Legalize pot? An Aura Reading perspective
October 21st, 2009 by Rose RosetreeHow do you respond, as demands to legalize pot become increasingly insistent? Politically, I can see arguments pro and con.
But before you can read anything I might say on this topic, do check out Comment 60 below — just came in, bringing quite a point of view.
At this point, I’m leaning toward letting people do to themselves what they like, allowing valuable prison cells to be populated by those who are socially dangerous. As long as pot smokers don’t inflict their fumes on others, why should their personal choice be anyone else’s business?
Keep in mind however, that today’s tales of train conductors smashing their vehicles while chatting on cellphone (which happened recently here in the D.C. subways) are nothing compared to what we may find with pot legalized. What will happen with people who feel they must be distracted at all costs, when they can legally swap the electronic lovey for dilated pupils?
But the really important part of the story not being discussed is what pot actually does to a person on the level of causation rather than surface, the level of auras.
- Today I read in the Washington Post about someone who uses marijuana to ease her asthma.
- In other reporting, via NPR, I’ve heard that, in one city, medical marijuana outlets outnumber the Starbucks.
There are other ways to ease severe pain and asthma. Hypnosis, for instance, has a great track record for helping people to use the power of the subconscious mind to ease pain.
I do fear that bringing in the approval of doctors adds to the idea that marijuana is just an innocuous substance, probably no worse than alcohol or drugs.
And surely one way to pick a pothead out of a crowd is to ask this simple question: “Do you think that regular tobacco cigarettes are more dangerous than reefer?”
In the throes of a pot addiction, a formerly sensible person can turn sanctimonious purist. “I don’t sully myself with coffee or cigarettes.” To me, that shows the person has no clue about the level of auras and what pot does, beyond the surface value of life.
As an Aura Reader it would be really smart to add perspective to anyone you know who suffers from the myth that pot is a mildly amusing, non-addictive, “healthy” way to relax.
So what does pot do, from the perspective of Aura Reading?
Some consequences happen to everyone, right from the very first puff. Long-term consequences are more personal. Think of the fault lines of a personality exposed to shaking and quaking high on the Richter Scale.
Here I want to summarize the universal dynamic I’ve found, reading auras of people on pot. Mostly this has happened in sessions of Aura Reading Research where my client has me read the aura of a spouse with a pot addiction. I’ve been able to read in detail what happens to many chakra databanks now, also compare how that loved one has changed.
That research is heartbreaking every time. Because here is the common denominator:
Usually as human beings, we identify with earth life. We feel a part of life here, and our perception shows us the spectrum of human experience: Sight, sound, taste, etc.
We treat people and experiences as “real.” This helps us to be effective in our life, to treat loved ones as though they matter, and to evolve spiritually.
Pot gives a person access to perception at a mid-range astral level.
- This higher vibration is available to angels, spirit guides, ancestors, etc.
- It is available for perception in life to people like you and me, without any pot whatsoever, by doing techniques of Aura Reading and Skilled Empath Merge.
- It is available for inner perception through quality techniques of meditation, contemplation, etc.
Giving the system an artificial, chemical boost into this level will make a person feel high. However:
The chemical pathways used to create the artificial high puts deposits into the system at the level of auras, what I call “STUFF.” That will persist unless removed purposely. It won’t just wear off over time. And this STUFF deadens perception of life when someone comes back to the regular human level.
Energy Release Regression Therapy is one way to do it. In Kundalini Yoga, there are specific techniques that must be practiced for long periods of time in order to start removing the STUFF from marijuana use.
When you do meditation or Aura Reading, you expand your consciousness in a way that contributes to long-term spiritual evolution. With energetic literacy, you can expand your perception in life at will. Safely. With no side effects except for greater compassion.
By contrast, pot or other drugs will slow down spiritual evolution.
And there’s more. (What you wouldn’t hear in a pot infomercial)
Furthermore, long-term pot use causes the smoker to feel superior, developing primary loyalty to other potheads. Allegiance is moving to the astral level, rather than the human level. And this isn’t merely a philosophical problem but an neuro-physiological and aura-level problem.
When you have a human body, you have no membership card to live only at the astral level. Pot creates detachment of perception, like a slow poison.
Depending on the smoker, patterns of STUFF will develop that bring on problems like impotence. Doing Aura Reading Research with one client, Gladys, I found that her husband Joe now found it “too much work” to get an erection. He’d rather fantisize about sex while high.
Gladys confirmed that her husband had indeed become impotent.
We could have 20 posts here, each devoted to a different human problem caused by the shift-in-allegiance that happens from smoking pot. If you know a pothead, you don’t need to read those posts. You live the tragedy.
Problems for empaths who live with potheads
Even non-empaths have heard the term “contact high.” When you are an empath, and not yet skilled, there will be frequent Unskilled Empath Merges where you move in and out of other people’s auras with your consciousness.
At this blog you’ll learn in detail how STUFF from others can enter your aura before you are skilled. And how I can definitely teach you how to use your consciousness to become a fully skilled empath. That makes life better in so many ways!
Otherwise, here is the bottom line: Even if you had no other motivation for becoming a skilled empath, you would be wise to become one if you live with a pothead. Otherwise you will be taking on many pothead problems, even without lighting up.
And whether or not marijuana ever becomes legal, with the way empath gifts work, the transfer of STUFF to your aura will be inevitable. Don’t let someone else’s choice to evolve slowly become contagious for you!

As someone who spends most of her time with college kids, you can imagine how often I hear people going off about how “harmless” pot is. It seems a lot of the time to just be a line they’ve been fed and love to believe, because anyone who’s smoked pot knows that it’s doing SOMETHING to you. It’s like everyone knows deep down that it’s harmful, but they’re all just excited that they’re getting away with it, and that there actually seems to be widespread approval for pot smoking. They’re also daring you to say something against pot, because wow, what a goody-two-shoes conservative evil right-winger you must be if you don’t think pot is a miracle drug.
I had a friend this summer who is a major pothead. She said something to me once about wanting to have a conversation with me about my spiritual ideas. She told me that the things she had heard me talk about were similar to things her pothead druggie friends would mention when they were high, except that they made no sense and were whacked out of their skulls. We never had the conversation, but I thought it was interesting that she said that.
Sure when you’re high you sometimes get that feeling of understanding everything, infinite knowledge, everything making sense. But then it goes away, and there are consequences. And apparently, you can’t bring that wisdom back with you into real life when you get it through chemical means.
Nowadays when I see someone high or drunk, I just think “I am SO GLAD I don’t do that anymore!!!” And I really really am. Though I should definitely release some related frozen blocks, ick!
PS – how on earth does marijuana help someone’s asthma??? Does it sound like her problem is more with anxiety than something purely physical?
I am also super curious about what alcohol does to an aura compared with other drugs. It’s obviously a less vivid experience – I guess it’s more about picking stuff up from other people at this level, than moving into an astral plane or anything like that?
I haven’t had a drink for three years. This summer, I had a sip of a friend’s chardonnay “kir” because it’s a local speciality where I’m living in Dijon, France. I guess my sip was a little too big because a second later I could feel that buzzy feeling… and I absolutely HATED it. It was like my consciousness was leaking out of my head! Drinking must make empath’s extreeeemely vulnerable. I just sat there for thirty seconds telling myself (silently, of course, haha) to “get back in here!!”
JORDAN, these are great comments. Thanks so much.
I would love to do a blog post about someone, using a normal photo and then using a photo when the same person is drunk.
Would any of you Blog-Buddies like to supply a couple of URLs with photo links to a celebrity of interest? One famous example might be Mel Gibson, who apparently has had his DUI conviction overturned and removed from the record.
I will gladly choose one set of photos from those sent in!
What I’m doing right now is packing away for the one-month trip to Japan. It starts in less than a week….
Ms. Rosetree,
There are often times that I find myself scouring the web in search of a higher perspective on cannabis abstinence, and in this article I have come closer to finding it than from what I’ve seen by any other author.
What is most interesting, to me, is that the experience of using the drug described here serves to make the substance seem more inviting and respectable than any description ever has before.
I might be reading between the lines a little heavily, but with the warnings of certain doom left out all I see is the most righteous guide to using marijuana effectively that’s yet to come to my attention.
These words are helping me to understand how best to explain to people what the marijuana they use is allowing them to do for themselves, and also serves to cast the experience I’ve had with being encouraged to seek it out as a medicine.
Thank you for the opportunity to broaden horizons.
