there's a certain type of narrative that seems to be "baked in" to the way Ayahuasca tourism is conducted. I've read many similar accounts, though this one is well written and very detailed. it's an instance of it's class though. simultaneously deeply personal and also archetypal
I'd love to hear your take on this. Looking forward to reading it if/when you get around to it.

Probably just be a series of tweets. Short version is I got most of my early attainment off a left-hand path stuff. There were some... side-effects. This stuff sounds kind of comparable. If so, it's not simply "not optimal"; it's malicious.

someone was kind enough to warn me early on before I got far enough to seriously hurt myself. middle-path has really become an important (and quite literal) method for me.

I went just far enough to get into near-total self-destruction. Good thing, too. I did some serious personality upgrades since then, in large part out of sheer desperation.

The bigger, more persistent issue (assuming you don't have a secular life worth preserving) is the moral hazard. People who get enlightened on this path? They're usually fairly monstrous.

So fair enough, you can get all the attainment you want (and teh magicx), but if all it does is make you Very Comfortable with your own darkest self... ... I don't know that that's really an improvement.

Anyway, none of that is exactly what this is about. I'll get around to it later, though.
