How to Respond to Psychedelics

A lot of I've talked about psychedelics a bunch on, on this podcast. But how do you, how would you respond to that? Where it's like, Oh, you know, I can't relate because I'm never going to do psychedelics. "I think those things, if we're sensitive enough to it, they can come about in many different can come by meditation, etc," he says.

Was that was that a psychedelic experience or that you were just, I haven't had similar. I

to. Yeah, I'll talk. What's you? What's it will come up later? Do you think though? Because I think a lot of I've talked about psychedelics a bunch on, on this podcast. I've only had one psychedelic journey. I think a lot of listeners are like, I refuse to do psychedelics. And so I think they're gonna, they're gonna dismiss what we're gonna say. Not dismiss, but they're gonna view it as completely unrelatable because they won't walk into through that door. And I'm I definitely, I'm not a pro against it. Just it's something I did that was very impactful. But how do you, how would you respond to that? Where it's like, Oh, you know, I can't relate because I'm never going to do psychedelics. I think I might never see that.
Speaker 1
I've had glimpses of those kind of experiences in other settings. So I think that psychedelics is like one of the most obvious ways to bring about those experiences. But I've had them in many different different experiences where I've been exposed to heat, where I've had that experience, or I've had it in, you know, in breath, breath journeys, or I even hadn't quite an important experience in a cancer money. Like that was not like, cow is not very, you know, it's not a strong substance or anything. So it's, I think that those things, if we're sensitive enough to it, they can come about in many different can come by meditation, etc. So that's what I would say in response to that. I think it's not unique to to psychedelics.
