White hippies and their "anything goes"

One does not enter the space of altered states of consciousness without adequate preparation and without proper guidance by someone experienced, not to mention without observing the proper protocols. This means it is always necessary to properly consecrate a space before opening the doors of perception to normally unseen realms. Especially one does not hold ceremony in places that have operated as sacred space to indigenous peoples.

Whatever the beliefs and/or unbelief of contemporaries in the normally unseen, the fact of the matter is that there are beings and entities swelling the space of our world who are neither human, animal, plant or mineral but who are simultaneously connected to all four; and just like the human, animal, plant and mineral world these entities/beings can help or seriously harm. Islam calls these beings and entities the "jinn". Indigenous spiritualities call them by other names. These beings/entities are not mere Jungian abstractions or mental archetypes devoid of further reality. In fact they are as real as anything else, whatever the flatland ontology of the Anglo-European holds, says or perceives otherwise. And just as there are rules in the human, animal, plant and mineral world in how to approach those lifeforms, likewise there exist rules in how one ought to approach these normally unseen beings/entities as well. Such rules are known through long experience and hardwork by practitioners, whether they be genuine shamans, lawmen/women, initiatic adepts or similar. And for the same reason that an inexperienced person does not enter a pit of venomous snakes unless they be a seasoned snake handler, one does not enter the space and realm of the jinn spirits either unless one has genuine experience and built a proper relationship with that world. QED

Yet a dangerous, and largely counter-intuitive, fallacy pervades the world of white Western hippies who, other than a handful, are seriously misled while actively misleading (and potentially harming) others. They believe they are above all rules nor do they have to follow any because their false ontology holds that "anything goes." Allow me to suggest that this false white Western hippy ontology with its constructs is a clear as day projection of white supremacy and bourgeois middle-class neoliberal values: the same white supremacy and bourgeois neoliberal values that is actively destroying the planet. When these people argue that "there are no rules", what they really mean is that no rules apply to them as privileged white Anglo-Europeans. These people are also largely disdainful or otherwise patronizing towards traditional and indigenous rules/laws around ceremonial sacraments and the proper approach to them (such as Ayahuasca and similar). All of this is nothing more or less than a white colonial mentality yet again encroaching upon things that is absolutely not its business to do so.