- Seth
Asthma is one thing, cancer and MS are something else again. Narcotics simply DON’T get to the level a person needs, to get relief from these. I suggest you read Montel Williams’ “Climbing Higher,” which details his struggles with MS. “Climbing Higher” in this case does not refer to “getting high” — it’s a reference to mountains, as it’s the sequel to his first book “Mountain, Get Out of My Way.”
ROSANNA, good to have you commenting here.
I do want to clarify my position, that any relief from narcotics comes with a heavy price. Whether the illness is asthma or anything else!
Pot brings STUFF into your aura and, sooner or later, you will need to release it. Moreover, as long as you have that STUFF, your quality of life will be diminished, and you’re at risk for becoming addicted.
Alternatives to pot are available. HYPNOSIS is an excellent one. There are others. Personally, I would help clients with HYPNOSIS as part of ENERGY RELEASE REGRESSION THERAPY.
When doctors today prescribe medical marijuana, they have no clue about the harm it does at subtler levels of life. When doctors can read auras in depth and detail, they’ll appreciate these consequences.
You know, back in the day, Rosanna, my mother was described morphine by her family physician. She used to get severe cramps during her periods. And, back then, doctors prescribed morphine routinely for pain relief. You know, as many are prescribing marijuana today.
If, later on, it became known that morphine was seriously addictive and damaging, oops! Doctors know a lot and work hard to help people, but they don’t know everything. All too often, people become guinea pigs for experiments that bring serious harm.
I haven’t read Montel’s book but I do wish him well in his struggles with M.S.
All your perspectives are fascinating. It’s very helpful too, as a lot of my life is currently lived in paradoxes of spiritual healing and personal challenges with health science and autism spectrum disorders.
One of my most powerful and beloved healing modalities is plant medicine. This has been part of me since I was a child. Marijuana is definitely a plant and can be a valuable medicine if used correctly. Plant medicines in their purer forms are almost always self-limiting in terms of addiction. In other words, most of the few plants that are biologically addictive also make you feel pretty bad in some specific way. Opium is a good example of that. Tendencies to addiction are generally caused by a fine mix of nervous system imbalances, behavioral entrainment, cultural standards, and perhaps most of all, an intense desire to feel better. This is where a healer can really help a person sort these issues out so the best approach is chosen for the individual.
The pragmatic view that citizens and governments have more urgent work at hand than criminalizing pot users and that removing marijuana profits from the black market economy of hard drugs, weapons, and human trafficking could improve social conditions rapidly is appealing to me. Governments are beginning to find legalization appealing because they need the crime fighting funds for other things and would are desperate for new tax revenues.
The article at the URL below tipped the scales for me on the issue of legalization, along with my bias as a plant medicine healer, and awareness of the challenges some of us face in helping children with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism.
http://www.theautismnews.com/2009/10/12/why-i-give-my-9-year-old-pot/
There are a lot of ways to look at things, but as the article reminds us, “First do no harm.” Then, with whole heart, wisdom, and common sense, healing comes. If someone’s healing path is first marked by a relatively benign plant directly from Nature, pay attention.
AIMED, it’s great to hear your perspective. And thanks for the link.
I must say, however, that if you were to pursue aura reading with as much interest and care as you have pursued plants, I very much doubt that you would consider marijuana to be a “relatively benign” plant.
Only on the surface value of life is it benign. On the level of auras, it is nothing less than a poison.
This just in from a Blog-Buddy: Pothead gives himself heart attack after this speech on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h0rcUS4bSk
“Sam” watched so you don’t have to. Apparently, Jack Herer goes up on stage to talk about how benign marijuana is, working himself up into such a rage that he’s been in the hospital unable to speak ever since.
Sam concludes, “I doubt that the weight of any of this is lost on you.”
Rose. I find this article to be very interesting as well. I have spent years smoking pot. While i have decided to stop altogether for health & spiritual reasons i still have a few comments.
1. You say when someone who is an empath (like me) and they are around pot heads they still will pick up all the STUFF anyways IF they are NOT skilled yet. This bothers me.
While it motivates me even more to become skilled it almost feels like it won’t matter what i do as i am not skilled YET and i know A lot of people who do smoke.
2. As far as the short term medical uses of pot, i have no doubt they do exist. Whether it is for pain or for anxiety it has it’s short term benefits. But i am hopeful that with my new experiment and life choice to stop all together that i will enjoy the benefits of not using long term.
3. When doing a regression session with you, is it possible to remove ALL stuff from past smoking or is this a process ?
SETH, regarding your Comment 4, there is no way to use pot effectively. Marijuana is a slow poison.
Personally, I don’t give warnings of certain doom. But I believe it is very clear to anyone with full energetic literacy that weed is not a harmless high.
Every single time someone smokes pot, there is a deposit of STUFF in that person’s aura.
Plenty of people live with STUFF they haven’t healed yet, but how many of us would knowingly diminish our experiences in life?
How many of us would consider it “fun, harmless recreation” do muck up our auric fields for decades to come (unless we actively do techniques to remove that STUFF).
And, of course, the more often a person smokes weed, the more distorted the thinking. “Reading too heavily between the lines” is just one of the long-term, STUFF-related, consequences for anyone who smokes weed.
SETH and other Blog-Buddies, I can’t resist pointing out something rather revealing to me in your so-very clever Comment 11.
“An opportunity to broaden horizons” is what you wrote about in your last paragraph.
This could summarize the biggest danger from pot for anyone who wishes to be effective in life financially, who hopes to help others through career or volunteer work, who would like to have quality relationships with significant others, who would like to become spiritually Enlightened rather than merely drugged.
Broadening horizons, or getting high, seems like a most wonderful thing. Only doing this without balance can lead to spiritual addiction and greatly slowing down spiritual growth.
One can devote an entire lifetime to broadening horizons and enjoying a trippy, stoned existence. That’s a fine kind of learning to have here at Earth School.
However, there are plenty of other kinds of learning. One reason I blog about pot/weed/marijuana is to help people understand more clearly the implications of such a personal choice.
JEREMY, regarding the first point in your Comment 10, it can seem overwhelming, learning all you are doing now about STUFF.
Meanwhile, keep in mind that you are in a rather vulnerable state, moving away from a highly addictive substance. And how smart you are to be stopping that use of pot/weed/marijuana completely.
By far the most important thing to do for your mind-body-spirit health is to completely stop getting high with this substance.
To put all this in perspective, stopping the pot/weed/marijuana automatically heals about 90% of the problem.
Next point, JEREMY, concerns becoming a skilled empath.
All unskilled empaths pick up STUFF from others. It is smart to become a skilled empath.
You may know that my method of Empath Empowerment(R) is very different from other approaches. It is relatively effortless, takes very little time once you get the hang of it, and STRENGTHENS YOU AS A PERSON.
Because of this strengthening effect, the second thing to do for you — that I would recommend, and you must decide all such things for yourself, clearly — is to become a skilled empath.
I would especially recommend BECOME THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE ROOM. You read one short chapter per day and do the 10-minute homework. You do a sloppy job on that homework and reading, Jeremy. The point is not to stress yourself out even further at such a challenging time in your life.
By the end of the 30-day program, you will have basic skills of Empath Empowerment. Also, you will have a much more balanced way of being yourself, the natural high that can come from being a relatively balanced and woken-up human.
JEREMY, another practical point about what you wrote.
Knowing “a lot of people who smoke pot” means that you have a whole lot of cords of attachment, probably major ones.
I have helped clients get 100% off pot, heavier drugs, alcohol, even after very intense use. It is very helpful to cut these cords of attachment because the can be re-imprinting your aura and subconscious mind with “contact highs” from other people who are drunk or stoned on weed, etc.
* Moving out these cords isn’t nearly as important as stopping the pot/weed/marijuana, etc.
* And the second priority for an empath would be to become a skilled empath.
* Then, gradually, over the years, you can have an expert like me facilitate removing these major cords. Or you can use “Cut Cords of Attachment” to gain skills and do the job for yourself.
Regarding the short-term benefits of using pot/weed/marijuana, in your Comment 10, point 2, JEREMY:
These benefits are greatly over-rated.
Consider that these alleged benefits are often touted by potheads. Personally, and with all respect, I consider them rationalizations that are convenient for people who like getting stoned/high/chemically medicated out of their pain.
Do I believe that marijuana should be legalized? Sure. People have the right to experiment on earth in any way they like, as long as they don’t harm others directly.
It is a tragedy for the spouses of potheads, of course. They might argue that they are being hurt by the spouse’s addiction.
Saying “I smoke pot/weed/marijuana because of its medicinal value” doesn’t really alter that. Especially because hypnosis has a proven ability to reduce pain.
