[FairfieldLife] Re: Drugs, was: Kumbaya
OK, just to irritate Shemp, and possible Vaj, Bhariru, Unc and who knows who else (hey a 4-shot is pretty good) here is another article. Warning!!! Warning The above was intented humor and does NOT endorse irritating people. Warning!!! Warning On Sexual Tantra and Pot. Now we just need the rock'n'roll. (As Jimi was rumored to have said, NOW THATS'S WHOLENESS - Marijuana Reform Marijuana and Sex: A Classic Combination by Terry Necco (01 Sept, 1998) Ancient tantrists and modern researchers agree: pot and sex are two great things that go together. Marijuana and sex are gifts of nature. We enjoy them because biology and evolution have equipped us to do so. Just as our bodies contain pleasure systems which reward us for sex; our brains contain neurocellular circuitry which can only be activated by substances with THC's molecular structure. This makes the marijuana high a unique constellation of feelings, and there are only two sources for the substances which activate THC's very own neuroreceptor. Our brain is one source: it generates a neurochemical very similar to THC, called anandamide. Translated, the word means bliss. The only other source for this bliss-producing substance is the cannabis plant. Being stoned or sexually aroused both produce similar physiological responses, such as increased heart rate, heightened sensitivity, changes in blood flow and respiration, relaxation an acutely altered state of consciousness. Neurochemistry, hormonal systems, and brain regions such as the temporal lobe are affected by both marijuana and sexual arousal. Sex and pot provide us with euphoric peak experiences, unity of body and mind, a healing escape from routine existence. If other people are involved with us in sexual activity or marijuana use, such experiences can be especially intimate and revelatory, facilitating trusting, loving relationships. Pot the aphrodesiac Marijuana has been used as an aphrodisiac for thousands of years, yet ironically it has also been used to decrease sexual desire. Ancient sacred texts reveal how to use marijuana to increase sexual pleasure, but modern research teaches an equally important lesson: marijuana's effects are determined by the personality, physiology, intention, environment, and culture of the user. Ancient India The culture of ancient India is closely associated with sexual marijuana use. Cannabis has been used in India for at least 3,000 years, probably much longer. The Indian Ayurvedic and Unani Tibbi medicine systems used cannabis to increase libido, conquer impotence, and cure various diseases. These systems also utilized opium, sometimes in combination with cannabis. Dozens of formulations containing cannabis were prescribed as aphrodisiacs. Their names are delicious: shrimadananda modaka, uttama vajikarana, majun falaskari, roghan bhang, among others. These formulations were reputed to produce long-lasting erections, delay ejaculation, facilitate lubrication and loosen inhibitions. Tantra Sexual cannabis use which transcended hedonism and medicine rose up in an esoteric Hindu-Buddhist tradition known as Tantra, a mystical religion which prescribes physical and mental exercises like meditation and yoga. These practices are intended to help the practicioner escape suffering and achieve enlightenment and perfection, known as Nirvana. Advanced Tantra marijuana rituals were intense, complex and difficult. Researchers have uncovered sacred texts describing cannabis rituals, but doubt that modern Tantra practitioners still engage in such activities. Modern Tantra has, like many other indigenous spiritual practices, been co-opted by people with little connection to the cultures, communities and environments from which the religions arose. Modern Tantra, though an important source of sexual and spiritual enlightenment, scarcely resembles the hard-core Tantra described in sacred writings like the Mahanirvana Tantra, which was composed in the 11th century AD. Tantra practitioners believe that human bodies contain energy systems consisting of nerves, heart and spiritual elements that are linked to cosmic and nature-based energies. Males and females have differing degrees and types of energy; and yogic sexual practices unite these energies, creating circuits which allow participants to find new heights of intimacy and to transcend egocentric consciousness, helping them realize their timeless place in the universe. Tantric union of male and female energies is thought to facilitate universal balance and to atone for human sins against nature and the cosmos. Tantra cannabis rituals date back at least to 700 AD, and involved groups of purified male and female worshippers who engaged in fasting, chanting, prayer, ceremonial purifications, Kundalini yoga, and sexual union, subjecting body and spirit to excruciating and ecstatic ordeals. Concentration, consecration and transformation were the goals of such rituals, which were conducted in temples

So if I do, it's okay and an exception to any BW statement I have made or will make in the future.

I don't think I said anything in my post about drugs being "good" or "a good thing". My comment was that they were "fun". At least for a teenage kid in high school. I'm also glad I didn't continue using them beyond high school. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

I am for the full legalisation of drugs, as I've posted here many times. But there's nothing -- absolutely no reason -- for participants on a spiritual site to have any suggestions in their minds that drugs are a good thing. Absolutely? So it a totally black and white situation? There couldn't possibly be anything good about drugs for anyone ever? Tell that to Montel Williams... What about Willie Nelson? Bob Marley.. Are these people who have made no spiritual contribution to the world? I think they have... Yeah, and Hitler gave us the autobahn, the first no-smoking laws and full employment...so what's your point? And John Kennedy was also on these amphetamine type drugs, so... Here's the point: Spirituality is not based on if a person is a vegatarian or has never taken any drugs. Spirtuality is based on the amount of love and non-judgement a person is able to live and give, from their heart. Different drugs have been used through the ages for spiritual purposes. Peyote by the American Indians, Coca by the Incas, Marijuana by many people in India and Africa and other places. The crimilization of drugs is the root cause of mafia type crime, and also supports the international business of arms dealing, and associated enterprizes. It's not so much what one puts into their bodies, as what comes out, based on intensions... So, if one finds the use of marijuana helpful, then so be it. When the governmemt decides to treat all drugs equally under the law, the masses will lose the denial of one of the worse drugs of all: Alcohol... Yahoo!
