The idea of mummifying oneself seems quite specific, especially if they ritualized it and had some cocktail of botanicals they ingested to facilitate the process. Is there a name for this 3rd century Chinese Buddhist monastic culture and practice?

I did an ayahuasca ceremony during a rut I had a few years back. I didn't see the face of God or anything. But I got a clear insight that all I really wanted to do was teach and write, and that my coding work was ideally in service of those first two goals. I definitely attribute the rut-breaking to this.
If it helps give context, I also have ADHD, and it plays a big role in my routines, productivity practices, and how I maintain my mental health. I am also religious about sleep, meditation, diet, exercise, and waking early (all of which help manage the ADHD). So, as others have pointed out, one should make sure those boxes are checked before experimenting with sources of epiphany.
