RE: The Dark Side of Pyschedelics
Another very thought provoking post @maceytomlin. I've heard of Ayahuasca, mainly through Jeff Berwick, and found it conceptually fascinating although I have never been involved with it.
Your time in the jungle must have awarded you with some amazing perspectives. How is it that you were able to explore these opportunities? It's not something that is easy to weave into any practical lifestyle.
I can certainly understand how the use of psychedelics needs to be treated with respect. I wonder whether, in a way, real life can be used to understand the psychedelic world more in the same way that the latter is usually exploited to understand the former.
If you had to sum up your Ayahuasca experience in a few words, how would you do so?
Thanks for the wonderful post!
I would sum my experience with the phrase
Back to the body
By remembering the body, we remember mortality
Mortality reminds us of time
Time always ticking
The only time is now
Experience it or just pass through
Your choice.
So poignant. Very well put.
