Is Psychedelic Use Just Practicing Death?

[Butters]

Excuse my ignorance because I'm not a psyhonaut and I've only tripped a handful of times, but are psychedelics just a way to feel what death is like? Or is it "more" than that? What "more" could it be? I've felt the come-up of a trip, and the most intense one was on an unknown substance and it was death, and death was fantastic.

Yeah, as you've noticed, they can open your awareness to what could be considered an afterlife realm. And the more powerful psychedelics, such as 5-MeO-DMT, can take you even beyond that. I suppose the "more" you're asking about would be the revelation of your existence as Consciousness, the source of all things.

For me, psychedelics on the level of DMT and mushrooms function as a profoundly strong form of psychological therapy. They offer wave after wave of emotional catharsis, along with metaphysical understandings commensurate with the level of reality being tapped into. They're incredible tools, but they may not necessarily make lasting changes in the way you're hoping, assuming you're aiming for something like Awakening and Enlightenment.

5-MeO-DMT is quite a bit more powerful in that regard. Its use can cause a type of energetic purification which is normally reserved for very advanced states of meditation. A portal can be opened right to the heart of Being. If your goal is the type of achievements described in the wisdom traditions of the world, it certainly fits the bill as a powerful accelerant to move you in that direction.

You'll never feel quite as dead while being quite as alive 😁 The old ego is dead. Long live the new ego!

They are an Easter egg. Let’s ask everyone who has died though to confirm? I’ll see you at the graveyard and we can ask there  death is the ultimate acceptance of the unknown. The event horizon.

I will take advantage of the fact that you will soon be on a short trip to nibble on some 4 HO MET.

My demon friends are waiting for me at the carnival of lust .
