RADIO CONVERSATIONS WITH ROY MASTERS
LSD
RM: Just recover yourself, recover your
balance.
YW:
But somehow, I just fell last night,
and I don't know what possessed me.
RM:
In what way?
YW:
I took LSD.
RM:
Oh, Dear!
YW:
And once I'd taken it, I couldn't turn
it off.
RM:
Well, I shouldn't think you could.
YW:
No. And anyway, I ended up calling him,
which I knew was the wrong thing to do: untimely, and unwise.
RM:
Well, anything you would do under LSD
would be untimely and unwise, because the very action, the very decision to
take it, is untimely and unwise. You see, a person can't do anything right
until he is "hooked up," as it were, to a center of Reason, and
Intelligence, and Love, and Truth.
I'm using lots of words, but I think you
know what I mean. In other words, if every morning when we wake up, the first
thing we do is meditate, then that decision to meditate hooks us up to that
Higher Knowledge, the Higher Awareness, from which vantage point (for the want
of better terms) everything we'll be doing throughout the day will be timely,
loving, wise, discreet, calm, patient, right-you see?
YW:
Yes.
RM:
Meditation is actually a decision to live
according to this knowledge for one day only, and the next morning when you
wake up, you do the same thing. It's the decision that leads you to the right
action. Until you make this decision each morning, and meditate for the
strength to be as you should be, everything you do will be wrong.
No action can
be better than it's source. I suspect that your decision to set yourself apart
from your boy friend was one based on egotism, one based on intellectual knowÂÂledge
of the Truth rather than the Truth itself because you should have had the power
to follow through.
YW:
Probably, because I don't seem to have
the strength inside to get him out of my mind.
RM:
Yes, that's right. And you thought the
best thing to do was to get away from him, so you could get him out of your
mind. It's not the right way to do it. You have to have the strength to get him
out of your mind without having to move away from him.
Any fool-excuse my
putting it that way-can take a vacation from his troubles and feel better.
That's not difficult to do, but it's not the right way to do it. You must have
the strength to keep people out of your mind, and to-well, you have to have
some other sustaining strength to replace your need for your boyfriend, and
your need for distraction.
