Spiritual Enlightenment

Reaching a higher state of consciousness and a true state of enlightenment can be achieved with breathing techniques and Meditation practices. Macro-Dosing Entheogens can help an experienced user reach these enlightened states. A common goal for these “Trips” is to achieve Ego Death.

Spiritual enlightenment stems from ancient Buddhist and Hindu religious traditions and is becoming the most commonly practiced form of religion for Millennial’s in America. The younger generation wants to follow spiritual teachings that focus on compassion and a spiritual connection to all living things rather than be controlled by a system of rewards and punishments by governing rules and laws commonly practiced by traditional christian and catholic followers. Does a belief system in a higher power mean you don’t believe in the biblical description of god and the religious models that follow those teachings? Why are we limited to only a handful of religions with ancient traditional teachings, instead of free thought and acceptance of all belief systems and religious practices?

Spirituality gives human beings the freedom to express true inner feelings and thoughts while connecting to a power greater than themselves. There is no right or wrong set of beliefs or teachings when you are living a spiritual lifestyle and pursuing spiritual enlightenment . The Buddhist believe that there are 7 stages of reincarnation until you have reached pure spiritual enlightenment. The four stages of enlightenment in Early Buddhism and Theravada are four progressive stages culminating in full enlightenment as an Arahant, one who has gained insight into the true nature of existence and has achieved nirvana or spiritual enlightenment. These four stages are Sotāpanna, Sakadāgāmi, Anāgāmi, and Arahant. Around the world, we are now seeing the rebirth of a new psychedelic renaissance and several users of entheogens throughout the ages have claimed experiences of spiritual enlightenment with the use of these substances, their use and prevalence through history is well recorded, and continues today. In modern times we have seen increased interest in these practices, for example the rise of interest in Psilocybin mushrooms and Ayahuasca. The psychological effects of these substances have been subject to scientific research focused on understanding their physiological basis. While entheogens do produce glimpses of higher spiritual states, these are always temporary, fading with the effects of the substance. Permanent enlightenment requires making permanent changes in your consciousness through meditation, yogi practices, fasting, and detoxification of the body and mind.