Yes, the sufferer can learn a really effective, custom-designed form of self-hypnosis by investing in a session or two for that purpose with a hypnotist who specializes in pain reduction.
JEREMY, about moving out STUFF from smoking pot/weed/marijuana, I’m glad you brought up Energy Release Regression Therapy.
Yes, I have helped clients to permanently release frozen blocks from pot, cocaine, alcohol, and the mash-up of drugs that someone can get involved with.
One frozen block is removed at a time. This is not a fantasy healing, akin to the “Quickie Method to cut all your cords of attachment at once.”
Every session has a cumulative benefit for STUFF removal. That’s what matters.
One final point for JEREMY and all you Blog-Buddies who have been following this thread.
Energy Release Regression Therapy is a very distinctive form of regression therapy. Most regression therapists would not have effective skills for removing STUFF related to pot/weed/marijuana.
Dr. Coletta Long has trained loads of regression therapists. I’m just one of them. (I call what I do “Energy Release Regression Therapy” for clarity, but she simply calls her work “Regression Therapy.”)
If you’re interested in this type of healing, you might wish to contact her and ask for a referral. Google Coletta Long and proceed from there. Say hi from Rose Rosetree while you’re at it!
Rose,
This is a lot of great information and, as you know, it has been four months since I stopped smoking pot altogether and thought it would be good to update this post.
While I have had many sessions with you and trained a bit with you, I have learned a lot and hope to continue to grow, gain more confidence with my skills and remove STUFF.
But one thing I know for sure is that overall I’m much more effective in earth life without smoking pot, after doing it every day for many years this is one thing i have realized.
But I have an interesting point or two to make. While my life and mind feel much more clear, and i feel like my spirituality has taken another step forward since stopping I’ve noticed something else.
You mentioned that potheads and alcoholics etc.. develop an allegiance to others who use and don’t relate to people not on these substances as well.
Well, being on the other side of this now, I can completely relate. But the downside is that everyone is on pot and or alcohol at least a few days a week, and while I relate better to the few people who don’t use these substances, my relationships with everyone else who does has on some level definitely changed.
With the vast majority of people using pot and alcohol, I think in some way not using alienates one’s self just as much from people.
While my personal benefits are great, and I have noticed a few significant changes that I needed and am grateful for , I think they have come as a result of my sessions with you just as much as quitting pot, since these things happened simultaneously.
I’m unsure what to make of it. One thing I know is that I’m not constanly dumping new STUFF into my energy. I will continue to do sessions and see where this new found life takes me over the next year.
Hi Jeremy.
I’m a recovering addict (process addict not substance addict).
What I’ve noticed is that the longer you are sober, the less you socialise with active addicts. The world isn’t only made up of people who use substances, or are gambling addicts or sex addicts. It just takes a while to get used to that, I think.
Jeremy,
Good for you that you’ve decided to quit smoking pot! While I don’t smoke pot or drink alcohol, I wanted to comment on something you said about alienation in relation to those you know who do still smoke and drink.
Actually, now that I think about it, this ties in with a comment that I’ve been mulling in relation to the other post about anorexia.
Two things come to mind in relation to what you shared. The first is that I can so relate to the feeling — and I don’t want to be presumptuous about your feelings here, but I hope I’m probably interpreting correctly what you mean — of alienation from your smoking and drinking friends now that you’re not doing that any more.
I can remember different chapters in my life when I’d overcome something that felt huge to me or I had some big life-changing growth spurt.
I was at first quite shocked and dismayed to realize that some of the people I’d been hanging out with really did not share my happiness about this growth. They wanted me to stay the same because the thought of growing or changing their behavior wasn’t something they were interested in doing.
It has taken me a long time to accept this dynamic and to realize that it tends to come with the territory of growth and change. It’s definitely not always easy to go through, but knowing this has helped me to realize that it’s probably going to happen in one way or another.
I remember a teacher I studied with for a bit who was talking about this dynamic in her own growth. She said she went through phases when her life felt like a football game, with people coming in and out of her life every 10 yards! I got a kick out of that and can relate to it.
The other thing that came to mind, as someone who doesn’t smoke pot or drink, is how challenging it can be sometimes socially to not smoke or drink. And the tie-in with Primrose’s comment back at the other thread about anorexia/addiction is that I agree that anorexia is basically another of the many, many ways people in our culture are addicted, shut down, however you want to name it.
I don’t share the level of frustration in relation to thin celebrities that was shared in that thread. I find it much more personally frustrating to encounter the expectations and pressures related to drinking in social settings in our culture.
I was reminded of this a couple of weeks ago when, in the spirit of celebrating a great class and the end of the semester, one of the American grad students in the class I co-taught proposed that a bunch of us go out for a drink.
The other 7-8 students are Asian, from Korean,Thailand, and China. We went to Happy Hour at a little bar near school, and it reminded me of college days. Loud, crowded, hard to have a conversation.
None of these students had experienced this American-style college bar scene and were a bit mystified, since we could barely carry on a conversation.
There are people out there who don’t smoke and drink, like many of the foreign students I work with. That said, I’ve found it to be uncomfortable, especially in work social situations, to not drink among drinkers. I’ve been amazed at the ways people respond sometimes, and I really don’t enjoy it.
But one thing I do know is that the growth and progress I’ve made from cutting cords and removing STUFF is far more important to me than having a drink, knowing how sensitive I am and how it would affect me.
So I’m willing to tolerate the discomfort of being the one who orders club soda or of skipping the Happy Hour with colleagues if I don’t feel like being in that scene.
Wishing you well on your continued growth.
GRACE and PRIMMIE, thanks so much for your comments. JEREMY, you are doing well.
It’s reasonable to anticipate that there may be some glitches along the way, because you are moving into a very different lifestyle. You will naturally be making more friends who are happy without needing to resort to substances to feel that way.
Hang in there. And, yes, keep moving out STUFF, because that will help you stay ever clearer.
I have been smoking pot from 2001 to 2004.
Does it take one session to get rid of the negative effects of 3 years of smoking pot?
Should we cut the most significant cords of attachments to people I have been smoking with before we do the pot-residue healing, or can it be done after?
What change can I expect after healing the pot effects on my aura?
JEREMY in Comment 19 and OSCAR in the comment before this one, please know that I plan on a couple of posts related to your questions.
I really care about helping, just have a bit of a queue situation going on here. World Hypnosis Day, for instance, couldn’t be moved.
Meanwhile, thanks so much to PRIMMIE and GRACE, as noted earlier, plus here is an invitation to contribute: Do any of you Blog-Buddies have experiences to share or inspiration, even?
Thank you, Jeremy, for posting your experiences.
It is very encouraging to hear from someone who has been there and done that. I’m a current pot smoker looking to quit. It is my resolution this year to quit smoking pot and become a skilled empath.
I had an entity clearing, but what else from the use of pot do I need to worry about?
The spiritual expansion I got from smoking pot was really nice. Honestly, I might not even be here at Rose’s blog if it weren’t for the ways marijuana opened my mind. How can I replace that in a healthier way?
For all of you Blog-Buddies who wish to stop smoking pot, this is such an important thread, I developed a post devoted to it, bringing my perspective and experience with Energy Spirituality.
Take a look. Hope this helps!

Another resource for you Blog-Buddies who have had weed as part of your lifestyle is this Guest Post written by a psychiatrist:
http://www.rose-rosetree.com/blog/2011/01/09/when-you-stop-smoking-pot-a-guest-post-from-arlene/
Hi Rose,
Would Ayahuasca use pose the same detriment to ones energy/Aura as marijuana?
MYRNA, welcome to the blog. This is your first question, right?
Not being an expert on substances, I don’t know what “Ayahuasca” is. However, if it is taken for the kind of purposes where one might smoke marijuana, yes, it probably poses the same detriment. Which is depositing STUFF into your aura, to stay there until it is permanently removed.
Meanwhile, I have a tip for you in an area where I do specialize, which isn’t knowing all about drugs but having some knowledge of aura reading and how to teach people to do it well. Not meaning to criticize, I couldn’t help noticing that you referred to one’s “energy/Aura.” Many people today think this way, not just you.
If you type into the search box “Stage Three Energetic Literacy,” you will find a wealth of information here about what YOU can aim for with energetic literacy. That would be especially important given your evident interest in keeping your aura clear and healthy.
Why ever, ever, again would you refer to your own personal aura as “your energy”? Energy is all over the planet. There is energy in every living thing.
When people equate “My aura” and “My energy,” they keep themselves stuck at Stage One of Energetic Literacy, totally for beginners.
Which is a shame when you, for instance, MYRNA, undoubtedly have talent for becoming a full Stage Three reader of auras.
