Those early days were instrumental to me opening the doors of perception for sure and I don't regret it. I think you'd probably learn more with a guide rather than going into the chaos fields solo, which did cause a few people I know to disappear both physically and mentally or both too.

I've been doing work with a reiki healer and I dont think I could do half the work without drugs (let's call it what it is) having opened those doors to begin with.
