Psychedelics, Mysticism and the Non-conceptual Mind


Listen Later

Through the deconditioning of our habitual thought patterns, psychedelics can offer glimpses into a non-conceptual, spontaneous and intuitive way of engaging with the world, akin to an infant’s perception or the Zen concept of ‘shoshin’.

What this speaks to is the primacy of direct experience, which so often is concealed by a hypnotic attachment of attention to the conceptual thinking mind.

Building these bridges with the non-conceptual and the non-reflective, through these non-ordinary states of consciousness, can hold the potential for profound insight and personal growth. This video is not exhaustive on this topic and I hope in the future to develop these ideas further :)
