Shawn Ryan on his podcast has been open about going through psychedelic treatment. A lot of guys out of that world have. I know some of them. And the accounts keep landing in the same place. Something was in the room. Something spoke.

I don't think they're lying.

The old Reformed Christians had a category for this and it wasn't "bad trip." Pharmakeia in Galatians sits right next to idolatry and sorcery. The problem was never the plant. It was going looking for a door God already nailed shut.

What bothers me more is the fascination. Encounter turned into episodes, told and retold. The tradition treated curiosity about the demonic as part of the same sin, not a safe balcony seat above it.

But I won't tell you a man is guaranteed to pick something up because he sat in a ceremony. Nobody gets to promise that. Job 1 is the whole framework for this. Nothing moves without permission from the throne, and the enemy is a creature on a leash, not a second god.

Some of what gets reported has ordinary causes too. Depersonalization is real. So is psychosis that was already loaded and waiting. Providence runs through secondary causes and the honest answer is usually that you don't know which one you're looking at.

The remedy Christianity offers is boring on purpose. Repentance. The Word preached. Prayer. A church that knows your name. No formulas, no binding sessions, nothing you perform.

Not a hair falls without the Father's will. That covers the ceremony and everything that came home with you. #ToChristAlone
