Why I Use Psychedelics as a Tool for Self-Realization

> They can introduce you to God, bridging for a time the seemingly unbridgeable gap between the human and divine spheres of existence.

Well, they can give you an experience where you think you've met God. Any relationship to a God who actually exists in reality is purely coincidental.

> Perhaps more importantly, they can help you get to know yourself. Your real self, defenses down, moat drained, drawbridge lowered. Because they encourage such ruthless honesty, these molecules are ideal mirrors for the art of self-reflection.

They can show you the truth about yourself. Or they can show you a lie so vividly that you believe it.

Psychedelics as a way to find truth is a sucker's game.

Someone once said to me: "I don't smoke weed to enhance my trip. I trip to enhance my weed."
