Dr. Thomas Roberts argued that alter one's consciousness is an inalienable human right and including the use of psychedelics as a project of humanist legislation. In the same way we use applications, technology, media and all kinds of gadgets and alter the environments in which we move and we can do so freely, is an essential part of our freedom up in our "biocomputer" mental applications, programs, ideas, codes, substances.
While I agree broadly with the proposed Roberts, especially in their argument aware that psychoactive drugs are "psychotechnologies" but also the information itself is a drug, I think a lot have glorified altered states of drugs (I include myself in this trend) and that although they have significant potential for self-configure the mind and free ourselves from certain programativas structures of collective culture --the consensual-- operating system are at greater risk and there are more tools safe, perhaps less dazzling and require more of our effort, but that's why it also provide greater rewards.
Having experimented with psychedelics and try honeys that made the sages of the Vedas consider a plant --the soma-- as a divinity and the very thing that deifies (because it leads through a known drunk states consciousness, which are equivalent to the state of divinity) is almost certain that one ardently look to repeat or return to that state we have called for raising awareness. Often with drugs these states are evanescent and can not quite remember what we experienced or saw, but we have the feeling that at times our perception was clear and deep and our feeling was one of connection, integration and harmony with the laws and patterns of nature. However, when we come to these states using other techniques it is easier to observe changes, improvements, results: we have more tranquility for autoobservarnos and test us in ordinary situations, which we must resolve with greater ease. It is easier to return to that magical land when we arrived without magic. This also gives us a benchmark, a land company to keep growing and growing more consistently and safety; after all it is not a career or the search for a single redeeming vision of lightning, a great hack that gives us the --this lighting, we learn slowly, it is a matter of life a huge journey (life a unique journey, a mind-space-time continuum). Otherwise one can become a psiconauta expert DMT or ayahuasca and continue crossing thresholds in subtle dimensions, and go accessing higher planes, but, to be honest, how much continuity, how much confidence do we have that we are always working on it base, and planting seeds that will bear fruit that we can use, or that the trip will give us the same working conditions forever? And how do you see in that wonderful visionary waterfall, which are facing what Terence McKenna called "true hallucinations"?
This post comes a bit of context of my blog, but rather intertwines text and reading about the experiences of triptravel, I hope you who read me your opinion and share experiences
