I don't think you should assume what you experienced is the same thing that the author experienced. I have had both good and bad trips, ones that are like you described that lead me to imagine a world of possibilities after the trip and other ones that left me depersonalized. They definitely were not the same effect.
- mtalantikite 2y agoI do think it has a lot to do with the framework you enter with and how you understand what's happening, which I think is what OP was getting at. My most profound experience was a full depersonalization, which I never even began to consider was a bad thing at all, but maybe for someone else would be filled with panic and anxiety. So it's all dependent on your view, which is probably why Buddhism puts 'right view' (samyak-drishti) as the first of the eight-fold path (although I don't think the ordering really matters, it's just convention).
