The mission should be to ground everything in reality. Even the mystical.

The mystical can remain mysterious while having a footing in the truth. That’s the funny thing. Being obscure, complex, or transcendent does not invalidate something’s truth. Psychedelics are a great example of a catalyst to the mysterious whose underpinnings are deeply rational and truthful.

The essence of the psychedelic experience is, well… psychedelic! And it is very mysterious. That is an irrefutable truth. So mystery is irrefutable.

You must constantly transcend the limits of the unknown to strengthen yourself against the world around you and ensure a better future. Do not succumb to fallow acceptance. Think of Nietzsche’s tightrope walker, standing on the steps of the grand canyon, overlooking God’s great, laughing, sunrise set against the pale green-brown of plants and shrubs, and the red, orange, yellow, and ochre of tones stone below.

“This is not a game!”

“Well, then… What do you think it is, exactly?”

My life calling is to bring attention to the fact that the world is a magical, beautiful, mysterious, and — most of all — good place. There are reasons for true optimism.
