Quote by: Kuldeep That is nice to learn. But then which part of my post you do not agree with ?? If you go through my post cautiously. You would find Acion/Reaction of past deeds as very important aspect (Balance of Karmas, which prefixes the destination) and directs the outcome of actions, no matter how much great the person may be. If the information is correct then Budha was destined to die of defective Mushroom due to his past wrong deeds. You might have read about pricess Meera Bhai of Rajastan (India) who became widow as a child bride. She developed so much love for Lord Krishna that her brother in-law tried two times to kill her for such mad love for some un-known person. One time it is told, he sent a dreaded piosonous snakes in a basket, telling her that Lord krishna has sent basket of flower garlands for her. She opened the basket with atmost respect and devotion. To surprise of all around present, the basket turned actually full of flower garlands. On the second occasion, he sent her a glass of water contaminated with strong poison telling her Lord Krishna has sent Holy water (Amrita) for her. She drank that remembering her Lord as if her husband had sent it with equal love. Surprisingly nothing happened to her. This cent percent devotion, I refer to limitless power of mind. Such devotion is very very rare !!! ??? Higher consciousness is possible only if you can develop such peculiar power of mind through minds purity and practice as developed by Meera Bhai. Not so simple to practice as it is to just to write !! What sort of guided meditation you are referring to ?? I recommend purification of mind by trying to erase selfishness, self ego and developing love for all as equal as that for your own body and kith and kins. If anything heals as some miracle why to bother for terming it unlawful and for the mainstream medical industry, which has the authority of law behind them If anything is done for cashing it as prpagonda or fame or earning worldly benefits then, that system of powerful mind would never work...I can tell you with certainity. It should be just for understanding the absolute reality behind the individual consciousness and that is universal consciousness (you may name that GOD)

Okay, the monitor might get on our case if I debate this post as I am not sure how it directly relates to the topic of smoking. Other then that smoking is one way to bring one's attention to their breathing and allows one to relax for the purposes of reflecting inwardly. So you need to establish that link between you promoting your religion and the shaman useages of smoking in their religions. (perhaps I just did that?).

None the less, with some degree of caution that this might take things off topic a bit I will respond to what you said in the following post. To calm the Monitor I wish to point out that smoking and the use of smoke is a reigious ritual also, and not just a social habit. So I think that religion can play a role in this debate.
