What is it that im trying to touch,

why do i want to do it in the first place,

what part of regular, sober reality, is it that is not enough?

Perhaps there is something very human about always wanting more,

somewhere else, different,

i guess psychedelics speaks to that side of us,

it offers us something a little different,

it gives us a new perspective, one that we couldnt acess by ourselfs,

isnt that very often the case that the really profound experiences we have behind the mask is just a slight shift of perspective?

and perhaps the best way to obtain a new perspective is the really ground shaking experiences

like having somebody pass away or breaking up with your long term partner, losing your job,

they are violent experiences that hurt,

but if they hurt enough or affect us enough they might induce this slight perspective change,

which in itself can completelty alter the course of our life.

So should we then go seeking these experiences?

These experiences are a biproduct of living an engaging life,

one where we are not afraid of experiences because they might hurt us

where we live each day with the sense of giving ourselfs to the world, saying “yes im here, give me all you got, im ready.”

because we realize that in fact there is nothing that can hurt us, even the deepest heart breaks,

we are so much more than the breaking of our heart, we rise above and beyond that,

when we live life holding this belief, everything becomes defetable, handable, and there is so much more joy to be found in everything,

you can laugh at everything, because you know it couldnt possibly bring you down.
