Pot - the New Religion?
January 29, 2013
I can see ʻCertified Marijuana Instructorsʼ as the new breed of
Religion Salesman replacing the Pastors, Ministers, Rabbiʼs,
Priests, Imams, and other well meaning holy conduits for god.
They could be referred to as Shamanʼs. Shamanʼs have been
around since Pre Christian, or Paleolithic times, and may well have been the predecessors of all religions
of ancient times which still rule the minds of billions today.

Religions today are divided into super groups as in Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, etc., and they in turn are
broken into large groups, usually at odds with each other, and then those large groups are broken down
into thousands of smaller groups, and then they are further broken down. For example, Christianity is
broken down into one of the large groups called Protestants, who refer to all other groups as ʻnot
Christianʼ. An example of one Christian medium size group of Protestants are Baptists, which spread to
many smaller groups such as ʻConservative Baptistsʼ. Some of those groups cater to ethnicities, and are
        further broken down.

        After many, many centuries the religions are still at war with each other. Somethingʼs gone wrong!
        Maybe itʼs just ʻreligionʼ and what itʼs based on while sending many mixed messages! Ever hear
        of classes on love in our schools?

        Religions involve an ʻaltered state of consciousnessʼ to the point where some advocate
        ʻtalking in tonguesʼ. Religion is suppose to be about connecting with the spiritual world to
        put it very generally, and create harmony in the people for this, and the next life. A
        Shaman is regarded as having access to, and influence in the spirit world with
        benevolent and malevolent spirits. A Shaman, unlike current ʻreligion salesmenʼ, has an
        open mind to explore and consider all possibilities of higher consciousness apart from
        words of people long passed who have little or no records of even having existed.

         The ʻNewʼ shaman has the ability to merge with the god spirit which has no definition but
is in the spirit of our lives. Some Shaman are adept at skillfully using natures spirits to assist in
the evolvement of consciousness. That ʻskillʼ may involve the use psychoactive drugs grown in
nature, like cannabis or marijuana. Proper use of such stimulants will appreciably advance the
ʻconsciousness raising processʼ that has been clogged and perverted with good intent since all
history of humanity. A Shaman may suggest jump starting consciousness with a variety of
imbibing plants that may have been modified but still natural. A true Shaman will also practice,
and teach the elements of meditation and love once the process of ʻjump startingʼ consciousness has
begun. The ʻspiritual worldʼ is silent, euphoric, and a creator of divine harmony for all humanity. Time to let
go of what hasnʼt worked, and try new methods on the journey to enlightenment.
