Brain scans reveal how LSD affects consciousness
Pretty cool. I&#x27;d like to point out that meditation might have a similar dampening effect on the default mode network as well. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;25904238" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;25904238</a><p>The question arises again, can psychedelics have lasting effects or is meditation the only way to create permanent positive change in that direction?<p>Finally, a quote from a letter to Osho: &quot;Many people are experimenting with the drug ecstasy. I heard you say once that a lie is sweet in the beginning and bitter in the end, and truth is bitter in the beginning, and sweet in the end. I have been meditating, but I don&#x27;t have the experiences people report from the drug ecstasy. Is the drug like the lie, and meditation the truth? Or am I missing something that could really help me?&quot;
