Today I asked my Sikh friend what he believed to be the difference between altering consciousness through controlling the breath and altering consciousness through the use of psychedelics or other drugs. He responded by saying that realizations through a gradual process of meditation is more sustainable, stable, and ultimately authentic.
What does music taste like to you?
I’ll say it again;
What does music taste like to you?
When you are allowing your self, not just your mind but your whole being, to be swallowed up and completely immersed into a succulent piece of music, what flavors find their way to your tongue?
And as you savor these delicious sensations, what other feelings do you allow to over come you?
Perhaps this is a common sense for anyone who has gone into the thing we like to call the ego. We give ourselves names and titles and that is suppose to be what we are. After a short bit of searching it is easy to see that we are truly none of these things that we so often choose to use when building the structure of our identity.
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
