oh i’m aware, i’m not going about starting drug cults because i saw god or anything, i knew the “part of the universe experiencing itself” from Buddhist philosphy before tripping. But during my psychadelic experiences i could feel it (no i didn’t read any philosphy right before it, sure i was aware of it but this is a rather universal experience with or without phisophical background). But i do disagree on the “but because it really is that simplistic”, man, without experiencing it there is no way to truly understand, countless people (psychonauts) have attempted to describe it, and all of those descriptions pale in comparison to the experience. It’s like trying to describe colour to a blind person.
it’s not science, it’s closer to philosphy than anything. I don’t belive in magic, but i do belive in a unity of all beings with the universe, i mean, we are objectively a part of it, made of all the same stuff, just awake
I’ll add to this thread in my own way.
Drugs are much like tools (for they are tools). One may use them for good. One may use them for bad. One may specialise in them. One may be inexperienced with them. Workflows can connect well with one person, but be detrimental or impractical for another person. People simply function differently.
Judge not how one makes progress, but if progress has been made.
