>>19907147meh I've experienced ego death with good old pharmaceutical grade LSD in the comfort of my own home. Those people who go take heroic doses of ayahuasca in hellish jungles where that's the traditional stuff (and coincidentally the native religion was based around unbelievably cruel human sacrifice and demon worship) are getting a completely different experience
Like I said, you can experience ego death, which is a temporary experience, but if you're stupid enough to be "open to the astral plane and the ancestral teachers or whatever" you might just get occupied by the things that live there.

>It's funny how ayahuasca is some of the most dangerous drugs around and yet it's exclusively consumed by idiot turbonormies trying to "heal their internalized racism" or whatever, and getting oneshotted by it. Getting their little lib brains scrambled by some Mesoamerican 6th-dimension demon who makes them get divorced, quit their email job, and become a traveling circus strippershe looks like that.
