Honestly, I don't hate all of the messages. If you're taking all that literally, though, you're probably nuts.
The other thing is it's not exactly like the matrix is made to be broken. People have been talking about the concept of Maya, that the world as presented to us is nothing but an illusion meant to keep us trapped, for thousands of years.
They claim that the enlightened people the bodhisattvas the jesus's and Muhammad's have broken through the illusion and stayed back to help guide us along the way.
Which is all well and good but that does not mean that breaking the illusion is easy. It doesn't even mean necessarily that it is possible because first you have to prove that an illusion exists and then you have to prove that there is a way to break it, and most people, I believe, go mad along the way.
I said all of that to say, if you find a way to break out of the matrix please for the love of God show me the way.
Most people would take this as a bad advice... But psychedelics are somehow keys to unlock the "illusion".
A psychedelic trip is more than a simple illusion or trip. Some people have a life changing experience, contact with outter space beings, travelling on other states of consciousness...
People have a tendency to see those plants as dangerous or as addictive recreational drugs. Just because the media/science/law said so, but those substances are tools to explore your inner/outer-self and they are afraid that you reconnect with your inner intuition.
This would mean no corporate greed anymore, no war, no hate speech, no money, no slaves to build their empire on our workforce...
I'm 100% sure if every one would take those substances this would shift our global consciousness to something more pure, connected to every living being on earth, and treat it with respect !
But most of us are just brainwashed ego diluated beings, divided into smaller chunks of human race. Whatever you're, black, yellow, white, LGTBX... We all came from the same star dust, from a single point of singularity.
But yeah... that can be to much for some people and they can go crazy, specially if you have a higher ego. When your ego breaks down, you will feel empty and that can sometimes lead to mental instability, because you always thought that you were something special, when actually you are just like everyone else.
I do not encourage anyone to do it, but If you do, the most important part is to educate yourself, read great books about some erudit ethnobotanist, read the most recent studies on how they can elevate your well being, reduce your stress, addiction, and how/why those were used through history of time.

From what I understand, psychedelics facilitate the connection of different areas of the brain which don't ordinarily speak to each other. This can be a profoundly spiritual experience, as it tends to be for me, but it will more or less FORCE you to deal with any issues you might have, which can be a terrifying experience for some people.
Yes that's true, that's also one part of the process. You will face your fears, issues, anxiety and other dark things hidden somewhere in your brain.
This always has to be a personal choice and educate yourself before doing something that might go wrong.
In most case, singing, breathing will help you out... That's way I do not encourage anyone, It's not easy and It can hit you really hard.
My own advice is always to make sure you do it in a controlled environment where you can adjust the level of stimulation (lights, music, etc) at will, and make sure you have an experienced friend to take care of you.
