I wish you well for your experience and look forward to hearing about it.
For me the veil is already so 'thin' that I would not survive such an experience (even a highly positive one) because I would go to a place I intuitively know I wouldn't/couldn't return from. And I'm not prepared to spend my life in an institution.
I don't say this as a deterrent for anyone, nor as a criticism of hallucinogens/entheogens.
I am very interested in the latter and love reading about peoples experiences. I wish I could experience it but I just know it is too risky with my mental health and already having enough difficulty staying incarnate and trying to be a normal human as it is !
I do feel the article has quite a bit of merit - but what you say does as well. You probably could (imo) give him a bit more credit as you are a complete novice... but you make valid points... it's clearly meant for you to do.
I really agree with decriminalisation of drugs...
I don't much resonate with Watts as he became severely dependent on alcohol and I need to be detached from someone who devolved to an alcoholic energy (just because of my own journey) - so he's not for me... but it's good your enjoying his information/ideas. I've read a lot of him and Leary and many others.
I'd prefer to not fly to Peru myself were I ever to do it - also I'm interested in dmt experiences... I think the energy aspect is relevant, I'm aware of the power of a gifted cuanderos but too much trust is asked for my liking - again just my situation... so in a sense a scientific and controlled setting is more my style - I'd probably have an 'experience' just from being around the situation and the shaman... this is the extremity of my intuition/clairsentience/empath-ness....
I hope I'm making sense in what i'm saying...it's late here
only other thing I'd say is that the death's/injurys aren't "a blip on the radar".. did you go to the link and then click on the individual links to the deaths/bad experiences?
Though - actually - perhaps don't - as a positive attitude is what you need to have - and I feel you're being careful and again - wish you joy and learning and will be excited to hear your journey with it all
