What psychedelic means
Psychedelic — means manifesting the psyche, the mind, the soul. They work differently, but the result is the same. You see yourself. The world you actually live in. The world inside your own head. The map of meaning, rolled into a tunnel of reality. Through it you only see what you can name. To see how things really are, you have to step off the map. Exit the descriptions. In Buddhism this is called nirvana, and we sometimes dwell in it, sinking into some thought during the day. Usually this state passes quickly.
If only you could linger and look around — what is my mind actually made of. What am I made of.
