Are mystical experiences from drugs the same as Spirit-led visions? In this episode of the Seers See Podcast, Doug and Emily tackle the sensitive and timely topic of drugs, spiritual perception, and the Kingdom of God. Together we explore:
Personal stories of spiritual curiosity, sobriety and naïveté about drugs.
The modern drug landscape: marijuana legalization, ayahuasca retreats, “toking the Holy Ghost,” neo-pagan revivals, and why today’s culture is drawn to altered states.
Ancient Near Eastern practices
Evidence of mind-altering drug use in The Hebrew Bible?
New Testament clarity
Theological Reflection: Substances = manipulation, counterfeit, deception. Spirit = God’s initiative, trustworthy, transformative.
Hope for today: If you’ve experimented with drugs for spiritual reasons, there’s freedom in Christ.
Authentic intimacy with God replaces counterfeit highs.
Key takeaway: The Bible acknowledges that substances can alter perception — but warns against them as counterfeit pathways. True revelation and mystical vision come only from the Spirit of God.
