It’s an interesting article and motivated me to register here. I had posted extensively at Daniel Pinchbeck’s old website http://breakingopenthehead.com where he and I briefly exchanged comments about this “yoga and psychedelics” issue.
First of all you write about yoga from books and your books are actually very limited. For example the teacher of Ram Dass—if you read his biography—it’s VERY CLEAR that drugs are nothing to him. What I have emphasized over and over to Daniel is that true yoga energy is ELECTROMAGNETIC whereas psychedelics are mainly electrochemical. I, myself, studied with a qigong master who currently heals people of late-term cancer and he’s worked with the Mayo Clinic—Chunyi Lin—http://springforestqigong.com. I can assure you that when he just looks at you while sending energy into you it’s just like a laser that creates this blissful burning. He does long distance phone healing all the time and he sat in full-lotus in a cave for a month straight—with no sleep, no food and no water intake. Again this is electromagnetic energy and it’s almost impossible for a Westerner to even IMAGINE what it’s like.
Secondly to create this healing and spirit travel energy relies on storing up and transforming the sex energy—precisely that which is used most freely in the West. So that’s exactly why finding a true teacher—an energy master—is so rare in the West (instead people read a few books and then rely on teachers who don’t have real abilities).
As far as tantra goes—the best book I recommend for yoga is “TAOIST YOGA: ALCHEMY AND IMMORTALITY” by Charles Luk. That book states that even NO SALT must be eaten, along with no “lugubrious” plants like garlic, onions and leeks—which create sex fluid. The whole point, again, is to CONVERT sex fluid into electromagnetic energy—through the pineal gland. So in tantra you take in the electrochemical energy directly (instead of sex fluid or food which turns into sex fluid like meat)—and then this sex electrochemical energy (called N/UM by the original tantra healers, the Bushmen)—turns into electromagnetic energy.
Currently I eat a “normal” diet which means meat and sugar and salt—but I also sit in full-lotus while doing energy healing (the electromagnetic energy as spirit travel shoots out my pineal gland with other people’s electrochemical emotional blockages are sucked in to my lower body, through the full-lotus pressure on my legs). Sometimes I rely on alcohol to counteract the anerobic bacteria from the meat and sugar—and I have to eat a lot of fruit to have potassium to counteract the salt. Potassium is really the secret to the electromagnetic energy build-up, as CIA-funded psychedelic paranormal research Dr. Andrija Puharich details in his book “BEYOND TELEPATHY.” But in terms of classical tantra I literally have to eat at least a bulb of garlic a day to counteract the sugar and meat anerobic bacteria. Full-lotus yoga, electrochemically, relies on ionizing the serotonin in the stomach through ultrasound harmonics (the silence in the brain). Normally serotonin can not bypass the blood-brain barrier but if it’s ionized then it does so through the parasympathetic vagus nerve—along with ANEROBIC BACTERIA. That’s why the electrochemical intake is so sensitive and why “purification” is necessary.
So diet is extremely sensitive and it’s a constant struggle. I, myself, went 8 days on just half a glass of water, yet was never hungry, nor thirsty. During those 8 days of “bigu” as it’s called in qigong, I created stronger and stronger electromagnetic fields. I used that energy to do some healing but I also had some powerful electromagnetic spirit “accidents” which freaked people out—especially considering that you’re not supposed to go without food and water for 8 days. haha. The real yoga energy is not only rare but it’s dangerous unless under the guidance of a true energy master—which is why the typical energy master just has one real student. For example I saw Chunyi Lin’s student, Jim Nance, get trained into an energy master and now he also can do long distance healing.
To compare the psychedelics with the yoga training I took salvia while in full-lotus. My research already indicated that psychedelics work by over-riding the inhibitory role of the thalamus so that the cerebellum directly downloads otherwise subconsious images to the cerebral cortex. Because of my qigong full-lotus training I can already “flex” my pineal gland and it’s permanently magnetized with bliss. So I had to keep taking stronger and stronger salvia while I sat in full-lotus—and what happened is that I would have internal climaxes. I would have about 6 internal climaxes from a good hit of 17x salvia—or from chewing good leaves. The secret of yoga is for the male to have no ejaculation since male ejaculation activates the sympathetic stress nervous system—and instead to have internal climaxes which transform testosterone into serotonin and oxytocin and then the melatonin and DMT—but again real yoga is converting the electrochemicals into ELECTROMAGNETIC energy. So finally I just kept blacking out from taking really deep and many hits of salvia—hitting Level 6. After several times of waking up while still in full-lotus, I then had a vision where I saw rainbows around my hands—even though I was in a pitch dark room, with my eyes closed, and a hat covering my eyes. So it was my pineal gland seeing the rainbows. That night I dreamt of the artwork from my breakfast room when I was a kid—it was the same psychedelic rainbows. I emailed my mom and she said it was MOLA artwork so I googled it and it’s from the KUNA people of Panama who smoke pot religously. Then I learned that saliva activates the cannabinoid receptors just like pot.
So yes the psychedelic experience was fascinating—and the salvia even tried to pull my spirit out of my body. In fact I have a friend who has done every type of drug but is scared of salvia because his spirit was pulled into the floor. He just took that one hit and never took another. For me, again I was in full-lotus and the ELECTROMAGENTIC force of my pineal gland was more powerful than the electrochemical force of the psychedelic—so I literally laughed at the salvia as my spirit was half-way out of my body. In other words if and when there is spirit travel with drugs it’s limited by the lack of electromagnetic energy.
I’ve done tons of research all after my masters thesis on this subject—and I’ve corresponded with many professors and various other researchers online—here’s my blogbook http://mothershiplanding.blogspot.com plus I have several articles freely available online and my masters thesis linked at http://nonduality.com/hempel.htm
