^^Yes I totally agree that the world is in a crisis. But I don't think theres anything magical about that in terms of a cure or in terms of the problem.
I will also say yes I agree many people get their beliefs from experience. SWIM came to very similar conclusions about the world and reality many times while taking psychedelic substances. BUT when SWIM looks at his experiences objectively SWIM sees lots of evidence that points out that the interpretations of the experience might be wrong.
Let SWIM bring up a very personal example that happened to SWIM. A few months after one of SWIMs uncles passed away SWIM took some mushrooms. During that trip SWIM spoke to the soul of SWIMs dead uncle (it was a very direct telepathic like communication). Now SWIM can look at this two ways. Either SWIM really did speak to his dead uncle and thus the human soul is real oooooooooor SWIMs mind used the experience as a way of comforting SWIM about the death of SWIMs uncle. You see? The interpretation leads to two very different explanations for what happens on psychedelic drugs.
So I just want to make it clear that SWIM is with you all on the weirdness of whats going on with these substances and SWIM has been way out there. SWIM just has learned that its important to look at all possible interpretations about what is happening on these substances to come to a more complete theory and explanation about what is really going on.
The mind is a powerful thing.
