Thoughts, as you know, contain their own electromagnetic reality. This means that each thought is an electromagnetic system in fact and not just in theory. Such a system is the basis for your physical system and these are highly valid. Theoretically only, with drugs it would be possible to be lost within an idea, caught in its electromagnetic reality, and forced to follow the ramifications and developments of the idea in various guises. The value fulfillment system would be changed. There would be development within that system, but you would be lost to your own system.

In trance states, there is a more or less stationary system waiting, so to speak. In trance states, consciousness itself brings about the chemical changes within it as it, consciousness, travels. Changes do occur within the body. When consciousness alters its direction it automatically alters the physical system. When it is ready to return the physical system is automatically prepared to receive it.

Now in the drug situation the state of consciousness desired is brought about by altering chemical properties. Consciousness, travelling, cannot automatically manipulate the physical station. Consciousness must stay out, you see, until the chemical situation has changed.

The chemical changes propel consciousness outward, or far inward. This is aside: A small dose of salt, regular salt, taken with the drugs would help maintain a certain stability. It has a binding action on consciousness and acts as a cohesive.

The chemical changes brought about by such outside agents as drugs to some degree rob the inner self of its usual directive abilities, for the changes occur before the inner self has gathered itself together. It is not as psychically organized as it is in such experiences without drugs.

This is somewhat like drugging a child about to be born as a side effect of drugging the mother to make the birth easier, you see. Without drugs, the psychedelic experience will not occur unless circumstances are excellent from all aspects. There is little danger involved, as a rule. The chemical changes are automatically byproducts of the mobility of consciousness in such situations.
