ASCENSION FROM DRUGS

It is not for me to tell people which route is best for becoming enlightened or ascended. More often than not, life takes its own course and not necessarily in the desired direction we want. Many people use drugs, ancient native practices, use plant medicine like psychoactive mushrooms, toads, flowers etc and some turn to the synthetic drugs like LSD, or DMT or others. Trauma can also push people into taking drugs as a coping mechanism from the trauma.

With our ancestry and still with some native tribes, plant medicine and psychoactive “drugs” are an essential part of their culture and daily practices. With no harm to the individual but the opposite, a deeper understanding of the nature of reality on many metaphysical levels.

People may report experiencing states similar to “enlightenment” after taking certain drugs, particularly psychedelics, due to profound shifts in perception and consciousness, but most spiritual and some clinical perspectives emphasize that this experience is temporary and not equivalent to genuine, lasting enlightenment. 

How Drug Experiences Relate to “Enlightenment” 

Altered States of Consciousness: Psychedelic drugs (such as psilocybin or LSD) can induce non-ordinary states of consciousness that users might interpret as spiritual or enlightened. These experiences often involve a sense of ego dissolution (a loss of the normal sense of self) and a feeling of interconnectedness with nature, other people, or the cosmos.

Mystical Experiences:

Many individuals report a “mystical experience” characterized by a sense of unity, transcendence, and profound personal transformation. These experiences share similarities with those reported by experienced meditators, suggesting a potential common pathway in the brain.

Enhanced Introspection:

Drugs can facilitate deep introspection, allowing individuals to confront personal issues and traumas, and reassess pre-existing beliefs, which can be a catalyst for personal growth or a “spiritual awakening”. 

The Distinction Between Drug-Induced States and True Enlightenment 

Most spiritual traditions and teachers draw a sharp distinction between a drug-induced state and true, lasting enlightenment: 

Temporality vs. Permanence:

The effects of drugs are temporary, wearing off as the substance leaves the system. True enlightenment is generally described as a permanent state of heightened awareness, clarity, and inner stability that does not depend on any external substance.

Dependence vs. Inner Freedom:

The spiritual path emphasizes freedom from all dependencies, including drugs. Relying on a drug to achieve a certain mind state is seen by many programmed minds as contrary to the goal of self-realization, which is achieved through consistent practice like meditation and mindfulness. Yet these minds who state that it is counterproductive have not yet achieved a state of enlightenment themselves. This is a form of spiritual ignorance or brainwashing. Many of these so-called experts are fuelled on caffeine or have addictions to other things that may not be considered as drugs by their culture, but are an equivalent. So, I would say that native tribes may depend on drugs but it may not be from addiction. These are the most thoughtful and peaceful tribes on the planet, who know better than to listen to tinpot psychotherapists and modern psychology clap trap. By modern day criteria needing to drink water could be considered an addiction too. Selective bias. It is not for one to say over another what is and isn’t reality as reality is subjective.

Illusion vs. Reality:

Some perspectives argue that drug-induced visions are merely projections from the subconscious mind, not a direct perception of a higher reality. They can create an illusion of supreme knowledge but lack the fundamental transformation of one’s being. Just because someone is not seen as “transforming their being” it does not mean that there aren’t profound changes happening within them.

The outward appearance of someone is not necessarily a determiner of someone’s changes within. Yes, many people take drugs and do not become enlightened, as they are not seeking answers, instead seeking escape and fun. These types of people are more likely to become addicted to drugs for the feeling they produce and not the deeper truths to reality. It really depends on the nature of the individual and their motivations.

Those that treat drugs as a sacred practice with a view to opening up their gates of perception and seeking answers from the higher realms are the ones most likely to have a more longer lasting and perhaps permanent shift into a higher state of consciousness.

Integration is Key:

While a psychedelic experience might provide a glimpse of what’s possible, its value is lessened without actively integrating those insights into daily life and behaviour. 

In a therapeutic setting, psychedelics, when used with professional guidance and integrated afterward, are being explored for treating conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD because they can induce powerful, positive shifts in perspective and well-being.

Also new research has shown that cannabis can grow new neural pathways and have other therapeutic qualities like relieving epilepsy. So, if these drugs were so bad then why do they have a beneficial effect for the individual? Nature provides compounds that are able to be consumed to help people.

