Down the Earth - Webisode 5 - Alcohol and Drugs

In the 5th webisode of the Down to Earth Show, Toby and Tom Madigan talk about Drugs, Alcohol and Smoking, and their relationship with spirituality. Is it possible to be highly evolved and be a smoker? a drinker? a drug user? This is the first webisode dealing with this topic, usually quotes from Neale Donald Walsch's "Conversations with God" as a springboard, Toby and Tom launch into the topic and ask the viewers to send in their opinions to be discussed more fully in a future webisode.

THis whole "you can't transcend with chemicals" thing is so New World Order. Maybe someone who smokes a ton has a HUGE will to live, which they know exactly how far to push. If someone who drinks and smokes *didn't* have a great will to live, then they would have already been killed by their habits.

We say "drugs" and mean "narcotics". But...

Hallucinogens are homework for EVERYONE. SO DO SOME> NOW. Or else you may not pass go. They are mental training wheels. Neale Walsch is such an idiot.

I've just been thinking about this! I've gone through bouts of total abstinence and bouts of excess on occasion. It's interesting finding that middle ground for oneself and one's spiritual practice. Thanks for this discussion!

I just came upon your webisodes, I love your feedback, your humor and your insite and now I read you are no longer doing these webisodes........Bless you and Thank you both...

I think god's comment through walsh about "little will to live" implies "in the moment" that you take in the intoxicant you have little will(power) to live. I agree with Tolle's perception that Drugs and alcohol bring you below thought. Whereas truely 'living' exists in the real.....in the moment.

I just want to say that I happened upon your webisodes and appreciate them very much.

So, maybe I'll try being as carefree and light-hearted as is socially acceptable when it's caused by alcohol, without consuming alcohol. Not that I drink that often at all. Actually, I was thinking about doing this in a party-type situation where most others are drinking, but I think a better idea would be to try this in any social situation since it's such a relaxed state. Hmmmmm...
