Many people who who die and come back, from something like cardiac arrest, often report that they go through every experience, every memory that they’ve had in their entire life — not as a flash but as a sequence of everything that’s ever happened in their life and they remember it 

so I do think there’s something to memory even if you don’t remember all of it in the living life

I hear psychedelics do something similar and why they are so effective helping terminally ill people cope with the impending inevitable. 

It’s what makes me so curious and want to try them. I’m also an overthinking chicken so haven’t

It’s scary when you’ve been told as a child that it will fry your brain and all that—I was told a lot of those stories as a child—but I can very much credit deciding to do them/doing them with growing/opening my mind

growing in many ways but one of them being more open to things I normally would’ve absolutely said ‘no’ to, or have some kinda disdain for initially

I also had wayyyyyyy more of an ego before (if you think my ego is bad now 🥲🤣)

Had a bad experience in college. I’ve played with micro dosing but I’m scared 😂

Psychedelics are one of the greatest things we’ve ever discovered

no kings. only working on impossible things.

oh right! i forgot they made a series.

what aspect(s) about it scare you? 

it's a completely understandable fear to me — i've been working up the nerve to hero dose to shed old skin, but i'm a little afraid that the person i'll be on the other side is not the person i can vaguely see from here.

which, like... of course not. to some degree, that's the point. 

but, more likely, it'll temporarily show me someone that i COULD be, and then it'll still be on me to do the hard work of becoming that person in a durable way.

I watched the Netflix series twice. I believe! I’m just scared

i've been working my way through How To Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan. 

he's a food journalist that got interested and wrote a book on his research. even if you never take the journey, i've learned a lot from his accounts of others' experiences. highly recommend!
