I miss last year. I felt much more spiritually aligned and healthy mind and body. I am getting back there. One upshot compared from now to then is that my body is physically MUCH stronger than it was a year ago. I can physically lift more and exert more force and my body feels more solid and resistent to damage.
Also Dondante, although it is a continuum this does not necessarily mean that humans cannot conceptualize it in a way of notches and divisions (clear cut divisions maybe or perhaps divisions with a 'penumbra' including vague cases). You're right that is something we do to reality, but of course what we do to reality should be considered in our ontology just as much as an 'objective' physical reality devoid of categories/divisions (a fundamentally unified force to use a term of art).
My main idea in pointing out the human constructed division between breakthrough and non-breakthrough trip is to reveal the utter folly of focusing on these sorts of conceptualization and return the focus to the immediate moment, the peak moment of the drug experience no matter what dosage it is at. The difference between normal consciousness and 'altered' consciousness or our consciousness and other animal's consciousness is not a difference in kind, rather than a difference in degree (like you have said elsewhere). All degress of consciousness are beautiful and unique, no one degree is more 'normal' than another (from a standpoint restricted to necessary claims at least).
Let's return to the point of complete and utter ecstasy and orgiastic tantric BLISS. This is the primary message of the psychedelic experience as far as I am concerned. Merging with the unity of Samadhi. Becoming the blissful moment.
