As much as the spiritual gurus, zen masters, and enlightened ones say that psychedelics serve no purpose on the spiritual path, I have to disagree.

LSD awakened me to a higher truth, to divine connection to the cosmos, and entirely restructured my reality field. And I owe it almost entirely to the chemical.

Do I think psychedelics are necessary to make progress on the spiritual path? Absolutely not.

I believe everyone has their own way of awakening, each path is unique, but I cannot help but admit my own truth. And that is that LSD was the single most effective tool to help me awaken.

Part of me wants to refrain from saying this, because of a natural inclination to fall into the dogma of many spiritual leaders, even those who I deeply respect and admire such as Sadghuru and Eckhart Tolle.

I do not believe that LSD can awaken everyone. I am sure that there are many people out there that could take a heroic dose of LSD 100 times and get absolutely nothing of spiritual value from it.

But the truth is… this is not about everyone else. This is about you.

One of the most profound lessons I learned from my spiritual awakening is that we are all on an equal playing field. Sadghuru is no better than you or I, although it may seem…
