    @Johnny5 it's actually very simple. How much do you want to know. Do you want to know or not?

    How big is the burning desire inside?

    If you try, you might be totally wrong. However, you will die. Same as for everyone who also might be wrong or right, and at least you have lived a life where you feel you don't regret.

    Go for it  (no joke). Make it a good one. ?

    @Darodos The mechanism of "delusion" is active in anything. The radical nature of psychedelic experiences happens to be extremely fertile ground where almost anything is prone to being hijacked by that mechanism and take on a life of its own.

    There's not much you can do until you figure out what's true and what's not, and the only tool at your disposal for that, psychedelics or no psychedelics, is brutally honest scrutiny.

    Psychedelics don't give you that. Their proper place is as with everything else, subordinate to honest scrutiny. Everything else comes after.

    for example, can a piece of marble become aware of its nature?

    What I mean is, maybe your true nature has nothing to do with any rocks :) 

    We start off from the reality as it seems to exist, but that is exactly what needs to be questioned.

    So before you start wondering about rocks, maybe first start wondering about reality? How do you even know that rocks are real?

    Someone puts it like this: Don't answer your questions, but question your answers...

    I have repatedly experienced that when I take it, and other people are around, they also get affected. Like they being in a conversation before, then I take the nitrous oxide, and they lose completely track of their conversation, forgetting what they were talking about etc.

    I've had that many times without any chemicals. Your presence can disrupt other people's minds.

    Again, it's at the level of energy. If mind is the smoke, energy is the fire, and presence is the love.

    Yes! Inevitably. Also your own body language. There seems to be a shared energy and it affects people whether or not you/they are aware of it. Even on the forum.

    In the same way your loving the present moment can "heal" not only your own "trauma" but someone else's too.

    And for the same reason, it can be unsettling for some people, because it is simultaneously threatening to the energy of ego.
