Awesome trip report man.
The way you set your intention prior to the trip and how you prepare with tailored playlists really shows the level of discipline and dedication you put towards your psychedelic healing journey.
I appreciate as well your level of introspection both during and after the trip, as this really exemplifies just how powerful of a journey this is that you've embarked on, and it also takes a great deal of courage because you're taking doses of shrooms that most people just wouldn't be able to handle without some experience with lower doses first.
Psychedelic experiences are all in your head, and people that have never experienced them are quick to dismiss them.
Not only dismiss them, demonize them. I find it kind of ironic that the strict religions you speak of demonize this type of spiritual healing the most but yet preach on a concept of the practice of religion connecting one with a higher power... It's almost hypocritical in a sense to demonize mushrooms this way, especially when all one needs to do to experience this connectedness is just take the shrooms, no membership/label/ programmed belief system necessary. Fear is what holds most back from judging without being willing to give it a try.. They'd hate to have the shrooms tell them they're wrong about their beliefs lol.
You have a way with words when it comes to these trip reports and I always find myself excited to read your latest experience. I'm looking forward to see how far you go with the shrooms and what other types of healing medicinal compounds you try in the future as well.
