ive been reading a buddhists guide to life and what the meaning of life is

and its pretty interesting talking about how drugs alcohol do not do anything but trigger things off inside u that u already have, so surely they must be right that u could actually be able to give ur self a high naturally if enuf meditation is done,

sorry im really bad at writing, can someone decipher what i put

I actually thought about becoming a Buddhist but have never followed it through. I like the aspects and ideals about it and reckon it would chill me out. I doubt i’ll do it any time soon cos according to the teachings of Buddhism, you cannot be part of the military, as I’m joining the navy it would be hypocritical of me to become one (Buddhist)! :love:

I began to hang out with some Buddhists during my first year of uni (and my first year away from the scene) and what they were trying to show me all made sense.
Going the whole way wasn’t quite right for me but i definately took some bits of the philosophy and adapted them to my life and it works.

theres no right way, just lots of slighty shaddowed differing paths intertwining into the darkness, choose wisely.

Sorry, drifting off into philosophy or somesuch…

thats very true, taking a drug changes chemical levels already inside us so i guess if enough training of the body and mind was done eventually feelings similar to those attained using drugs could be found, ive read a few bit on buddism, its a very very interesting religion and way of life