Of primary concern, surely, isn’t just any old random energy that happens to be flowing around in your part of the world. When you start thinking about “my aura” you are moving toward Stage Two of Energetic Literacy. Make sense?
Ayahuasca is a psychedelic concoction used as a religious sacrament in ayahuasca shamanism. It might do a similar thing marijuana does. They are both psychoactive substances. There are a couple shamans on the Enlightenment Life list. Nah Kin is one of my favorite aura readings Rose has done.
I just wonder if she has used these psychoactive substances and yet managed to keep her system STUFF-free.
Hi Rose,
Yes, that was my first question and thanks for answering it and sharing clarity.
I am very interested in not only keeping my aura clear and healthy but also in re-learning the appropriate knowledge and terminology concerning our human and spiritual lives. There is so much information available, and over the years I feel like I have come away with a scattering or rather a hodgepodge of information much of which is most likely foolish and not based on solid truths.
I am quickly realizing the true need for getting things “right”, to truly become aligned with healthy information because I see how it can truly quicken my evolution and make life not only healthier (and mentally less cluttered with concepts and ideas based on falsities) but also being aligned with how life really operates; I think this leads to having more fun!
I just got in the mail today, Magnetize Money with Energetic Literacy and I’m going to read articles on Stage Three Energetic Literacy here on the blog. I’m totally excited to be on this new, shinier path. Thanks for being such a beautiful beacon, leading the way so powerfully.
I’ve also ordered, Become the Most Important Person in the Room.Oh, and you consider me having talent for becoming a full Stage Three reader of auras? That is humbling and exciting to go further with learning how. What would you say are the benefits of learning such a skill?
Aw, MYRNA….. thanks for all those shiny, appreciative words.
So glad you have MAGNETIZE and also that you are getting BECOME. They sound like wonderful choices for you.
One thing I’ll bet you have in common with everyone who reads this blog (self included) is that we have put together a “Personal connection” of beliefs and ideas, a.k.a. “Hodgepodge.”
Self-authority is the one thing I encourage most at this blog, in those books of yours, etc. That helps each of us to sort through the information and choose what helps at any given time in our development.
Oh, MYRNA, didn’t mean to neglect that last question you asked. Magnetize Money with Energetic Literacy is a book-length answer to that question, so read away.
The simple answer for those who don’t have access…. Full energetic literacy is about as useful as regular, Gutenberg-type literacy. Innumerable practical uses for anything that involves the energy side of life.
ASHLEY S., you know so much!
Taking a small amount of a substance on very rare occasions, as part of a spiritual tradition, doesn’t necessarily lodge STUFF, especially for someone Enlightened.
It’s like tobacco, originally used by Native Americans for sacred purposes. Bet they didn’t develop too many cases of lung cancer caused by tobacco.
Though I knew what Ayahuasca was already from hobbyist interests, it was Wikipedia that gave me that blurb of info actually.
I had a passion for psychedelics that did go beyond recreation, though. I had seriously considered doing graduate level research on these substances. I genuinely think they have some fascinating and useful psychological effects.
The stuff that makes Ayahuasca do it’s potent thing is a chemical called DMT, the simplest, yet most powerful, psychedelic substance known. And it’s found almost everywhere. In plants and animals. Even in our own bodies. It’s been speculated that it’s the stuff our dreams are made of, that the schizophrenic brain may over-produce it, that it’s whats behind out-of-body phenomenon, and that it’s produced during near-death experiences. And maybe just the right amount of it is what keeps us tuned into the narrow band of awareness of reality we call channel Normal.
Still, my dream come true would be if I could be involved in groundbreaking research of human consciousness that the science community pays attention to. One reason I am here is that I believe Rose is involved in some very important, very groundbreaking human consciousness research with her study of the aura.
Unfortunately, it’s not really something academia is taking seriously right now. But you know, the term “science” didn’t always exist. It used to all be called “natural philosophy.” How funny is that?
I think Rose is a true pioneer mapping new scarcely charted territory. And she’s working against some very large, assuming communities. Skeptics, the science community, and the New Age community. For now.. It is my belief that human consciousness is rapidly evolving now. I also believe science is rapidly evolving right now.
Finally, it’s interesting to hear that marijuana use can have damaging energetic effects on the aura. I hope I said that correctly. If not, then I didn’t learn anything from Rose’s comment 29, heehee.
But I think the human race can soon move away from chemical solutions to fix problems. Though we are still in the throes of a chemical affinity, we now we have cords of attachment removal and aura reading. And in the science community, there is research that suggests that putting your brain in a slow alpha brainwave state (a light meditative state) for a few minutes a day can fix a host of problems like chronic pain and epilepsy. Previously only chemical solutions were available for these problems. It is speculated that perhaps modern humans living in a busy world spend way too much time in a hyper focused fast beta brainwave state and this is creating some weird physical and emotional problems.
I have Magnetize Money with Energetic Literacy but I keep forgetting to try out the energetic workarounds at work.
I’m still working on Become the Most Important Person in the Room though, so maybe I’d be better off focusing on one thing at a time.
Pretty soon I want to start trying out Magic Picture on Enlightened candidates, but I also have Aura Reading Through ALL Your Senses and I want to start doing that too! My brain is going to explode.
ASHLEY, it is a great idea to cycle through that how-to for empaths first, before doing anything with the other books.
Rose,
Hope all is well. As I continue on the road of being “pot free” I always question and seek to learn more and get to the HEART of the matter. Lately I have been thinking about this again so I came back to this thread.
I think you have made some amazing breakthroughs with how smoking marijuana and other substances affect energy. But something I still don’t seem to fully understand is that you continually mention ” smoking pot is a great way to deposit stuff into your aura for the rest of your life”. You make it seem like the ONLY way to get rid of years of STUFF being deposited is through energy release regression therapy and maybe a few yoga techniques etc..
I have never done a regression therapy with you for releasing STUFF related to pot and have only done the various energy spirituality techniques you utilize over the phone. Does this mean I still have most of the STUFF related to pot in my aura or does quitting resolve the majority of these issues etc? If you could go into more detail about your thoughts on this I would appreciate it.
Also while I agree with you on MOST of what you say about how pot affects energy and affects someones aura by depositing stuff.. I think there is another side to it that is untapped.
I do think that humans needs to move away from habitual recreational substance abuse in order for everyone to continuously evolve spiritually
etc. But I have no doubt that pot has it’s medical applications..In a world where pharmaceutical companies, doctors and government work together to make money off these drugs and when in many instances these drugs are addicting and life threatening in comparison to the affects of marijuana for pain management.
I guess at the end of the day I do not like that the the marijuana research is minimal and that the country and the world will manufacture drugs and make them available to people for diseases and problems when it is clear they have something to gain. Marijuana is natural and comes from the earth and has clearly thrived through thousands of years of evolution. Just because something exists naturally doesn’t mean it is good for humans but I have heard enough stories to know that there is something there medically beneficial when it comes to pot. The question is WHAT.
Would smoking pot a few times a year or once a month be JUST as bad as frequent recreational use etc? in terms of energy and stuff.
Hi Rose, I have a question that arises from this post: is pot as harmful if it is infused and ingested as a tea or powered in a capsule like most herbs? Maybe the medical marijuana should be used this way instead of smoked.
From my understanding, and I would be very surprised if I am wrong, pot STUFF comes from being high. Whether it’s a joint, vaporizer, tea, whatever, if you’re high, it’s messing you up. No one’s accumulating stuff from drinking hemp milk.
I’ve done tons of regressions with Rose. Last October I did a series of 4 focused on releasing stuff from pot and other drugs. I noticed results right away, like I always do, but it took 5 or 6 months for me to fully realize all that RADICALLY changed, and that it was due to those regressions.
I am so much more invested in my real, concrete, earthly life, and so much more effective. It feels amazing, and believe me, it doesn’t come at a cost, like loss of spiritual awareness or wisdom because I am more grounded. Not even close!
I would write more, but I’m on this tiny little keypad..typos abound!
Also, I don’t know much about medical marijuana, but really, how is it so amazing/surprising that you feel less physical pain when you’re totally checked out on some astral plane, high off your ass??
I think most people get that marijuana is effective in this way, but are reluctant to endorse being totally high for the rest of your illness (or life) as a solution, instead of finding less unsettling ways to manage pain.
Hi all,
A factual interjection. Medical marijuana plants are bred to minimise the psychoactive THC and enhance the medically beneficial compounds. Normally psychoactive compunds will make up 90% and medically active compounds 5-10%: the research scientists have managed to reverse this and are working on minimising it further.
