“Culture has a framework around therapy it doesn’t have for shamanistic / cosmological / entheogenic use” https://t.co/KwdL77jbWg
why? because to say it’s for therapy still puts the user in a box, where the person outside the box, “the therapist”, “the authority” is now supposed to help the person, and a codependent interaction occurs
“healing” is a safe box. it says, “look at me!” im trying to be normal https://t.co/Pg2PDiecsm https://t.co/MWyfLoTyFU
it’s a role that exists within the culture, and so you can talk about these substances, while staying within the vocabulary and awareness of the culture you never have to leave the comfy, codependent feeling of having the awareness of the culture around you
a clearer phrasing: it’s about the eros https://t.co/j6N6M7GOkM
