“Drugs took me to places; they were like portals. It's kind of a cliché, but they were like portals to altered states of consciousness into ways of imagining the world, or seeing a world beyond this world, or seeing a world beyond this world that I might not have gotten to unless I discovered meditation and a very deep, intense spiritual path based on contemplation and meditation.” WorldWayKindStatesMightSpiritualConsciousnessPathMeditationSeeingThis WorldDrugIntenseContemplationAlteredSpiritual PathVery DeepPortalStates Of ConsciousnessAltered StatesAltered States Of Consciousness Author:Anne Lamott

“So long as the great majority of the poor in any country are inert and are laboring without any hope in this world, the whole associated life of that community rests on an equivocal foundation. Its moral and social order is tied to an economic system which starves and mutilates the great majority of the population, and under such conditions its religion necessarily becomes a spiritual drug, administered for the purpose of subduing the popular discontent and relieving the popular misery.” WorldLongCountryWholeSpiritualPurposeOrderSocialCommunityPoorMoralEconomicConditionsThis WorldDrugFoundationMajorityMiseryPopulationTiedDiscontentEconomic SystemsSocial Order Author:Herbert Croly
“In life, (the fashion world) is full of sharks. In this world the young girls lose themselves; become the property of others, live but for the job and their craziness...they don't know anymore where their home is. Many take drugs. It's strange. Perhaps the girls understand that this does not work for me. I don't have many friendships with other models. I respect them and enjoy working with them, but I probably would not invite them into my home. My house is like my heart, and I open it only to those with whom I have a close relationship.” KnowsWorldHeartDoeHomeJobsYoungGirlHouseEnjoyLosesFashionThis WorldStrangeMy HeartDrugModelsPropertyInvitesSharksCrazinessClose RelationshipFashion World Author:Laetitia Casta

“Who’s to say that it takes something like a drug to mess with your perception of reality? How did Hitler deceive a nation? How can one group of people look at the world and see one thing, and another see something completely different? One sees a town, another sees a desert. One sees beauty, another sees chaos.” The skin of this world,” he said quietly.” PeopleWorldLooksSaidDifferentRealityNationsOne ThingGroupsThis WorldDrugPerceptionSkinsTownsChaosMessDesertDeceivingPerception Reality Author:Ted Dekker
