"The effect of psychedelics on the mind has a neuroscientifically understood impact. It shuts down the normative capacity of your brain. You’re left with sensory input, motor control and active thinking. Therefore you are not experiencing an incorrect reality, you are experiencing the same reality but without normative thinking filtering it for you. The block on normative thinking is what allows troubled thinkers to form new thoughts and beliefs. Because the normative thinking habits are disabled, they no longer interfere with the mind’s capacity to process new ideas."
