The Spiritual Dangers of Drugs and Plant Hallucinogens
The longing for higher spiritual experiences and expanded consciousness is natural. Yet there is a growing trend of using drugs or hallucinogenic plants that often induce “spiritual experiences” which is the result of forcing open the chakras. This practice has been called “taking heaven by force.”
The teachings of the Ascended Masters are clear: this path does not lead to true enlightenment, but to spiritual depletion, loss of divine Light, and entanglement with impure realms and discarnate entities. The consequences can be severe, lasting not only for this life, but potentially for many embodiments to come.
The Astral Plane: A Realm of Impurity and Danger
The first danger lies in misunderstanding the nature of the nonphysical worlds. The astral plane is not a realm of pure spiritual Light, but a vast repository for all of humanity’s impure, unresolved, and destructive thoughts and feelings. It is literally the sewer of this planetary body.
When you use drugs or hallucinogens to “open” your chakras, your consciousness is not drawn up to the higher octaves of the Spirit realms. Instead, you enter the astral plane, exposing yourself to the psychic visions in a polluted atmosphere.
This plane may seem exalted, but you’re actually swimming in the mire of various astral levels. This realm is filled with discarnates—souls who have not moved on, as well as mass entities and negative forces that feed on the energies of the living.
The astral plane is a dangerous, polluted repository where these discarnates often seek to influence or attach themselves to those who open themselves psychically without proper spiritual protection or lawful preparation. These are the impostors of the true adepts who unfortunately, too many spiritual seekers fall prey to by thinking they have met a true master or guide.
Engaging with Discarnates: Permanent Loss of Life Force
One of the gravest dangers of forced psychic activity—whether through hallucinogens, channeling, or other means—is the loss of your life energy, the Light that flows from your I AM Presence through your chakras. When you engage with discarnates or astral entities, especially through forced or artificial means, you can lose a portion of your divine Light permanently. This is not a temporary setback. The Teachings warn that the Light lost in this way may take many embodiments to regain.
The chakras are meant to be crystal chalices for the flow of sacred fire from your I AM Presence, through your Christ Self and to your soul encased in your four-lower bodies. Forcing your chakras open through drugs or psychic shortcuts is like smashing a sealed vessel: the Light is spilled and siphoned off by entities of the astral plane rather than being released in a God-directed way to build your causal body and gain spiritual attainment.
This loss of Light weakens your spiritual protection, makes you vulnerable to further negative influence, and can leave you feeling depleted, fragmented, and cut off from your true divine Source. It can also cause many health issues in the body and mind.
Psychic Experience vs. Spiritual Mastery
Drugs and forced psychic methods do not grant mastery over the chakras or union with the Christ Self. Instead, they bypass the lawful, heart-centered path of spiritual discipline, surrender and obedience to your divine plan. The result is a flood of psychic impressions—visions, voices, sensations—that may seem profound but are rooted in the astral body, not the purified spiritual realms of the etheric plane, the Christ consciousness or the causal body.
True spiritual experience is marked by purity of thought, love, inner harmony and alignment with Christ and the threefold flame—the divine spark within the heart. Psychic phenomena accessed through drugs or other forced methods are colored by the collective unconscious of mankind and can open the door to negative influences, emotional instability, and even possession by astral entities. The Masters teach that discernment is essential: not all nonphysical experiences are of God.
The Lawful Path: Purity, Protection, and Spiritual Discipline
The Ascended Masters offer a clear, practical alternative. Lawful opening of the chakras comes through purification of motives, thoughts, and feelings, and through mastery of the heart. The Science of the Spoken Word, decrees to the violet flame, and calls to Archangel Michael and the heavenly hosts are recommended to purify the four lower bodies and transmute astral substance.
Key spiritual safeguards include:
- Daily Decree Practice: Set aside uninterrupted time for dynamic decrees, beginning with an invocation in the name of your own Holy Christ Self.
- Spiritual Protection: Always invoke the tube of light and call to Archangel Michael before engaging in spiritual work. Increased Light can draw darkness if you are not protected.
- Violet Flame: Use violet flame decrees and visualizations to transmute karma, negativity, and any astral substance you may have taken on.
- Calling to Mighty Astrea: Call to Astrea to cut you free from negative ties, bad habits, and residual the influences of drugs and discarnates.
- Clean, Uplifted Space: Create a dedicated, clean, and spiritually charged area for your practice.
- Service and Alignment: Center your spiritual life in service, prayer, and meditation, focusing on building your causal body and balancing karma.
The Cost of Psychic Shortcuts
The Teachings are direct: engaging with discarnates or seeking psychic experiences through drugs or forced methods is not only spiritually dangerous—it can set your soul back for lifetimes. The Light lost to the astral plane and entities is not easily regained and may require many embodiments of spiritual effort to restore. This is a violation of spiritual law, and the consequences can include depletion, confusion, spiritual darkness, and vulnerability to further astral entanglement.
Practical Steps for Spiritual Seekers
If you have been tempted by or involved in forced methods to experience spirituality, stop and reassess your motives and desires. The path of the Ascended Masters is not about spectacle, pride or sensation, but rather true inner transformation. Begin by invoking the violet flame to transmute any misqualified energy or astral substance you may have taken on. Call to Archangel Michael for protection and to Mighty Astrea to cut you free from any negative ties to the astral plane.
Center your practice in the heart and seek the guidance of your Christ Self. Remember: the way to heaven is guarded by the Law and the flaming sword of the Christ Consciousness—not by drugs, not by force, but by obedience, purity, love and self-mastery.
Conclusion
Forcing open your chakras with drugs or hallucinogens, or engaging with discarnates and psychic phenomena without lawful spiritual preparation, is not spiritual advancement—it is spiritual peril. The astral plane is not the realm of divine Light, but of collective human impurity and entities that can drain your life force. Protect your Light, practice discernment, and walk the lawful path of the Masters. In this way, you will retain your Light, build your causal body, and progress steadily toward your true spiritual destiny.
