RFK Jr. is going to open up psychedelics as a medical option, I believe this is his intention for depression, PTSD, etc.
We know the deep state has kept it illegal for some reason, probably $$.
For veterans who have treated their PTSD, I've read and listened to incredible results.
Ibogaine has shown great promise for vets, as well as mushrooms, and other psychedelics. Ibogaine is being used in Mexico and Canada for addiction, PTSD for vets and people, and addiction in general.
I keep hearing from Christians that psychedelics is opening yourself up to the spiritual realm and that it is absolutely forbidden by God.
To our bible scholars and strong Christians here, is this true?
This issue is very confusing to me because I believe God made these plants and natural medicines, it's HOW we use them that matters. If it can help so many people, and God made it, isn't it legal to use if not being used in a demonic way?
OR
Is this deception- Is this Satan trying to open a door into us with a promise to "heal" our worries, mental health, and even physical health- but is really Pharmakeia aka "witchcraft"?
Should Christians be open to using psychedelics to heal from trauma, addiction, PTSD, and depression?
Scripture references would be great if you have them, but would love to hear your opinions on it.
Before I was a Christian, I tried psychedelics extensively: cannabis, LSD, Amanitas, Salvia Divinorum, and Ayahuasca. After getting saved, I can say with total certainty that psychedelics are completely demonic. The people who were around me during these experiences had all sorts of encounters with entities such as "the serpent spirit" or "the mantis spirit". For some reason, (which I now know to be the grace of God), I was shielded from making direct contact with the evil spirits, but I heard their voices several times. I later did make direct contact with the demons while practicing Vipassana meditation, but that's another story.
If you want to know specifically how psychedelics work from a spiritual perspective, it's like this. Every person's soul has a gateway into the spiritual dimension (this is the "tunnel" that people experience when breaking through on DMT). However, that gateway was designed by God to let only Jesus Christ of Nazareth through, for a person who has chosen to repent of their sins and believe that Jesus died for their sins and rose again. That's what it means in Revelation when Jesus says, "I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
Psychedelic drugs basically rip that door open to the realm of wicked fallen angels and illegal entities. Because they were formerly angels of God, they can present themselves as beautiful and powerful "ascended masters", and have such spiritual potency that it can easily feel like you are merging with some kind of "universal superconsciousness." But the Bible is very clear: "Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God, And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
I get that they can be used in demonic ways.
But I also hear it has lead people to Christ.
What I'm most intrigued is that it is healing people of PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, etc.
If used with the intention for therapeutic purposes, you still disagree with it's use?What if we are already saved and trying to heal? Veterans who have PTSD or those with severe addictions?
You can watch this video of a guy who tried doing mushrooms after getting saved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BmqCZMLjEE
From a spiritual perspective, using psychedelics to get healing from spiritual or mental disorders is like trying to break and enter into a rich man's house to take his belongings. When in fact, that same rich man has already promised all his riches to everyone who decides to be adopted into his family. The rich man is God, and the choosing to be adopted is believing in Jesus. This is what Jesus means when He said, "He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."
From firsthand experience, I can tell you that most of the people who try psychedelics to get healing do not end up encountering Jesus Christ the Lord. Most of the time, they encounter machine elves (aka demons), serpentine or animal spirits (aka demons), "universal superconsciousness" (aka the mind of Satan), aliens (aka demons), or "ascended masters" (aka demons).
I know intention is the most important as I know this is not a game.
But there is certainly subconscious activity going on in someone's mind that the typical individual cannot access.
I've heard many who've gone to church, tried everything they could with the lord, and didn't see results. Psychedelics helped them access something in their subconscious to work out these problems. How do we define something like this?
I know Satan has used drugs to corrupt humanity. But could it also be possible that God has also released plant medicine to help combat addiction and ptsd for those who cannot otherwise access healing by other means?
If you're going in there to talk to spirits and demons, sure, that is incredibly dangerous. But to go in to try to look into your subconscious mind to work out whatever is going on seems to be where the healing takes place.
Many do psychedelics to help them with addictions. Then they stop drugs. Is this what Satan or God wants?
I don't pretend to know the answers to these questions, but I find it very intriguing. Obviously, idolizing these plants should not be done.
I am not talking about doing psychedelics recreationally. I'm talking about doing them specifically to heal with the intention to heal from trauma, ptsd, addiction, etc. I know God can do anything. But can't he heal through these medicines?
