I just had a trip at last rainbow (thanks for the helpful sugar suggestion) that was educational. I learned about my implicit bias from a very smart young lady with a lot of education in psychology. I was in a state that was more open to learn and feel. I was ready to deal with learning about my self right then. Now I am not under the influence and I remembered what it was I need to learn. The person I spoke to has since sent me a syllabus of scientific studies, poetry and videos to watch. I am doing it, it is a little hard, it hurts a little, it feels worth it, I need to change the way I see the world. What I am saying is
Consider taking the drugs (ymmv)
Take them to start the trip then, when the drugs go away, don't stop learning.
The drugs are the chemistry lab, now go home and do the homework.
Exactly, this is how I feel that psychedelics can be used in a helpful & healing way, as tools that you use as part of a bigger process, instead of expecting the chemical to do everything for us.
I love it!
