The Power of a Psychedelic Experience

I believe we are all manifestations of our past. Our first experience is the seed from which the rest of our life grows. Every decision is made with the past whispering in our ear, leading us down a path to an unknown destination. Like streams carving rivers into mountains, the water flows along the path with the least resistance.

And those decisions become the foundations from which we create our concept of reality. Our ego, relationships, and lifestyle all built upon our past.
And that’s what makes it so hard to change. Can we make different decisions? Do we have free will? I want to say yes, but in reality, I think the chances are low.

And that’s the power of a Psychedelic Experience.

For a few hours, it allows you to erase the grooves and experience life raw. Without the baggage of your past, you realise you are free to make any decision you want.

Now, if everything else around you stays the same, then before too long life buffers you back along the same path.

But if you integrate your experiences by making positive lifestyle changes before reality can solidify around you, then you can create a new path down the mountain in a direction that you’ve chosen.
