This video also features 3 clips from Joseph Cambell's "The Power of Myth" interview with Bill Moyers. Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 - October 30, 1987) was an American professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence College who worked in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work covers many aspects of the human experience. Campbell's best-known work is his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), in which he discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero shared by world mythologies, termed the monomyth.
Since the publication of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell's theories have been applied by a wide variety of modern writers and artists. His philosophy has been summarized by his own often repeated phrase: "Follow your bliss." He gained recognition in Hollywood when George Lucas credited Campbell's work as influencing his Star Wars saga.
Campbell's approach to folklore topics such as myth and his influence on popular culture has been the subject of criticism, including from folklorists, academics in folklore studies.

To experience, to know, to be.......... curious.
Very, very few people are willing to challenge their established beliefs taught by the ancients.

I was in school one day and I had never done any drugs or even smoked a cigarette. I had an out of body experience. As soon as I saw the top of my head, I was startled by it and snapped back into my body as if attached with a stretched elastic band. Never happened again unless during my sleeping as a child.
Lol... sports, Hollywood, and soShill media are the downfall of society... not something to be proud of... or encourage! I did agree with some of this... but those three things are how the few control the minds and the actions of the many.... along with schooling. They are not good things... they are fake culture for profit by your masters. Bread and circus!
dude these video keep getting better. Love what you are doing, spreading the good word. 🤗 🍄
@@michaelpearce8661 No one who has had an "out of body" experience became enlightened. Enlightenment is different. Enlightenment is more about being within.

Y'all should look into The Great Reset being proposed by the World Economic Forum, it's also backed by Trudeau and the Royal Family. Stay safe and get informed. They claim that "You will own nothing and you will be happy." This shit is suspicious, especially since they tried calling it a conspiracy theory only for the Royal Family's official CZcams channel even posted a video of it. Australia is aware of this and they're being censored, both by FB, Google, and others.

