Come cambiare la tua mente

Psychedelics could very well be the key that saves us. Every "world leader" should gather for a ceremony, at least once a year, instead of quarreling at a distance over riches or lands no one really owns.

So long classified as dangerous drugs, certain psychedelics, when used under the integrity of trained guidance for the purpose of personal growth and healing, are amazingly effective at getting at the root cause of issues preventing us from being our best selves. This series does a wonderful job of presenting this perspective in a way that is both fascinating and informative.

I watched the first episode, the one about LSD. In my younger daze I was quite well acquainted with the dreaded lysergic. I went to AA for many years and I heard about Bill W taking acid after he got sober. The TV show stated that he got sober because of his acid experience.....not so, he got sober 8 yrs before acid was invented. I heard he was looking for a cure for his long term depression so he tried acid.

Other than the misinformation I enjoyed watching the episode.

The documentary unfolds meaningful topics that are much needed in our time of superficial, fast paced lives, governed by quick consumption media and confused values. Of course, the information is not new in any way since it has been explored for 1000s of years already. It's just that researching it from a scientific point of view is only a few decades old and has tragically been relegated to the woowoo department.

I've been saying the same things for the past 23 years, but of course, most people prefer to focus on gratifying their senses and anything beyond that falls on deaf ears.

Hopefully, this great docu will get the exposure it deserves. But the docu is not that important in itself. It's the message within that matters.

Our consciousness is the greatest mystery in our lives, and it is only by radically exploring this mystery that we can achieve lasting, positive change within ourselves. And it is only by doing that that we can hope to change society as a whole.

Really wonderful information, but I don't understand why they weigh so heavily on mysticism when we have a lot of scientific understanding how spirituality works. Our brains have a mechanism that is a bit of a slider switch between "self" and "no self". The more we live in fear, anxiety, focus, the more we trend towards "self" because it is precisely linked with survival - if you don't focus on "self" then you are less likely to survive in the wild. Psychedelics throw the switch the other way and make us forget about ourselves as individual beings, which much like religious experiences, makes us feel "one with all". It's not magic, it's an evolutionary mechanism. Wish they would talk more about the science we already have.
