ego dissolution right it's like all of your narratives and understandings of who you are and what's important kind of unravel and loosen up quite a bit and so that creates an opening where you can kind of rebuild in in its place i think this is why psychedelic therapy is like really becoming hot right now because it does seem to be a way that you could potentially shortcut this a little bit and help people reach this place of like letting go of

their stories and their beliefs and their values relatively quickly and then helping guide them build something up in its place.

It's interesting because if you think about what is the evolutionary role of pain and suffering, it is to get you to change your behavior.

Right.

Right.
