1. Change is usually not a lot of fun
2. Leaving one's comfort zone is seldom enjoyable
3. One must frequently make drastic changes outside of his or her comfort zone in order to attain enlightenment and improve his or her quality of life
4. People frequently go on the defensive when confronted with change and ideas that threaten change
5. People act on an instinctive level to avoid the unknown and return to their comfort zone as quickly as possible
6. People may become angry, aggressive, and seem to act irrationally when outside of their comfort zone
7. When ingested, psychedelics knock people out of their comfort zones in order to precipitate life changes, enlightenment, and confrontation of painful issues
8. An uninformed, unprepared person may take psychedelics recreationally, expecting to "get fucked up", but instead observes the death of his ego
9. With no one to guide him, he incorrectly blames his unpleasant experience on the drug and not his own ignorance, arrogance, and lack of preparation
10. Little does he know that what has scared him so badly is only the realization of the awesome power of his own mind
11. Ego death can be frightening, especially when it is experienced in the wrong setting and with an unprepared mind, body and soul
12. However, using psychedelics responsibly to attain enlightenment is perhaps the most positive and meaningful thing a person can do for his mind, body, soul, and community
