jan“It's not that experience, or perception, isn't sometimes misleading. Of course it is. We misperceive all the time. But the point is you dig deeper, and you discover a broader, or a richer, perception that replaces the prior delusive perception, but you never get beyond experience. There's nothing on the other side of it. You're always going to be in experience.”<br>—Matthew Segall<br><a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experience" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experience</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiencing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiencing</a>
janThe 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.<br>—John Prendergast, In Touch: How to Tune In to the Inner Guidance of Your Body and Trust Yourself<br><a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiencing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiencing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiences" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiences</a>
janHow 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?<br>—John Prendergast, In Touch: How to Tune In to the Inner Guidance of Your Body and Trust Yourself<br><a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiences" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiences</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiencing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiencing</a>
jan”Once you have broken through so many barriers, your mind lives in a spacious landscape. You can open into this landscape and continue to learn from it without challenging your limits further. But if I did want to challenge my limits, if I wanted to go deeper than I had gone before, I would strap on the fierce music again and ride it as far as it would take me.”<br>—Christopher Bache, Are deep psychedelic experiences trustable?<br><a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/music" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiencing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiencing</a>
