We have fallen on the false entertainment and debauchery. We live in a society where falseness and apparent world reigns over. We live in a society which seems to have lost all its values. The more technologically advanced the science has become, the more mechanized the world has become. The man has forgotten of himself nowadays because he is entertained himself with his machines and own creations. The current man of this world has turned himself into a machine and the human being lives on a state of emptiness even though he apparently seems to have much. He lacks the principles, moral and love with himself and his neighbors. He wants to be away from pain and suffer under these circumstances. He gets involved in the drugs world and artificial trips which make him addicted in this reality of life. … I was about to die… My name is Esmeralda. I am 17 years old. I was already consuming drugs when I was 13. I began smoking pot and then cocaine. I was seriously addicted to drugs but I didn’t accept it. I tried many times to commit suicide but nothing seemed right to do the trick. One day I attended school under the influence of drugs. Teachers noticed that and told my father. I thought I was about to die because I consumed a lot of pot and cocaine. I was temporarily suspended from school. However, I continued consuming. I couldn`t stand two days without drugs because I would get out of control. I used to cut myself with a penknife to become calm. It didn`t matter how painful it was. It made me a little calm. I got involved into a lot of troubles because of drugs. I was about to die. It was a time when I sold all my clothes to buy “ mugrero” –A Mexican term for cheap drugs-. I thought to prostitute myself to get money for drugs. As a matter of fact, you don’t expect to prostitute yourself when you are doing drugs to accept you are dependent on that. Think of you mother. Think how much she is suffering to see you are sinking into the mud because she wants to help you out and you don`t let her. Think of yourself. Life is not meant to consume drugs. Death is a consequence of drugs. Change your life before the TV newscasts and newspaper headlines say, “Another one die of a drug overdose”. Esmeralda fron México.

Youth is born with parents who are more interested in money and set a bad example for their sons. Our current youth is given a false education without moral and spiritual principles. Youth is stirred to hatred and violence instead of being taught good thinking. Humanity is nowadays defenseless to the drug problem due to the fact of having this false education in their homes and schools they attend. It is vulnerable and unprepared to face a totally artificial consumer society. Gnosis and the The Centro Gnostico Anael -Anael Gnostic Center-help all those who want to change the rhythm of their hectic existence by means of techniques and psychological procedures which allow him or her to know himself or herself, to know his or her defects in order to remove them. This turns out to be the only real way to change. All this stuff about drugs is awfully distressing. A lady who quit drugs told to a lecturer in a meeting, ”Whatever meeting you are tell people that almost all the friends I had when I used to consume drugs either have gone or are in jail for felony”. Another drug addict expressed, “Wherever you go. Wherever you talk. Whatever you write. Tell the young people that never begin doing drugs because once they have begun it can be too late to get out of it”. The drug addict’s friends are the same drug addicts by affinity law. The psychological world of their thoughts is related to drug consuming and this becomes a psychological need. The drug addict’s organic cells are fed by way of the drugs so a need of consuming comes afloat. That is to say, the same organism demands for drug consuming as a way to feed itself.
