Letting GO of What Once Was | The Pain of Nostalgia

Welcome to Shadow Ascent! 🌟
In this heartfelt video, join me on a deeply personal journey of self-discovery and realization. Four years ago, I underwent a beautiful and profound mushroom journey that sparked a spiritual awakening, and I've come to the realization that it's time to let go.
As I drove to work, a song played on a Spotify recommended playlist taking me back to the soundtrack of my first and only solo mushroom journey. The bittersweet tones of the music stirred memories of a time filled with profound experiences and emotions. Tears flowed as I revisited that transformative moment, realizing that clinging to the desire to relive the past was holding me back from embracing the person I've become.
While I cherish the fond memories of that period, it's essential to acknowledge that I am no longer the same person I was back then. This video captures the raw emotions of letting go, breaking free from the chains of nostalgia, and embracing the beauty of the present.
Join me in this cathartic experience, and perhaps, you too will find inspiration to release the grip of the past and embrace the ever-evolving journey of self-discovery. Life is a series of chapters, and it's okay to turn the page.

The period of my psychedelic adventures was the most moving and profound period of my life so far, by FAR. I slowly grew frightened of the power and energy that was aroused within me through doing the psychedelics, and began to back away, taking time to really integrate and sit with the things that happened throughout it. I feel you 100% man, and I just wanna say that it’s not gone, it’s still within you. The fact that you can cry at the nostalgia of that experience shows that it hasn’t left you at all. It’s still right here. Your heart is still here, your joy is still here, your light and exuberance is still here. It’s all ebbing and flowing, and all we are doing is growing. Thank you for sharing this homie. Again, I really can relate. 80% of my music playlist is mind-blowingly nostalgic to the long, mesmerizing nights of being with the psychedelics. So much has changed about us bro. So much. And it’s for the better. Om 🤍🌌

I appreciate you man. Everything you said is essentially what I’ve experienced similarly. It is for the better. You’ve been there with us since the beginning and I’m really looking forward to talking again.
