Not to be critical to hypesession...just a differing perspective spurred by the same topic:
I think most people who consider psychedelics to be a source of sacred realization in their lives, including Steve Jobs, are people who get lost in their own heads and lose touch with many aspects of their interaction with the world. As a result, they become more creative, but only because their focus shifts. This is why you won't see many successful engineers who talk about visiting the shroom kingdom, but tons of artists, poets, writers, and musicians make it a central aspect of their life.
Maybe what I'm getting at is, everything you do in life should be tailored to what you want. You know you're headed somewhere good when you feel two things:
1) a burning, consuming desire for something better
2) terror and fatigue on the path to achieving it
Nothing good comes easy. That's my red pill realization. All the people who talk about aspirations, let them talk. Shift their attitudes out of your vantage. Put your shoulder to your own self, and push.
