• A large part of our 31.10 identity is built on the unique time and space we occupy. Time and space provide context and establish shared reference points between people. Stability, especially in our identities, requires that we stay connected to our location in history.
  • This reaffirms my assumption that contextualization is identity work.
  • Part of the way we build — or, perhaps, immerse ourselves in context is by reorienting to time and space. Healing is reorientation, and dialogue can be a tool for reorientation.
  • Dickinson says that one way to reorient is through the intentional use of psychedelic plants, but I’m curious if it’s that psychedelic plants expand the opportunity for dialogue… Like, the plant itself doesn’t heal you, but psychedelics give you the opportunity to commune with the self.
