Its been said that drugs are windows to the path of enlightenment, but not the door and never the path itself.

But speaking of "astral spaces" it is fairly interesting to compare drugs to social media and the causal effects it would have upon consciousness based on the various websites and content within. Virtual space in many ways is attempting to fill astral space with various forces seeking to affect collective consciousness there-upon. Whether this is right, or wrong- I can't be sure, but it could always be done better, if it should be done at all.

Any astral space is parasitic. But we perceive it as nice. In this sense virtual spaces are often connected several astral spaces. You can notice when you are "sucked into" something.

Enlightenment is a very controversial topic, because many people see it different. Here is my view:

Religions, drugs and some new age stuff can get in the way. I see some children as enlightened, as they still radiate happiness and love. So anything that hinders that experience, seems not the correct way.

Too true! Enlightenment is extremely controversial and there is something of a journey in learning about good and evil somewhere in there. At the end of it though the religions, drugs and new age stuff shouldn't really be there, even though it may start out that way in the beginning due to mistakes made.

What do you mean that astral space is parasitic? I see space as a neutral entity, how is it a parasite? Is it because it is an entity nonetheless? Hmm...

Astral spaces are filled with and controlled by entities that are parasitic in nature. There is not, and more importantly, there cannot ever be anything actually good that comes from there.

And interestingly, that is the space to which pot smoking surrenders your being to.
