The Influence of Society on Personal Growth

Regardless of how liberated your mind feels, societal pressures will always have an impact. Consider any belief you hold—if you can’t trace it back to your own experiences, it likely stems from external influences. These influences can be from employers, family expectations, friends' ideologies, or various forms of media. While it’s natural to be affected by others, distinguishing between internal and external influences is crucial for discovering your true self.

Seeing Yourself Through an Objective Lens

To truly understand psychedelics, think of them as a form of "raw data." When you perceive a chair while sober, you see it simply as "something to sit on," with no further thought. In contrast, under the influence, you might notice the detailed texture of the fabric or the unique contours of the legs, perhaps even perceiving it as "breathing."

This raw perspective allows you to evaluate yourself from an outsider's viewpoint. What are your authentic strengths and weaknesses? How have you disappointed others? What do you contribute in social settings? In everyday life, your ego often shields you from such deep introspection. The discomfort felt during a psychedelic experience often arises from the clash between your ego's self-image and your true self.

However, this objective clarity is short-lived. Soon enough, your protective ego resurfaces, and the ideals of society begin to dilute your personal convictions, leading you back to your previous habits and thought patterns.

A Month of Reflection and Change

It’s remarkable how swiftly old habits return, even when you acknowledge their negative impact. Psychedelics offer a brief opportunity to view yourself without bias. Recognizing the changes needed is the straightforward part; the challenge lies in effectively integrating those changes into your daily life. While the trip may last up to 12 hours, the choices you make afterward can have lasting effects.
