JOST’S NEW BOOK IS OUT NOW!

DRUG REPAIR THAT WORKS
By Jost Sauer
Published by Allen and Unwin
$27.95

Psychedelic, insightful, spiritual and practical, Drug Repair That Works is one of the most profound and provocative books written about recreational drugs in recent times. Join Jost on a wild ride through the invisible worlds from addiction to psychosis to recovery. Read this ground-breaking and gripping book and change your life and the future of the planet.

In Drug Repair That Works Jost continues the story from Higher and Higher but takes it to another level. He faces his final taboo – his own period of madness and psychosis – and makes sense of the darker aspects of his past. Again, interweaving his own story and new insights into psychosis, with case studies of ice, speed, violence, sex and redemption, Jost proposes a radical new way of interpreting drug experiences and shows how to heal a drug past.

Q: How can we provide more attractive models of living for young people?

A: It is the younger generation who hold the future in their hands. We are heading for a major shift in all aspects of our lives. So I would say, don’t try and fit in with the old worldview and the old way of doing things. Don’t seek advice from people from that world as they may well try to talk you out of your visions. Hold your ground and don’t be afraid to do things differently.

The key to the new world is to build inner security not focus on trying to gain external security through safe jobs, investing in real estate and so on. True wealth lies within your organs and inner security comes from living in a way that strengthens your organs. Your health, weaknesses and fear, may well hold the key to your destiny so work with them. Believe anything is possible because it is. As Ghandi said, be the change you want to see.

DRUGS, SPIRITUALITY AND THE NEW AGE

My first acid trip was, I thought, a beautiful spiritual experience. It satisfied the deepest desires of my soul. I understood the ultimate goal of human existence. I felt utterly complete. It was as if a filter had been removed and all my senses could finally function at optimum level. I could taste colour, see sound, hear people’s thoughts. I felt I was an integral part of a something much bigger than myself. I had cosmic significance and I wanted more. I spent the following decade chasing that state through drugs but I never again recaptured that perfect intoxicating mix of exhilaration, liberation and euphoria; the thrill of the realisation that the world was going to change and the anticipation of a life of limitless opportunity and wonder stretching ahead of me. Instead, the magical, colourful hippie world collapsed and my dreams vanished with it. The drugs that I used to try to generate that state took me to the depths of despair and the brink of death. I became a speed-addict and anarchist, I lost my passion to change the world and I was left with depression, emptiness and a sense of loss. It took me years of experiential and theoretical research into health, fitness and self-improvement to regain some excitement about life and to discover that what I had been searching for had been within me all the time.