This means that someone taking appropriately prescribed medical marijuana will not be getting high.
Amanda
Well I don’t know where you live, Amanda, but I live in a Medical Marijuana state [in America] and know a lot about this.
While the one federally funded research lab might grow pot like that, all of the medical marijuana consumed by patients in medical marijuana states have a very high THC content.
Thanks, Amanda.. I wondered about that, I don’t want to be ignorantly opinionated. Obviously beneficial compounds should be researched. Plus, I’m not seriously ill, nor have I ever been, so..
One thing I do know is that medical marijuana dispensaries in the US supply marijuana that has PLENTY of THC. I think it’s common knowledge that a huge proportion of people with authorization to purchase medical marijuana in the US aren’t in chronic pain or seriously ill or diagnosed with glaucoma.
Maybe they told their doctor they feel anxious or have trouble sleeping. That said, I don’t really have a problem with this, except that I am personally very tired of high people.
Jordan, the last time I checked oxycontin and similar drugs that are prescribed for pain management get you very high.
There is not one prescription pain medication that doesn’t get you extremely high thus numbing the pain. The thing about pot is that it isn’t addicting and you can’t over dose on it. I have seen more than a few people die from prescription pain killers. While pot will slow you down spiritually, prescription drugs can end your life as you know it which makes it hard to evolve spiritually in my opinion.
JEREMY, I bolded what you wrote in the last comment. So pot isn’t addicting?
Pot won’t only slow you down spiritually but is very addicting. The STUFF stuck in a person’s aura can impact every aspect of life, including intimacy in relationships, ability to earn a living, sexual potency, intelligence, effective problem solving.
I know about consequences like these from reading auras of clients and their significant others.
As for the familiar line that pot is, supposedly, not addictive, you might want to re-read your own Comment #38.
I agree completely JORDAN’S Comment #40. The higher people get, with greater contrast, the more STUFF is deposited.
Also, the more often people get stoned on weed, or the equivalent, the more often STUFF will be deposited.
And yes, JEREMY, the only effective ways I know of getting out STUFF that came in through drug usage are:
1) Moving out cords of attachment to people with whom one has gotten high in the past, especially the major cords of attachment.
2) Moving out additional drug-related STUFF through Energy Release Regression Therapy.
3) Other dedicated techniques and skills that would move out STUFF include Kundalini Yoga techniques expressly designed for this purpose.
Far as I have seen, STUFF will not move out because of a raw foods diet, fasting, hypnosis, EFT, NLP, Reiki, or other techniques that people have brought to my attention as attempts to solve the problem. Nor will dependency on grass stop being a problem just because you still like to get high and wish to defend the practice.
As for the sad question about “Would smoking pot a few times a year or once a month be JUST as bad as frequent recreational use etc? in terms of energy and stuff,” really, JEREMY. Every time you smoke marijuana, STUFF goes into your aura and stays there, detracting from quality of life. You are a brainy, educated man. Which part of this don’t you understand?
Some of you readers are stuggling for sure. Be aware that many resources exist to help with the hard work of getting free from substance abuse. The only part of this difficult process where I personally get involved is with people who are moving in that direction already, people who wish to have me help them to remove the STUFF already there. I am very glad to count among my clients many people who once had this problem but have been able to get over it; then I was able to help them to get even clearer.
Personally, I do not plan to comment further on this thread when conversations are about which addictive weed-like substance might be slightly less dangerous or produce marginally smaller deposits of STUFF.
When I read such comments, with all respect, I hear a “but-but-but” that arises as long as someone isn’t willing or able to move beyond a substance problem. It’s a terribly difficult problem, and my sympathy goes out to anyone who struggles with it.
Rose,
What I meant was pot is not addictive in comparison to harder drugs. Anything can be addictive that’s a pretty open term… food, sex, drugs etc etc…. While there is no doubt that pot is addictive it is also one of the easiest drugs to come off of. Alcohol, prescription drugs, hard drugs like meth, cocaine etc.. all of the above are much more addictive physically and more harmful physically speaking in the long run. Also nothing is universal for everyone and some people out there might have just as hard of a time coming off of pot as other drugs but from my long experience with pot and from many other people and drug addicts I have met and known, pot has been the easiest drug to stop doing by far physically speaking and YES you can not overdose on pot! haha… you might feel sick and need a nap but that’s usually about it!
(#38, assuming this is what you are referring to)I do at times want to smoke pot, no doubt about it. Whether you want to call me a recovering pot addict or just someone who on some level enjoyed smoking pot sometimes. But I think that is pretty normal for a human to have urges to alter states of consciousness whether you do it the smart way ( meditation, yoga etc) or whether you do it the unhealthy way most people do it through a beer or a joint.
You already know I agree with everything you say about pot except what I said above, which is the major reason why I have stopped smoking and still haven’t to this day. I have said many times that I am 100% better and more effective in my life without pot mentally,emotionally spiritually etc. but I don’t have a physical ailment such as severe pain. All I am saying is if I did I would be going back to pot long before I took prescription pain meds.
And as far as my personal experiences with smoking pot for 10 years all of the things you mentioned were never a problem for me…intimacy in relationships, sexual potency, intelligence, effective problem solving. I was always very motivated and very intelligent and definitely never had a sexual potency problem… I was not as effective overall in earth life as I would have been sober that is for sure so on that level I agree completely.
Again, I am just seeking the truth and just talking about my experiences. I compare myself now to myself when I was a pothead and I see drastic differences but primarily in more personal areas. As you mentioned pot makes ones fault lines/problems even deeper so my issues were more personal rather than the things you mentioned above.
As far as #38 if you have any answers for my questions I would appreciate it! Thanks
Just value your opinion.
rose,
It sounds like I need some regression sessions for removing pot! I would be curious if these sessions remove physical residues as well as the emotional and mental STUFF.
And I am not defending pot but I also will not sit here and say it has zero positive qualities if used the right way for the right reasons keeping in mind these reasons are VERY limited.
No question is sad and I understand the concepts perfectly well. I am assuming the answer is the more you smoke the more STUFF you accumulate etc..
So I understand it all.. probably not the best question I agree and retract it! haha.
Rose: Am I wrong but in re-reading about Cat Stevens, Yusuf, I believe you said he was Enlightened. He’s not on your list, right?
Now he was a pot smoker, so he had stuff deposited due to the pot, right, but now he’s Enlightened. Am I wrong?
Hi guys,
My bad – the new breed of plant is really very new and has only just been developed by a UK drug firm.
I was reading something only yesterday about them isolating compounds that may help with Crohn’s disease among others, and there was a description of the plant breeding method they used which I assumed was standard. Clearly it isn’t.
Well, perhaps it’ll be the future of medical marijuana!
Amanda
Well, sure, I guess most of them do get you high. That’s unfortunate. But I don’t think marijuana is a great alternative.
After reading Jordan’s comment I started to wonder… is it the getting high that deposits STUFF?
I hadn’t thought about it like that but once a month shall we say I use co-codamol (which is actually paracetamol and codeine) and that gets me pretty high! It’s an over the counter thing, not addictive or psychotropic and pretty wimpy on the scale of pain killers but if I am getting high from it then STUFF is depositing in my aura or am I being a bit hypochondriac? After all I suppose codeine is an opiate…hmmm
Also in hospital patients with severe pain are given Diamorphine, which is the medical name for heroin.
For example, terminal cancer patients can basically self-medicate with it, but also many patients with severe pain that is not part of a terminal condition, and also in heart attacks.
By the time someone comes out of hospital they may have an awful lot of newly deposited STUFF on top of being physically vulnerable.
I didn’t mean to scare anyone from medical care by my last comment, just to say that the healing of the aura by STUFF removal would be really helpful, coupled with medical treatments.
It’s probably really obvious but it only just occured to me because I compartmentalise.
Rose do you get many clients for aura healing post hospital stay? Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely?
ELAINE, thanks for the reminder. YUSUF ISLAM has gone onto the Enlightenment Life List, where I meant to put him last November.
Sometimes things here get just a tad busy.
Yes, it seems pretty likely that he had STUFF deposted in his aura, back in the day. He found some way to get that out of his system.
How did he do it? I suspect that Yusuf used Option #3, noted in previous Comment #47!
LARA, re Comment #53, you’re not being a hypochondriac. You’re being smart.
Just because current thinking says “Non-addictive,” what does that mean?
Back in the day, my mother used to get terrible menstrual cramps. Her doctor prescribed morphine, which was thought to be harmless and, certainly, never addictive….
Meanwhile, there are non-chemical ways of alleviating pain. I don’t mean to minimize the horror of terminal illness or people with chronic back problems etc. (and I know and love people who suffer from things like this right now).
