Dear RP - Do you disagree with partaking of the herb which led us to the discovery of 0, and of oo, and of god and science? With the seeds being perfect food, and the resins being the lost vitamin, being so under fire this last century of war, and being the greatest source of fiber for all uses, and being one of the strongest and most beautiful of plants, can it be bad? If I have partaken as long as I can remember, and merit this personal response from RP Singh, can it have done me too much harm? I do now the job of a 20-something, at almost 50, and do it like five of them. I can't be doing anything too...oo wrong, right? That is how I figure it.

It is the mind which is aware and as the mind is finite , whatever it is aware of is also finite. The very fact that the so-called transcendental state can be experienced through use of entheogens casts a doubt about its spiritual nature. A person experiences such a state and when he comes out of it is just his ordinary self. God-state cannot be experienced by any being as it is beyond experience and can only be understood. We find it difficult to accept that we are mortal and hence believe in re-incarnation etc. The fact is that the " I " has nowhere to go on the death of the organism , it is simply an attribute of life and is no more on the death of the body , and is thus just an " illusion " . This is , of course , my reading of the matter and can be erroneous as my reason is not infallible and is subject to my limitations.
