Preferencing contraction over expansion is contracting around expansion
Having experiences with psychedelics can lead people to fear death less, but still not eliminate the fear entirely. It's important to not become dependent on expanded states induced by psychedelics, as the spiritual journey involves learning how to be present in normal life experiences.

Consequently, the purpose of life and the judgment of others can shift towards a more patient and empathetic perspective, which can also be enhanced by meditation and other practices.
