Worshipping imaginary gods or experimentation with consciousness expanding drugs?

Not sure either are helpful given the doses people in the western nations would be inclined to take.

Neither.

We all clearly see where worshipping imaginary Gods has gotten us thus far.

Consciousness expanding Drugs are only temporary and have nasty side effects.

Perhaps we should open the discussion to more than this arbitrary dichotomy. What other paths should we explore?

Paying attention to the channeled messages of "others." They are all very similar but I still find bits and pieces that are different. I've mentioned Seth before and recently stumbled upon a couple others.

I'm sure I have mentioned that experiencing "god" or "enlightenment" is a personal path. So, really, to "advance" humanity is to encourage SELF exploration.

Actually, the bible is very specific and the idea of finding a 'personal'
path is very modern - not in the bible.

I didn't mean to sound snippy, but those are the only answers I could come up with (to the questions) and speaking from personal experience (concerning consciousness enhancing drugs)

I believe that we are now forced upon the path of trying to save ourselves and our earth, so our children's children's children (okay, i borrowed that from the moody blues) have a (healthy) place to live and breathe.

For that I will rely on Science and Technology, rather than God(s)

It is very beneficial for one's Self and peace-of-mind, to be spiritual, without turning into a complete mindless drone/sheep, and follow the teachings of self proclaimed "holy" men, just because we are afraid of dying.

Is it possible, to be spiritual, without being a religious fanatic? I say Yes.

Gaia

I agree with the "self" exploration/improvement part.
