I'm done with drugs and alcohol

[Shin'Ar]

Cyan, how do you know it is your highest and best self taking control when high? Could it be a higher self, but not THE higher self?

When I have smoked recently, I get tuned into literally whatever entity is above my head at the moment. (Consciousness for me is tuned towards the crown when high. Similar mind effects can be experienced while sober by attempting to tune one's consciousness up there, I believe. But in exercising that, I havent come near the effects of actually smoking.)

In my experience, these entities definitely aren't required to have your best interests in mind. And they can feel like something trustworthy, like the higher self. Creating a relationship with the higher self while sober can help build a true discernment.

It is true that there are many fields out there interacting with us at all times, and often our state is not a concern to them. Existence is an ongoing never ending series of interacting fields of consciousness, and if we expose ourselves drunkenly or inadequately to higher powers and energies we may not be able to deal with them or realize their influences until we are forced to suffer some adverse consequences as a result.
