Clichés have this issue. They are the fruit of deep introspection by generations, but the end result feels so small that it can be easily ignored.
We are all connected. Love thy neighbor. Consciousness is an illusion. Yadda yadda. Boooring.
We hear them so much that we become numb and don't give them a second thought. Yeah, we are all connected. So what? I have more important things to do. And we do, of course. The rent is due, COVID-19, wars, and so on.
Then, at some point in people's lives, we stop and ask: why? What's the point in all of this? We get so lost in the day to day that it's hard to see the forest from the trees.
Psychedelics give you a different perspective. It's like going for a ride in your inner self. You might come out now just knowing these clichés, but feeling them. This difference is immense [1].
The same can be done via spirituality and meditation, but there are very few (if any) ways to experience these things as intensely and as quickly as with psychedelics. The challenge is applying these insights in your life, otherwise it's just a fun trip.
