I read a little bit of it. I find it interesting that ketamine is an antidepressant. When I was younger in my twenties we used to do ketamine in its form called special k. Sometimes we do so much of it would end up in something called a k hole where all you would end up doing is a standing there are sitting there for about a half hour completely comatose then vulnerable to anyone that walked up and robbed you or raped you or anything. None of that happened to me but it did happen to a friend of mine which I find disgusting. So are the doses of ketamine pretty light or are they heroic?
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.
