    After about 20 years

    After about 20 years of smoking weed i found something else. Im really curious to see the responses on this. Or lack of.

    About 13 years ago i was doing a job for some psychics. They wanted to do a trade out. Which is normal in the small town i was working in. So i said, "ok." Told me to go sit down and stay still and she left the room. While i sat there i felt like emotions of fear began hitting me. I thought i don't think thats good. She came back after about 5 minutes or so and asked what i experienced. Having an open mind i decided to continued whatever this was. I have heard of meditation but i dont think i ever actually knew what it was.

    For whatever the reason as there were a few or so and don't know exactly which one was driving me i decided to have a daily practice of meditation. I became overwhelmed in curiosity and devotion to the practice to see where it would lead me.

    I wound up going to India to spend some time at an ashram. Another in the states. My practice became more important to me than other things. Not beyond my personal responsibilities to earn a living and being accountable for my life. I did walk away from a successful business i had so i can have more of my attention on my practice.

    Over time i began to experience getting high sorta like smoking weed but without the side effects i would get from smoking. During much of this time i continued to smoke a little bit of weed. Then i stopped because i became confused about what was this joy coming from. The weed? The meditation practice? so i totally stopped smoking weed. It was weird going to sleep without being stoned to some degree. As time went on i began to experience this high for longer and longer periods of time. I began to feel a little nuts. Simply because i didn't know how this is possible? I have heard some things. Read some things. But try talking to somebody into spirituality that you get high like your smoking weed. They have no idea. Later this high stuck. In that it became to be always there.

    Finally i met a guru whom could explain to me what is going on. I felt so relieved. The feminine aspect of the divine for lack of a better word expresses herself through the nervous system as joy.

    Its a very unusual experience. I doubt you will find many who share similar experiences. Much of the odd "spiritual" experiences i had weren't all that pleasant or blissful. Like feeling stuck between awake and asleep. Like stuck between two worlds unsure of whether either is real.

    Sometimes i have an urge to express certain things but also realize it can be self-defeating.

      lots of spiritual pheomena along the road. for me it was sometimes overwhelming and hellish at times. lots of stuff has to clear out.

        i hope this thread isn't interpreted as anti weed or anything. i have always wanted to share this to people whom smoke cause i did so its how i relate and i think people whom have may be at an advantage if they happen to begin a practice. for many reasons. i think. from simply being more open from the weed and the mind being more open as well.

          you're all good. something is only "anti" if you're telling other people they shouldn't do something.
          you're just sharing your experiences which is often interesting and useful to others : )

          today it is this

          1. daily meditation
          2. most days. ttruck driving. when i drive i expand from the atmosphere and planet. which is why i became a trucker.
          3. couple days a week. prranayama while i run.

          what i used to do

          1. daily meditation
          2. daily go into trance to open up to the current.
          3. for the first couple years. smoke just enough weed to get the current going.
          4. meditation with gurus. most of which would transmit shakti(current)

          my practice changed as i progressed. when i became open to the bliss continuously i saw no reason to go into trance. later i found i was no longer getting much out of meditating with gurus.
