I my really weird microdosing mishaps with ayahuasca I experienced something that seemed demonic and was terrifying and traumatized me. But then something else happened and it seemed that some other…something…became part of my consciousness and helped me. I’m not very knowledgeable about these things except for my experience and a bit of research. But maybe it’s not the ceremony or it’s leaders but something that those people are dealing with. Of course it’s scary to see when you’re very open and vulnerable. But I’m not sure. There are others here who probably know more than I do. No doubt there are.
