This is War - Psychedelics

[Unbound]

Drugs are a window, not a door, I know that much. They can crack open the experience to higher states, but I believe it is the cultivation thereof in day-to-day life that really garners the fruits of psychedelic experience. Without context the experiences are all but dreams and indeed in the Buddhist view that is all they are. Of course, in many cultures dreams are certainly considered significant. I, regardless, generally treat my psychedelic experiences as being like a dream. Some might think this means I view them as unreal, but this is not so considering I believe all of perception is a type of dreaming.

Call it a gateway or a route to a higher experience or whatever you want, I think they are mirrors and each mirror reflects different aspects and levels of the infinite self back to itself. So, the best advice I can think of to give anyone before a psychedelic journey is - be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