Psychedelics changed my life. From denying spiritual reality to experiencing it directly, 10 minutes was all it took. I was permanently changed for the better and for that reason alone I am eternally grateful 🙏 🙏 🙏
10 Minutes .... May I inquire- DMT?
Yup
I was raised in the church and took psilocybin some years after walking away from it. This video is the truth. While on my trip I walked in the forest, and there a large, old, oak tree called to me, or I felt drawn to it. When I looked up through the branches to the sky, the sunlight and leaves danced like flames, and when I touched it's bark, the tree shared with me it's experience, I could feel what it was like to have roots, the tickle of mycelium poking nutrients into my roots, drinking vast amounts of water and breathing it out into the air through my leaves, the heat and cold of many seasons. I quit my job and I grow plants now :) I hope everyone can have a similar experience, because now I read the bible and delight in it's subtlety and wisdom, yet Christians want none of it. Shame, the truth is SO much more magnificent and beautiful than the shadow of it they know. God cannot fit inside their box because God is the box, or rather The Universe is God.
I had a conversation with a female tree spirit in a church yard slap bang in the middle of London. All rather magical. An experience I hold very dear.
All there is is love. I think we keep calling that love but we’re the love. Soooo were the god we seek. I’ve been there a few times. This “being alive” is the trip.
"god" is a synonym we gave to the universe, and it got all muddled when we tried to personify it
I wish I could save this comment!
Allow me to recommend The Hidden Life of Trees, by Peter Wohlleben. He selects a handful of trees around the world, and visits them year after year for a decade. The way that he manages to portray each tree with it's own internal life really helped me step outside my own consciousness, outside of even being a human, and step into being a tree for a short while.
He has a whole series of these books based on various creatures, but Trees is a great entry point for someone new to the idea; many people just seem to think of trees as natural features rather than living things.
I can absolutely confirm this video. What makes it absolutely real is I didn't take them anticipating any of it. I thought it would be "trippy" and fun and I'd end up watching a movie and laughing. I was wrong. I did Mushrooms for the 2nd time in my life a year ago, when covid first started and we were all stuck at home. My experience was hard. I saw what type of friend I was from my friends perspective, what type of son, boyfriend, brother, co-worker. It's not that I'm a "bad" any of these things. But I saw the truth, without my ego able to protect me. It was difficult and very uncomfortable. I saw the flaws in my views of the world and of others. I saw the ways my insecurities made me envious or jealous. I became rattled with shame when I saw the games I have played to keep people at a distance for no reason. It was all so unfiltered and I felt like I died. Any vision of who I thought I was, was a lie to myself. I sat quiet in reflection for 2 hours. I took a deep breath and I submitted to all of it. I remember thinking, "don't judge these thoughts, let them in. Just sit with them all" I asked myself questions, why the hell haven't I done X or Y yet in my life? Why am I still behaving in X or Y way? Why do I treat my body awful like I'm 20 still and will live forever? It was an unrelenting assault on every aspect of my life and who I was as a human being without any ego to deflect or preserve my false sense of self. It was an absolute flood that poured over me as if I was sitting at the base of a waterfall of truth. I wrote down a thought I had in the middle of it. 1. Get right with myself. 2. Get right with loved ones. 3. Be right for God. I laughed at this the next day for a couple minutes but I felt a shift in myself. From that day until today, I have a new insight or awareness at all times that didn't exist before. If I'm being a jerk in a bad mood, I see it immediately and shift out of it. I shift away and out of argumentative situational traps, I live and enjoy the moments with loved ones more. I don't know what the hell happened when I did them that day, but I tapped into something inside my core that I had never been able too before because it was buried under so many layers of self ego and self preservation. I was able to keep that pathway preserved afterwards and that channel is something I'd describe as a new self awareness. Id sum it up that, life is short, our time with loved ones is finite, our dreams and opportunities are fleeting. Be true to yourself, Be better everyday. Live in the moment. Be someone worth being around. Every moment of life is either an opportunity to make a memory or an opportunity to create regret. God is more real than the society which makes you doubt his existence every day.
I don't watch the news anymore, I don't care about all the fear propaganda. I got married afterwards to that girlfriend, and I'm about to start a new career that I talked myself out in the past. I get less anxiety, I take moments to tell my family and friends I love them. I don't know what the hell happened that day but I tuned into something that changed me and I'm grateful for it. Death of the ego is real. Kill it hard and fast and live your authentic life.
