Ouro, The paranoid is assailed and at the mercy of his internal Demons, the Essential is INTEGRATED and Living happily enough, one can swim the waters of his ARCHETYPES and the other is probably in hell. I suggest googling Joseph Campbell lectures and shows, he offers some "maps" to start. one thing though, as much fun as psyhoactives can be, the Huxley Quote is actually true- (something like)- LSD is neither necessary or sufficient for Enlightenment. and part of the reason is that the experience is a HUMAN Experience, and as such IS attainable Endogenously: the impacts i have found are greater and can be accessed with greater and greater ease. I would sugggest you are needing some "myth Maps" for where your head is opening to, it could be viewed as something a little psycho OR someone awakening, simply stated you have energies that others dont and ancient cultures KNEW that, at least those from the far east. IF you are finding you are being healthy, happy and Integrated with others enough, that you are not paranoid as fuck about weird shit or not having wild manic episodes where you look back and think "UH Ohhh...) then Probably all good, otherwise lay of the transcendence a while OR raise your understanding of Mythology with the help of someone who Experiences it and understands well (NOT likely to find, Shamanism is almost Entirely missunderstood in western Culture), "start the walking" to "it". (Also as a standard we tell the people breaking out to fix their DIET and start regular exercise TOO! Walking on Water wasn't built in a day and these are all Essentialsssssss......) people KNEW THIS once as we lived in our Ancient feely feely brains more, THEN we started upping the amount of knowledge with more and more education, knowledge from the field of opposites, frontal lobe knowledge, separate, comparative, logical, we left the Hypothalamus more and more, wrote stories of how the god went away, from the time of magic and wild Archetypes, and how we were expelled out of the garden of eternity, after way more than 2000 years of making our conscious brain do push ups we are going mad and have forgotten how to dream and view the world through the HUMAN view of the hypothalamus area, Some like you can move into the old brain more, tripper do it, meditation does it, prayers also, (ALL roads LEAD there really) and the fact that liberal attitudes, internet knowledge (apocalypse means to reveal and uncover remember...), GOOD Drugs are being accepted back is WONDERFUL news, these states of mind are about to have the gate flung open once again. the fact is MANY MANY people are reporting strange stories from eternity as such, im one of them, its nearly here! Since the internets boom, research by historians, neurologists, psyches, science Ethnology etc have found the information that was once used to control and maintain the populace, namely what the fuck are the old myths, scriptures are for and how to use them. they are Maps of archtypes expressed in the DREAM like language of the Ancient brain. its like a dream story coz thats how the feely brain works (and NOT new ager twaddle or science logic) it actually works, the solutions for mental problems are more like, if the kid has add (WHATeveeer) then let her go to DANCING SCHOOL and become a happy person success, (true story) rather than feed her pills to try make her one like the others. (EVIL) thats an example of how a Shaman would ADAPT a schizophrenic attack and enable one to leave the hell opening up as a paranoid and become an ESSENTIAL.
