experience an extremely honest perception of your own mind.
Is it though? Does walking into the fun-house mirror room really produce an accurate reflection of who you are?
An altered perspective accompanied by an intense emotional experience doesn't necessarily indicate any real truth was uncovered.
You can have some quite profound experiences on 3-5 day water/electrolyte fasts as well. When the body is stripped of the energy necessary to maintain psychological defense mechanisms and cognitive habits, they peel away quite well there too. Highly recommended for the time-sensitive and impatient spiritual journeyman.
- orthecreedence 4y agoIt seems you're badmouthing psychadelics, while advocating for achieving the same effects without the use of drugs. Why does it matter if someone has a similar experience with a different method? Also, not everyone can just hop into the woods, alone, for days on end without food. Although that sounds like fun to me, I get horrible migraines if I don't eat regularly. What then? Is vomiting up my last bit of bile huddled in excruciating pain in the middle of the woods going to be some profound experience? Possibly, but psychadelics are an easier method for someone like me (and can be just as natural, in the case of mushrooms/ayahuasca/mescaline/etc).
