I seem to have recently lost my sense of existential dread and the world is feeling far safer and more trustworthy to me. I have an almost childlike sense of security and carefree-ness, which is new.
Having the ability to understand different perspectives on past experiences can be very useful.
The only downside is that most of the rest of the world is still constrained in their singular perspectives - constantly in competition, killing each other, lusting after money, etc.
The challenge you may face in the future is reconciling your new found knowledge with the reality that you will experience in the real world.
Really appreciate you sharing your background. We share some commonalities (gifted neurodivergence, some childhood unpleasantness) and it’s nice to hear that there are vectors to escape from a deeply pessimistic cosmological perspective.
Congrats! This is a powerful experience.

Good luck.
Isn't this all somewhere in the hero's journey?
Awesome post David, love the audio podcast format in Substack.

LSA is a mild enough psychedelic to macrodose with and not form tolerance, every 3 days.. :)
