The Psychedelic Spotlight podcast guest also addresses criticism that she is a white woman working with sacred plant medicine, and how that inspired her next non-profit venture.
Why is someone that has a spiritual insight always mentioning some Buddhist or Hindu God or diety. There is no mention that a true embrace of Jesus Christ one can achieve the same spiritual insight through the Holy Spirit. I took Mescaline back in the early 70’s I had similar experience as the first one Will Smith had. Later I had a better experience after I surrendered my life to Christ. The out of body experience I had paled in comparison to the mescaline the indwelling of the Holy Spirit left me in total euphoria. My experience lasted only on about five minutes total but the presence Of Jesus Christ was something I wish everyone could experience. You don’t need a drug, mescaline, coke, or any other substance. I didn’t want to come down. No bad experiences from Jesus Christ, just bliss.
Great question Willie!
The answer is because spiritual insights come from the mind, and different individuals have different spiritual/religious figures in mind because of conditions they’ve grown in. If you’re of the Christian faith, it makes total sense for Jesus to appear to you during a psychedelic experience and to feel “his” love, because his name and form is how you relate to the divine, much like Jesus related to the divine as the “Father.” Jesus, God, The Holy Spirit, Buddha, Krishna, Padmasambhava, Mother, etc, all are just different cultural names or personal preference to describe for the same thing: mythological characters pointing toward an Absolute Reality that exists outside the limiting view of the ego. All name and form springs from the mind, and those names and forms are dependent upon upon sensory perceptions of the mind perceiving them and the stories that have shaped that mind’s perspective. Happy to hear you had a profound psychedelic experience that deepened your faith and relationship to the divine, but perhaps ponder the possibility that the religious characters representing that bliss you speak of are interchangeable for different minds who have embraced different faiths.
Very interesting. The experiences are very Taoist. Finding enlightenment and inhaling sunbeams.
