Had the same exact experience a year ago on my first trip.

We’re all the same person = experiencing one-ness/ego death.

For a lot of people it adds magic into their lives. For my materialist mind, not as much. Just confusion.

I think it gave me what Jordan Peterson calls ontological shock. Having OCD doesn’t help since I now obsess about it and I also suspect it made me feel derealized.
