Would you elaborate on that conclusion for me please?
for instance, if i am trying to break a bad habit or adopt a new change in life style but am feeling cognitive resistance/dissonance/whatever from the change then a DXM trip often will help me make the change. it helps with the whole "out with the old, in with the new" thing. during and after the trip i just focus my thoughts/energy/awareness/whatever in the appropriate direction to make the change i'm aiming for, and the change is more concrete, permanent, and welcomed.
DXM is not good if i am just in a rut and can't figure out how to get out of it, however. in that case it typically makes things worse. either by feeding delusions or just by enabling my procrastination.
however, if i am in a rut in my life and don't know what to do to fix it, a psychedelic will often times help rev up my thought process enough that i can figure out my problems. it doesn't always help however, but it often does.
supposedly depression/bad moods can make it so that you are cognitively impaired. psychedelics help lift my occasional cloud of depression enough that i can see my life more clearly. you have to want to change though! its not just an autopilot thing, you still have to do it yourself!
