Love your experince, Alan--don't get gaslit by a Jinn!

Yes and all to easy to have happen. It is dangerous to alt reality if you go in gung-ho

I had a number of spirit encounters. I would say they absolutely have no capacity to harm us. Our fear is what can hurt us. It comes from our free concieved ideas. No different than phsychedelics. Most people especialy first timers is already soak in fearporn before they even get their hands on one.
Five or so yeras ago one of my children told me that she wants to try weed. I explained to her what is it and what it does. And if she wants to try it she had to do it in our place so I can watch over her such that anyone who tries to harm her will have to go over my dead body. She had a very good experience.

weed makes one prone to entity attachment. It will probably change her personality.

I really wish I could get here. I have been working with altered states my whole lifetime. ( love the subject ).

In my case, no substances needed. What I might say here, for now, is that what we ARE is enough. All we need for this is 1) consciousness, 2) the breath, and 3) a body. We've got all of that! If anyone is seriously interested in exploring additional states of consciousness, ie: the rest of yourself, then the WORK must be done. Weak, lazy, sluggish systems will not do. The real way forward is to build/grow a stronger organism and the way this is done is through practice and discipline. Mind-breath-body. Meditation, pranayama, asana.
