Quick introduction of myself: My name's Dylan, I'm from Charlotte, NC, USA, 18 years old. I found Franz Bardon's books through a tricky chain of events a while back, never really got anywhere mostly due to laziness, now I'm starting to work with them mostly for the purpose of elemental equilibrium, cause I need it pretty bad, and also so I can really experience all the great stuff the universe has to offer. Later on discovered A Bardon Companion, found it helpful, joined this group after that. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in this, cause it really feels like it some time. Anyway, on to my question. (From Rawn's site, http://www.abardoncompanion.com/Drugs.html) [The hallucinogens that nature provides, such as cannabis, amanita, peyote, etc., are another matter entirely. Some do have toxic effects (and others, tonic effects) upon the physical body, but these are usually not permanent since they arise from an organic substance that the body is naturally able to process. They do NOT damage either the silver or violet cords. Nor do they induce dis- integration. Instead, they *loosen* the bonds between the three bodies without damaging them. They organically force open the senses of the astral and mental bodies, much like eating some Chinese hot mustard forces open your sense of smell.] What I was wondering is, can the loosening of the bodies be permanent, at least in the sense that until you actually fix them they'll stay that way? It looks that way from where I'm standing. Is the elemental equilibrium going to fix this? I'd give it a solid Maybe but I'm really not sure... If not, what could I do to tighten my bodies back up again? Thanks in advance, Dylan
