When you realize that everything "we" see is common hallucination, then it will all make sense. The human mind creates the image of a tree, the eye just takes in the light. Change the eye or the mind and our hallucination changes.

So these mushrooms change the mind in a very specific way, but no more strange than putting on red tinted glasses.

Speaking as someone who has involuntary hallucinations, this is a reality taken for granted by most people. I have very different hallucinations when I am dep[ressed vs when I am manic. And you are on the right track in my opinion that "the drug induces the same reaction in a human body, no matter its location."

Yes, you've discovered archetypes. Go read Jung's Red Book, none of this is new.

Sort of but not really. I’m talking about actions, not why patterns appear in culture. I don’t really think “archetypes” quite captures the meaning.

More like Eigenvectors/-modes of the mind, which certain stimuli amplify into resonance
