Awesome analogy with a "tuning fork", and i agree that there are many ways to reach a higher state of mind than simply ingesting magic mushrooms. I think they should be considered a tool for those who are unable to break out of their mental box.
Imprinting is also an interesting way to look at this. I read a book on brain placticity a few years ago about how people create certain pathways in the brain. The book explored ways to disrupt old (negative) pathways and build new ones. It might be similar to what you've mentioned here.
Thanks for commenting :)
Yes, a tool for those who need them in the moment. A decent approach might be to take them once a year in a sacred way and to intend to evolve to a state that simply doesn't gain any benefit from them any more.
Imprinting is a topic I am still exploring, but the essence is that our electromagnetic self can become shaped and disrupted by certain experiences and decisions, such that we become 'stuck' in those limited and un-natural patterns until we understand how to clear them and go ahead to do that. Clearing imprints requires a combination of emotional expression and changes of thinking.
You are welcome! This area is really my main field of interest. -:)
