Hello!
I love Studio Ghibli movies and I always watch them sober and them under the influence of psychedelics.
There is a type of spirit that lives in the forest and they are very iconic:
This spirit is super interesting to me because it personifies one of the most fantastic aspects of our cognition system that is strongly highlighted during the psychedelic experience.
Whatever activity you engage in will be projected in your mind and this pattern (of the activity you are engaged in) will be highlighted in the outside world.
When the character is curious and suspicious the spirits will be suspicious and curious.
When the character is walking, the elves will be shown walking.
When the character is carrying someone, the spirits will be shown carrying each other.
This happens because nature is a full bowl rich in patterns and humans are biologically programmed to find these patterns and bring them to consciousness.
Once you look for a pattern, your cognition will automatically highlight the incidences of this pattern on the elements of nature around you.
One way to induce your body to look for a pattern is to engage in a certain activity that has certain characteristics and these characteristics will be highlighted by your cognition system.
For example, if you are going through a hard time but are fighting to get back on your feet, you may see a tree that fell down but still continued growing and now is making its way back up.
I think it is very hard to control what insights and epiphanies we will have, especially because insights and satori-like thoughts are unexpected and impossible to predict (by definition).
But we can induce a certain kind of pattern recognition.
For example, I like to go very far away from my home, consume the psychedelic substance and walk back home.
I plan the duration of the walk to be the most of the peak, ending the walk with me going home where I engage in creative flow-inducing activities, like drawing.
I do this because walking is a progressive activity that is cyclical (step after step) and persistent. In this way, my thoughts will follow the same pattern, cyclical and persistent, and I find this state of mind to be perfect for the kind of mental activity I'm interested in during a psychedelic experience.
When I arrive home I get comfortable and start drawing or playing video games. The important is that I get myself into a state of flow and that I continue the progressive and constructive pattern so that I can work on my thoughts in a way that is constructive and progressive.
I am posting here because I want to have more insights about this and I honestly think that psychonauts have a privileged perspective on this subject.
Have a good trip!

In the movie Princess Mononoke:
