Ecumenical Buddhism: Burning Incense Is Psychoactive

Ecumenical Buddhism: Burning Incense Is Psychoactive

All I can say is it is about time that science has acknowledged that which priests and priestesses throughout history around the world have always known. Burning incense puts the spiritual practitioner into an altered date of consciousness. By studying alchemy we can learn how to create blends that aide the seeker in reaching different inner planes. It can also boost the work of the magician to bring about the results that he/she is seeking when in ritual.
Each blend of incense has it's own spirit. Some hang low to the ground, others waft to the heavens quickly. One blend will burn off quickly and leave a hint of a scent behind and another will burn slow and fill the room with it's essence. Scent is our most powerful sense. It can transport us to a place we haven't been to in years with just a small whiff of oder. If it can do this, how can one even doubt it's ability to aide us in rising on the planes or increasing a magickal working?

This is all a part (but not the whole by any means) of why we use incense in the Gnostic Liturgy of Divine Light or Eucharist.
