When shared spiritual experiences lead to conflicting interpretations

Our friend group has been doing ayahuasca ceremonies together but the last one left two of us with completely different understandings of what happened and now there's this weird tension where we can't talk about the experience without basically invalidating each other's reality. We're all supposed to be seeking truth together but we can't agree on what we found.

What we've seen