However, recreational use without context or integration is often viewed as a “spiritual cul-de-sac” that can lead to addiction and other mental health problems. Often people do not know when to stop or be moderate, this can lead to addiction and suffering, not taking responsibility for one’s actions. As with anything in life, everything in moderation is key and too much of one thing can also lead to suffering or ignorance.

I’ve seen far too many friends and family take drugs, alcohol is a socially accepted drug, that cause immense suffering and their personal health being damaged. Drugs are able to alter the mind into different states of consciousness, but I would suggest you ask yourself why you are taking them. Is it for self-indulgence as recreational? If so, then you will not be on a spiritual quest and will not garner much other than escapism. If, however, you are of the other persuasion and are motivated to take drugs for the pursuit of deeper self-understanding and that of nature, then if respected and in moderation, drugs may provide a route for you to ascension as they will open up the higher states of consciousness for you.

I do not promote anyone taking drugs and think that it is down to the personal choice of the individual as to whether they take them or not. There are alternative ways to ascend without drugs, and many pathways to reach enlightenment and Ascension.

ASCENSION FROM TRAUMA

ASCENSION FROM TRAUMA

ASCENSION FROM TRAUMA

Ascension or “Enlightenment”, or a profound spiritual awakening, can sometimes follow a traumatic experience because trauma shatters an individual’s existing worldview and ego, forcing them to search for deeper meaning and a fundamental shift in perception. This process is part of a psychological phenomenon called post-traumatic growth. Causing an expansion of the individuals consciousness.

The key mechanisms through which this transformation occurs include: 

Ego Disruption and Surrender:

Trauma can annihilate a person’s “ego” or centralized sense of self, which is often attached to a false sense of control and identity. When the egoic structure is crushed by overwhelming pain or loss, individuals are forced to surrender, leading to a profound shift in identification from the limited self to a broader, more expanded universal consciousness.

Existential Reboot and Search for Meaning:

A traumatic event often results in a “dark night of the soul,” challenging previously held beliefs about life’s purpose, fairness, and reality. This intense suffering acts as a catalyst, prompting a desperate search for meaning, solace, and stability, which often leads individuals to explore spirituality, philosophy, and introspection on a much deeper level than they might have otherwise. It leads to a profound search for truths but from a new perception of being able to look also at dark truths. The aim is to unlearn and relearn what is actually more real and truthful, even if it’s upsetting. As the pursuit of truth becomes priority over once held personal sentiments.

Neuroplastic Reset and Heightened Awareness:

The brain and nervous system undergo significant stress and rewiring during and after trauma. This forced evolution can lead to altered states of consciousness and a heightened state of awareness or hypervigilance, which, with the right guidance and self-reflection (such as through meditation), can be channeled into mystical experiences or profound insights into the nature of reality.

Fostering Compassion and Purpose:

Survivors of trauma often develop a heightened sense of empathy and purpose, as their suffering allows them to connect with others’ pain and channel their experiences into meaningful actions, such as becoming advocates or healers. This shift in focus from personal suffering to a shared human experience contributes to spiritual growth. 

It is important to note that trauma itself is not a prerequisite for enlightenment, and not everyone who experiences trauma will undergo this type of spiritual transformation. This is unique of the individual’s abilities to either crumble and fall, or for some to gain strength and rise.

The potential for growth depends on how an individual processes their experiences, moving through feelings and emotions toward healing and a new expanded perspective, rather than becoming stuck in victimhood or darkness.

Spiritual practices like meditation and mindfulness are considered safer and more grounded ways to facilitate this growth and healing. As usually trauma is not a voluntary process and is not asked for or purposefully sought out by the individual.

Trauma is often used by the military with programs like MkUltra and other psychological manipulation to induce an awakening or ascension. This is so that the individuals affected are able to think on a more expanded real-time level and they are considered an asset for special forces and specific types of operations.

I do not recommend anyone puts themself through traumatic situations on purpose with the aim of ascending. Most trauma is an accidental process from a situation or from an interaction with other people.

The other routes to ascension are attained from spiritual practices, sexual practices or taking drugs. Each has their own set of energy dynamics. If you wish to ascend you have to be prepared to know that you’ve been lied to and so the cultural conditioning you created your belief systems from will need to be unlearned and relearned.

