"It would seem to prove that there is a very small portion of our brains that we really use."

* That is quite true.

"Could you elaborate more on these dangerous experiences that you speak of?"

* "EVERYONE I know of who tried to tap into their own essence while smoking Marijuana had very dangerous experiences." Keeping the experiences in context, I have seen people become mentally disoriented and cannot connect two sentences. They were in a more extreme state than a few posters on this board. Some process their experiences so badly that they try to kill others, even their own friends and family members. Some ended up in the mental hospital. These are the most noticeable.

"And better yet, explain what you mean by "tap into their own essence""

* I tapped into my own essence. Sharing that experience and process allows other people to do the same and get quite high. If they are progressively developing, they will be able to sustain increasingly higher highs indefinitely. I have shared this experience with several others whom I felt to assist. People do not have to meet face to face to experience their own essence in a conscious way. I am limiting what I am saying so as not to feed words to people who do not have similar experiences. People should try whatever they feel will work for them.

I work with people of different races who also engage their own essence. Once engaging their own essence, many initially may not like what they discover about themselves. Some end up being quite disappointed to realize that what they wanted is not what is in their self interest. Their awakened essence will not be a willing slave to their unreasonable desires.

"Maybe if you did, it would serve as a huge deterrent."

* I am not trying to deter people in general from smoking marijuana. I feel they should smoke if they want. I only caution those whom I work with directly about the danger in using these stimulants while attempting to consciously develop. I will not invest too much time with people whom I feel will not be able to sustain high states of consciousness because they have a dependency that lifts them in the short term, but limits them in the long term. I think it is important that people be aware that they can develop a natural high and sustain it through education.
