on non-ordinary perception & cognition.
In re psychedelics, but the same doors can be opened with meditation & contemplation.
Dense with insights—I’m tempted to write a blog post summarizing!
notes, some peculiarities of American Buddhism only make sense in light of its roots in 1960s-70s psychedelic culture, and the puritanical 1980s-90s reaction, rejection, and cover-up.
summarizes the non-ordinary consequences as: Impermanence, Suchness, & Meta-Rationality.
This valuable reformulation mirrors the traditional tantric progression from ordinary perception through emptiness, energy, and non-duality.
It non-duality really equivalent to meta rationality? It seems to be post rational to me, but not in the ribbonfarm sense, but as deliberate dissociation and restructuring of meaning-as-relevance.
