If psychedelics have taught me anything, it’s that there are no shortcuts. It can be a tool and act as a mirror for your psyche, but you still have to go to work and make the gains for change to occur. I don’t believe it cures depression, but it may make it easier to mentally deal with it or have acceptance for it.You still have to incorporate the knowledge you can see in those moments. I almost think because of this, it can be somewhat paralyzing. Because you become acutely aware of your flaws and the flaws of the world as well as your place within it - it becomes a bit of a black pill because at times it all seems rather insurmountable. And if we’re being honest I never just see someone do one ayahuasca ceremony and go about their way really, people tend to seek and seek through that shit without ever putting in the work in the real world.
That's interesting. So if it really helps you figure out what you need to work out by stripping away a lot of BS. I wonder if a good month long solitudinal meditation couldn't take you to the same place. I don't mean that jewy mindfulness crap that's just cutesy putsy shit.
