Question: Beloved Masters, I ask you to tell what happens to the three upper bodies of a person and his consciousness when he takes various psychedelic plants and mushrooms. How dangerous for progressive spiritual growth are such experiences and substances that enter the human body? It seems to me that such practices are an attempt to take heaven by force.
Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2024 Easter webinar.
Kim Michaels. Well, I actually do not sense the masters want to comment on it because they have commented on this before and have said that they do not recommend it. You have to understand something very simple here. The ascended masters are not trying to judge or condemn or put down anybody. They are always trying to give a message that helps people grow. They know that there is an awful lot of people since the 1960s and even today who have taken various kinds of drugs, psychedelics or whatever. And they do not want to in any way discourage these people from embracing the true path and walking the path. They are not trying to say that if you have taken drugs, you cannot make your ascension.
They would never say something like that. And I do not actually think that is the case either. But it is clear that it has an effect on the identity, mental, and emotional bodies. Especially the emotional body, it can, you know, the conscious mind has the function of evaluating what you allow to come into your force field. And when you sort of neutralize the conscious mind by taking drugs, you become more open especially at the emotional level. There are many people that have opened themselves up to these lower entities by taking drugs or alcohol. But there are of course many other activities that can do the same thing. What the masters want people to understand is that by sincerely walking the path you can overcome these effects. It is not something that is irreparable. But of course, you know, you cannot take the teachings of the ascended masters, study the teachings and apply the invocations and decrees, and keep thinking that you can continue to take drugs or drink alcohol.
If you really want to make your ascension, you have to give up everything on earth including these substances. I mean, it is just, you know, there comes a point where you have to make a choice. Clearly it has an effect. Clearly it is not helping you grow. But it is not like you cannot overcome it. But of course, at some point you just have to stop. It just has to be enough and you have to decide what it is you want. Do you want to ascend, or do you want to continue having embodiments where you explore what these physical substances can do to the physical body and brain.
And it is true that there are people who use these substances to try to take heaven by force because they think that if they have some experience that is beyond their normal level of consciousness, that is the same as spiritual growth. But it is not because an experience does not necessarily raise your level of consciousness on a long-term basis. You raise the level of consciousness by resolving the psychology, seeing the illusions, getting rid of these separate selves.
And you can have any kind of experience. Even a genuine mystical experience that is not based on drugs is not the same as raising your consciousness. It can be an impetus or frame of reference for raising your consciousness. But it is not automatically going to raise your consciousness.
