Lately I’ve noticed a growing number of #News accounts on #Mastodon, and honestly, it feels a bit overwhelming. I don’t use the #Fediverse to get breaking updates, I have other sources for that.

What draws me here are real #People, authentic #Experiences, and thoughtful #Conversations with like-minded individuals.

#Social platforms shouldn’t just mirror traditional #media, they should amplify #humanconnection. Let’s keep the focus on community, not just constant newsfeeds.

The path of distancing is well-worn and familiar: we judge ourselves or others, and then we attack, withdraw, or numb. These reactions are all variations of the classic defensive repertoire of fight, flight, or freeze. The path of welcoming our experience, of becoming intimate with it, is less familiar. While it seems riskier, it is far more rewarding.

How do you relate to your experience—particularly your more challenging or emotionally painful experiences? Do you welcome them, or do you try to distance yourself from them? Do you lean in, or do you lean away? Are you intimate with them or distant from them?

”You’re right that music influences our psychedelic experience, but perhaps not exactly in the way you propose. In my experience, it is not so much that strong music pushes you in its direction, but it can help loosen the ties that bind us to our customary and fixed patterns of thinking and feeling.”

“It’s certainly tricky to trust “data” that comes from non-ordinary states of consciousness. What a swamp our minds can be; the collective psyche even more so. But experience is all I have to offer here. I see and understand your warnings…”

“What we bring to the encounter certainly influences what arises there, especially in the beginning, but as our experience deepens, we enter the common ground of the universe itself, known from different perspectives and through different lenses, to be sure, but recognizable as common ground.”