I love what you wrote, thank you for sharing your profound experience!!!!! To be honest. while I am eager I am also very hesitant. Fear is a powerful primal emotion to be overcome. (Case in point what is being done to the human race at this very moment in time.)
Thank you for sharing that...
I’m so happy for you!
ah man thank you so much for sharing, your experience completely resonates with mine just a week ago, and I love how you are able to feed into your intelligence and articulate it in such a beautiful and poetic manner. you exerinces are exact what I was doing to myself. this past week I did an ibogane trip and it was incredibly profound and something I will never for get. I thought i was in control and the outcomes of my success i only had myself to thank and put myself ahead of god, and the shattering reality was something beautiful to behond his abundance of intelegnce and grace, and this overwhelming voice of reason stopping me from negative thoughts and behaviour. i don't know you from a bar of soap but i wish you all the best. maybe your new sense of self have a lasting impact on the people around you, and don't stop spreading your story and sharing your wisdom. Thank you so much
@@ThePrimeVID Thank you for the kind words. all the best to you brother!
My brother who attempted suicide multiple times in his life used psilocybin about 3 years ago with the purpose of having this exact experience. He took a dose way above what would be needed just for a trip. He has not had any suicidal ideation in these past 3 years. When he told me about it, as he knew I struggled with suicidal ideation since I was 10, I was totally on-board to try it, but my husband was nervous about it. Well, my brother got the psilocybin, and we were trying to schedule a time anyway. Then, in January 2022, my whole family got sick. I couldn't sleep despite using Nyquil and even heavier stuff prescribed to me; every time I laid down, I couldn't breathe, so I had to sleep sitting up which is impossible for my ASD brain to handle. And I would finally fall to sleep when one of my children or my husband would be up needing something as we ALL were so sick and Moms don't get a break when everyone else is feeling cruddy. After 4 days of no sleep, I had a vision. In the vision I saw things that my Mom later confirmed to me were true, things I shouldn't have been able to remember from my childhood. I saw why I was on this Earth, and that each one of us is personally known to the Creator, a loving Father in Heaven; each one of us has a purpose in our journey through this life, and those who want to find that purpose will find it when their hearts are open to the things of God. I saw that currency of this world dies with this world, but the currency that matters eternally is our time in this life and how (and with whom) we choose to spend that time. I saw that the events of the last few years have been allowed to happen to expose the spiritual warfare which is plaguing our society and trying to undermine our democracy in the United States. Anyone who values Earthly currency over a human life should not be trusted, and is working against God. Since seeing these things, I have not had anymore suicidal ideation, which plagued me for over 25 years of my life. I still get tired, and I've learned I can't speak openly about my vision because people today do not believe visions are possible, or chalk it up to mental health. But then, why would I remember things from when I was 3-4 years old, that impacted my life so dramatically? And have those things confirmed to me by people who also witnessed miracles?
As I was only going to take psilocybin to re-structure my neural pathways, and my vision did that, I haven't had to take them. But I believe the same effect was achieved through my 4 days of no sleep. But, as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this video makes me think of two things: the first is how Lehi had his vision of the tree of life, and his son, Nephi (pronounced knee-fi), also wanted to see the vision. So Nephi fasted and prayed, and was granted the same vision. The second is, "When they are learned, they think they are wise", a scripture from the Book of Mormon (Mosiah 3:19). There is a lot of "learned"-ness in this video, but I believe that anyone who truly wants to experience God, will be able to experience this. But, this is why so many Christian churches actively preach against my Church-- the idea that we all have God-hood capabilities in each of us, and can receive visions and understanding directly from God, is pretty radical. Still, it was Joseph Smith who, in the process of restoring the Church to the Earth in its entirety, knew that spiritual warfare would keep many from opening their minds to the possibility that there was a God in control of everything. This was an interesting video, and I appreciate the person who made it.
Was totally reading your essay until you throw in the moms don’t go down when sick line …… lol y’all can’t tell a story without self promotion can you.
Glad you had your experiences . Thanks for sharing

