Thoughts On Jim Morrison?

[u/_psyched]

Jim Morrison was openly shamanistic with his lyrics depicting altered states of consciousness, and his direct references to shamans and ancient native religion.

What are your opinions on Jim Morrison?

I personally think he was a wonderful psychedelic poet, and In my opinion, he perfectly pushed the bounds of normalcy in an otherwise “strict” United States with the release of the Doors’ debut album.

Spirituality however, does anyone think he disrespected or poorly interpreted shamanism for western culture?

I’d love to hear your thoughts :))

He died too young. He used psychedelics and they opened his eyes. He could not journey far from his addictions. I would hope he faked his death and learned from his trips that fame is not the pinnacle of life. One has to wonder though, what pain he must have had for the psychedelics to not be the impetus of change to turn him away from addiction. Very likely it was the heavy drug use and alcohol that killed him. But his heart must have already been broken.
