I have noticed that when I take a dose of psychedelic mushrooms my deepest insights come not in the maelstrom of the dramatic visuals and body load, but afterwards, in the calmness that comes afterwards, when seemingly the 'trip' has passed.

This to me seems like the most psychologically and spiritually useful phase. Are there ways that I can only or predominantly enter or create this type of state, this 'insightful period' without having to go through the dramatic phase?

To be clear, I am not talking about microdosing, which is a different thing entirely.

I think what I am asking is if this 'insightful phase' is a state that can be created in itself or it is only something that comes after higher doses?

This sub seems like the best place to post this.
What is it with Cross Country trains?

They screech like fuckery every tike the pull in and pull out from the station. Literally ear-piercing so i have to put my fingers in my ears.

They absolutely stink of diesel fumes whilst sitting at the platform.

No other trains do this. Its always the Cross Country trains and only ever the Cross Country trains (in my experience).

Why is this? Is there a reason? Is the stock that Cross Country uses different in some way?

And yes: i previously posted calling them Virgin trains because i am clearly an idiot who half looked at the branding colours and not the name! Sorry!
