I'd agree that it does make everything seem significant, at least for a period, but it's what comes after that has significance, after a period of integration.

I'd agree that it does make everything seem significant, at least for a period, but it's what comes after that has significance, after a period of integration. It creates an ability or a moment to come at a problem from a new angle, previously closed off to a person due to their established thinking patterns and past experiences. I think the important thing to consider here is that if a person goes into these experiences with a goal, it's likely they will gain new insight on that goal, at least from my experiences.
Curious though, what kind of new assumptions do you consider unhealthy?
