The book also goes at length to explain how silly this must all sound if you haven't tried psychedelics. The author himself was skeptical until he tried them. You remain a skeptic about something you haven't even tried, somehow attributing it to masculinity and saying women are just born with this larger perception. Sort of a silly comment.
I agree with A on this. You can be a skeptic put your attributions seem way off the mark here. As with all things, you'll receive the most benefit if you enter into the book with an open mind.
Suzanne, your "eye-rolling" along with your Kerouac/Easy Rider references are perfect examples of someone having a strong, fixed opinion about something they have no experience of....hence the title of the book - How To Change Your Mind.

I haven't done any re-birthing sort of things, but I do remember being fed eggs from a plate when I was a baby in a high chair. Do you think that's possible or is my mind making it up?
