Ahh, drugs sex and rock and roll. The basic “go-to” spiritual initiation into adulthood which our culture offers. What we’re looking for when we get high is more life, more reality, less boredom. And it works, for a while.
One of the things that makes The New Methodist Church unique, and very useful for our time is our recognition that getting high is, at root, an urge toward self-realization. In our culture, it is the daily sacrament for millions of people. So be it. Don’t bogart that wafer, my friend. (An earlier rendition of the New Methodist Church was the High Country Church, in service to which a number of us old friends would go out into the country, get high and talk about church!)
That said, please see my book, The Potless Pot High: How to Get High, Clear and Spunky without Weed. Getting high can be a method towards understanding and incorporating Prosperity Consciousness. Alas, in the end, it is quite inefficient and can, if one is not careful, lead one into many alleys and dead-ends, sometimes literally so.
Question of the Week
For the past 20 or 30 years or so, a number of us have been meeting on a weekly basis to discuss topics of “Buddhist Methodist” import. Ten years or so ago (unlike most Methodists and a majority of Buddhists, our archives and record keeping are kept more spontaneously than rigorously) we started sending out a “question of the week” prior to our meeting in order to kick off our
discussion. Most of us, find the “discussion starters” to be quite useful, though a few find such a format restrictive. Nevertheless, recently, it was suggested I start posting these questions of the week here on our website., for the growing number of “non-locals” who find this site useful, or at least interesting. I’ll add more questions– both new and from the archives, as time and inclination allow.4/22/18 Question of the Week: Big I and Little I, Ram Dass , Don Juan and Joel Goldsmith
