I suppose I think...
That guided trips could, in fact, serve a useful purpose. For sure.
I remember studying the relationship between language, the world, and our conception of the world, in philosophy. That is to say the relationship between mind, language, and world.
Or... The relationship between the way the world is, our conception of the world (to do with our experience of the world) and what we can articulate about the world, or the way the world is.
Sort of three things... And trying to get clearer on the role of each. And how those things can come apart...
I think that hallucinagens... In fact, drugs, generally, help us get clearer on the role that the mind plays in the experience of reality.
I mean... Mind altering substances.
Not reality altering substances.
Mind altering substances.
Help us get clearer on the contribution of... The power of... The mind. IN the experience of... The interpretation of.. Reality.
My concern is that we blame the victim... Blame them for not putting their mind right...
When we force them into environments or circumstances..
Where anybody (in their right mind) would be profoundly... Unhappy.
That is to say... When leaders... Governments... Find people unhappy with the lot that the leaders or government has decided is right for them... Then the leaders say the people are 'mentally ill' and they proscribe medication. They proscribe involuntary incarceration...
Rather than paying a living wage etc.
