Woodford was on – and much hotter than usual. The Blue Lotus speakers tent was buzzing with vibrant talks from Australia’s leading Natural Therapists.
I loved it and thoroughly kicked ass with my view on recreational drugs. Thanks to the uplifting, inspirational and creative atmosphere of the Festival this was a perfect scenario to explore the most pressing issues for people with drug experiences wanting to explore invisible worlds and multidimensionality without the use of substances. My talk on Psychedelic Evolution provided plenty of thoughts and recommendations for a happy new year. My motto: if you spent a lot of money on drugs make sure to get the most out of it - without the need to be out of it.
My talk discussed the biggest lies drug users and ex-druggies have to face while providing simple but effective solutions:
1. The theory of addiction is an outdated lie. By living in a certain way you naturally will become powerful and independent over substances.
2. Most Rehab centres mislead drug users by telling them they can’t recapture drug experiences. Utter bullshit - you can go higher than the best drug on this planet. Believe me, I’ve been there and done it. I trip higher than the cleanest Ice, and so do many others who follow the path. The universe wouldn’t allow you to experience those states if you couldn’t follow up on it. The drugs are only the first step, you are required to act upon and to continue the journey. Don’t take advice from people who are stuck in the chicken coop. Read my books or come to my talks.
3. Drug use is not about escapism, except in the case where people use drugs to escape from the reality as created by the current society.
4. Society cannot control drug abuse unless they provide people with a new way of living which must match the experience of drugs. This new way of living is available to all of us right now.
5. Marijuana isn’t the gateway to harder stuff. Anti-depressants are the new gateway drugs to ICE and Heroin as people are conditioned to believe that chemical imbalances are the cause for depression and emotional instability. As antidepressants fail to work after a while people are inspired to correct their wrongly assumed chemical imbalance with Ice. Obviously Ice leaves Prozac for dead - people are hooked on a new chemical.
6. Chemical imbalance isn’t the cause for people’s misery, nor is it the financial crisis. The cause of the problem is the inability to live correctly. My talk on the Chi Cycle was well received as it explained in simple steps how to live a life of passion, vitality and magic – in particular how to use the Chi cycle to continue the journey the drugs started.
Woodford 2008/2009 was a great gathering of like-minded souls and once again the organizers made sure that we all could enjoy each others company by having plenty of food and drinks. Well done. A special thanks to Dominique for organising and managing the Blue Lotus tent. I had a great time, see you next year to kick some more ass.

In Drug Repair That Works Jost continues the story from Higher and Higher but takes it to another level.

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.
