The need for altered states of consciousness....


If anyone has any doubt that humans have a need for altered states of consciousness, just watch kids at play sometime. Merry-go-rounds, see-saws and whirling around until falling to the ground, intoxicated. As the get older they find other ways, like fast cars and Cannabis, though rarely at the same time. (:-)

The simple fact of the matter is, mankind will find a way to alter his/her consciousness. If society does not recognize this need and address it in some helpful and respectful way, we will continue to have huge problems with addictions. 

Setting up a model of deprivation only makes the problems worse. There needs to be a system which incorporates ritualized access to altered states in a safe environment using protocols similar to those used by the first modern shamans.
