If you think you were enlightened, you weren't.

This is an excerpt from the experience I had.

I was feeling content and peaceful at this point. After the shower I was drying myself off when all of a sudden the bathroom got brighter. It was as if I ā??woke upā?, more like I was ā??shockedā? awake. It just sort of happened. I felt no desire for anything. My mind was split in two. ā??Iā? was witnessing my ego trying to make sense of what was happening. It was a loss of self or should I say I truly found my Self. Pure bliss flooded my body. I was very joyful. Immediately I thought of the Buddha and of what happened to him when he reached Enlightenment. The demon of ego and desire sent his beautiful daughters to tempt the Buddha (in his mind), but he merely gazed upon them, feeling no desire for them, merely witnessing their presence. Thatā??s how I felt that night. I was merely the witness. I felt no desire for sleep, for food, sex, anything like that. All my desires were fulfilled. I was content with just being.


The dangers exist in the rising of Kundalini without knowing how to handle it. And the experience I had, called a Satori, can be dangerous to certain people. I like to think of it as similar to an acid trip, certain people just can't handle acid, so without proper training (which I didn't have, but I guess I was able to handle it ) it can be scary. It's ego loss, so it can be scary, but it's a beautiful experience. I don't mean to scare you into not meditating while stoned, it's just that when you meditate your channeling energies and reaching higher states of consciousness. Weed amplifies this and, for me at least, it ended up taking me to extremely high states of consciousness. That's why I don't meditate stoned anymore. It makes me advance too fast and the slow approach is much better and safer. Everyone is different though and some people enjoy meditating stoned, but I find it better to reach those states naturally and safely. I'd only meditate stoned again if I was in the presence of an experienced Guru.

For me, weed was a way to "find myself" to look deep within and see myself for the first time as I truly was. And I did and I found things out about me. That's the first step towards enlightenment. Searching within. Weed is a very powerful tool to do this with and once you find yourself, once you see yourself as you truly are, then the tool becomes useless.
