What's important to know is that mushrooms/weed/medicines let you relax below your mind, so you can take a break from the terror of the mind.
Real healing cannot happen in this state. Real healing happens afterwards, once you are beyond the mind. This obviously can only happen from within, not from something externally.
If one is open, especially psychedelics can be a good door opener and open gates that could have stayed shut for a long time.
Agree with the general statement though. Even if the door is open, one has to go through it themselves.
Traditional tribes use(d) it because it was relevant for them in their context, as a medicine/tool and never as a solution.
100%—the substance isn't the destination, it's just a shitty map with half the continents missing. all it does is show you *there's* somewhere else to go; your own legs still make the walk.
tin-foil bonus: once you grok there's a door, you notice alice never needed the bottle saying "drink me."
Seems healthy 😅
