ANECDOTE

STP Trip That Revealed a Dead Void

  • Ram Dass described an STP experience where life felt like a flat, silent void and even a lecture felt motionless and frozen.
  • He later repeated the drug in Taos, fasted, and again hit the same dead place before finding a shift by saying "and this too".
ADVICE

Use And This Too To Release Psychedelic Blockage

  • Embrace both extremes during altered states by saying "and this too" to release blockage and allow transformation.
  • Ram Dass taught this as a practical shift that turned his desert STP terror into dawning light and acceptance.
INSIGHT

Embrace All Visions To Transcend While Remaining Present

  • Embracing the "ten thousand horrible visions and the ten thousand beautiful visions" is the doorway to go beyond nature while remaining in it.
  • This paradox means full engagement with life paired with non-attachment leads to transcendence.
