Establish your expectations before preparing for a psychedelic experience.

\\u201cYou can\\u2019t really know where you\\u2019re going until you know where you\\u2019ve been.\\u201d \\u2015 Maya Angelou

Recognize that to find greater potential in your life, you need to have a view of your world that allows for more. There are other ways of thinking within our own culture which we commonly denigrate, dismiss, or overlook. One of these commonly denigrated views is magical thinking.

The first step to progress in any issue we don\\u2019t understand is recognizing that we don\\u2019t understand. Rather than looking for solutions, because there won\\u2019t be any solutions, the key is re-envisioning the problem. In this, magical thinking can be illuminating because magical thinking is essentially emotional thinking.

What you need is not so much a goal but a connection with the values most important to you. You want to be unencumbered; carry only your most fundamental values and detach from what\\u2019s material. Don\\u2019t ask for resolution, pursue illumination.
