    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.

    Hi Airene,

    Thanks for taking time out to tell us about your story. You are obviously a responsible parent and it’s a shame that many parents out there are not.

    Although I am not a parent, I think you did a wonderful job in the way you handled your son with regards drugs.

    My post was more about the people who are in online spiritual awareness type of groups and taking drugs, however, your story is one in which many parents should read.

    Thanks again,

    Kevin

    Hi Anita,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I wasn’t referring to alcohol or caffeine as such, only drugs that people take to get an instant high – whether they use it for spiritual awakening or not.

    Hi Saggad,

    Firstly I would say well done for reaching out and having courage to share your situation here.

    Your english is just fine.

    I think that if you’re confused about which way to go with the girl, then it’s probably a sign that it’s not right for you. The thought of being lonely again would not be the right reason for staying with this girl.

    You are still a very young man and have many, many years and opportunities ahead of you, although you may not feel this is true.

    Concentrate on exploring the things in life that make you happy, you’ll meet more like minded people along the way and I’m sure that you’ll find a young lady that likes you for who you are and won’t try to change you.

    I wish you good luck.

    Thanks for your reply Regi.

    There’s no need to think too much about this.

    I’m not looking for anything,

    I’m not trying to achieve anything.

    Just curious to see if anyone else shares my views on this topic.

    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.

    Hi Brandy,

     

    Thank you for your concern.

    I am happy that you found those values important, but as you say, society is different now.

     

    Lots of children grow up without one or both parents and that is very sad.

    In my case, losing my mum wasn’t the main cause of my problems. My dad married again sbortly after and his wife was wicked to me.

    My dad was not there much and I lived in fear of this woman.

    She wouldn’t get away with it today, but psychologically the damage had been done.

    As I mentioned in a previous post, my beliefs in karma helps my mind a little.

    I am hoping that I can find confidence somehow and at some point I’d like to be able to help others putting my experiences to good use.

    I believe that these experiences do not happen through chance.

    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 Amy,

    Thanks for taking time to reply, I appreciate it.

    You do make some very valid points, thank you for that. I think that sometimes it needs others to point out what in hindsight, may be obvious, but at the time we just cannot see it for whatever reason.

    You are correct, I have held close the values in life that I deem important. it’s not been easy though, as a result I have been ridiculed so much to the point that I have questioned my motives.

    I can tell you this and I know I am not alone, but being  extremely sensitive as a young boy (and still am) with male chauvanist brother and father  was difficult. However, I would not want it any other way.

    Thanks again for your support,

    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.

    So sorry to hear about your mother’s troubles. Please do not wish her dead.

    It was in fact,  my dear mother that committed suicide when I was a baby.

     

    I know what it’s like to grow up without a mother’s love.

    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.

    Anita, it is only what I believe, we all have our own beliefs.

    But in answer to your question, I don’t believe there is a “hell”. For me it is a man made word only.
    I believe that there is a spirit world which consists of many levels and every soul (good or bad) eventually progress there.

    This is going in a different direction, but some people will tell you that people who commit suicide are punished.

    As I am a victim of suicide, I find this statement very damaging and I have had proof that this just isn’t the case.

    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.
