You may have heard about psychedelics (psilocybin in particular) as a therapy for mental discomfort. If so, do some reading about the nature of the experience. Users report “feeling the ego dissolve – it’s still there, just not in control anymore.” Brain activity scans show that under the influence, disconnected centers of the brain start to exchange information. While the effect doesn’t last, patients later report that they are more sensitive to “life energy” in things that they previously considered inanimate.