You got me with this "Anyone who values Earthly currency over a Human life should not be trusted, and is working against God"🙏 it's so true and I see this in our government more and more, day in and day out.
I wish I had these videos in highschool after I shattered my ego with psychedelics. I did them for all the wrong reasons, thinking I'd just "trip out" and see a bunch of colors, but I was wrong. I saw so many things that I didn't understand, so many random correlations and connections that I was overwhelmed and entranced by the mystery of my experience. I started to spiral down a psychedelic drug journey, but luckily for me, my teacher gave me a book about Taoism and that led me to Alan Watts, which gave me a lot of guidance and reassurance in my journey. For anyone who read this, good luck on your journey.
Your teacher is a hero!
Taoism is very very interesting. I agree. I experienced an ego dissolution (or disillusionment, haha) at 16 years old with 1000μg of 25c nbome. I was alone in my room. I could never have foreseen that experience, and it changed my life forever. I know I 'went to a place' that is real, and that is also what DMT shows you... But... These realizations will often tell you what your 'heart' knows already. The problem is listening to it, which is really introspection and also listening to others about what they say about you, especially someone close to you... or in the case of Freud... but I digress.
I think psychedelics should be treated with great responsibility, and very rarely done, and secretively, ritualistically just like those ancient Greeks. It isn't a drug, and personally I would not take many of the existing psychedelic compounds, only the naturally occuring ones and synthetic ones with sufficient research done regarding their toxicity profile. Lsd is a harmless synthetic compound. I think they can be used for specific purposes, but unfortunately we do not have a spiritual practice in place for people to have group psychedelic experiences, which the ancient Greeks and Romans (up until approximately 350ad). The only thing is... The ancients would live out the stories, for instance, at Eleusis. A person really would become Persephone... In that, it makes sense how it was so transformative for them, because it was based on centuries upon centuries of tradition.
Love this. Glad you’re on the upside. Ive been an addict the past 20 years… its still tough
@@philosphorus Imagine that... having places today where spiritual practices were valued and studied and experienced... instead we have tik tok and phones to stare at all day... And that's a fascinating idea that they really would become the gods. What a way to grow and experience the world in novel ways.
@@tiffany8028 being an addict and racking yourself with psychedelics is a little different. You do it for the same reasons though...
... and this you shall do in remembrance of me "
I can confirm this experience with mushrooms. The stripping away of the ego, the understanding of one’s existence and non existence of what we call time.
I also knew of its performance enhancing abilities. On a smaller dose, I could surf so much better. My balance and awareness of what the wave was going to do next was phenomenal. Pulling maneuvers off in the most critical parts of the wave with aplomb. Truly amazing and some experiences I’ll never forget!

