psychopomp

the schism between psychosis and creativity is a narrow, yet very deep one. LSD bridges the two but provides a very weak foothold. the mindhold is even weaker -- a balancing act featuring serotonin and dopamine. god knows what else. then it hits you: you're tripping. this is it, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. but that's a risky corridor to transit. accept it. embrace it. open your eyes and bask in the sensory overload. your mind can handle it. hell, your mind is fabricating it. and that's probably the most fascinating part of it all.

except not yet. there's still the ego erasure, the exodus of identity and the genesis of ... what? you don't know. but it's some sort of understanding. it's not the way you see the universe; it's the way the universe sees you. it's the most serene peace, the purest beauty.
