Improving one's mental faculties

[Demeter]

Has anyone experienced an enhancement of their mental faculties, such as memory, through the use of memory or psychedelics?  

The flow of one's kundalini is supposed to awaken dormant parts of the brain and, just as psychedelics do, connect parts of the brain which were not previously communicating with one another. This leads to greater insights, creativity etc. I have also read accounts of people who during their Ayahuasca experiences requested to be bestowed with healing abilities which, with persistence, came to fruition.

Would like to hear from anyone who thinks their intelligence has been enhanced in terms of everyday problem solving or in their work or studies due to the above.

I have experienced several changes so far and all without psychedelics.

The "positive" changes:

• More creativity.
• More intuition.
• Heightened awareness.
• More clarity.
• More presence.
• More peace of mind.
• More feeling of emotions and all other sensations (×10 or ×20 times).
• More relaxed thought processing, i.e. less neurosis.
• Meditative resting awareness, i.e. passive contemplation.
• Potential for healing abilities.
• Potential for clairvoyance.
• Ability to detach and enter nirvana.
• Can't recall more at the moment.

The "negative" changes:

• Faint memory, depending on the subject.
• Loss of interest in almost everything. Therefore, loss of the ability to memorize things.
• Slow thought processing.
• More feeling of negative emotions and sensations, which means immense physical pain and psychological suffering. Hot is extremely hot, and cold is extremely cold.
• Over-uniqueness. I can't relate to people the same way I used to.
• Restlessness. I can't keep my attention for too long, and I used to be able to concentrate for hours easily.
• Mind all over the place. I do things in portions now. I don't read a long post on the first sight. I first assess the length and the depth, and then I read in portions in sync with other things. No multi-tasking though. Just multiple threads.
• Lack of purpose, drive, and direction.
• I don't know what else.
