Despite what I've read of other people's experiences on how psychedelics allow them to see entities, make contact with a Supreme being or undertake some fantastic journey into colourful hidden realms, for me, they've been much less fantastic and far more confronting.
I've come to the conclusion that Psychedelics, and life itself, is a mirror. Everything seems to be a reflection of the Ego, the identity which includes all attachments to ideas.
Whenever I used to prepare for a 'heavy' psychedelic journey, I would shake and shudder and never actually understood why. I knew I was safe and secure, yet something inside of me sensed impending doom.
The more I experienced deep psychedelic states of consciousness, the less and less I felt I actually knew, about anything. I realized in those states, that I never truly see, I never truly hear, I never truly feel - in my normal waking consciousness.
When finally, my sense of 'I' dissolved permanently, I knew what I was so terrified of. Infinity. A complete an utter infinite abyss, which is all inclusive and omnipresent. That which is you, and I, that table and chair over there, the oxygen we breath, and the stars in the sky. Everything. This is our true nature!
Ego is there to create boundaries, to forget that we are One, playing with itself in its own dream. In a way, I understand the need for the ego. But non-duality is something else. This is true existence. Being able to flow effortlessly with the river of consciousness which is our universe is graceful as f*ck. Beautiful. Peaceful.
That's all it takes folks, Accept & Surrender. But don't take my word for it.
Much Love
