Terminal phase of life
Our society views death as something negative. It is the end of everything and we often cannot cope well with it. People who almost die can experience a lot of stress from not knowing what will happen next. Psychedelic therapy can help in this form of psilocybin therapy. A good psilocybin session can trigger acceptance. Isn’t death just the beginning of something else? Is palliative care in the Netherlands good enough to be prepared properly? Is death a transition to something else?
Documentary about psilocybin therapy
The next documentary about psilocybin therapy also addresses helping people with a terminal illness such as cancer or people who, due to old age, are nearing the end of their lives.
Trip level 5
The effects discussed in the video are, in our opinion, mainly due to high doses of psilocybin, which cause a trip level 5. Trip level 5 is the strongest trip there is. Our description of the trip is as follows:
”Total loss of visual connection with reality; the senses no longer work in the “normal” way. A total loss of ego. Users feel themselves merging with the space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality is so severe that it is difficult to explain or put into words. This level differs from the other levels in that the actual universe in which things exist ceases to exist. During this phase, there is no control whatsoever possible. The connection with the subconscious is at its maximum. There is nothing to hide. It is, so to speak, a dream that cannot be influenced by yourself. This phase can give you insights in a way that is initially incomprehensible. Trip-seekers often call the trip experiences mystical, the most beautiful experience of their lives, or even frightening. Especially control freaks find it scary, but even bad trips can be avoided or instructive. However, it is not wise to start doing triplevel 5 immediately without experience.“
The reason why trip level 5 works so well with end-of-life stress is because the ego, the awareness that you exist as a separate entity, completely dissolves. Of course, death has the same effect as well, at least that’s what we think.
What else can you do with trip level 5?
When When we guide a trip, we look at the personal situation and the personal goals. Triplevel 5 is the highest triplevel available. We do not usually use triplevel 5 with clients who have no experience with psychedelics. Triplevel 5 is so intense and sometimes so incomprehensible that only when “landed” can things start to fall into place. You usually only do triplevel 5 when you are ready to lose all control to the subconscious mind. We use triplevel 5 with clients who find an extreme approach necessary to get rid of fear, severe depression and to want to feel love for life again. After this trip, clients are fully in touch with themselves again because during triplevel 5 that contact is completely severed.
