Recently I was sick and in pain and in fear and I felt this super-empathy/sympathy with humanity, like I was a saint. It’s like fearing death and suddenly you dont care about your childhood enemies, and that sort of thing.
BUt now I’m healthier so I am back to being the same old Sass in the A$$.
So how can I achieve this empathy zen thing again? Without the pain.
If you watch documentaries about LSD and also about shrooms, people who use them report feeling an all-encompassing connection to the whole universe, mankind included, both during the trip and for the rest of their lives.
Alternatively, you could pursue a serious path of religious meditation.
