How meditation and psychedelics kill your sense of self.

I stumbled upon the following YouTube video.

 

I took note of the video. Below is the summary of the video.

• Babies form neural connections in various ways.
• As a person becomes as old as 12 years old, the person's neuronal activation patterns are stuck in brain's default mode network(DMN).
• Default mode network is responsible for thinking about the self, evaluations, the past, the future, and so on.
• Psilocybin deactivates default mode network(DMN) to a degree.
• Meditation has similar effects to psilocybin.
• While DMN is suppressed, you lose sense of self, and your brain starts forming new connections toward various other areas of your brain to compensate for suppression of DMN.
• In a sense, psilocybin lets you access subconscious parts of your brain.
• This is why you have trips when you are on psychedelics.
• The new perspectives and insights you gain from trips last for about 1 year.
• Psychedelics are not addictive, but they cure addictions.
• LSD and psilocybin cure soft addictions to alcohol, lighter drugs, marijuana, and nicotine. DMT cures hard addictions to heroin and cocaine.
• One administration of psychedelics can suppress depression for about 6 months.
• Psychedelics are not harmful to brain and have good effects on depression, ADHD, OCD, and autism.
• Anti-depressants sold by pharmaceutial industry are harmful to brain and do not suppress depression nearly as well as psychedelics.
• ADHD drugs sold by pharmaceutical industry are harmful to children's mental growth.
• Pharmaceutical industry made psychedelics illegal to sell anti-depressants and ADHD cures and various other drugs at artifically inflated prices.
• One in 5 people can have a bad trip with panic attacks and paranoia and so on for 4 or 5 hours.
• The bad effects are only bad for 4~5 hours, and you can't put a value on the amount of things you learn about yourself, the world, others, and time and space you live in.
• One in 3 people reported that psilocybin was the single most spiritually significant event of their life.
• Two in 3 people reported that it was in the top 5 of all significant experiences.
• Psilocybin was almost as significant as child birth and death of a family member.

It seems strong psychedelics are better than weak psychedelics at killing ego and treating addiction and various mental issues.

Pharmaceuticals are harmful to brain and far less effective than psychedelics while psychedelics are harmless to brain and far more effective. That's why pharmaceutical industry made psychedelics illegal.

Meditation seems to be a weak form of psychedelics. That's probably why it takes longer to awaken with meditation than with psychedelics.

Your demon(your ego) lives in default mode network. By meditating and taking psychedelics, your brain's DMN is suppressed, and your brain forms new connections in various places. This is pretty close to death of default mode network which is literally you.

The following video shows what enlightenment looks like.

They aren't a cure-all, but their potential has been waaaay underinvestigated by modern methods. 

And Leo looks like a Zen devil alien in that picture.
