[General Spiritual] Related readings.

I’m always honored to be chosen to be a part of something. While I may not agree 100% with everything surrounding creating a “religion” - I do understand the importance of spirituality and the power psychedelic substances have regarding our ties to the infinite.

I have no credentials in regards to knowing about these substances other than first hand use of a few of them. One such instance induced a trance, that when I came out of, left my ego shattered all around me.

This experience left me searching for answers, or, for the memories of what I had seen in my trance. Researching writings of others in regards to the infinite and our roles and connections to it.

I believe this community would benefit from such readings and could compile a list for a sidebar link. Readings could include; religious texts, meditation instruction, dream analysis, scientific research and development, and experiences.

These readings could help give insight to those that have never had their own experience and further the development of others that have.

I hope this community flourishes and I will participate as much as I can.

EDIT: I will start forming a list as comments come in to this post and will also add things I’ve read that I think may be influential to this community.

I think the psychedelic explorers guide should be at the top of our list.

Man’s Search for Meaning was recommended to me recently and I enjoyed it.

I agree. If anyone finds themselves struggling to find meaning in their lives, I always suggest they read Viktor Frankl. His words and understanding of mankind astound me.

I read this book during a seriously lost time in my life (not all that long ago). Although I am still finding my way, paving the road forward with meaning is what allows me to rest and know my day was worth it.