However, I would recommend HYPNOSIS for dealing with pain. And have done so, right at this blog. It’s non-invasive and works for surgical operations, childbirth, dentristy, and other well documented uses.
For pain prevention, sometimes it can be helpful to use Energy Release Regression Therapy. One of my clients, GLADYS, used to have horrible cramps each month, where she would take painkillers and still would curl up in the bathroom, crying and throwing up.
I think it took excactly two sessions of Energy Release Regression Therapy to move out the STUFF that caused that. Now Gladys doesn’t get cramps at all.
No, I am not claiming that Energy Release Regression Therapy is guaranteed to move out all STUFF. And it won’t keep a person from dying, either.
Life does include a lot of pain, including horrible experiences that you may have had, LARA, that I have never experienced. I just suggest that you look for alternatives to any opiates or other medicines that bring on a high. Just because afterwards there could be a price to pay in the form of STUFF.
LARA, re Comment #54, adding on to your excellent point, how many doctors think about STUFF? Or reincarnation?
At the end of a human lifetime, every cord of attachment dissolves. However, frozen blocks of STUFF from overload experiences do not dissolve.
Angels don’t have to worry about it. Unless they reincarnate at a learning academy like Earth School.
While in the room, every unresolved frozen block of STUFF comes into the developing body. So end-of-life medications deposit STUFF that does not end with the rest of that particular lifetimes.
LARA, re your Comment 55, far as I know, I have never had a client post hospital stay.
That’s probably because I specialize in emotional and spiritual healing. All the Energy Spirituality techniques are for that, you know.
The only part of my current work that is in a different healing modality is the Energy Release Regression Therapy help for clients. This is a skill set of Energy Psychology, and it can have impact quite directly on health problems.
Obviously, shortly after a hospital stay or any time after, regression therapy is never meant as a substitute for work with a medical professional. It’s complementary healing work.
I follow this thread because it’s interesting to me as someone who’s Mon-Fri job is making hashish into “medicine” for marks in California to buy. I don’t use the stuff myself, except for maybe a dab or two a week of a hashish ointment after a long bike ride that has no psychoactive value whatsoever.
What I’d like to contribute to this discussion is that, from an outsider’s perspective, there’s hardly anything more disgusting than a huge set of people that can’t keep themselves calm for more than an hour without finding a dark corner to start huffing “skunk” and lighter fluid.
To put all this STUFF into life experience terms, it boils down to having no ability to cope with life outside of the range that they can accomplish with pot. Having to buy cat food or keep their cars running are overwhelming notions for these people, they cry and scream and cuss throughout any ordeal that doesn’t involve their precious smoke.
This is why it’s important to stay away from this snake oil: because being such a burden for everyone else in the “Earth School” is a despicable way to live. There’s nothing more unfair in life than to have to devote time to pick up the slack for junkies, and that’s what stoners are.
(A rant from a place where more than 1 in 10 people have those damn doctor’s notes to excuse them from living.)
I wonder about chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I know a few people who have been transformed by going through cancer. Poisoning the body seems a strange route to greater happiness, but I’ve witnessed it happening.
GIMLI, you’re a brave dwarf indeed to have shared your perspective. Thank you so much.
(I did get the Tolkien reference right, right?)
I didn’t mean to imply you do physical healings, Rose. It just occured to me that many non-terminal people leave hospital after successful treatments or operations or childbirth, having been given a lot of medications during their stay that may have deposited auric STUFF (strong pain killers, maybe other stuff forming meds). And that Energy Spirituality-type healing could be a great adjunct.
I agree with Gimli, I think it’s pretty absurd that medical marijuana exists in the first place when it should just be legal, like alcohol. In my opinion all drug abuse is bad and is a way for people to cope with anything and everything rather than better themselves and truly heal themselves so they can evolve. I think it really comes down to educating people about the consequences like Rose does and letting them make their own decisions.
I also have no doubt that there are other ways to deal with physical pain that don’t involve drug use. Unfortunately this is the global society we live in still and I would rather see someone on pot than oxycontin or any other life threatening drug. In my Ideal world people would go to “alternative therapies” such as hypnosis. Again it comes back to education. The American government and a lot of doctors don’t even recognize this. I think people just need to evolve and educate themselves and realize there is a lot of options out there in this world.
At the end of the day a lot of people still need to be educated and informed to make the right decisions so they understand the consequences. I know I would have never truly known the consequences of smoking pot if Rose hadn’t taught me stage three energetic literacy or explained the TRUE affects of drug use, especially Marijuana.
JEREMY, thanks. All of us impact global society as we pioneer techniques of using deeper perception.
All of us are one big team — the face readers, the energetic literacy students, the emerging empaths.
Yes, I’ve made a point about distinguishing energetic literacy from psychic development, but every professional psychic is on that same team.
So are those who study body language and expression, relatively “deep” perception that pushes the comfort limits for many people.
As that Deeper Perception team expands, government will follow. As my former guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi rightly said, “Government leaders simply reflect collective consciousness in their locality.”
LARA, you are so right.
I am busily teaching workshops and offering a Mentoring Program so that people can develop really professional skills, then go out and market their services in that way, or in plenty of other ways, too.
Just yesterday I was doing a Home Blessing for a client, using skills of Spiritual Cleansing and Protection.
Often I hear from people who feel really excited about cutting cords of attachment. They would like to do it professionally, not just for themselves.
Some people could make a good living, part-time or maybe full-time, by specializing in moving out astral debris for couples who divorce, or when people move into new apartments and houses.
Now I’m too busy to develop these expansions of Energy Spirituality. Some of you won’t be. I would love to help you develop really professional skills so that, as you go out doing work like this, you will uphold the reputation of this emerging profession.
Maybe you will become one of them, LARA.
Hey, Jeremy, if regression sessions also removed the physical residues of pot then that sure would be one way to pass a drug test. LOL
Does GIMLI’s comment break our civility rule?
I’m going to say no. In this particular case he is not simply slamming a group of people or leaking his personal pain onto others.
Okay, maybe he is. But the distinguishing, important difference to me is that GIMLI was describing his customers. How often does one read the perspective of someone who works in the drugging business?
ASHLEY S., for you and other Blog-Buddies, I want to clarify that there are many types of regression therapy, past-life regression therapy, etc.
Dr. Coletta Long, Ph.D., has developed a very distinctive type of regression therapy. (She’s based in Austin, Texas.)
I’m proud to have studied with her and have adapted her methods somewhat, into what I call “Energy Release Regression Therapy.” (My practice is in Sterling, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C.)
(And locations matter because this work really must be done in person.)
Unfortunately it’s hard to know which other practitioners in the world are using a method like Dr. Long’s. She has trained many hypnotists, but it’s hard to know who still is using this method, as it isn’t the easiest way for a healer to facilitate regression therapy.
If you were looking for a skilled practitioner of this specialty within past-life regression therapy, I would recommend that you google these terms:
“Regression therapy” “Frozen blocks”
Rose wrote: “How often does one read the perspective of someone who works in the drugging business?”
My perspective is that of someone who has worked in the drugging business. Part of my first job was giving methadone to heroin addicts every day. Although I was never in a very dangerous situation myself as I was well taken care of, the risks were high and certainly my opinion of drug addiction was partially formed through working in that environment.
The irrational behaviour, the stealing, the aggression, the fight dogs, the helpless children, none of that was pleasant. And I can understand anyone who’s worked with people in active addiction having the attitude GIMLI has.
There was a case in Edinburgh (where I grew up) of a pharmacist being threatened by a heroin addict with a syringe full of blood. Edinburgh in those days was known as “The AIDS capital of Europe” and it had a huge heroin problem.
Mind you, it’s far from the whole picture (in my opinion). Two of my good friends are ex-heroin addicts with 20 years of clean time, and they are both really incredible people.
I would really be interested in a session with Coletta, Rose. It sounds so interesting, I can’t help but tingle with excitement!
Unfortunately I can’t find a website for Dr. Coletta Long, except one that seems to be about ten years old. Do you have any contact info or a website for Dr. Long, Rose?
DAVE, you can find many links to that old website of Dr. Coletta Long’s at my main website, http://www.rose-rosetree.com. Look at the links for Energy Release Regression Therapy.
If the Mindspring bit of website no longer has contact information, that would suggest that Dr. Long has stopped seeing clients. She is well into her 80′s, so that is possible. But I doubt it, knowing her.
Just contact her for details of sessions.
