I liked the post. I read the book a couple of years ago and loved it.
One small thing:
"A lot of the time, I’ve come to not take my emotions very seriously. I can feel that when I fall asleep in a psychedelic state, very aware of all the emotions going on inside me, and wake up the next morning with that awareness turned way down."
In a psychedelic state emotions are generated with a stronger intensity (neurobiologically speaking) in a similar way that emotions are usually stronger during childhood & puberty (a time when hormones and the brain are "on fire") than adulthood - it has not necessarily something to do with greater awareness of them

Happy to hear that Moritz! 😊
That's a great addition, I didn't think about that distinction! 💚
