I don't like equating things to "because psychedelics" because things like that definitely made me want to try psychedelics when I was younger, and they're definitely NOT for everyone.

Buuuuuuut

Yes I totally agree, I feel like psychedelics force us to deal with our baggage first then our egos and the by product is empathy and understanding mixed with curiosity for the universe and what makes it tick.

It sounds stupid, but one of my most profound psychedelic epiphanies was when I was on mushrooms once and I was in my yard watching squirrels fight. I started crying because over and over in my life I start out fine and happy, then slowly I start to care what people around me think. My friend, coworkers, whatever. Then something usually happens a falling out and I realize people like me better when I don't care what they think and I just do what I like and what I think🤷🏽 I'm happier as a person when I don't use other people's thoughts as a balancing board and I'm m more creative and yeah. And I just started crying because I was like the squirrels are free! They don't have overloads. They don't pay rent or taxes. They run around. They jock on each other. They live free. And the universe is telling me I should live free.
