Hey my friend @jakeybrown thanks for the support and great comment dude!! Haha yeah that would be cool, I'm sure many different dimensions and perspectives to talk about. Indeed how people can ever become bored living within the greatest sci-fi novel they've never read will eternally bemuse me lol

I think psilocybin evaporates the ego and indeed it's the ego that is the one thing that appears to seperate many of us from our communion with nature. The reset doesn't last because the ego returns and sadly it's the ego of mankind that's destroying the bio-sphere. Perhaps psilocybin gives a tantalising glimpse at the power and indeed the spirit within, the higher self.

Lasting effect? yes great idea and the duration of positive effects from the experience appear to differ from person to person. Equally perhaps it also relates to how actively you try to work on internal issues whilst it's in your system. Equally moving forward we could perhaps liken it to having a broken leg i.e when the leg heels you no longer need the crutch. The experience could perhaps give a new foundation to build upon and utilise within daily life, open up new thought patterns etc. From that perspective yes you're entirely right, non psilocybin induced internal retrospection and meditation is key and this is what I practice. Sadly for the majority they are unable to or don't have time to explore and unravel these emotions and this gradually leads to the build up of issues.

I did have a section written out about how mushrooms could save the world but it didn't fit the narrative so I removed it. But yes the possibilities are mind blowing, like you say fungi has evolved to eat plastic and even radioactice waste. They appear to react to the problems we're casuing and in a strange way they're the caretakers of the world. Lets hope they don't determine we're the problem and fill the world with poisonous spores!! And I only say that as a half joke lol Thanks again my friend.
