@iamthemostnormalhumantrustme @lord_nougat @Turkleton I’m certainly grateful for the mind-bending far out adventures I had when I was young and foolish; if not for them it’s entirely likely I’d have been a normie. More “successful” perhaps at worldly attainments; but honestly I don’t really even know that. I can attest it makes it a lot easier to understand spirit - not merely in some distant, lofty philosophical sense, so much as a living tangible participant in day-to-day outcomes.
As it’s something so tremendously personal, I’m not at all qualified to recommend any such pursuits to anyone; but in my case it had a valuable time and place.
