Answer from Master Kosen

 

My master taught us very deeply about drugs.

What distinguishes a medicine from a drug?

In today's society, everything is designed to develop addiction, since the first cause, the true reason for human life, is deliberately concealed from us to maintain a social system based on profit, competition, and excessive consumption.

The world economy can be maintained only through addiction, since we must consume too much to generate growth. Our society itself is addicted to growth and ready to kill to get its fix. Of course, this world is unfortunately demonic and leads us toward apparently inevitable self-destruction.

Stopping the use of all kinds of drugs and healing ourselves with the right medicine is our only salvation. This is not a question of illegal or legal substances.

Who is more rotten: the pharmaceutical conglomerates, or cocaine and cannabis networks?

It is about becoming master of our lives and addictions, which are not necessarily linked to outside substances, but to the chemicals our own brains produce and our bodies are "hooked" on. We produce these substances through psychological behaviors that create particular secretions to which we become accustomed: self-victimization, domestic violence, erotomania, work addiction, jealousy—and those are only a few examples.
