A very very addicting drug. A very powerful and transforming drug that immediately alters one's consciousness. Many many years ago When upon my first arrival in Delhi India, before I had been with any of my Spiritual Teachers I was staying at the Delhi Hotel, open rooms with many people sharing each room. I wandered into a room with a few Thai guys sitting around smoking herb.Thsy invited me in and asked if I wanted to smoke some herb with heroin. Dumb me, knowing nothing about Heroin, I said sure...why not. Instantly It hit me, like someone pulling a shade to block out the sunshine, the drug literally swept over my vision like a tide coming in. I watched it come over my vision like that shade coming down slowly. Such a powerful feeling of being above everything in a warm atmosphere of delusional ecstacy. I can't describe it, it totally was in control and I was a pawn in it's grip. AS the hours passed and i was laying in my room in a delusional fantasy, suddenly an overwhelming urge hit me and I had to have more. HAD TO have more. Every fiber of my being was desperately wanting more. It was in control demanding that I fulfill it's desire to get back to that place where the drug had taken me. I went back to those Thai guys and asked for more. They literally kept me from becoming an addict to Heroin. They said no because I would become addicted. I had never experienced being a pawn to such a drug. Eventually it wore completely off and I was back to normal. Realizing what I had just gone through was the greatest lie, the greatest illusion that had taken control of me and was dictating me to get more, I finally had a great understanding of the perils of the drug. Thankfully, I realized that it was an experience that I had been placed within for an understanding of that scene affecting consciousness so I could move on to my Spiritual Teachers that would open the door to that Absolute Truth which is beyond the Mind and the Ego. Literally I was taken to my first Teacher that opened the door to my understanding. And each different Spiritual Master that I was with in India, progressively opened the door a little more for me to experience and understand the illusion of this world. When I think back on this, I was very very fortunate to not have been trapped into an addiction to Heroin. And realizing that I had divine guidance through all of this in this experience and taking me to my Spiritual Masters in India...it's overwhelming. Blessings Be.

baba, that was more than you have said that I have read on here. That was a great story too. I never smoked heroin much less in that kind of dubious company. They did save your life. That is clear. You co-created the path that you were meant to be on. Also, doing drugs like that, caused me to see the lure of addiction. It is not the high. It is the ecstacy. We want to get back to the garden. We want GOD. If I had not done the drugs I took, LSD, Peyote, Psylocibin and the like... I would never have even touched the idea of what GOD was. So, they did serve a purpose. The purpose was to know God and know that drugs would never take me there.
It's referred to "Chasing the Dragon," in the UK, in reference to smoking it rather than injecting it. They light a flame under a piece of foil and inhale the smoke from the heroin with a rolled up bill, chasing it around the foil.
Well explaining it can help with the visual. I'm ok, in pain but ok. I have another week with the fox trap, so I'm hoping I can capture them and get them treated :)

I have no idea what this means. LOL I hope the pain subsists. I do not know the fox story. I just know you are in pain and I have a very compassionate heart towards people in pain. Here's to finding relief soon. I pray for that for you.