Of course, I am also someone who definitely does sessions with clients, using what I have adapted from Dr. Long. Information about that is at http://www.rose-rosetree.com. The version I use is called “Energy Release Regression Therapy” and it is done in Sterling, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C.
My personal perspective, for what it’s worth, is this: I recommend a first session of Aura Healing and Transformation by phone in advance of booking that kind of hynosis-and-regression session. (That means a phone session with me where you mention that you are interested in regression therapy, because I know you have had some sessions with me already, DAVE, but it would be smart to mention this specifically.)
Besides the healing power of such a session, I can give you my perspective on whether or not it is appropriate to go for regression therapy at this time.
For example, I have a client, GLADYS, who is doing really well with sessions about once a month. Because of what I have learned about her, through Skilled Empath Merges etc., I have suggested that she wait a bit before doing regression therapy.
Most clients do really well, right from the start, with this superb type of past-life regression. Also, I hold Coletta in the highest regard; she is a miracle worker, for sure. However, in my experience, sometimes it is better to wait a while before going for this type of session, depending on a particular client’s particular patterns of STUFF.
GLADYS is gradually learning about self-authority, trusting her feelings and thoughts, and using internal validation to guide her more and more in daily life. Given her particular patterns of STUFF, these have been really difficult aspects of life for her so far.
Months ago, GLADYS had a trip planned to go to Texas. When she learned that Dr. Long works in Texas, GLADYS told me she wanted to go see Coletta. (Good move on GLADYS’ part. Blog-Buddies, any time you have an ongoing relationship with a healing practitioner it is both respectful and smart to let that healer know if the extra work seems appropriate for your process together.)
Personally I was dubious that this would be a good time, compared to LATER. But certainly nothing would be lost, and it’s exciting to be able to work with the woman I consider to be The Greatest Regression Therapy Practitioner in the World, Dr. Coletta Long. I encouraged GLADYS to go, since she wanted to.
Well, GLADYS went. She get to experience this magnificent type of regression therapy. We talked after GLADYS got back to town and we were in session again.
GLADYS admitted that she felt disappointed, although she respected Coletta enormously and “supposed” that results came from the session. What she experienced in past-life regression was “probably true, though I doubt it a lot.”
Sigh! Exactly the outcome I had anticipated, though I had not directly shared the full extent of my misgivings.
GLADYS would undoubtedly have found better results if she had moved out some bits of STUFF beforehand, whether doing regression therapy with Coletta or me or anyone else.
For contrast, consider JOE. He didn’t seem ready for Energy Release Regression Therapy either, not initially. After several sessions, his self-authority grew enormously. So he became ready for a clearer experience. I told him I thought so. Sure enough, right from his first session of this type, JOE did great.
In fact, he moved out a significant portion of a rare disease that he had suffered from for years. Just that one session. Not bad!
I hope this perspective is helpful, DAVE.
PRIMMIE, you are absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing this additional facet of your experience.
Thanks a lot for the info, ROSE! Food for thought!
Rose, it was an interesting job and I learned a lot about people. But it wasn’t a healthy environment for someone young and highly tuned to painful emotions.
As a worker in the MMJ industry, I would like to provide another perspective.
I am a licensed grower and caregiver, which means that I legally grow and provide medical marijuana (MMJ). I love what I do, and I put love into every part of what I do. I live alone, no children, and grow my plants inside my house during the cold months and also outside during the warmer months. I am completely dedicated to my plants and treat them as I would myself, I feed them organic “food”, no pesticides or chemicals, ever, and my plants are absolutely gorgeous, clean, pure, and my goal is to provide the highest quality medicine to my patients and the members of the dispensaries possible. I provide medicine in both whole plant form (bud) and concentrate (hash). I put love and reiki energy into my plants (live, dried and concentrated form) and I listen to my plants as well as to my patients as to what they need and want. I do not get caught up in the “good or bad” arguements regarding MMJ – I believe that it is a very powerful plant with much energy, which, like any powerful energy, can be used for “good or bad” (i.e., fire, electricity, etc.) I believe that MMJ has the potential to do much good. More so than pharma “drugs”, with less potential for harm and side effects. Because of it’s power, I would not deny that the potential for overuse and abuse exists. I myself use MMJ very infrequently – maybe once a month, at most, for spiritual reasons, insight, to connect with the plant, and to test the product, of course. This is just one of my “tools” I use at times, for spiritual connection, I also use prayer, meditation, drumming, channeling, EFT, Reiki, yoga, sometimes just a really long hike by myself in the mountains. I respect them all as very powerful and helpful and having their place in my life. I would not spend all day every day stoned, any more than I would spend all day every day doing yoga or meditating or any of those things.
As for the other person in my industry, that seems to have such contempt and disdain for the people that he/she is making medicine for – I am curious as to why you would stay doing that job if you feel the way you do about what you are producing and who you are producing it for. There are plenty of 9-5 jobs out there that would probably bring you much more joy and if you are so disgusted with it – please – do something else – our industry needs more care, compassion, and love, definitely not contempt, disgust, and irritation. Imagine if doctors felt such contempt for their patients, i.e. “these whining, complaining people always crying and whining about their illnesses and pains – they need to pull themselves together and stop being such babies!” Or this can apply to anyone – what if teachers felt this way about their students, or anyone that provides a product or service – It can be done with love and joy, or with hate and disgust, and that is what is being put into the world, tied and connected with whatever product or service they are providing.
I realize that many people are critical of what I do, and some probably hate it and hate me. I am not in denial that some or many would refer to me as a “drug dealer” regardless of my mindset, intent, or legal licensing status. However, I love what I do, and what I provide and who I provide it for, and it is my intent to bring love and healing into the world in this manner, and this is good. If everyone in the world did that, even just a little – into whatever product or service they provided, they world would be a much better place, and that cannot be denied. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read and consider this perspective.
“Hating you” because you sell medical marijuana doesn’t seem fair, JESSE. Since you have written to this blog I will, however, share my perspective about the problem inherent in this lifestyle.
Intention is a big part of the karma that people create in life, and your intention is sweet. Moreover, for every person who dislikes your profession, there are hundreds of fans who consider medical marijuana a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful choice.
Some just feel that way about any supplier of pot or weed or grass, while others reserve a special love of pot when sold as a way to ease pain. Well, enjoy it.
A bigger part of karma that people create involves what a person says and does. In reality. Not in fantasy.
In my 60+ years, I have never seen so much political and social pressure that pushes people into becoming customers for you and your fellow suppliers. Personally, I find this glorification of a pot lifestyle distasteful, particularly the sanctimony around the word “medical.”
As if calling something “medicine” makes it a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful choice.
And, with all appropriate respect, you are a drug supplier, JESSE. Calling what you do an “MMJ Industry” fits in perfectly with the prevailing sanctimony and preference for fantasy over reality.
On the level of people’s auras, the damage is not lessened because it is being provided by an industrialist, however profoundly he is filled with sweeness and light.
Hypnosis is a great way to ease pain, and without side effects. Marijuana is not.
At least to this aura reader and healer.
Just this weekend, I facilitated multiple sessions of Energy Release Regression Therapy for a client whose current life has been astrally slimed because of previous lifetimes involving drug use. Gladys made huge progress, but she is hugely courageous. Otherwise she would have not been willing to revisit experiences that could be considered psychotic, related to frozen blocks stuck in her mind-body-spirit.
Oh yes, pot is a drug.
It is not a pharmaceutical product that helps the body function more normally.
It makes the body function abnormally, then come crashing back to normal… at least until the user’s system is so filled with STUFF from this experience that the system is sorta-high all the time.
STUFF, emotional and spiritual debris on the level of auras and the subconscious mind, goes directly into that person’s mind-body-spirit system.
You can call this STUFF “beautiful” or “cosmic” or “wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.” Neither attitude nor fantasy will change the consequences of having that STUFF.
Finally, JESSE, I’m not surprised that you love drumming, channeling and other practices.
Pursuits like these often appeal to people with a spiritual addiction. Even after addiction to substances is released, a former pothead or alcoholic is at risk for developing a spiritual addiction.
What do such practices have in common with weed — or the less intense STUFF-producer, alcohol – or the more intense STUFF-producers known as cocaine and heroin?
STUFF-producing substances, like channeling and drumming, position a person’s consciousness squarely inside an astral frequency.
Sure it feels high. However long-term consequences involve crippling a person’s ablility to live (or spiritually evolve) at human frequencies.
In my brand new how-to book, “Use Your Power of Command for Spiritual Cleansing and Protection,” you can learn a great deal about The Romance of the Astral and other problems where human beings pursue an interesting experiment in withdrawing from human life.
