I'll check out her work and see! Thanks :D

Ahh, bummer! Wish I could hear it!

Is the talk online? I'd be curious to listen to it!

Each type of mushroom has been different qualitatively beyond just the different mindset I've had going in.
Anyone else had similar (or different) experiences with this?

The call for papers on the Mormon experience of psychedelics if anyone is interested in submitting one!

My hope with this anthology is to provide a resource for Mormons looking to compare their experiences with others, to learn what an experience in a faith-based context might look like, and hopefully reduce some of the stigma surrounding psychedelic use among Mormons.

Remove that and people will search and go elsewhere to find community that respects their own experiences and search.

It's also shameful that the LDS church has threatened some people's membership because their search for God took them to a place that doesn't match the dull orthodoxy.
Psychedelics have the opportunity to reinvigorate people's faith if they're allowed to explore within the confines of their faith.

It's so sad to me that friends, family, and workplaces will and have shamed so many people into not sharing important experiences with their loved ones.

One of the best things to come from my mormon upbringing that I still use and appreciate!

I'd love to hear more about it! That's really neat!

I always seem to pull the tower, still am. My wife never does, though, and she's been pulling the tower like mad lately, too!

Someone's gotta infiltrate those top journals with weird shit to make them more interesting again!

My grandma despises crows and has a massive murder that visits her backyard and screams at her daily (she yells back too!)
Meanwhile I can't get a single crow to stop by my yard for the life of me 😭🤣

And if people encounter in the experience a "demon" whether or not it is reality, the felt sense of a protection ritual's influence on the suggestive state is likely going to be positive.

It's obviously best practices when coming from any sort of animist or occult worldview.
But I think it would make sense without that framing too as a psychological protective act. We're ritual creatures and even adding in a basic "protection" ritual soothes the unconscious mind.
