In a world with lots of corruption, and lots of ways to get corrupted, whether that's the reason or not my eyes always knew to seek the natural.  I always suspected this is the same reason Plato didn't like paintings of natural things, but I found out I may have been wrong.  Art itself contains malice, because it's made by selfish people who find ways to encode mind into physical form, and you follow along.

Yes you like it and that means you resonate with the mind in question, but it's bigger and more powerful than you are and it's abducting you into its script anyway.  This, of course, doesn't *necessarily* (and usually doesn't) apply to *paintings*, per se, but either way the art contains a likely amount of malice; for example, consider why the artist wants to show you a painting.  Or why he wants to paint.

Are his intentions pure?  Is it the willingness to express?  Or is it for attention?  If it's just to express you'd think maybe he'd find it more convenient to allow you to look at the nature directly?  Heck, if the spot is that rare, take a photograph.  Anyway..

In a lost world we look to the harmony of nature & the original..

I don't even know if that's the reason my eyes see with an anchor.  It might be because I'm in Love with Mother Nature and was born that way.  Anyway..

This principle is especially important when it comes to how we biochemically treat our bodies.  I'd already written up something about healthful food and how it relates to the {human} body, so I won't get into that now.  However, I will get into drug-use..

Basically it's a) manipulation in domains we don't know much about, and b) *forcing* happiness out of the body per abuse.  It's an interesting gambit, and I don't see how it works.  I don't understand that kind of buying time; for example, let's say you take ecstasy and it makes you..say..ecstatic.

Now, if this were such a holy state, or even if it were just beneficial for the person to feel this kinda feeling at whim, don't you think that the body would have developed the ability to have that feeling at whim, or all of the time, or perhaps, wouldn't have, for some unknown reasons of the past, given it up?

Nature is pretty smart, my friend, and it's not all out to get ya'.  Mind, body, and soul work in harmony and are and were developed in harmony and so too with the Earth..nature is in harmony, and that's what the Native Americans understood while in companionship with the Great White Spirit, among other things..such as the trees, animals, children, and each other.

So if you want a guide to life, look to nature or what's natural, and also the original & pure..

..and taking drugs is abuse of the self for deriving benefit.

By the way, heroin addicts have missing auras and often are still addicted in their afterlives...so watch out for the spirits as you're tending toward the elementar.  please kthx.
