Great post. I'm a huge advocate of Shroom healing after listening to Terrance Mckenna. I would do it if I could find it.

I have done four rituals with San Pedro (affectionately referred to as the cousin to Ayahuasca), it's legal in the US, and I had some beautiful spiritual experiences. I have yet to experience an ego death, though.

If you really want to accelerate your awakening, investigate Ayahuasca. If you can't get down to South America, you can find a legal Aya ceremony in the States via the Santo Diame church (I do not advocate these parties where they experiment with it, you have no idea what you are getting and I do not advise doing it without a shaman or spiritual advisor that can walk you through a bad trip, should you have one.)

Message me, if interested, and I will tell you the location. The Santo Diame do not advertise as they had to fight the government for the right to perform the ritual, and the government is looking for any opportunity to shut them down. So they try to keep the thrill seekers out as they might do something stupid and draw negative attention and get them shut down.

Tons of great research emerging these days on this subject. I love that more people than ever are becoming aware of these sacred healing plants. Keep spreading the word. Thanks for posting!
