The instrumentalization of psychedelics

The hippie generation lacked balance in dealing with psychedelics in the way that many were under the impression that you only had to take LSD often enough to see through everything and experience lasting enlightenment. Like all substances, psychedelics also have an end of effect. It is true that something can be opened up and triggered as the basis for a lasting change during the effect. However, temporary mystical experiences through psychedelics do not consolidate one as a master of mysticism. What is more decisive is the daily, sober willingness to expose one’s own shadow. Only those who have strong...

Why mental illnesses are not mental illnesses – a neuroceptive perspective

Admittedly, the title is striking. Of course, emotional suffering is a mental problem and has processes in the brain. However, it will be difficult to claim that someone suffering from depression due to thyroid dysfunction has a mental illness. Once the thyroid dysfunction is corrected, the depression also disappears. The reason for the suffering was in the body and was corrected there. This principle applies not only in the case of thyroid dysfunction, but to most mental ailments. The health insurance system has two offers for people suffering from so-called mental disorders: psychoactive substances for symptom suppression and talk therapy,...

Why neither non-duality nor classical talk therapy can heal developmental trauma

Non-duality is a term for the ONE. You as the one absoluteness of the self. Perfection in which everything is allowed. Developmental trauma is attachment trauma. It is the result of a failed connection attempt of an individualization-dissociation of the One with a reference being. One who is in samadhi does not have this problem, but who is permanently? Therefore, to heal an attachment trauma, a second or other is needed as a caregiver. Developmental trauma is the condition of a mammal that cannot feel safe in the world. To learn to feel safe, it needs at least one other...

Elements of the DMT experience in The OA (Pt. II)

This text contains spoilers. It assumes both the reception of the series and knowledge of a terminology related to the DMT experience. N,N-Dimethyltryptamine is an endegenous molecule which, when supplied exogenously, immediately produces deep visionary states and has enormous therapeutic potential, especially in combination with MAO inhibitors. The Netflix series “The OA” impresses with a complex multiverse story which does not appear to be artificial despite its mystical touch. The series takes place mainly in the everyday world, but structures its plot by excursions into other states of consciousness and creates a synthesis of common reality and mystery. The dreamlike...

The medicalisation of psychedelics

Love was never meant to be contained. Adyashanti   Due to proven therapeutic success psychedelics are perceived by an increasing public perception in a new light that shines through the discrediting propaganda fog of the last decades. MAPS played a big role in this by freeing war veterans from PTSD (with the help of MDMA) and taking away the end-of-life anxiety of dying people (psilocybin). As long as the medical way is used as a trojan horse to change misconceptions about these substances and to change their public position for the better, it is a clever and meaningful approach. However,...

Is 5-MeO-DMT suitable for everyone? What distinguishes 5-Meo-DMT from other psychedelic substances? Is 5-MeO-DMT a magic pill? Is only a full release experience a successful 5-MeO-DMT experience? Why is 5-MeO-DMT...
