In our conversations around the campfire about what plant-based (dmt psychedelics) medicine healing is i notice he was very defensive of the practice and would not entertain anything other than absolute seriousness regarding his field of work. i tend to think it's all snake oil salesman bullshit. to be honest i don't really believe in any type of self-help or psychiatric help. what say you chaps and chapettes?

Definitely light. Medicinal effects for most psychedelics occur well before ego death and loss of control.

Ego death. That's an interesting term. I didn't realize there was a clinical term for totally wasted. I was reading up on what ego death meant and I didn't realize it was a thing for people to aspire to. And to someone's point in the definitions one of the graces of meditation is trying to achieve that and or achieving that. I have taken ketamine at lower levels and I've had good experiences. I'm not going to lie I don't remember really any of it, it was so long ago. I don't really have a desire to indulge those cravings anymore the ones I had when I was younger. Drugs of course for me, just like I'm sure lots of people were away to escape from a challenging upbringing. But I think once I found other avenues of relief for my mind and motivation I walked away. I am curious about the Reformation of the brain. I'll read more into what you've sent me. I wonder if meditation could unlock that as well? And I don't mean the cutesy putsy mindfulness stuff but honest to God work. I do think you had talked about unblocking certain characteristics and traits in oneself by using psychedelics and I still do wonder if meditation could grab that too although once again full circle is there enough time in one's life to achieve those results, that's the big question.

I have a similar outlook on them. My time for endulging in them has passed. I'm sure meditation would be able to achieve similar results. The mind is very adaptable. They're always enough time, as long as you start. If you don't start then there will never be enough time.

Yeah I hear you. if you never start there's never enough time, it's very true. I waste an ungodly amount of time whether it's at a bad job or no job or idleness in semi-retirement. I do a lot of reading and sitting around and pondering, LOL. I'm sitting around in beautiful places at least. I would love to achieve other beautiful places as well but the work to get to them seems to be more than I really want to deal with. Anyway that's me being bothered by my own sloth and a tangential rant.
