Bill Wilson's Psychedelic / Entheogenic "White Light Spiritual Experience" Explained
Following the December 1934 White Light Spiritual Experience, Bill W. spent the next thirty five years until his death seeking a renewal of his Towns Hospital “spiritual awakening.”
Bill Willson explains his psychedelic “White Light Spiritual Experience".
While under the care of William Duncan Silkworth at the Charles B. Towns Hospital in Manhattan, Friday December 14, 1934, Bill Willson would undertake the "Belladonna Cure". Every hour for 50 continuous hours, he was orally administered a mixture of Entheogenic Plants known as Deadly Nightshade, Henbane and Prickly Ash. The Alkaloids contained within these toxic hallucinogenic herbs were known to engender such "Spiritual Awakenings" as described here by Bill himself.

The genesis of Alcoholics Anonymous and the "Spiritual Awakening" known to many in the program as the only thing that could help an alcoholic to achieved life long sobriety was in fact discovered by Bill through with the molecules contained in some of nature's ancient wisdom.
God is nature, God is love, God is helping other's.

"I sunk into the most unbearable depression that I've ever known. I suppose that momentarily, at least, the last message of my prideful absences was crushed down. I was just a child crying alone, very alone, in the dark. For the extremity of this agony, I can find no words. And then I remembered crying out, "if there is a God, will he show himself?" And then came the miracle, the great central experience of my whole life. The room instantly lit up in a blinding glare of white, white light. I was seized by an ecstasy such as I had never known. It seemed to me that I then stood on a mountaintop where a great clean wind was blowing. I thought to myself, "but this is not air, this is spirit, this is the god of the preachers." How long I remained in this state, I just cannot say, and again, I have no words to describe what it was like. At length, however, I found myself on the bed, but now I was in a new world, a world in which everything was right despite the wrongs of the world I had been living in. I felt myself filled with the consciousness of the presence of spirit, of God. A great peace stole over me and there I layed and reveled in this new and loving consciousness. At length, they became truly frightened. I thought I was hallucinating, so I called Dr. Silkworth, told him the story as best I could, and I said to him, "Doctor, am I hallucinating? Have I gone crazy?" He questioned me and at length he said, "No, Bill, you are not crazy. Some great psychic event has occurred. I can feel it, I can see it, but I can't define it. Whatever it is, it is so much better than what you had only an hour ago. You better hold on to what you have." – Bill W. Speaking about his psychedelic belladonna trip.
It is well documented that Bill Wilson was an adulterer and a womanizer. He was serially unfaithful to his wife, and he would hook up with women in AA 20 years younger than him. Bill Wilson was the co-founder of a sex cult called Alcoholics Anonymous.
I dont know what many of you are talking about BUT i do know that AA works BECAUSE i have used the AA program among many other recovery tools, to stay off of meth for nearly 5 years after battling with a twenty year addiction. Meth doesn't hold a candle to AA.
I'm in AA. Me and my sponsor don't necessarily agree on this point but personally I think LSD used in a controlled setting to bring about contact with one's higher power isn't necessarily a bad thing and shouldn't necessarily count against someones sobriety since it is being used as a medicine and not necessarily as a drug.
Corrupt man
I had the same exact experience 20 years ago on my knees in suicidal despair in rehab. No drugs involved. And PS, the belladonna cure they refer to is homeopathy energy no “mother” of the plant. I never heard of them giving LSD.
If you have to take drugs to connect with God you are not connecting with God!
So he had spiritual awakening via LSD. Great…
THANK YOU BRO
Shortly after that, Ebby brought him a book called "The Varieties of Religious Experience" by William James. It contains numerous accounts of people having similar experiences.
Never once did he ever acknowledge what the LORD JESUS CHRIST DID FOR HIM ON THE CROSS. HE DIED AND ROSE TO TAKE UPON HIMSELF THE SINS OF THE WORLD. IT WAS GOD IN CHRIST RECONCILING MANKIND BACK TO HIS FATHER. WE ARE ALL BORN DEAD IN OUR SINS. WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN. ONLY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CAN FORGIVE AND TAKE AWAY OUR SINS. YOUR SELF HELP AND RULES WONT WORK. WE HAVE A SIN NATURE THAT CAN ONLY SIN. SATAN IS THE god OF THIS WORLD BLINDING PEOPLE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. HE TOOK YOUR PUNISHMENT SO YOU WONT GO TO HELL. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE. ❤
Instead of learning to recite the institutionalized narratives in the meetings for the approval, they all should read there own book ! There is a lot of written history about plenty of stuff ,before it became institutionalized!
Bill himself in writing said he developed a false self as a result in his participation with what he created and had to break away to help himself !
So this guy only had a spiritual experience while tripping but not in a sober state? Never in a sober state? I thought he had a white light experience than tried to recreate that experience later on with the use of psychedelics.
He had a hell of an acid trip (Acid Anonymous)
Even after that experience in the Hosipital he was still tempted to drink again
Took a acid trip camping and the white bright light has came to me in my vision and it’s extremely feels radiant of love and it’s message I will always be there for you it changed my life completely and to become a better person
While in Townes Hospital he was administered “The Townes-Lambert Cure” which contained Belladonna and Henbane, two well known delirium inducing drugs.
Bill Wilson was the Antichrist and his damage can be shown throughout the world near and far.
His teachings are evil and AA is a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Aa is a psychopaths kindergarten.
