DRUGS 31
2-2 The drug use in the old days
As I have quoted at the beginning of this chapter, in the past drugs were used to forget and push away
the pain but also sometimes bitter misery. Drugs were used in many ways, but there were always
preceded certain ceremonies or rituals associated with it. It was never suited to just take the stuff!
Something we constantly see now in the present time.
No, in the past there always were clearly rituals before using drugs. Sometimes it took weeks before
you could use the next drug. You always took the drug under the guidance of the old masters or persons
who had much experience with that particular drug. Most of the time, you had to search and prepare
the drug yourself. So you came into the mood for using it and you were prepared for the big moment
as well. There was no drug trafficking in the past. But it was like taking the resources you needed from
nature, you prepared them and then used them. You did this to relieve your sometimes not bearable
everyday life. Pains were the most common reasons to take drugs. So you remained active and could
go on with your life.
In Castaneda’s books, you can read how a Western man apprenticed to a certain Don Juan.
The master began with small simple classes, and these classes were getting heavier and deeper into
the world of heavy kinds of drug. Eventually, they learned how to use the sometimes dangerous heavy
drugs. The experiences were discussed after each trip. As result that for centuries there are those
stories about drugs. They were often myths which are the teaching, and it helps the person to see the
responsibility when taking certain drugs in accordance with established rituals.
Not all drugs are suitable for everybody, basically anyone can react and experience them differently.
That’s why Don Juan taught you to accept things, and also to believe why you cannot have a particular
substance. That doctrine is necessary so that you know what happens to your body. It makes your body
one with the drug you take. Drugs are, according to the ancient doctrine, not made to abort the body.
Do you feel that it is so then you should listen and stop with that substance or adjust your ritual.
Old masters know how to teach this in various ways and that is described extensively in the books of
Castaneda.
Respect to any drugs whatsoever is important and should be maintained. Everything you do to this rule
means you’re breaking down the body, while traditionally drugs are just in order to proceed longer and
give you a better life. The old masters and experienced users see through that, and know that by
responsibly taking of any drugs whatsoever, it could benefit your life.
Another detail is that drugs are also bound to the location. Any place in the world has its own drugs, its
own plants that can be used to support the body. At any location in the world where the people are
living, they should use the drugs that are available around them. This is particularly important; all you
need in your life you can find within a radius of 10 kilometers.
Respecting and knowing what you are doing, is what the old masters and most experienced people are
teaching you. By taking daily or several times a day, stimulants or drugs means shortening and breaking
down your life according to the ancient doctrine.
Then we come to the present time.
2-3 Drug use in the present time
In the last centuries, drug use is gone out of control. Except that now drug is a way to make a lot of money
in a relatively simple way, there is an ambiguity in the use of drugs. The elite and the top of mankind
can use any drug without any prohibition. It is as well accepted and even legally. While all drugs around
the world are prohibited for the common man thus the lower class population. As a common man you
are even considered a heavy criminal when you get caught with drugs.
But there are still the ones who are taking drugs in the strangest locations such as discos, pubs, bars
and other public places. Taking drugs nowadays has nothing to do with respect or any ritual. They take
the white stuff and sniff or spray it where they think they need it. Still others take their pill, if necessary in
the street, and go loose all the way, and just sit and wait when and where it will go wrong.
In this way, drug becomes an enemy of our body. The body has not accepted these toxins and will resist.
Except that there is often an addiction, the body will break down itself and collapse. In fact with current
drugs it is even so bad that the human being will behave as an animal, and there is absolutely no control
over the body, let alone knowing what they are doing. Thus, these drug addicts are a real danger to the
community.
Taking or using drugs is completely out of control. For, in the past this stuff was pure and now it is highly
mixed and so many other substances, that are simply not necessary, get into your body. The current
method of using drugs makes a large group totally unworldly, and can no longer function as a human being.
What we see at the top and among the elite is that they take a lot of drugs as well, but it is still in better
conditions and made of mostly pure products. They can still pay for the pure drug. The person on the
street cannot spend more than 5 to 10 dollar and must deal with chemical waste.
What we see at the present time is, that a lot of young drug users have lost their way completely. No, not
only socially but also in their lives. They miss the path they should follow so to work responsibly with drugs.
Sometimes from a very young age one begins to use all kinds of stuff. Nothing has to be produced or
searched for. No, you can buy the stuff on every street corner. Money is here the great solution and in this
way you can buy the way to eternal tripping, moving away from your own life and the related responsibility.
Many of the young people do not want to fulfill their responsibility and avoid all confrontation. But they
forget that they are aborting their own lives. Because drug is currently associated with money, it is
practically impossible to even remain out of the criminalized, and thus you will break down your own life
and you will depend upon the underworld as well.
In the present time drug is misused by many and they are paying the price for it. Ancient civilizations,
with their masters and those who show respect for the drug, go on living a beautiful life. That, while the
current younger drug users after a short time their life will be a hell, with in the end so much pain and an
awful long terminal.
No wonder we see that drug is a big problem now. The use of natural drugs is without any respect,
without any know-how and the youth often uses the cheaper chemical alternatives with its terrible
consequences.
If one wants to take drugs, it is recommended to first prepare himself for the rituals (the laws and
regulations) taught by an experienced older person, which are necessary in order to move safely in this
other world. It is necessary to know that on this path there should be someone to watch and guide you.
Not one person can do it alone, not one person has coped by throwing himself in this world. It’s a different
world, a different way of life and that, one should see.
Finally, I want to show you just one example.
If you are going to dive deep into the sea, you will also come into a different world. Diving among fishes
and corals is not about having an air cylinder on your back and then jumping into the water. Chances are
very high that you emerge floating on the surface either paralyzed or dead.
The sea has its rules and so the world of drugs.
Please realize that, if you want to visit the world of drugs.
From this chapter, I want to go slowly but surely to the core of the book and what is going on around drugs.
As an introduction, I would first talk about a movie that shows exactly what is going on in this world.
