psychiatric vacation

I knew that I’d be seen as manipulative if I followed through with my prison savvy plan to take a psychiatric vacation but I was willing to suffer the blowback because quite frankly, my emotional needs are more important than my reputation at this point in my life.

psychonaut

An explorer of one's own mind. A psychonaut often embarks on inner voyages with the aid of psychoactive substances, meditation, sensory deprivation, binaural beats, and other means. Most commonly, one who experiments with psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin, LSD, MDMA (ecstasy), peyote, or mescalin. The goal of the psychonaut is to learn about self and reality by transcending normal consciousness. Psychonauts are distinguished from purely recreational users of psychoactive substances in their desire to learn and grow from these experiences.

Psychonaut

A psychonaut is Greek for- psyche = soul or spirit - nautes' = sailor or navigator.

So initially you have become a soul sailor/spirit navigator. Seeking altered states of consciousness via meditation, yoga, sensory deprivation, flotation tanks, holotropic breathing, entheogens, entagtogens, plant medicine, psychedelics.

We are exploring our own minds, we are exploring our own soul, we explore our consciousness. We are exploring the universe. The universe is exploring itself through our eyes.

Technically everyone is seeking altered states of reality, going to view a movie.. is for the emotions it gives us. Watching UFC or sports, the primal tribal side of our DNA. Drinking coffee or tea. Listening to music, playing video games, stepping into VR. Being an actor on television. Sipping a beer/wine. Having sex. Dreaming. These are all altered states of consciousness.

I believe before any one does a true psychedelic, they must study philosophy, yoga, meditation, holotropic breathing. You would never have "the fear," anxiety attack, panic attack, PTSD, or chronic depression. It is all being disconnected from the earth, spirit, soul, nature, the universe. The amazonians, the native American Indians, shamans... they know this. We have lost touch with our spirit. That is why we seek these altered states.

We are all made of star dust, ruins of the big bang i.e. a super nova, in an ever expanding universe of collective consciousness. - Carl Sagan

You are the universe experiencing itself, if only for a little while. ~ Alan Watts
