'''Personal bias suppression''' (also called '''cultural filter suppression''') is a decrease in the personal or cultural biases, preferences, and associations which a person knowingly or unknowingly filters and interprets their perception of the world through.<ref name="HorváthSzummer2017">{{cite journal|last1=Horváth|first1=Lajos|last2=Szummer|first2=Csaba|last3=Szabo|first3=Attila|title=Weak phantasy and visionary phantasy: the phenomenological significance of altered states of consciousness|journal=Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences|volume=17|issue=1|year=2017|pages=117–129|issn=1568-7759|doi=10.1007/s11097-016-9497-4}}</ref> | '''Personal bias suppression''' (also called '''cultural filter suppression''') is defined as a decrease in the personal or cultural biases, preferences, and associations which a person knowingly or unknowingly filters and interprets their perception of the world through.<ref name="HorváthSzummer2017">{{cite journal|last1=Horváth|first1=Lajos|last2=Szummer|first2=Csaba|last3=Szabo|first3=Attila|title=Weak phantasy and visionary phantasy: the phenomenological significance of altered states of consciousness|journal=Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences|volume=17|issue=1|year=2017|pages=117–129|issn=1568-7759|doi=10.1007/s11097-016-9497-4}}</ref> | ||
Analyzing one's beliefs, preferences, or associations while experiencing personal bias suppression can lead to new perspectives that one could not reach while sober. The suppression of this innate tendency often induces the realization that certain aspects of a person's personality, world view and culture are not reflective of objective truths about reality, but are in fact subjective or even delusional opinions.<ref name="HorváthSzummer2017"/> This realization often leads to or accompanies deep states of insight and critical introspection which can create significant alterations in a person's perspective that last anywhere from days, weeks, months, or even years after the experience itself. | Analyzing one's beliefs, preferences, or associations while experiencing personal bias suppression can lead to new perspectives that one could not reach while sober.

Personal bias suppression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[conceptual thinking]], [[analysis enhancement]], and especially [[memory suppression]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] dosages of [[hallucinogen|hallucinogens]] such as [[dissociative|dissociatives]] and [[psychedelic|psychedelics]]. However, it can also occur to a much lesser extent under the influence of very heavy dosages [[entactogen|entactogens]] and [[cannabinoid|cannabinoids]]. | Personal bias suppression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[conceptual thinking]], [[analysis enhancement]], and especially [[memory suppression]].
