Find the Real Buzz

 Have you ever noticed how some people seem to radiate a certain glow, as if they’re tapped into a source of energy that the rest of us can’t quite see?

Recently, a student shared a curious experience with a Master. They noticed that after their daily mindfulness and physical practices, they felt a strange, shimmering sense of intoxication. It wasn’t the kind of "drunk" that comes with a headache and a blurry memory; it was a state of intense, vibrant clarity—a natural high that made every movement feel like a celebration.

The Master’s response was simple yet profound: What is life worth if it isn’t ecstatic?

The Art of Being Consciously "Drunk"

Most people think of intoxication and awareness as opposites. Usually, if you’re "drunk" on something, you lose control. If you’re fully alert, you’re often stiff or overly serious. But the Master explains that the ultimate way to live is to be completely intoxicated by life while remaining 100% aware.

Think of it as having the exuberance of a party without the hangover. When a person engages in deep internal work, they aren't just "calming down." They are actually loosening the mental rigidity and the "stiffness" of the ego that keeps them feeling small and restricted.

Why We Seek a "Buzz"

In our world, many people feel they need an external substance—like a glass of wine—to finally relax, sing, or dance. This happens because the substance temporarily forced the mind to let go of its grip.

However, the Master points out a major flaw in that plan:

 * Bottles run out.

 * External substances cloud the mind.

 * There is always a "price" to pay the next morning.

The true potential of human consciousness is to produce its own "nectar." Science often points to the pineal gland and the complex chemistry of the brain, but the Master looks at it through the lens of human potential. When the human system is aligned through specific, dedicated practices, it begins to produce its own internal sweetness.

An Endless Supply of Energy

The beauty of this internal process is that it is entirely "on-demand." It costs nothing, it never runs out, and it actually makes a person more capable, not less.

The Master recalled sessions where, simply by focusing on the mechanics of the body and breath, the majority of the room would end up swaying in a state of pure bliss. They weren't high on a substance; they were high on the sheer fact of being alive.

The Takeaway

The goal of any serious internal practice isn’t just to find "peace" (which can sometimes sound a bit boring). The goal is to reach a level of exuberance where you are so deeply in love with existence that every breath feels like a shot of adrenaline.

When you stop looking for a "buzz" in a bottle and start looking for it within your own biology, you unlock a version of yourself that is both blissfully intoxicated and razor-sharp. That, according to the Master, is how life was meant to be lived.
