I have a hard time understanding people who can conceive that mental awareness but do not possess it. Surely the leap isn't that great.

Bad trips inevitably end. The drug runs its course. Yeah, maybe it seems like forever, but even if you truly believe you are lost you're still going to come back eventually.

    many people are absolutely terrified of relinquishing any type of perceived control over their reality.

It's not like we have control over reality anyway. You said "perceived control" so maybe you understand.

Think of it this way: you have more control in the creative state given by psychedelics than you do in the numbed state given by alcohol, or the normal state of sobriety.
