Psychiatrist's guide to psychedelics

[Socrates]

 

I was watching this video and was contemplating if consciousness increase through psychedelics was even possible to be seen as some "brain changes" though mainstream science. 

 I haven't found the way to combine science, yoga, consciousness and psychedelics in one precise perspective. 

Should we discard science when talking psychedelics? Do we focus too much on the subjective POV? Is any perspective higher than the other? 

I can argue any of those but I can see that it disregards other perspectives.

What do you guys think about this video in general?

@Leo Gura Do you think a Leo x Dr k talk would be productive for your audience?

I think its an important perspective.

The whole video is one constant gold vein with how informative it is and at 29:30 he talks about how ego death experiences are important for healing.

Part of the reason I was afraid to do psychedelics was because of that loss of control over the 'edit' mode Dr K talks about. I do a lot of other stuff though like Bio Energetics, Reichian Therapy, long walks, etc... and honestly it helps process and feel your emotions more fully. 

Also not trying to do some crazy heroic dose but starting lighter on trips. Do that a few times.
