Psychedelic Spirituality

The evolution of Body and intellect of creatures are well known facts. Science have gone so much to explain these things. But its the evolution of the consciousness which is actually the under-current which made all the other evolutions possible.
Evolution and expansion are ever happening phenomenas. It is a nature of the nature to be that way. Universe is ever expanding and ever changing. Being a part of it, Every creatures from single cell organism to Human being posses an urge to expand physically and mentally in order to acquire more freedom, Happiness ,Pleasure, completeness, satisfaction and eternity.
Man,being the most evolved creature ,have tried to acquire them through physical means. But certainly throughout the history man have never found satisfaction or completeness through this way. But he still continue the same process shamelessly by manifesting his intellect.

Everything what we are searching lays within the self or the consciousness which is beyond intellect. All the searches ends once the self is realized.

In every ancient civilization there were many techniques used for this purpose.psychedelics have used by every ancient civilizations for the spiritual purposes. It showed them what lies beyond the everyday consciousness

Rig veda, the oldest scripture sings about Soma Drink. Its psychedelic properties are clearly stated in Rig Veda itself.Mayans used Magic Mushrooms and Holy ayahuasca in their rituals.For Hindus Marijuana have been considered as a gift from Shiva.Yogis and Tantrics still use it for their sadhana. Even more powerful psychedelic Drugs which has the smiler effects of LSD have been secretly used by yogis in Himalaya.

Once, Drugs were considered as sacred gifts from heaven. The People who used it did it for higher purpose with Discipline and respect. If the ancient didn't have problems with Drugs, how come the people in the modern world who think they are more educated and evolved than ancient people cant handle the drugs?Who are actually wise after all??

Now listen to the mistaken
notions of diet, O Parvati!
"That samadhi (trance) can be at once induced by drinking certain new chemical essences, and by eating
certain kinds of food is a mistake"

-Shiva Samhita
