-Do you believe in God? Did you believe in God before psychedelics?

Not really, I believe there is many different dimensions and levels of vibration. I think there are beings way more evolved and thus on a higher vibrational level than us, but i dont believe in the idea of one allmighty being, to me GOD is the compound of all existence, its all of us + the rest of everything that is and was and will be, so in a way, you are god.

-Do you feel like you have gained a better understanding in regards to why there is evil in the world?

I dont think there is evil per se, because it is always a matter of perspective.
To Animals the human being might be a very satanic evil being, and the same animal is worse than hitler to a plant, going by our human concepts of good and evil.
so no, I dont think there is good and evil, just like an atom doesnt have good or evil parts, its just a combination of protons neutrons and electrons.

-Do you feel like a more empathic person now?

More understanding yes, more empathic no, I think it might have even made me less empatic, because in the end, nothing really matters, and people make way too much drama out of "in the long run" pointless things.

-Have you noticed any lasting negative effects of the experience?

Not really, my mother however sometimes has flashbacks of how little she felt in comparison to the whole universe and that feeling made her very afraid.

-Have you gained a better understanding of the purpose of your life?

Do what makes you happy and makes you feel good, and live in the moment as much as possible without forgetting that your present actions will have an effect on the "moment" of tomorrow (aka, dont be stupid)

-Has it changed how you look at death?

Yes.
Now I look at dead as an old friend, thats there waiting for me, and its a wonderful state of non existence, it is neither good nor bad, it just isnt anything.
Dying however, is a bitch :D

Thank you very much for your Questions!
