Lex Fridman Podcast
Integrating Psychedelic Experiences and Meditation for a New Perspective
Psychedelics offer more than just visual experiences and mind journeys. They also provide a new perspective on life. This is similar to the process of meditation, which is like the psychedelic journey, and contemplation, which is the return to reality. Mindfulness encompasses the entire process. If you only contemplate, you may experience inflation and fantasy projection. If you only meditate, you may withdraw and avoid reality. They complement each other and create a balance. It's like opponent processing in the autonomic nervous system or attention. Both are necessary, and neither is a cure-all.