This cleansing of what your false beliefs are then allows for more deeper truthful insights, as you are more able to look at multiple perspectives including entertaining people’s views that are the opposite to yours, but without entangling in them or being affected by them or reacting to them.

THE PRIMARY CAUSES OF HUMAN SUFFERING

THE PRIMARY CAUSES OF HUMAN SUFFERING

THE PRIMARY CAUSES OF HUMAN SUFFERING

The primary causes of human suffering can be categorized into external events and internal psychological factors, with perspectives varying across different philosophical and religious traditions.

External Causes

Physical Pain and Illness:

The unavoidable experience of physical pain, disease, and the bodily decline associated with aging and death are universal sources of suffering.

Loss and Disappointment:

Experiencing the loss of loved ones, unmet needs, and the failure of situations to meet expectations are common causes of emotional distress.

Man-Made Evil and Injustice:

Suffering can be caused by the actions of other humans, including cruelty, violence, war, abuse, and systemic inequalities that lead to poverty and injustice.

Natural Disasters and Random Events:

“Time and unforeseen events,” such as accidents, natural disasters (earthquakes, droughts, tsunamis), and other random misfortunes, are causes of suffering beyond human control.

Internal and Psychological Causes

Desire and Attachment:

Many traditions, particularly Buddhism, identify desire (craving for material goods, your wants, immortality) and attachment (clinging to things, outcomes, or an unhealthy ego) as primary roots of suffering. This includes expectations that people and situations should be different from what they are, so setting up false expectations that are never met and bringing self-created disappointment.

There are 4 main attachment types-

  • Secure
  • Anxious
  • Avoidant
  • Disorganised

Ignorance and Delusion:

A lack of understanding of the true nature of reality or one’s self is often cited as the fundamental cause of suffering. This “unawareness” leads to wrong or poor quality thoughts and actions, creating a cycle of dissatisfaction. See Dunning Kruger effect.

Aversion and Hatred:

The emotional responses of anger, hatred, and hostility towards unpleasant experiences or people contribute significantly to internal suffering. Keeping grudges and hatred and bitterness for others harms the self.

Ego and Selfishness:

An unhealthy focus on the self, including hurt ego and selfishness, leads to actions and attitudes that create suffering for both the individual and others. Denial of issues that are created will not make you learn and remove and upgrade. You cannot teach someone who thinks they already know.

Overthinking and Negative Thought Patterns:

The mind’s tendency to ruminate on negative thoughts and label experiences as “good” or “bad” is considered a source of suffering, distinct from the physical pain itself.

Instead of asking “why is this happening to me?”, from a victim mindset, ask yourself “what is this teaching me?”. Reject the injury and the injury goes away. Nothing is so, unless you think it. Your reaction to a situation, is it beneficial to you or do your reactions create further suffering for you?

Many people get a “thought-form” and get stuck on that groove and they have no tools to stop them from repeating their scripts. Which can be changed into better more healthy positive thought-forms.

These are the various current challenges that everyone faces in life. You cannot go through life without having to deal with internal and external conflicts of some type, so it is important to know and be able to have the tools to deal with them. The tools and info are available for those who seek them.

QUANTUM JUMPING

QUANTUM JUMPING

QUANTUM JUMPING

Making a Quantum Shift/Quantum Leap

Upgrading your Life

Often people wish to trade places with someone else who has a seemingly better life or they wish that their life circumstances were different and more prosperous. There are a few reasons why people no longer wish to be where they are now. Some may perceive themselves as suffering and wish to move into a non-suffering state of being, some people may be poor and want to have a better financial situation, some for finding true love etc.

The key motivator is that they no longer wish to be the person that they are and want to move into an improved state from the current one.

To understand Quantum Jumping, and how you can “jump” into another quantum aspect of you, first you have to identify the aspects of you that you wish to change and then release and let go of.

This then helps you to unlock and upgrade the parts of you that you wish to keep and cultivate, as well as exploring the new aspects of your quantum self that you wish to become.

Quantum Tunnelling

You can do straight quantum jumps into a quantum aspect of you- I.e. Think about the version of you that you want to be, then just do it the next day for the rest of your life. But this is more like quantum tunnelling where you create the version of you really fast and change in a very short duration. I don’t recommend this method as this way there is no identifying of current issues that need specific changes or clearings. You just go straight into a new version of you.

