With prolonged psychedelics use you either learn to resist or to let go. Most people here unfortunately learn how to resist.
They steer clear of Hell, rather than set course right to the very heart of suffering. Unsuccessful resisting is what makes many older adults (drug or sober) so fucked-up as they are. (unhappy, scared people with horrible thoughts about the meaning of life and death etc)
It is best to suffer atrocity today, than fear today you'd have to face it tomorrow, and then get it too. There's no free ride. My Ego could move the sun and moon but I'm willing to throw it into the meat grinder if that can advance me in life. Spiritual growth is a serious, sometimes downright painful process, and yet its light as a feather. Alot of the time tripping I spend suffering without holding back.

I think there may be a little truth to this. I know for me, I faught it hard. I wasn't looking for an ego loss experience and I didn't really understand it all as I was going through it. But eventually, I just couldn't fight it anymore. Though it should be noted that I had taken a shit load of some strong mushrooms...

I have had full-blown ego loss on 1.5-2.0 grams; I find it easier to "let go" on smaller doses.

This is a great thread. I have been recently getting far on small doses. It seems as though you train yourself how to get there with bigger doses and can do it with smaller doses eventually. I decided I just wanted a mild experience last time and went with only 2 grams. I think part of it was that the mushrooms were very potent. There was also a familiar pull down the rabbithole. I fought it at first as I did not wish to go that far. Afterall, I carefully planned to avoid this on this trip. It really distorted my perception of potency, but I am thinking that you may train yourself to go far. Is it the mushrooms or is it a gateway to a shaminic world you learn to find?
Anyway, thanks to all who posted here.
