I have to add, tryptamines if you look at the EEG of the brain doesnt lead to balanced syncronization of the two hemispheres...they are more visual. GABA receptors need to be targeted for the balancing hemisperes. Or auditory entrainment...just be careful popping over with drugs....they have power but without balance can hurt a person...

Sorry to Drala,
It's just that drugs are such a crude way to get there. Who knows really what other effects may be attendant.
You are right, you were not advocating drugs but i think you have to be careful with words unless you are misunderstood (as I misunderstood you).

For those who wish to understand the entheogenic experience, at least in part, without taking it (it's next to impossible to access anyway, especially the 5MEO molecule) - I'd highly recommend the book Tryptamine Palace by James Oroc.

Yes, I lived through the sixties & I'm still alive. Several of my friends and close aquaintances are now dead, directly attributable to drugs. Like just about every adult now living, I have tried a pharamcopia of substances. In over half a century of life, I have never heard of one single person improving spiritually, physically or emotionally through the use of drugs.
Do you have any experience with the 'drugs'?
We are growing, learning and evolving, I hope. If at times it seems a little slow, it may be due to the non-participants.
Where are we 'getting' exactly?
Yes. Almost everything is. People who are drugged are simply drugged, not spiritually advanced.
Do you have any evidence that suggests meditation (or anything else, for that matter) is a more effective spiritual aid than entheogens?

.. and regarding the naturalness of certain drugs. Nature is full of poisons, a wise person avoids them.
