I am a bit at a loss when it comes about how to explore that “deep down” world (I don't know how to describe it better with words) and this need for connection with it. It appeared linked to the idea of a well. I did some research on its symbolism and it’s been enlightening about the idea that was trying to be transmitted. Still don’t know how I will approach it, though.




I think psychedelics have a strong relationship to the unconscious. During my first mushroom explorations I felt like it was a sort of "digging" process to reach something "down there," which is not too different from picturing it as a well. Psychedelics demonstrate there is a lot going on in the brain which we are not directly, consciously in control of.

It's been interesting to read about Jung's ideas (there's a useful summary in a book called The Essential Jung edited by Anthony Storr). In general you could say that psychedelics allow you to experience the psyche more fully, without being restricted to the part which you normally think of as "me." You could think of a trip as weakening the boundary between the unconscious and your everyday conscious experience.

I think an important aspect of Jung's thoughts was that this type of inner communication is often imagistic or symbolic, and not to be taken literally. The same applies to psychedelic insights - they are not meaningless but do need a bit of interpretation, integration, reflection. They give you a different perspective on your life, but it's up to you to do something useful with that insight.

I find the introspection on psychedelics can become quite harsh at higher doses, but eventually a feeling of acceptance comes in, along with that feeling of compassion you talk about. I think sometimes you need to be kind to yourself, be more forgiving of your own faults in the same way you don't expect others to be perfect. This type of inner negativity becomes more obvious during a trip.

It sounds like you are thinking your way through all this and finding something positive from the trip. :peace:
