how do you keep yourself grounded/do you ever feel like you’ve gone too far when you are working with areas around magic, imaginal work, psychedelics etc?

oh i like this question! i am currently still more or less a scientific materialist somewhat against my will although i know and respect people who aren’t, so i still double-check my beliefs against, like, physics. mainly i believe that human minds are very powerful

eg we had a thread about entities recently - currently i believe entities could exist as sort of distributed software running on human (maybe also other animal?) hardware, not necessarily physically. so they could be like IFS parts but moving from person to person
also i like to hold my beliefs in this area playfully and lightly to the extent i can. part of the game here involves deliberately playing around with belief which i can’t claim to be any good at but it’s interesting to try

so things like “haha wouldn’t it be funny if…” or “hmm let’s try behaving as if…” and other kind of liminal states between “this is definitely false” and “this is definitely true”; openness and curiosity
