I remember talking about this on the mailing list. The experience is not unique to the user, and that is its power; you are tapping-in not creating it. We discover reality, not choose aspects of it to focus on while ignoring others, because all is connected. Psychedelia is transcendental and esoteric.

QuoteObservational data indicates that experienced users tend to score unusually high in openness and low in neuroticism. In some populations, such as groups that use ayahuasca in traditional religious ceremonies, individuals also exhibit higher levels of agreeableness and self-transcendence. Self-transcendence is a psychological concept related to feeling connected to the wider universe, spiritual acceptance, and a sense of unity with nature.

QuoteA recent small study analyzes how the psychedelic drug LSD reshapes brain activity. The research shows that the substance boosts widespread neural synchronization while blurring the boundaries between sensory perception and abstract thought. Through computer modeling and brain scans, researchers found that LSD alters the balance of excitement and inhibition in specific brain circuits, potentially pulling the mind out of entrenched patterns.
