As I watch my parents memory decline drastically from this death shot, I sometimes investigate to see what could possibly be done for them.
I've come across something interesting, probably a long shot, but been focusing on substances that increase neurogenesis.
Psychedelics have been shown to increase neurogenesis. One that is really serious and surprisingly effective is ibogaine.
Ibogaine has been used to get people off of heroin, alcohol, and other addictive substances in one treatment. It is being researched in Parkinson's disease. It really is miraculous if you look at the data.
Now, it is incredibly taxing on the body. If you have anyone suffering from addiction, you should look into this. It is pretty expensive and kind of dangerous if done alone, so there are clinics in Mexico that do this under strict medical supervision.
But it is being used for Parkinson's because it increases GDNF, which can help the brain grow new dopaminergic cells. Addicts come out of the treatment feeling pretty damn good. Veterans are starting to go for PTSD- Sean Ryan did this exact treatment.
The question I have is if anyone uses this, especially us God-Fearing people, is this a sin? I know psychedelics are entering into other realms, other entities, and is something God has warned about. There is definite spiritual danger in messing with psychedelics.
Using it strictly for medicinal purposes, not to speak with entities or to get high, but to help PTSD, neurogenesis, etc. What's your opinion on the nature of this. How do you think God views this?
There are some great Christians in this place, smarter and better than me. Would love to know what you guys think from a sin perspective.
No, it's not a sin. Yes, intention means everything. The Bible as it is presented to us is used as a control mechanism to anchor the human race and keep us from finding our true purpose. You can be a true believer in God without the use of a man made narrative like the Bible. Use your own God given power of discernment, not the preachings of a corrupted system called "religion" to guide your moral compass.
I am a true believer in God and Christ and also routinely use psychedelics to reset my self when I feel it's needed. I came to this practice when literally everything else I tried failed me. It saved and transformed my life for the better.
Try it and see for yourself. However, I will caution you on when to try it. If you are not 100% ready for the experience, you risk having a bad one. And you must properly prepare yourself for that journey. Pray on it, fast, hydrate, and then embark on your journey. It'll change your life for the positive, forever.
Thank you. Your way of thinking is what I believe too.
If using psychedelics to mingle with other spirits and wanting to have "spiritual" experience, this is what I believe is forbidden.
But trying to better your life, habits, addictions, or even your physical brain, I think God would be accepting of that as long as you're not trying to find another "god'.
