Suffering and happiness are always temporary nothing will ever change that. I think most people who voted that psychedelics changed their life, not in the way you think. I think it's more like the consciousness change was so drastic that it opened their mind more/opened a new reality/new possebilities. Thanks to these psychedelic events it definitally changed my life around, and my base consciousness increased to new levels i would never imagined (gained some siddhis).  But you think in the terms of happiness/sadness still , psychedelics won't change that in the long term.

That's not proof.

Great to hear.

Absolutely. I was 19 and too certain. It rocked me, and 8 years later it still does.

Yes, because it recontextualizes everything. Before psychedelics, I have no idea what life is. After psychedelics, I don't have one clue, what life is. 😜

Psychedelics actually show you the answer about life, which is radical but you eventually stabilize to it.

Love at first trip. But one trip is not enough for lasting change.  Like how you can’t just go to one piano lesson and then show’s over.

Well the point is to remember/realize and Know Thyself, and what you rediscover (during the state) is now your responsibility to apply into day to day life while sober, this then becomes the permanent change. But yes most people will struggle to integrate so well so they go back for more and more.

As long as there is a natural growth and progression and a healthy balance in it all, it don't see an issue, its only when it becomes now this 'habit or excuse or permission slip' to be your true self because deep down you have 'beliefs' that don't think its possible to be your fullest self without it.

If you can truly remember how you were as a child, you'd realize hey I never needed drugs back then to be in that state, but most of us become very traumatized and forget or even how, and that is where the shamans and medicines and such come into play, however they never do anything but only activate whats already there and temporarily disable the armour and trauma-loops we unconsciously hold onto.

Then there is also diet, environment and lifestyle that comes into play, thus most people aren't truly healthy and living in ideal conditions to be their fullest self, so resort more towards medicine for support, but eventually even the medicine needs to be dropped and instead realize yourself as the medicine.

If we all ate fresh fruit from the trees, lived in harmony with nature, and lived a life we truly loved to live, and total freedom to be ourselves, the need of substance or support or medicines dissolves entirely.

That's true sobriety, and most people are not truly sober, even when they aren't on substances, because our modern foods, water, environment, lifestyles behave as "drugs" to our nervous systems, so we are not ever truly sober until we live in the way i described and lived myself and the high you experience from that is far richer and more whole than any substance can ever provide. Its exactly the state you were in as a child.

And this is what Enlightenment is, when that state finally becomes stabilized into your very being and day to day life.
