Hi, A-D ,
Firstly i would like to say thank you 4 the forum + ur welcomeing + pleasant

manner. It has been fascinating 4 me to have heard ur, + others comments on some of my

experiences + how they may or may not relate to Buddhism. It is an education for me .
It's been many years since i took lsd or any such thing , i am well aware

that these things were just aids to expansions, + as such , under the controlled

conditions i briefly explained earlier, they can be most beneficial.
They are dangerous for the masses, i have met v few people who can hold their

consciousness together so to speak, in a truly multidimensional 'environment' ,

especially if they r ill some way in themselves, controlled conditions do not exist

for these poor people . The poor girl sceaming death , most people should never take

this drug. As i said , i rarely even talk of such things let alone encourage anyone to

take a trip, in fact i counsel against it nowerdays.
But there are a few who have been able to use the drug as a medicine, maybe

somewhat like the shamans of old, + had many + varied, legitimate experiences of

expansions of conciousness. But it is too dangerous + i do not do it myself + i have

only spoken of it here in response to ur intuitional enquiery. I hope it is not too

much of a disappointment to u that i had used these drugs.
I would not have come into the dual wakeing/dreaming consciousness without

months of intense meditations, only sleeping 3-4 hrs a night (without drugs) if i did not believe that

the only true way to expansion is thru hard work + detrmination. I got a free 3 day

trip out of it anyway .
kindest regards, paul
ps, are u aware of any description in Buddhism that might be in any way

similar to the dual wakeing/dreaming consciousness i had described earlier, thank u .
