>I think the psychedelics nurture the ability to recognize that feelings and narratives are not representative of reality

>The ability to detach from self, to recognize a spectrum of truth, of perception

It sounds a lot like meditation and buddhist practice. I mean, I already hear that everywhere and there are some clinical trials with meditation too. But your narrative fits nicely. That's cool.

Yes. In his book Waking Up, Sam Harris (yes, that Sam Harris), makes this same connection. He does it in a very sensitive way too, without suggesting psychedelics as a shortcut to mindfulness.

Edit: I've never experienced psychedelics myself, but have had been using mindfulness/meditation to come to terms with these same ideas.
