Made the same argument to friends claiming they were doing some kind of “healing journey”. Like if that really worked, then everyone who did those journeys would be far more enlightened than other people. But it’s so obviously not the case.
Contrast that with someone who, for example, played professional tennis for a couple years. If you got on the court with them, they’d be damn good at tennis! That’s a real thing! The results are obvious.
Full disclosure, I’ve tripped many times, had some interesting experiences, but by no means am I enlightened from it.
