Page 82 of the Essential Psychedelic Guide by DM Turner. Self-Development on Numerous Fronts. Psychedelics can help the user develop in many ways. The primary development that tends to occur is a general broadening of perspectives and life experience. Each time one embarks on a psychedelic voyage, the familiar mode of viewing the world is temporarily set aside and the voyager has a chance to view life with the filters of conditioning removed. Although a new filter is created as the psychedelic state fades, the trippers post-session reality should be permanently changed, at least to a small degree. After a psychedelic trip, one has the vantage point of having experienced life as though he or she had been a different entity. One's filter of conditioning should become less biased as one experiences life through a multitude of viewpoints. It is also likely for trippers' filter to become less rigid as he or she welcomes familiar with its undying fluidity. It is not uncommon for psychedelic users to come to the realization that what they have called reality is but an arbitrary view of life. The next step in this sequence is acknowledgement that one's experience of life can be consciously changed to their will. For me, this has resulted in an expansion of my ability and what I consider possible to do. Psychedelics should also expand one's ambitions and desire to obtain the most out of life. Once you've experienced heaven, it is difficult to remain satisfied with a mediocre state of existence. For one's life to be strongly affected by psychedelics, it is usually necessary to make the insights gained during the psychedelic experience part of their regular frame of mind. This requires some type of follow-through after one's journey, possibly a spiritual or psychological practice that will help avoid slipping back into routine patterns. This can take much more effort than the psychedelic experience itself, but the rewards can be well worth the effort. The ability of psychedelics to stimulate artistic creativity is well known. The cultural revolution that began in the 60s has many outstanding examples. In The Psychedelics in Psychopedia, Peter Stafford describes several surveys of artists who tried psychedelics and how it affected their work. That's page 82.
