Heroin: The Gateway Cycle Part 3

The Law of Homeostasis states that the body-mind looking for balance will seek Jing. However no drug can give you Jing as it is endowed from birth, and such this cycle is now complete. Only functional organs in conjunction with working spirit can yield the manifestation of Jing.  Look for post as relates to this mysterious substance, "Jing".

Now back to the real world. Free flow, as we have discovered is the feeling of life in harmony with the elements. When free flow meets the stress of resistance there is a disruption of the flow of Qi. As these blocks and shocks become reinforced throughout life, these disruptions become organic blockages, memories held deep within the body-mind and by late teens it’s a slow, possibly sluggish experience of energy. Now opens the door of potentiality to the typical “gateway” cycle for illicit substance use.  In part 1 we looked at the typical initiation phase of Cannabis.  In part 2 the journey escalates toward Amphetamine Type Substances.  In part 3  we look at the concluding chapter of an atypical gateway cycle of drug using behaviour; Heroin.

The following video is by Jost Sauer, and is entitled, "How Drugs Work Part 2".

The following article is by me.  Of note are the paragraphs entitled, Cannabis part 1, ATS part 2, and Heroin, part 3, the summation of which were largely taken from notes that I transcribed during two seminar series’ conducted by Jost Sauer, during May and October of 2006. I am very grateful and acknowledge Jost as the author of this framework of Elemental explanation. 

Heroin.

Yin, sedating, opiates. 

Qi needs to flow simply because it’s the experience of life. The more obstructed the meridian system, the more overwhelming the experience of the symptom. The Law of Homeostasis is now indicating the introduction of heroin, one of the world’s best painkillers, into the gateway cycle. 

Water Kidney, Yin/Yang, rejuvenated blood, a feeling of inner wisdom and knowing 

Wood Liver, passively contented, smooth 

Fire Heart, settled in the mind resonating peace and warmth 

Earth Spleen, intensive focus, concentration and clarity 

Metal Lung, now, “rite” now, transfixed within the moment 

Every action has a reaction, however heroin is a corrupt correction which depletes Jing and organ size. Jing is derived from the pure Yin of the universe, the essence of pure potential and natural ability. Essence refers to the material aspects of existence and spirit to the non-material. The fusion of the spirit (Shen) with essence (Jing) is the ineluctable event that creates life, (Hammer, L. pg6). Persons enduring this experience, have a “life force fuel” deficiency, oscillating between cycles of pain and heroin intoxication. Symptomatology includes living in fear, with no willpower, tooth decay and a decline of interest in sex. Scratching, fidgeting, angry outbursts, selfish behaviour, a sense of spiritual defeat, incidences of theft, no internal judgment, a will do “anything” context, kill, prostitution etc. Vomiting, due to the inability to assimilate and digest food. Bad skin, immunity problems and a lack of control over life events.
