Hello Nexus,
Psychedelics have been a catalyst for insight in my experience. Most of my experiences are with LSD/psilocybin/mescaline and one aya journey. For the past 3 years I been surrounded by DMT in one way or another, but I have yet to fulfill the call DMT is causing to arise in me. I've ingested it, but never a break through dose.

Vipassana and other similar meditations have been my primary source of insight and to be honest have pretty much dissolved my interest in entering a state just to have a mystical peak experience. I know there are much more to these states than just peak experiences, but the lasting realizations where sparing (though powerful when they did occur) while fleeting, awe inducing states/insights were my primary experience. This is most likely due to my setting and intention at the time, but that is how my mind has been conditioned. The call is still here though and I am thinking about finally answering. I would like to know what lasting realizations or benefits have been integrated into your daily life as a result of your journeys?
