Hi Flavia,

Thanks for your reply.
You make a very interesting point there and no, I don’t feel angry reading your post, don’t worry about that.

It’s always productive to get a different perspective on how others perceive our thoughts and ideas.

Yes I am proud because, although I cannot go into details, I have always been too hard on myself and it has been bought to my attention that I should be proud to get through the very difficult times in my life, without resorting to drugs or alcohol – as I’m sure many others.
I am definitely not unique in that respect.

But we’ve all seen how people, especially youngsters do not seem to have the willpower or inner strength to know the damage drugs can do to mind and body.

But more of all, it saddens me to see people mess up their lives unnecessarily.

Best to google it.

Thanks for your replies.

The facebook groups I mention are heavily populated by American people and I know there has always been a big drugs culture over there.

I can’t help but think that the inhalation of substances to enhance a spiritual experience is the wrong way to go about it.
Maybe it was ignorance on my part to assume that spiritual awakening and drugs do not go together.  I am learning more and more about life, even at the ripe old age of 52.

Nobody has instilled these views in me, they’ve always been there.

I am proud to have lived the way I have and for so many years, but I do not know exactly why I am so anti-drugs and it is something I will have to look into.

Life is definitely a learning curve.

Kevin

Hi Amy,

Thanks again for your encouragement.

You’re absolutely correct, I am now starting to appreciate the benefits of being a very sensitive soul.

For many years I was lead to believe that you’re not a man unless you’re standing in a pub with a pint of lager in your hands, trying to look masculine.

How wrong I was.

I sincerely hope that the ridicule you received didn’t hinder you too much.

Thanks again,

Kevin

Hi Rainbow, thank you for your kind words.

That really means a lot to me.

I have always known from deep within that drugs & alcohol are not the way. But I can only speak for myself on these matters though.

I still have issues with self-hatred that are proving very difficult to conquer, but as they say – it’s a marathon and not a sprint.

I am now seeking guidance from an Intuitive Life Coach and she knows there are mental blocks which are stopping me from moving forward to where I need to be.

Thanks again for your kind words, I really appreciate them.

Hi Anita,

That’s fine, everyone has their own interpretations of life and beyond.

I’m a victim of suicide – meaning that I was affected by a suicide in my close family.

Hi Anita,

I’m not sure that I’ve worked through enough karma to avoid another incarnation, but there’s always hope. I just like to think that in this life, I haven’t occurred any more unnecessary karma.

I don’t believe there is an “entity’ taking notes of our behaviour, I follow the theory that when we pass over we have a life review where we automatically feel any pain we’ve caused  others, but there’s no judgement.

It would be nice to think that if you live a live free from those aspects I mentioned, then there may be a positive outcome as a result.
