Drugs and the Spirit
LSD took America by storm in the 1960's. The effects of this drug on the mind became entwined with the social upheavals of that time, and laws were passed against it to take their place among laws against narcotics. LSD, however, was similar in its effects to plants and mushrooms used for centuries by healers and shamans from cultures all over the world. These substances are widely considered to have great spiritual value, and form the core of religious beliefs in many cultures. In America, the strong Puritan streak that still runs through this country has led to both an uninformed view that LSD is just another drug of abuse, as well as the subtler notion that no "genuine" spiritual experience can be brought on by taking a drug.
Yet the evidence is strong and persistent that the so-called psychedelic drugs do indeed bring profound spiritual benefits to their users. Some of these users have even coined the term "entheogens", meaning "God within", to emphasize that aspect of their actions. The purpose of The Web of Possibilities is to keep in the public eye, through the freedom of the World Wide Web and the Internet, the real truth about entheogens, and their potential for assisting human spiritual growth.
