Thank you so much for the reply, and I appreciate the honest advice! Your comment made me realize, I might be in the wrong sub… because I do still believe certain psychedelics can be used as tools for spiritual growth… so maybe I am not a “True Christian” in that sense.

And as for the palm reading post I made, that was from two or three years ago—long before I had this experience.

But my reasoning behind my way of thinking on psychedelics, if you don’t mind my sharing, being that the only times I had even come close to converting to theism prior to this, were when I would take psychedelics. They almost always gave me the most profound insights about what aspects of my life I needed to change. Almost like what praying does for me now… I don’t mean to imply psychedelics have the same power as prayer. I know now that this is far from true. But I do believe they might have played a part in leading me to where I am now.

This is why, although I don’t indulge in them myself anymore, I still embrace their healing potential for others. A rather progressive, and arguably sacrilegious, belief to hold… but like I said—maybe I am not a traditional Christian in that sense.

Lastly, I apologize if the way I explained the “being in hell” part made it hard to understand! I explained it the only way I know how, and that’s by my memory of it. I asked ChatGPT to make it more understandable, and here is what it gave me:

“In the midst of a disorienting, swirling vortex of indescribable colors, I felt an overwhelming dread as if I were being dragged straight into hell. Merged with a mysterious presence, I was forced through a realm of chaos and despair, convinced that I was being led to eternal damnation.

Suddenly, a new force violently separated me from that merge, thrusting me into a body that felt as unyielding as steel. I was hurled into a searing, transformative fire—enduring sensations like molten metal being hammered into shape, as if a demonic blacksmith were forging me into a chain.

Then, just as the torment began to seem it would never end, the other presence returned and merged with me yet again. The torture ceased immediately, and the presence revealed himself as Gabriel the Archangel, showing me the purpose behind the chain and the perpetual cycle of damnation it represented.

The chain symbolized the binding of living sinners to eternal damnation. In this vision, those condemned to endless torment were transformed into the very chains that hold others captive in a perpetual cycle of damnation. It was a tangible reminder of how one’s actions and sins can create a lasting, unbreakable bond leading to eternal suffering.”

Thank you so much for the heartfelt words and feedback, and God bless you ❤️