I recommend the slower version where you identify the specific parts that you want to change, then you can remove those over an easier pace of time. That way you can integrate your new quantum aspect more gradually and it’s not such a shock to the system. You can take on more and more of the new, while simultaneously removing the aspects that no longer serve you or are part of you. You identify a specific, then upgrade it or remove it to allow the new current frequencies to enter.

Quantum tunnelling has a less definite lasting basis than quantum jumping the effects of which last longer. My point is that you have to know a destination first in order to get to it. Rather than just heading in a direction you think is the way. It’s the same principle as for making a quantum jump. You have to know/identify what you would like to become and also identify, first, what you wish to keep as part of your new aspect. Also, what you wish to change or remove as part of that old aspect of you that allows for the new aspect, that’s defined by you, to come in and appear.

Self-Reflection

Upgrading your life often begins with a process of self-reflection across the different dimensions of your well-being. Common areas people wish to enhance generally fall into the following categories: 

Identifying key life factors

  • What to keep and love
  • What to evaluate for upgrade and change
  • What to remove and clear
  • What new to explore and do

Analysis and reflection about yourself, what works for you and is staying, what doesn’t work for you and is going?

The main areas about you to place your focus upon.

Physical Health:

Focusing on nutrition, fitness, sleep quality, and stress management. How well are you maintaining your body? Are there any health issues that you think need attending to?

Mental and Emotional Well-being:

Addressing mindset, managing emotions, seeking personal growth, and improving self-awareness. How much do you prioritise having a healthy curious mindset for learning new things and keeping the mind interested and engaged? 

Relationships:

Nurturing connections with family, friends, and partners, as well as fostering new, healthy social ties. Identifying the types of energies you no longer wish to interact with, and people who are not supportive of your natural self. Refining the quality and interactions you have in various relationships. Connecting to more like-minded people, social groups and communities.

No longer feeding relationships that are not reciprocal.

Re-evaluating what is important to you and for increasing good relationships that support you.

Career and Finance:

Seeking professional development, increasing income, managing debt, and planning for long-term financial security. Taking stock of your assets and updating or terminating any contracts that do not support you or prevent you from development. Re-assessing the financial instruments you use. Looking at consolidating assets and being able to make them more flexible for new banking systems. Whilst converting some assets to physical gold or silver.

Personal Development and Hobbies:

Allocating time for learning new skills, pursuing passions, or engaging in creative outlets. Following your inspiration, researching more into the topics and activities you like to do. Finding a way to express yourself through your own creative ways.

Does your life contain inspiration and excite you; do you wish to have more ways to enrich your life?

Environment:

Creating a more organized, peaceful, and functional living or working space so that your life flows more smoothly and is less chaotic.

To identify specific areas for improvement, consider evaluating your current satisfaction level in each category and pinpointing which ones feel most neglected or offer the greatest potential for positive change. 

Steps for Quantum Jumping

“Quantum jumping,” in a metaphorical sense, is a practice of shifting your reality through intense visualization and belief. The process typically involves vividly imagining your desired reality, feeling the emotions associated with it, and affirming it as your current reality. This is often framed as a psychological and spiritual practice rather than a literal scientific one but also can be quite literal too.

Steps for a “quantum jump” 

There are infinite versions of you, all playing out their various timelines all at once. Some of the versions of you have red, brown, blond, black hair colour, etc, etc; taller, shorter etc. By identifying the one you wish to be jumping into, you then jump into that person from a dominant frequency.

Seeing as everything is all one, it means that all those infinite versions of you are reflections of you but with a different set of thought parameters and patterns that create their various different types of jabbers and behaviours.

As water can be steam or ice, and ice can be water or steam etc, it is because each state vibrates at a different frequency that’s all. Which means that so too is consciousness also fluid at being different materialisations of those versions of you. So too can consciousness present itself in different states or as different versions of you. You are different versions of you in just one day. You are a different person in the morning when you wake up, from the you at the end of the day before you go to sleep. Having gained a day’s new experiences, thoughts and activities from the previous.

So, the identity you wish to jump into is already inside of you. Just waiting for you to reflect and affect changes in your frequency to materialise that other quantum self as you.

Define your desired reality:

Be very specific about what you want to “jump” to. So think about what person you’d like to be. Try and think of all the little details about them, their posture, character, mannerisms. The way they hold themselves, the way they speak, the speed, pace and energy of that person you wish to jump into.

