Hi greyberg,

a warm welcome to the forums! interesting essay. I like how you start out in the third person but then the narrator and the character somehow merge and well, there you are.

so from your psychedelic experiences you say you believe they connect you to the greater universe, the divine, and help us attain higher consciousness --- what do these things mean to you? What does a connection to the cosmos do, why is it important, what is the point? What is higher consciousness, or what is consciousness in general to you and why do you want it to become higher?

I'm asking because on first glance I would say I agree with what you wrote, but it's not clear to me what, for you, the background is behind all of these things. I have my own theories and reasons for seeking out connectedness and evolution of consciousness - if you tell me yours, maybe I'll tell you mine

Also about contributing - I think every entity in this forum can contribute a great deal to the community by their conduct and the support they offer to one another. Sometimes it's less about the insights but more about creating a space where the experiences can exist without the perturbation of judgement, stigma or secrecy. Communication and conduct in this sense are very great contributions, and we are happy for every member we get that intuitively and or consciously understands this.

much love

Enoon
