Re: fasting while smoking marijuana.... good bad?

I am honestly shocked to find your reply lacking in any ad-hominem attack. Great, now we can actually have a meaningful discussion. I sincerely hope you learn something from this.

Your argument is basically that a dissociated piece of self is false, because it cannot represent the whole. Well, guess what? God, all-that-is, infinite totality or whatever you want to call it *cannot be whole without your ego*. That's right. Because the ego IS an aspect of God. So really, you are saying tha God is false because it is not whole therefore cannot represent the whole, or according to your own semantics, that your 'True' self is actually a 'false' self. As you can see, your reasoning leads nowhere and doesn't hold water.

This is precisely why the ego must be *integrated*, because you CANNOT be your "true" self without it. Neither can 'all that is' be whole without it as a funtioning, integrated aspect.

Do realize that it is crtically important for "god", the collective, to be connected and integrated with the ego, just as it is critically important for you, the collective, to be connected to your cells. What happens when the communication lapses? Cancer. Disease. And whose fault is it? Ahhhh... It's not the cell's fault now is it?

Thus, any substance that separates mind from body or consciousness from mind or any aspect of ones being is NOT helping one to awaken to any notion of a true self, period. Drugs, especially parasitic plants that dissociate soul from body are especially harmful.
