Question Hi there! I once heard that if someone does drugs from hash to the ecstasy pill (even if just once) their spiritual growth will start from zero once again. What do you think of that? Is it really that extreme? I also heard that drugs cause yellow spots on one's aura. please tell me whatever you know. thanks!
Answer Drugs are an important part of the spirituality of many cultures. Drugs can help a lot with spiritual growth. They help to open up the collective consciousness and are really beneficial to spirituality for some people because they simulate a spiritual experience. However, drugs are merely a tool. At some point in your spiritual growth you won't need the drugs anymore.
Certain drugs do cause yellow spots on the aura. However, this is because the aura of hallucinogenic/psychotropic plants is yellow. Just like the aura of poisonous plants is pink and edible plants green or blue. The yellow spots fade as the intoxication fades. However, cocaine turns your aura black which makes it really absorbent. You don't want your aura to be absorbent around a bunch of people tweaked on cocaine. Opiates (heroin, morphine, opium, etc.) turn your aura a dark blue which often the colour of a sleeping person's aura. Marijuana/hashish turn your aura green which is good neutral colour for your aura to be.
Many spiritualities encourage use of drugs. Buddha used marijuana/hashish. Jesus likely experimented with magic mushrooms and peyote. Confucius and Lao Tzu likely used opium. Rastafarians use marijuana as a sacrament. Christians use alcohol as a sacrament. Many of the indigenous peoples in the Americas used peyote, magic mushrooms, datura, yage and tobacco as sacraments and tools. There is actually a few schools of thought that suggest that drugs are essential to spiritual growth (Terrance McKenna, Timothy Leary, etc.)
I think the best reference on the subject is Carlos Castaneda. He wrote ten books on his experiences as a apprentice to a shaman sorcerer in Mexico. In the first book his teacher gives him peyote, mushrooms and datura in separate incidences. A few books later, Carlos finds out that the drugs had been bad for his physical body. He asked his teacher why he had given him the drugs. The teacher told him that it was necessary to to show him that there was a spiritual world and different kinds of reality. After the second book there is no more usage of drugs.
Your spiritual growth can never go back to zero because we grow spiritually from experience (even if we are not trying to). Some drugs are dangerous and not good but a lot of them have some beautiful things to teach us.
