I have a confession to make.

While your pity is appreciated, it does not apply in my respect.

My knowledge comes from tested and true methods of communication, not blind intuition nor drug use.

I didn't read in caycegal's post that anyone was accusing you of either.

Why else mention drug use and a counterpoint to the negative polarity in this thread?

I read that as a rather more general musing rather than a counterpoint, considering all of the posts on this site which express interest in drug use as some kind of evolutionary aid. To me the drug use, while possibly offering some insights into what is possible, can only ultimately serve as a form of distraction and escapsim if such insights are not grounded. That is, the unbalanced nature of the lower self is not somehow brought into balance through that experience. You still have to work directly with those lower levels in order to support the higher, and that work can be put on indefinite hold through identification with states, frames which bring us into contact with the infinite aspects of self through mere suggestion. The mind does not know the difference between suggestion and actual experience. With the suggestion, however, the self is effectively being displaced on a pedestal.
