Altered States and Mind Power

Many years ago, I was given a stern warning, by my otherworldly-metaphysical teachers, to avoid mind-altering substances, especially while working with the universe. When you want to get involved with mind power, a clear and sound mind is necessary in order to avoid deception or a takeover of one's powers.

As Mattie Ross said, in the orginal True Grit movie regarding whiskey, "I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains!"

This quote resonated with me because of what I've discovered. Whether it's whiskey or any mind-altering substance, there are those elements, sitting around like hungry vultures, just waiting for a chance to take over another's life; to use another's power.

I was also advised that It's okay to enjoy life but don't drive - or meditate - under the influence. It is seriously frowned on by these teachers.

This warning reminded me of a South American Shaman who took a mind-altering substance and decided to seek out God via meditation. Bad decision on his part, because he, based on his story, was seriously reprimanded by the Creator and was told never to enter into his energy field again, in that state of mind.

This made me think of others whose minds could be entering into another's energy field, under the influence, and possibly being used for mind power attacks as well as subjecting others with a plethora of unexplained emotions. Which is why I was warned, when dealing with power, a sound mind is vital. It prevents someone from making hasty and detrimental decisions.

Lastly, a takeover can occur with a sound mind but it's often recovered faster than someone who isn't. I feel it may be why many people are often used in another form of mind-altering state to hurt someone - a dream state - via astral projection. If you aren't dreaming or recalling your dreams, this may be a form of protection; to keep your mind from being used. Ask anyone who's been there.
