DRUGS A note here on drug-enhanced rituals may be appropriate. Drugs do affect brain function. There is no "but" to this. Drugs affect the body and brain in the manner they are chemically associated with. Drugs may be uppers or downers and some may bring healing while others bring illness or even death. They can approximate the same effects Tantric rituals give. It is also true that drugs normally give a short-lived experience and do not produce permanent brain or body changes of the type Tantra produces but make no mistake, drugs do produce effects. Tantra produces permanent brain and body changes of the type the operator desires. This means the Tantric is in charge of their own brain and body, their own spirituality and attainment. Without drugs, the practice of Tantra produces growth into spiritual attainment that is permanent and is not dependent on any outside need such as a drug, other person, money, location, attitude of society, or any other need at all. The fully attained Tantric needs little and contains all. Yes, you can do drugs. Yes, they will be temporarily effective. No, they will not bring the permanent changes the practice of Tantra will bring. In the practice of Tantra, the outer life is controlled by the inner spirit. In the use of drugs, the inner spirit is controlled by the outer life. Drugs are quick and easy and you will need to stay on them for continued attainment until the side effects drugs bring finally destroy the very vehicle (brain and body) you need to continue growth. So, go ahead with all the drugs you want and can get, just not on this Path and not in these rituals. If that is your Path, do not associate it with this Path. The Tantric grows from the inside spirit and allows that to influence the outer life. This is done through discipline from a set of planned rituals and practices done by the Tantric themselves. Each Tantric sets a pattern of psychological and spiritual conditions through the guidance of their teacher and later through the association with other equals. The Tantric is not alienated from the physical world nor from the spiritual world. Growth in Tantra brings the Tantric into firm association and connection with themselves. Every action, thought, and choice is performed as part of the willingness to grow into the chosen goal. Inner forces are awakened but the Tantric is fully lucid and self-controlled. Continuing awareness is not altered and memory is not lost. The experience is eternal as is the growth and knowledge attained.
