Consciousness and psilocybin
We will probably never be able to explain exactly what consciousness is with certainty. Yet it is a beautiful philosophical and spiritual topic to discuss during a truffle ceremony or psychedelic session. During the psychedelic state, the rational mind, the ego, or consciousness, is deactivated, causing one's own interpretation of oneself (ego) to disappear, leaving only the experience. The subconscious processes that drive consciousness are thus brought more to light.
Consciousness is a mystery
There are several theories about consciousness and how perhaps our consciousness gives us the convenient illusion of survival by thinking we are different from the rest of the universe.
The origin of consciousness
The following video explains how consciousness might have emerged gradually through evolution.
Various theories about consciousness
The following video shows what others think about consciousness. Scientists and believers, of course, have different views, and one doesn't necessarily exclude the other.
Consciousness and the ego as illusion?
The next video is about Samadhi. Samadhi originates from Buddhism and is a deep state of meditation, comparable to the psychedelic state, where the ego dissolves and there is no longer any distinction between inside and outside. This may help to dispel the illusion that everything is individual and self-contained.
Psychedelics provide a glimpse behind the scenes
Besides their therapeutic potential, psychedelics can provide insights into the meaning of consciousness and the subconscious. The following video provides a good overview of the effects of psychedelics and hallucinations.

Spiritual, therapeutic or exploratory trip?
Are you curious about who you are without your ego giving it meaning? We can help by facilitating a psychedelic session with the theme: "Who am I?" This theme is primarily spiritual in nature, but it can be very therapeutic for negative self-images and fear of death. What would be your reason for a psychedelic session, and would you prefer to do it individually, with a self-assembled group, or with an open group of strangers?
