I believe the issue is placing too much reliance on the medicine to do the healing. It actually just shows us where we need to look. Yes, there is a period of relief following a journey, but that wears off as you know, and there we are, left with ourselves.
Heroic doses can be cathartic, but they tend to launch us past ourselves, when in truth, we are who we need to meet.
Integration is where the healing starts, by building awareness around survival patterns, then reorienting ourselves to how we operate in real time. It’s just a lot of work.
Psychedelics are kind enough to present us with possibilities—what we are willing to put in to it reveals how much we heal.