@Maxwell Scott What do you mean? Can you educate me?

Such a bs quote. The the separations between mind body and soul are outdated as can be... it is now proven the metaphysical realm made up by humans, is nothing but metaphors for actual biological and chemicak processes of our brains. After you say theres always someone who goes “but thats depressive, it means theres no magic or meaning beyond this experience” and my answer is dude if you dont recognize the human experience as a miracle and as mindblowing as it actualky is you are totally out of your mind. Life is crazy magical it is spiritual in its core without being spiritual, deal with the fact that the whole is one and everything is as it should be.
Yes. Though we just are...
@@dvrds I agree with you. I lean towards atheism and through my spiritual practice its been hard avoiding all the supernatural beliefs that aren't proven (i don't want to base a big part of my life on that). at first i thought that is what spirituality was kinda, which confused my beliefs but now i'm realising, i don't need to believe in for example the concept of souls so literally to connect to my "spirit". they truly do seem to be just metaphors/synonyms for science
I had experienced psilocybin and I say I got ice chilling experience... Time and space was just an illusion... I experienced feelings, pain, orgasm, evil and good... chaos and order... I become one with whole world... Other people became as inseparable part of me... There was no me, but whole world is Me... I could be at many places, lives and dramas and tragedies, families at the same time... I felt You guys are Me and I am You... so connected
... I was fighting depression and philosophic suicide thoughts before this experience... but now I enjoy life... I look at all of you as part of new experience... The memory is priceless, ability to feel is priceless, time that never stops is priceless... law of physics are priceless, nature is beautiful and priceless, death is dramas ending not actual death... That's why we enjoy acting, films and literature... because we see actors as us but don't understand deep about it... You're all amazing people... even evil ones has their porpoises... you are to do so to let us understand more about good and evil... attention, love and peace is our target of enjoyment...one bonus story I experienced I been in a place filled with every woman on earth and all of them and I was feeling as am all men on earth... and we connected and if felt so warming loving, caring and unimaginable orgasm...
May I say...This book and story resonate with very part of my being. I have experienced death as a PTSD treatment..several times. And the reprogramming I have received has changed my reality and my story here on this planet. I was a Navy Seal medic for 16 years before I lost everything. After 5 years of helping other veterans, addicts, and victims of trauma heal their minds...I can assure you that the best therapy...the best medicine is not at the pharmacy. It's in nature. God's medicine. Reset and rebuild your life today. As for the story of Christianity... well I can assure you that truth is a quest to be discovered..to be experienced. No one will do it for you. I believe this story is true. 🙏
I died last weekend. I took 20 grams (wet) of golden teacher mushrooms, led on the couch and saw myself as a 90 year old man with leathered skin and little hair. I couldn't feed or hydrate myself any longer. I was too tired. I was about to die. It really put this very moment of life into perspective and has made me realise how precious life is, how precious love and family is and what it means to me. Holding a grudge against someone is so utterly pointless, because we are all going to die one day, and then nobody will care.
20 grams, holy shit! What an incredible journey that must have been!
A certain amount will bring you to the death trip everytime, but if can let go, it's really hysterical 🤣 to just be in the humor of it all
@@jamieleemeyer2993 20 grams wet. Equilivant to 2 grams dry, so a pretty ordinary dose.
You felt that spiritually but physically in the real world you were probably dying of thirst and realized how water is life
I took 10 grams dry in December it was the worst experience of my life. I do not regret it but I definitely stick to small doses now.
During a recent lsd trip I became more conscious about my positive and negative duality. I decided to take the bus to visit a friend who lives in the city near me, and my negative side started to worry about having a bad trip caused by strangers and all the things you know are coming when you go into a crowded city. And when my positive side said to my negative side aloud “I trust you”, my negative side felt a wave of love that opened it up to a new connection based on friendship and trust. We then gave each other our hand in pure honesty and love, and it was at that moment I healed my inner world from a state of war to a state of understanding and compassion. I took the bus and the trip was good. Psychedelics and nature’s creations are the only medicine that will heal our mind and body. To end the wars that we suffer in our outer world, we have to end the wars that we suffer in our inner world.
I love your experience and thank you for sharing it but this is also available to us without anything other than witnessing our own breathe in silence💜

