Syndeogens: Psychedelics as Connection-Generating Agents

I previously wrote about how we can think of psychedelics as <a href="https://chemical-collective.com/blog/psychedelics-as-trickster-chemicals/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">trickster chemicals</a>, based on how their effects often align with the attributes of the trickster archetype. This is not meant to replace other terms for psychedelics, such as entheogen or medicine, but merely supplement them. But there are other unique and common effects that psychedelics have, and I think enhanced connection is one that particularly stands out. This is not just increased connectedness in the sense of feeling more connected to others; this effect also applies to the brain, our ideas, the self, nature, the world, the present moment, something greater than ourselves, and reality. I would therefore like to propose the term syndeogen as an alternative (but not replacement) for psychedelic. This derives from the Greek words syndeo (meaning ‘connect’) and genésthai (meaning ‘to come into being’ or ‘generate’); thus syndeogen means ‘connection generating’. Drawing on research and insights from the field of psychedelic science and therapy, we can make the case for psychedelics as connection-generating agents. <a href="https://samwoolfe.medium.com/syndeogens-psychedelics-as-connection-generating-agents-393a957db205">Visit Now</a>
