yes, I agree, it's a combo thing. I wish he'd gone into that idea a bit more, that is, that meditation techniques were all developed and mastered in a time when chemical assistance was probably a given.
Terence once said in response to a similar question; something to the effect that the difference between meditation and psychedelics is that: with meditation you spend your life looking for the gas pedal, and with psychedelics you spend the whole time frantically looking for the brakes.
Thank you for your work here, keep it up.
Yes. Many so-called spiritual practices (such as yoga, meditation, mandala, mudra, drumming, chanting, poetry, etcetera) were developed over centuries as techniques for navigating time-space with entheogenic tools.
You're right, there's room for more open discussion about this.
