As someone who has dabbled in psychedelics before, I recently stumbled upon a YouTube video from the channel Psychedelic Actualization. The video caught my attention because it discussed a topic that I have often wondered about - the darker side of psychedelics.


The speaker in the video opened up about their own fear of psychedelics and the intensity of the experiences they have had. They spoke about how the challenging aspects of psychedelic experiences are not emphasized enough in the psychedelic community and how working with psychedelics is a relationship that deepens over time.


As someone who has only had positive experiences with psychedelics, the video made me question if I was truly prepared for the potential challenges that could come with deeper exploration. The speaker mentioned a person who had gone on 17 high-dose LSD sessions and wrote about the relentless torment and suffering he had experienced.


This was a sobering reminder that psychedelics are not all sunshine and rainbows. They can take us to dark and difficult places, and it's important to approach them with care and respect.


The speaker also touched on the positive aspects of psychedelic experiences, such as the reward of rebirth, realizing God's love, and experiencing infinite love. This reminded me that even though there may be challenges, the potential for growth and spiritual connection is worth it.


Overall, the video was a powerful reminder of the importance of being aware of the potential challenges and intensity of psychedelic experiences and approaching them with care, respect, and safety. It also made me appreciate the positive aspects of the psychedelic experience even more.


As someone who is interested in continuing to explore psychedelics, this video has given me a new perspective and a renewed sense of respect for the power of these substances. If you're interested in psychedelics, I highly recommend checking out the Psychedelic Actualization channel and taking the time to consider the potential challenges and intensity of your own psychedelic journey.