However, I don’t recommend that you study anything like that unless you question your lifestyle. And lifestyle is a sacred choice, your choice alone.
Of course, even for a pothead things do come right in the end, after being cleaned up on The Other Side after such a lifetime.
If you choose not to incarnate again on earth, no worries. If you do return to earth, while in the womb, all your frozen blocks of stuck energy from all the substance abuse will return. There are just two ways to resolve it that I know of:
Either move it out through technologies that move STUFF out permanently from your aura or else live with the very upsetting, unpredictable karma that is attracted — because weed-caused STUFF really does produce Law of Attraction-type consequences.
Of course, STUFF can be healed while still in this lifetime. Addiction to pot or other substances can be overcome completely.
Otherwise your lifestyle is an interesting way to spend part or all of a precious human lifetime. Sounds as though you’re enjoying it for now. Your soul won’t be the least bit damaged, just the quality of your human life.
And, be honest. How much does that even matter to you any more?
While I was dating “MURRAY,” a pothead, he had a lot of psychic experiences. So did I. Even though I wasn’t smoking weed at that time in my life.
Do you think the marijuana had anything to do with that?
I also had an experience with MURRAY, the pothead, where it felt as though I was astrally raped.
By which I mean that it seemed as though one time he lifted out of himself in a body of light and took me. After he came, he left.
What makes it all the more creepy is that, for all the time we were together, MURRAY was usually impotent.
JANICE, each pothead displays certain problems that are universal, in addition to the very personal toll that marijuana takes on each individual.
This STUFF, deposited each time somebody gets high on weed, can definitely be healed.
Before making any further response to your questions, I want to reassure you and anyone you have known who has gone through addiction to marijuana:
Yes, this lifestyle can be altered.
Yes, Energy Spirituality can help. Because pot-related STUFF can be stuck in cords of attachment. It is definitely stuck in frozen blocks of energy (which can be removed through Energy Release Regression Therapy).
Yes, a person can overcome a substance addiction through force of will, or force of will plus a support group such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
However, I have known clients who did that and had to fight every day of their lives. Because nagging there in the background was a compulsion or a fear or a struggle or a conversation about “Slipping up.”
So it’s important to know that when STUFF is removed from one’s subconscious mind and aura, that kind of problem stops.
Energy Spirituality isn’t the only approach to take when there is a substance problem. I am not qualified as mental health professional or substance abuse counselor — nor is the first graduate of my Energy Spirituality Mentoring Program,SUZANNE-MARIE.
However, having these healing resources available can make a huge difference for potheads and their significant others.
One reason why potheads can become impotent or inorgasmic is that marijuana disrupts the usual human coordination between mind and body.
To be more technical, in terms of consciousness, human consciousness is quite different from experiences at the astral level.
Pot, cocaine, heroin, etc. give people temporary experiences at the astral level that corresponds to the chemical properties of the substance.
Same thing with different types of alcohol, only the psychic planes for alcohol aren’t quite as high as ones for substances like marijuana.
A pothead is someone who has come to identify more with astral-level experience than with human experience.
Sexual experiences also have an astral component, one that is designed to work in a healthy manner, coordinated with human experiences. This delicate functioning is easily disrupted with long-term use of substances like weed.
Your example of astral rape is not the first one I have encountered. When dealing with a pothead, it’s useful to remember that this individual’s sense of identity is more about being in a non-physical light body, an astral body.
Folks are used to thinking of astral travel in terms of psychic development, but it is actually the lifestyle of any pothead. There is a form of chronic out-of-body experience, not necessarily flashy, and not the sort of thing that people volunteer for consciously and willingly.
Back at Comment 80, JANICE, it is not unusual for someone with a grass-induced state of functioning to have many psychic experiences.
By definition, psychic or astral-type experiences involve paying attention at the psychic or astral level.
By definition, pot and other substances ingested to become “high” take a person to a psychic or astral level.
By definition, such experiences can become very enticing due to The Romance of the Astral. (This is a topic I have written on most extensively, so far, in my new book “Use Your Power of Command for Spiritual Cleansing and Protection.)
If you are in a relationship with somebody whose consciousness is most aligned with, or most curious about, astral experiences — whether that be a pothead or a person with a spiritual addiction, or someone involved in an Energetic Ponzi Scheme, etc. — you are interacting a lot at the frequencies favored by that person for growth and development. You will, most likely, have MANY experiences of this nature.
Unless a person is clear that “astral” and “psychic” do not mean the same thing as “spiritual,” it can be very enticing to have such relationships. This is, actually, why one is at risk as the romantic partners of anyone who lives mostly in the astral whether that be a pothead or a person with a spiritual addiction, or someone involved in an Energetic Ponzi Scheme, etc.
ROSE,
This is such an important distinction you make, especially as since the 70s the concept of spiritual seeking has become intimately linked to drug taking, through the media and a kind of zeitgeist idea.
On a recent holiday in Spain we went into a bar/cafe for lunch, and there was a giant statue of Buddha sitting over the bar, surrounded by bottle upon bottle of liqueurs.
It kind of visually summed that link up for me. ‘Spirituality is a holiday from all reason’
Free love, drugs.. as you make very clear, the element that is missing from this lifestyle is the honouring of our human nature, and of course it can’t be eradicated and turns into deep misery.
I have an especial dislike of free love – trying to push away and eliminate our natural urge to continence a) doesn’t work and b) just seems really checked out to me. How can you have any kind of relationship when the basis of it is trying to eradicate the concept of relationship?
This is where Osho and the like seem to merely be taking the, er, mickey in my eyes. No surprise that there are certain so-called spiritual teachers whose followers are also mired in drugs and other alternative practices designed to check the seeker out of life and eradicate acceptance of humanity in all its shapes and forms.
I speak from direct experience as someone who has had both silly relationships and proper ones. Dope-smoking men might seem very peaceful and happy and light incense sticks, but they are also monosyllabic, prickly, depressive and infuriatingly unable to function at a human level. Result: unhappy girlfriends and unsuccessful lives – and however many incense sticks you burn around that does not make it prettier.
So ROSE, I’m very glad you bang this drum. The conflation (I would actually say ‘hijacking’) of spirituality with astral experience is one of the big illusions to see through as far as I’m concerned, and given my past habits of dipping into it (generally when I was feeling a lack of confidence in myself) I need to hear it, and welcome any chance to gain clarity around it.
Without understanding how can we expect to make good choices?
Thank goodness this hasn’t made up a major part of my life, but it has been a source of confusion from day 1 of my spiritual search and I’m sure I’m not alone in that. It still makes me cross, if anyone hadn’t noticed
I’m very much looking forward to receiving my copy of your new book and reading your take on the Romance of the Astral.
Amanda
Wow, Amanda. So heartfelt and eloquent and true!
Thanks.
Yeah AMANDA, I second what you say.
In regard to what people are saying above about sex and pot – it was true in my case too. Becoming “inorgasmic” sums it up!
Part of why I turned to pot was to help me feel my body more (ironically enough, looking back); but marijuana does work in a sense, physical sensations are enhanced (like how it seems that sound and taste are enhanced, too).
Interesting explanations, ROSE.
This is such an amazing and important thread. I agree whole heartedly with what ROSE is saying.
AMANDA, great insights!!!
I wanted to repeat something I’ve brought up before.
In my extensive experience with pot and being surrounded by users my whole life – the crux of the matter is emotional and psychological pain. From what I saw, the harder the pain, the harder the drugs.
There is absolutely no way that I could be straight for two years now without healing the traumas in my life (and ROSE’s work is the only thing I’ve ever come across to do so).
Awe, so glad to help, JADE. And so proud of you.
Hi Guys, at comments 71 & 72 ROSE & DAVE were talking about Coletta Long’s work.
I’ve clicked on her site, and agree with DAVE that it looks abandoned, especially since only cassette tapes are offered, and using a fax for ordering is mentioned.
On an unhopeful whim I did email her, I’m looking for tapes to manage physical pain. I have to say, I got an immediate, thoughtful and lengthy response from her. She also included some free articles and books that she sells through her site, a very kind act.
So yes, the site is valid and her email does work
She does not have any CDs about physical pain management (but yes she does sell recordings on CD, not just cassette, even though it’s not listed on her site). She is going to make other recommendations for me.
She brought up very practical information about the management of fear in relation to physical pain, and that “Everything that lifts the consciousness is related to healing.” It makes so much sense, reminds me of Energy Spirituality.
GRACE, good to hear from you. Sorry about the physical pain part and I hope it is better very soon.
Yes, Coletta Long is still doing sessions while in her 80′s, a real inspiration as someone who is of service to others.
