>What am trying to say is at what point do these trips are meant to be taken seriously? Because frankly i have a hard time understanding what tripfags are on about, they say it improved their lives or it showed them wisdom, yet they can't really explain it and it just seems they got pompous more than anything else.

welcome to drugs

where having a transcendental spiritual experience leaves the user with an even bigger ego than before and even less self-awareness to realize such

i think the problem is that conventional language cannot possibly capture even 5% of the experience. words are basically an insult to psychedelic trips. combine this with people who already weren't the brightest or self-reflective before blasting off into 'hyperspace'... i DO think psychedelics can impart paradigm-shifting wisdom but the entire phenomena is much too alien and emotional for most people to be able to intellectualize afterwards, much less live the wisdom. it's a mindfuck afterwards to see how deeply rooted in the socially-engineered matrix your peers are, so all you're left with is a feeling of 'i know more than them but can't convince them with words', hence the ego returning

I hypothesized it has something to do with the serotonin receptors being hijacked after these 'blissful' trips. One anon said despite agreeing with me he did personally insulted, and he was even aware of that too which is odd. Maybe his mind was more resilient to notice that, but nevertheless the fact it (psychedelics) forces and flushes out emotions, makes me really anxious and i have a feeling there is something way sinister going on behind the scenes particularly when the bad evil trips are being (brushed off aside, and some people despite having terror/nightmare tier trips, still treat them with a friendly fashion).

Would you say this is the primary for people developing such a firm 'ego' afterwards? Like most people barely experience something shocking or exciting in their lives, especially when most people don't even remember dreaming. Hence when they experience something so shocking/amazing and live to tell the tale, they develop this pompous attitude like i mentioned.
