---- stop bullshiting, psychedelics aren't magic neither the solution to human race problem ---- (and don't take drugs)
I was like you even before taking psychedelics, in order to increase my pre-passion for the stuff lol. Reading psychedelics masters, Mc Kenna, Leary, idea, and stuff, social construct herited from psychedelic culture, reading every bits of informations about substances. Idealizing all the jazz at then end.
Not too close to the beginning of my psyche journey, I had my best trip. It consisted actually of the erasing of ALL question/mindfuck/anxieties as if the simple response is that it was useless, and an EPIC moment of instant present followed for HOURS. I was like an animal. Born a second time. My feelings was like... Divine.
It didn't came from a stereotypical massive realization, but more from a discret "but why" moment, then a moment of clarity.
There is no other essence in the present moment than itself.
Is this nihilism ? Is this too extreme deconstruction of things ? Is this thinking profitable to humanity/society ? I bet not. It was, at least, really enjoyable.
Imo psychedelics are fucking great substance (at the very least the funnier way to be fucked up) and I don't negate the "connecting to yourself" aspect.
But, too, people feel too indebted to psyche : they are consequently making too much from them. From the sensation itself, from the feeling that "something/someone" gave to them the possibility to experiment that. The things that psyche make you learn at the core isn't about making a new excited epileptic new age society trying to not feeling guilty about the fact they just took a drug.
