“Speaking as somebody who's been in the drug scene, it's not something you can go on and on doing, you know. It's like drink, or anything, you've got to come to terms with it. You know, like too much food, or too much anything. You've got to get out of it. You're left with yourself all the time, whatever you do--you know, meditation, drugs or anything. But you've got to get down to your own god and your own temple in your head.” KnowsLeftTermToo MuchMeditationGoes OnDrinkSceneDrugTemplesDo You KnowKnow MeDoing You Author:John Lennon
“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

“Mood reflects the biology of the brain. How you feel is affected by the chemicals in the brain, and these are the same chemicals that form the basis of mood-altering drugs.

“The difference between magic and meditation methods is the difference between drugs and diet—medicines will do swiftly what diet can only effect slowly, and in critical cases there is no time to wait for the slow processes of dietetics, so it must be either medicines or nothing. Nevertheless, drugs are no substitute for right diet and wholesome regime, and although magic enables a speedy and potent result to be attained, is is only by means of right understanding and right ethics that the position which has been won can be held.” MeanHas BeensWaitingProcessUnderstandingDifferencesResultsCasesMeditationMagicEffectsPositionDrugEthicsMethodMedicineCriticalDietsSubstitutesRegimesNevertheless Book:The training and work of an initiate Source: The training and work of an initiate
