Psychedelics can do amazing things for the headspace but this is one of the areas where I’ll say “get to where you can do it without it”
I’ve had profound evocation experiences on Weed, Psilocybin, LSD, and DMT. Nearly every time I get strong spirit contact. It opens your senses wide and you sense the spiritual far better
Some say MDMA can do similar things, I don’t understand it though
Cocaine and the like? …no. Sure you might feel like you invoked a god and tell everyone you are (your favorite diety) incarnate, but you also might be the type of person to get half the room hating you after you’re 12 lines deep repeating the same thing 6 times and have no idea because that’s kind of what it does.
I’ve done evocations on Pre-workout with DMAA and it’s not ideal. You can’t relax and go into trance. Your skillz don’t matter at all at that point because your CNS is artificially redlined and no your will can’t bring it down or else you wouldn’t do drugs you’d just pump your state there at will.
Subjective synthesis is huge, your belief and ability to emotion the whole ritual plays a huge part but you’re also working with other consciousness during evocation. They don’t mix well with that headspace when it comes to formal contact. You might channel some quite well from there but Coke is going to merge you with your experience, not pull you from it.
Observing your own ego, introspection. Not flights of ideas and sudden boundless confidence. Those are results, not rituals themselves.
Psychedelics mimic Theta Gamma Synch. Stimulants are Alpha/Gamma waves all the way. No theta to be found. No trance. Just go go go.
I’d avoid it. Definitely don’t make it a regular part of your practice unless you need deeper wisdom (they always hear you, you might need more confidence in hearing them)
If you want to mix enthogens with your practice I’m a very big fan of DMT. Nothing can prepare you for it, and I actually heard Belial for the first time when I went there. You’ll get a flash of insight that’s exactly the one thing you need to hear in that moment. Then you’ll feel like waking from a dream
THC can do crazy cool things too but spiral out too far and you might wake up to a bunch of answers in a journal spaced in between stuff you thought was profound at the time
My personal favorites:
“The sandy beaches of Eternity”
“Time is folding in on itself. Infinitesimals at Yin and Yang” (…what?)
“I’m going to save humanity with Porn!”
Fun stuff, you’ll see. Worth it if you can laugh at yourself after you forget the slightest clue what trip you were on.
You also might craft a truly genius way through a huge problem with a very simple answer that side steps every issue in a big area of your life. I bypassed a huge business problem and sent a text to my business partner at 3 am that fixed a critical issue that would have ended the company.
Whatever they are, space it out. Otherwise it’s just another trip, keep it special and it will be
