Intensity is the whole point. As I already said, a bad trip is a good thing in the long run. If you don't want a bad trip, then don't take the medicine! Because that's what we're talking about here, medicine. You don't take medicine to "get high".

When somebody is at this kind of spiritual cross-roads, it's important to think/feel things out with a calm mind/heart. The introduction of a drug (please spare me the hippie pretenses) as powerful as salvia adds an element of randomness that will more likely than not be harmful. Especially when the subconcious grasps for symbols and interpretations of said symbols that come from a long background of one particular religious system and the person in question has deep feelings of guilt and inadequacy stemming from said religion. That's how the mind works on trips. I think that tripping is great but not in this context.
