I don't buy a lot of people. So when someone gets into the new age spiritual realm, we have to consider that their psychology wants to prove and confirm and validate that there is a spiritual realm, that there are spirits out there, that there is a higher power, an innate greater intelligence in the universe. It's so beyond my comprehension because I've never even done plant medicine.