Visualise vividly:

Sit or lie in a comfortable position and vividly imagine this new reality. Engage all your senses: what do you see, hear, and feel?

Draw a picture of them, look for clothes for them, hear them speaking, observe how they interact with others in various hypothetical situations in your mind.

Feel the emotions:

Connect with the emotions of your desired reality, such as joy and gratitude, as if it has already happened. What do they feel inside, how does it show in their expressions, or how they speak and what topics they speak of.

Use affirmations:

Verbally reinforce your new reality by affirming, “I am living in my desired reality”. Say to yourself things that your new self likes to say, use a theme tune for your new persona, like a movie soundtrack to your life.

Shift your focus:

Intentionally shift your thoughts away from your current reality and towards your desired one with a knowing of what your quantum self would do. Invest more certainty of belief into the new paradigm shift.

 

Key concepts 

Belief and focus:

You must believe that shifting is possible and focus your attention on the desired reality.

Emotional alignment:

The practice emphasizes aligning your emotions with your desired state to make the manifestation more powerful.

Psychological shift:

In a psychological context, “quantum jumping” is seen as a rapid transformation that occurs after a sudden insight or change in perspective. This change in mindset can lead to new behaviours and decision-making.

Filler moments:

The transition to a new reality may include “filler moments” that provide logical-seeming explanations for the change, making it feel more natural. 

Creating narratives that make whatever happens to you, be seen with the filter of your new quantum self as the reason.

All versions of You

There is you, in the here in the present now, and there is the quantum you, also here in the present now. All versions of you are compatible with becoming more or less of you. There is nothing obstructing this transition should you wish to make it, except your own limitations of belief.  The ability to quantum jump is within you, it’s just up to you to identify what you are leaving behind first before you identify what you are jumping into.

THE FORMULA FOR INNER CONTENTMENT

THE FORMULA FOR INNER CONTENTMENT

by

a small green plant sprouts from a branch

THE FORMULA FOR INNER CONTENTMENT

While there is no single, scientific formula for inner contentment, it can be conceptualized in various philosophical and psychological models. A common “formula” that appears in different sources is –

Contentment = What you have / What you want.

Contentment

The essence of this idea is that true contentment comes not from constantly increasing the “numerator” (material possessions, external achievements, etc.), but from reducing the “denominator” (desires and attachments). 

Beyond this simple equation, a state of lasting inner contentment and peace is generally described as an internal state of calm and balance that is largely independent of external circumstances. Key components and practices for cultivating it, based on psychological and philosophical perspectives, include: 

Acceptance:

Acknowledging and embracing reality as it is, including your feelings and circumstances, rather than resisting what you cannot control.

Gratitude:

Cultivating a deep appreciation for the present moment and what you already have, which shifts the focus from scarcity to abundance.

Mindfulness/Living in the Present:

Engaging fully in the here and now, without worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. Meditation is a key practice for this.

Reduced Desires/Simplicity:

Focusing on life’s essentials and letting go of the constant need for more material possessions or external validation.

Self-Acceptance and Forgiveness:

Treating yourself with kindness and understanding, and letting go of past grievances and self-criticism.

Strong Relationships:

Nurturing positive social connections which provide support and a sense of belonging. Finding people who have similar guiding principles for life and living as yours.

Purpose and Meaningful Goals:

Engaging in activities that align with your heart and your values that contribute to something larger than yourself.

Physical Well-being:

Prioritising health through adequate sleep, nutritious food, and regular exercise, which supports mental and emotional balance. 

Know Thy Self

Most people’s attention is bound to the material world by distractions. True inner contentment comes from deeply knowing yourself, by going within to reflect upon who you truly are.

The more varied your life experiences, the more you know how you would and will react and respond in any given situation you are presented with, good, bad and neutral. This is knowing yourself. Knowing how and who you are to yourself.

In essence, the “formula” for inner contentment is a blend of mindset shifts, intentional practices, and a commitment to personal growth that allows you to be at peace with life as it is. 

The only driver is you, so only you have the option of getting yourself to these locations along your life’s journey. These locations are there for everyone to visit and stay. No one way of reaching them, and many paths will get you there. These locations are along your own path, just waiting for your arrival.