Just wait till you graduate to non-duality. Just remember, every trip is a bad one. Just gotta learn how to steer

@@lisajohnson6351 I guess then we have to make it so that the only people that die from war are the ones that profit from war.

Those things don't come close to a full blown psychedelic experiences
Never heard it this way and I agree.
Did you do psylocibine ?
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life was when I had a psychedelic experience with psilocybin, it was the one and only time ever in my life that was I was truly speechless... no matter how much I wanted to say something no words would come out of my mouth, my mind was blown I could not comprehend what I just experienced. I just stood there pointing at the sunrise with my mouth open

I had the most intense mushroom experience of my life a few weeks ago (5g of a powerful strain) with my two closest friends. These are the notes i wrote the day after:
Jay became someone else - a cosmic being - "The Jester" - could not bullshit, could not be bullshitted to. His laughs were mocking ours, like he saw something we didnt (fake haha, serious face, exposing glare); clairvoyance, spiritual possession, transcendence. Said over and over "I broke the wall, I didnt break the wall.", "you were supposed to say that". He knew everything we would say, like speaking was futile and we all had a common understanding of this. Ego died, all that was left was the presence of God / the balance / The spirit of everything. Incredibly humbling. Lesson: to relinquish control (stop being a control freak) and let destiny guide me.
This moment felt almost exactly like AoT; I am Mikasa, Armin is Connor, Jay is Eren. When Eren exposed Mikasa's lack of free will. Our dynamic is very analogous.
Jay:
"We're going to laugh about this tomorrow" It looked like 'insanity' or 'manic behaviour' but was undoubtedly the highest form of mental clarity I've ever seen; we reached a certain wavelength of consciousness together. I can understand how someone can get stuck in that limbo. Mind operating at full capacity constantly, no rest. The Reality of Reality is too much for one brain to process. Madness may just be a perpetual awareness of the inconceivable, unprocessable truth of reality.
Jay:
"This is a dream, we're going to wake up. Or is this real and the other side is the dream?"
I was frightened that I may have thrown Jay into the deep end too quickly (his first time doing mushrooms). I worried that I broke his brain and sent him into "madness"
Jay : "Whatever happens, don't let me hurt myself"
Time became fluid; an illusion. Maybe this is why we instantly felt high after eating the shrooms; the trip consciousness transcended into relative timelessness. Probably not though lol.
Reality deconstructed layer by layer. The foundations of existence revealed themselves like points on a 4-dimensional grid.( I tapped into this sensation when I smoked my first bowl in highschool and said "This feels like a video game - it looks like a grid".
Reminds me of how The Matrix is made of the machine cipher (green symbols) and gave me the sense that reality is malleable and can be controlled by tapping into the source of consciousness. (Like how Neo bent "reality" with his breath once he realized "there is no spoon") After all Neo is an analogy for Christ hence his abilities to perform "miracles" i.e. "bend reality"
Psychadelics are the "Red Pill" of our Universe. The conduit that exposes the reality of reality i.e. the Matrix.
Our lack of free will was clearly evident to everyone in the room. Connor: "It's like we're not in control". We are all part of something bigger than ourselves; a master plan so to speak.
The "trip" was a literal trip. It took us to different places with different thoughts and different emotions, sometimes converging, sometimes splitting away; all leading to different destinations and takeaways.
We explored our own thoughts in our heads separately, but also connected and felt eachothers thoughts almost telepathically. A "below the surface" deep level of emotional communication I never thought possible. Makes me think of 'Neuralink'.
It felt like the plane of dreams leaked into the plane of our perceived reality. Reality became encrypted, much like a dream, and my mission was to listen to it and learn from it.
I didnt feel like I was in the driver seat; my actions werent my own - destiny took over. Every action was "supposed to happen" just like Jay said. Every song that played, every song I thought about skipping but felt deep within me that I shouldnt.
Convergences:
The kitchen - reality "sinking in", with Jay's "possession" as a conduit.
The Death:
Jay: (ego briefly surfacing) "I have to say this... we're waking up after this"
The Rebirth:
The union of brothers; shame was dead; just embrace, love, and acceptance.
The Sendoff:
Going together to look at the stars. It looked like the stars were dancing; the gasses toward the centre of the milky way were visible.The constellations connected like a web. Stars looked like the tree of life, the vines dangling above, enveloping and welcoming us. Reminded me of "The Coordinate" from AoT, the tree from The Northman, the "Tree of Souls" from Avatar.
Followed by my pondering, learning, confusion, and acceptance. Acceptance realized by my interaction with the moon. To me it was unbelievable, unreal. I've seen the moon beautiful, red, and low, but never like this, and especially not as part of the conclusion of a profound experience. However to the others, it was unimpressive and ordinary. The acceptance that the path I walk will be a path of solitude, but I will find those that I am destined to meet, and do what I am destined to do.
I am a soldier in God's army; we, the enlightened, are all connected and working together to serve God's plan. My next steps are to relinquish control and let God pave the path I walk on. Stop resisting his voice; follow it and embrace it. Everything that has happened and will happen was meant to happen and is out of any one person's control. Control is an illusion. God didnt create life and abandon it; God always was, is, and always will be everything, because God is the Source. The Roots. The coordinate. God is where we go when we die. Destiny is real and it has already been written, and I am okay with that.

• I almost didnt bring the mushrooms
• Ryan cancelled last minute
• Mitch wasn't available
• Tania and Andrew left when it was required
• Nobody was at the cottage; the weather was JUST shitty enough to keep people away, and just good enough for us to thoroughly enjoy it despite unpromisng forecast
• The most perfectly clear sky to observe the stars; which is exactly what we set out to do.
All sums up into the IDEAL trip situation. Nothing went wrong. I fail to see how it could have possibly gone better.
Just like how an infinite number of variables had to perfectly coincide to create life, an infinite number of variables had coincided to lead me to these realizations and us all to this profound experience.
Bonus Observations:
Consciousness is a frequency that we get dialed into. The frequency can be modified
It is true that we are "spiritual beings" and we are "fallen from God" so to speak.
My sense of "I" became unmasked. I felt that I have a human body, rather than I 'am' a human body. The brain is a receiver of consciousness whos frequency can be intensified, lessened, and completely detached, but our consciousness is ultimately grounded in this reality until death
We spend life asleep; this is truly the only time we are awake and experiencing reality
Or a spectacular illusion that goes nowhere.

This is literally the answer I’ve been searching for over the past 2 years since I took my first tab of cid. I grew up in a Christian household learning the word of god. I’m the black sheep of my family at 20 years of took a tab a cid and my world flipped upside down filling me up with questions and I knew there was more to it and this is what I’ve been searching for so Thank you After Skool
"The Quality Of Your Life Depends Upon The Quality Of Your Thoughts."
- Marcus Aurelius
@M Z - you must have conscious disciplined thoughts and attitude to believe this rationale and then make your body comply with your daily rituals to make it so. If you’re fat and unhealthy, the exercises and diet do not begin until you’ve made up your mind that you no longer wish to be fat and unhealthy. One must change their minds before their habits change. There are no accidental Champions.

