I think this is pretty accurate. I think psychedelics are basically like the electrical box in your house, but for your brain. You can flip the breakers and see what happens with different circuits disabled. Since normally everything in your brain operates simultaneously this can be very instructive for learning what's happening.

Once you come back to sobriety, you can then use what you saw to start training yourself to move your attention between those circuits, giving you basically better brain control.

Neural nets are trained on the tiniest tiniest slices of human experiences so their feedback has a similar character to partly disabled brains.
