Definiteness of Purpose:

Many religions (not cults or sects),  religious preaching... most testaments may tell you to not indulge. The singular reason why religion has propagated against intoxication or such indulgences is you will remain just animals.  The reason is that for most people Indulgence is just an escape, a break with no purpose. The subliminal need is to go beyond but in the unconscious. It is true that Indulgence of any sort without definiteness of purpose can be quite counterproductive.  

In reality, however, through any Indulgence, you don't become.... only what you really are shows up.  With a certain level of clarity, definiteness of purpose Indulgence has been put to great use!

Let me narrate to you an incident:

I was travelling one time in the Himalayas, trekking to Kedarnath and I met a Yogi at a tea stall.  He was busy smoking hash. He took long deep smoking drag, rolled his eyes as if guiding the zonk straight to his head.  Then looked at me peering into my eyes... I matched his stare... and said... so you have a question!!  As a matter fact I did!  But I, being a trained skeptic, thought that this yogi is just trying the usual gimmick so I cleverly dodged him (or so I thought) and gave him a smart reply.  Since you know I have a question... why don't you tell me what it is and answer it too.


He said "Some of us (Yogis) smoke (hash) to train our brain to achieve a certain level of awareness.  We then remember that state and practice achieving it without!  Many of us in advanced stage of practice can induce these states just breathing fresh air and nothing else!"  Go on in your journey and Bholenath (Lord Shiva) will guide you!  Honestly I was humbled... this was my question about indulging in DMT by the Yogis and the answer quite profound! Such is definiteness of purpose.
