
"There's a kind of violence done to the mind in taking psychedelics that makes it unimaginable as a good spiritual tactic. People go nuts just from sitting with their own minds quietly for a week or so - how much more so when all those receptors in the brain are forced open to a level to which the brain, or the psyche, is unaccustomed. Use of psychedelics also undermines the ability to develop a sound and enduring faith in the path. The drugs give us an excuse for not really believing in our own experience. When I took mushrooms or acid as a teenager and saw lights, or experienced overwhelming feelings of interconnectedness, it was easy to write it all off the next day (when I was feeling hung over and not so generous) as nothing more than a chemical reaction in my brain." (Amy Hertz in 'Tricycle') |
