Welcome Abrazaderas!

Interesting thread you've started here; I see little wrong with mutual amusement.

You have described drugs and nysticism as the progeny of something meaningful; if that is so then who/what are the ancestors?

Im not that up on mysticism but I partially agree with you regarding credibility and drugs-that is if we define credibility as meaning worthy of trust.The psychedlic headspace, IMO, needs sieving to grasp the bits which may be credible from the 'chaff' that isnt.And I think this varies between different people who partake.

Regarding the view from the mountain-top, some will achieve a sense of awe (however fleeting) whilst others may simply realise their head for heights is not as they thought.And indeed some will end up like Sisyphus, rolling the boulder up the ascent, only to watch it fall from their grasp meaning the whole process gets repeated with nothing achieved but weariness.

Once more, welcome.
