A wish of Blessing

@Pandora
can you please speak of the surrender. I am a bit too bent on keeping myself intact. not ego-driven defensiveness wise, I want to lose the ugly baggage of unkind culture (as mckenza puts it), but keep myself authentically, myself..

Herein lies the challenge of psychedelics, in terms of the fear that naturally arises as the ego dissolves. Generally speaking, the sense of being an individual self tends to return in a matter of minutes, or hours, like a boomerang that comes back around. However, the liminal space, in between, can be unnerving, in my experience. I suppose that surrender, in this case, entails the acceptance of the individual/authentic self being offline, for a little while, and trusting that it will return, as it tends to do.

mckenza says the being of one's' own is intact, but my "fear" of things are different. I have a sort of funny fault, I chase awareness aggressively. Does it payback? Yes. Is it weird? Also, weird enough.

Who the heck is "mckenza"? Presumably you're referring to (the personality cult of) Terence McKenna?

When does "weird enough" become too weird - also, what is 'weird', exactly?

By truly relinquishing everything the authentic self is all that can remain. Experience in meditation can be considered a most suitable form of preparation for this type of event. Maybe more suitable than the event itself in certain instances.
