That fits with the analogy that I use, that psychedelics are like a helicopter - they allow you to zoom out and realize that there is a path to the top of the mountain (assuming you're stuck/walking in circles). But once the effects wear off it's up to you to remember where to go

I'm writing a book about exactly the point you're getting at: that there is no better questions that get at the experience of being human than our ability to ask ourselves the following two questions:
(1) Where am I? / What the heck is going on?
(2) Where am I going to go next? / What am I going to do about it?
Sorry if this seems overly esoteric, but I really appreciate seeing applications of my thesis in the wild. Cheers
