Could you attempt to connect the dots for me my good sir? What is behind the distinction "Past-life" or a direct previous incarnation that separates that from all the other lives in reality?

Thats such a beautiful picture. Its like they are saying "I love you" to anyone who is looking at them lol. @OP I would reccomend you watch Hamiltons Pharmacopeia episode on Peyote

Fear is just a label of an emotional energy. If fear comes up during a psychedelic, don't label it as "fear" and as "bad". Let the emotional energy be as it is and it will pass, just like the feeling of euphoria on it will pass, if you resist the emotion because you label it as "fear" and think "I shouldnt be afraid" then it is going to stick and become a bigger issue. These are medicines that give you growth, if fear is needed for you to grow then it will give you fear, you have to surrender to the present moment.

Seems like a positive to me. The "hallucinations" on shrooms are no less real than the hallucination of life itself. I had a mushroom experience last week and thats the message the shrooms gave me. You always have been in a non-physical existence. Your anxiety is the problem, just accept it for what it is and think of it as a superpower the ancient medicine gave you.

I tried the shamanic breathing yesterday too. I think watching some of Leos videos, specifically "The Radical Implications of Oneness" will help. As well as other videos on Non-Duality. And the video on "Does free-will exist?", and "Life is a Dream" Realizing there is no such thing as sanity/insanity, that is a duality that only exists in a relative sense not in an absolute sense. So you can transcend this fear of thinking you've "gone insane". Psychedelics also show you this. You are mindful of identifying your thoughts, but your thought of "an experience within an experience" is still a thought, so all those layers are basically the same thing coming from the mind, but when you practice meditation the goal it to just tap into "pure direct experience" You probably have expanded your consciousness so now you need to be at peace with your new sense of reality, because maybe your old way of thinking about what reality is has been shifted due to this experience. Reality is all imagination anyway, once you become conscious and see how reality is no different from a dream you won't be so worried about losing sense of "reality". You can just feel your emotions not being afraid and go with the flow of life doing what you love.

First thing that pops in my head are people of foreign countries (outside of US where I am) or not of mainstream US culture that facilitate the healing process in people guiding them through a psychedelic journey. But when I think deeper I think of any conscious person who has respect for a certain plant medicine that knows how guide someone else through their journey so they can get the best results.

I always think about this question. You trip on a psychedelic/entheogen and encounter entities, do they actually exist in a different dimension than we do? Or is it a projection of your unconscious mind? Like the different entities people encounter on DMT Im not questioning the significance of them being real or not, either way I think the experience is equal in value no matter what the answer to this question is. I see a lot of talk from experienced users on forums/the internet in general about different entheogens having different spirits. For example: mescaline having a spirit (warm loving father-masculine in nature), mushrooms (stern but loving mother) ayahuasca (described as "mother ayahuasca" feminine in nature) and salvia having an unforgiving spirit that can kick your ass and send you into a dysphoria Are these different aspects of your own psyche or other conscious beings in different planes of existence? I guess it all breaks down to every form of consciousness ultimately being one in the same anyway so im not even sure if this question makes any sense. Thoughts?

Are you tripping on acid or is acid tripping on you?

@Serotoninluv Thats a great write up, appreciate the input. How do you handle frequently doing psychedelics like that? Have you ever had any anxiety involved going into the experiences?

I guess I would think of myself as an "entity" and a plant spirit as another entity, and the molecule being something that can connect our frequencies. The criteria for the spirit existing would be if I had never taken the drug is it still somewhere out there doing its thing independently of me, or does it only come into existence in my own mind when the molecule is in my body?

There can't be non-suffering without the existence of suffering. Without suffering what would it mean not to suffer? There has to be a contrast.

Ones that you practically apply in everyday life. The main ones that have helped me so far: -Instead of judging others when they do something you perceive as negative, look for where you are displaying that same trait in your own life and work on that. -Don't be consumed with what people think about you because if you try to become a people pleaser you are playing a losing game that you ultimately can't control, instead remind yourself your own approval is all you need to be content with yourself. I have been surprised how much these have helped me get rid of anxiety and overthinking. Also: -thinking about implications of oneness and treating others as yourself in a different life, trying to understand every action is a product of love but on different levels of consciousness -Trying to find kernels of truth from points of view you don't necessarily agree with

The first time I smoked weed and it "really hit me" I got so high that to this day have never been able to get to that level. I nearly lost my vision at first, and I felt such a deep feeling of spirituality, I would say that experience changed my life more than anything else. I got higher then than my 2.7g mushroom trip and it triggered a chain of events that led me to question everything I know about reality and break my mind free from the cult-religion I grew up in.
