Why Self-Develop?

In this episode, we discuss why someone should want to self-develop, and how that actually differs from self-improvement. We unpack what it is, why it's important, how someone can do it, what the pitfalls are, and finally, how psychedelics can be used for it. Just an important distinction, at one point we say that self-development is a higher order category that can be broken down into self-development and self-love. Upon further consideration the higher order category is better described as self-love, and the two elements are self-development and self-acceptance. We hope you enjoy.

As is always the case, psychedelics are not a toy. Please use them responsibly. We can only speak to our own psychological and spiritual evolution, we cannot speak to yours. If you have mental health issues please seek a professional. There is no shame in getting help and you will never be judged for your problems. We wish you the best in life and in mental health.
