Philosophy is the study or creation of theories about the nature of existence (ontology), knowledge (epistemology), or how people should live their lives.
Psychedelics have proven to be an integral part of our understanding of many world philosophies. Even Plato — one of the earliest philosophers — was thought to have derived his insights from a substance called kykeon — which many scholars believe was a psychoactive substance.
Our ego is what allows us to differentiate the "self" from "other." Ego death or dissolution is the experience of losing the ego to achieve a greater connection with the present moment.
