well my take is the following: I think it depends on the person interacting with the mushroom %uD83C%uDF44  Based on peoples framework of how they view the world. for example just like some think in words, other think in images, &some might be able to think both in words and images. However i think everyone can develop the ability to "talk" to the mushroom. Just like everyone can learn to bike, sing, dance, play sports, draw etc. For some it might be "easier" and for others "harder" all develops on the individual, we are all unique. 

i know this is from 8years ago, better late than never. 

Have a wonderful day :)
