Dr. Dan Siegel (speaking in a Fleet Maull YouTube upload) describes how psychedelic-assisted therapy can open people out of a felt sense of separateness ('solo self') into a plane of connection characterized by open awareness, presence, love, and resulting subjective textures such as gratitude, compassion, and awe. He emphasizes integrating that state into daily life beyond formal practices or sessions.

Chapters

I think what psychedelic assisted therapy is doing is opening all of us professionally and those who are privileged enough to get the clinical treatment that's so effective, but opening us all up to dropping out of these plateaus of the lie, of the separate, what's called solo self. And when we access that plane of possibility, what do you feel? It's the acronym Coal connection, which he felt, this open awareness which we could call presence and love. And imagine if every day you can start living throughout the day, not just when you're meditating, or not just when you're on psychedelics, or not just when you're doing some little practice, but you start to tap into that plane of possibility. Then gratitude, compassion, awe, those are just kind of the subjective textures.
