RE: In Search of the Unknown: An experiment with LSA
Those who seek meaning can come up with some ideas to dissolve the narrowing inner borders, but the addictive search is full of life in its own right. Rush of heart, anxiety, looking death in the eye is like a recall, not death, but another chance to get his things done, like finishing the doctoral thesis.
It was a masters thesis and I actually got back to it and finished it but the experience wasnt good enough for me to try again. I wish I could see the rush and all as a recall at those moments but it was terrifying and thoughts weren't clear.
I was still very young when I had a similar experience and that protected me quite well in retrospect - then I got into the clear spiritual path of meditation, but everywhere we can encounter experiences that may even be similar. The desire and action to loosen or dissolve the boundaries of identity also mobilizes internal resistance and the most effective tool for this is fear. She is able to quickly and immediately lash the identity tightly again. That causes pain, but in the end it holds together.
I guess you're saying the fear of death is just an attempt of the ego to maintain the self identity but if we go through the feelings of panic without fearing it, we can loosen the boundaries of identity? Is that it?
I would say that once the borders consciously do not dissolve quickly, at any rate not by constructive means such as mediation, but secondly I mean that this panic that you have experienced has certainly saved you from the type of guy in you who tried out loose substances and did not have the gaze until then that the use can also be a way into madness.
:) I think I understand you now. The borders should be slowly dissolved through constructive means such as meditation rather than trying out substances which can be fatal or damaging. I understand, but some substances are milder and have more revealing experiences and they've been in use for so long. Something like iboga even has mental healing abilities.
Yes, I can see that also just like you.
