From "Theology Class" 86. San Jose, CA *Drugs* Q: Okay, um, what do you think of consciousness-expanding drugs that we discovered in our exploration years? B: Again the idea is that all tools are valid. However, recognize that we have observed in your society that one of the, shall I say choices--you would call it tendencies, but I would call it choices--that your society makes is that because they have not been taught that they are already in touch with their aspect of the Infinite, and that the power is from within them, and they don't believe they are in control of their lives, they will continue to put the idea of the power into the external tools that they discover--assuming that the tool has the power to alter the state of consciousness in the way they want to alter it. It is all well and good to use it as a trigger, as a catalyst, to show you what realms, what dimensions you can expand into.