I can definitely say psychedelics played a huge part in changing my life. I tripped a handful of times and it led me down a path of self reflection each time. The last time was a handful of years ago and I came to the realization that I didn’t need drugs anymore because I was the person I wanted to be sober.
I don't really buy the need to not do them. They are akin to cleaning out your PC, something that should be done every so often to keep things running smooth. Not to mention there is always more to learn.
Dude that’s fucken awesome ❤
After DMT, just once, I have inner peace and no longer fear death. That’s an amazing breakthrough for me
You don’t fear death while in a safe environment but i bet you would if you’d be threatened with a gun by some dude.
@@Slk223 I agree that would be a fearful situation, I still don’t fear death
I stopped fearing death after having experience so much pain in life. Sometimes I really miss my loved ones who are gone, and sometimes I wish to join them. However, it I not my time yet.
@@Slk223 youre probably right, me personally i fear the process of death that could involve pain lol rather than what happens after
dmt and near death experience for me..... very similar in many ways.... there is much we don't know here.... and now. but that's also OK. part of the journey for each. dmt also gave me peace about other stuff.... like being alive... its amazing stuff
This is a big part of why psychosis, one of the most frightening and surreal times in my life, was likewise one of the most pivotal.
You were psychotic? What did you see?
@@ruschev2 Lots of things that are a bit hard to explain without sounding crazy hahha. My favourites were these butterflies that were made of this sparkly technicolor light, they felt like they might be from an anime. Some were more frightening. Auditory hallucinations were the worst.
@@ouo7343 wishing you well. Psychosis must be a hard thing to go through but peoples experiences of it interest me a lot.
@@ouo7343 I used to get auditory hallucinations from sleep paralysis as a teenager.
Same! (I do have to say, it mattered who was in my company at the time also)
I’ve taken psychedelics en masse in the past and became very acquainted in the effects, but there was always something about every experience that left me feeling like I missed something important. One night everything clicked into place and I was put into an extended flashback that lasted several days, I studied Numerology, Psychology, Religion, Etymology, Geometry, Pretty much all the -ology’s I followed the Alchemical steps which I reflected upon my 7 chakras and dove deeply, “unkinking knots” in my own psyche and weaving it back together. Through this process I experienced a death of self and an integration into my environment, like my bedroom became an extension of myself and vice versa. The experience completely changed my outlook on the world.
I am happy for you that you could have these experiences, truly I am. But what about those people, like myself, who don't have the slightest clue as to how to get Psilocybin and then how to use it properly? And that right there is the most cruelest thing about After Skool. Makes all these great videos on psychedelic experiences and freeing you mind and dying to you ego BUT then fails to inform us how to do it.
@@adventureinlife7700well ya found any over the year lol
But u can google safe ways of use but finding em is definitely a different thing
I am only 3 minutes in and already I know this is gonna be good. Over the last few weeks I myself have felt like I went through a death and rebirth. The me that I was before is no more, what I am left with is the quintessence of myself. The wholly pure vessel is open to learning and understanding everything the world has to offer.
And I fully agree with the sentiment that one can't quite learn this great wisdom in the sense that it can't be expressed in words. When one is truly ingrained in the moment, has fully allowed all the random thoughts to play out, and finally when you are fully alert and aware of every single sound and vibration around you. That is when you are truly there, that is when you are truly you. You aren't talking about whatever the massive machine of flesh is proliferating at this moment (by that I mean you aren't caring what the rest of the world, the rest of your fellow man, etc thinks).
I'm about to hit play on the video but I have a feeling that there will be things such as being able to feel the energy around you. By that I mean the fact that you can feel the warmth of other creatures and feel their presence even when they aren't there. Like for instance when one is in a place that normally has people and there aren't any people there you can feel an underlying feeling of the traffic which came through. In a way the very resonance of the material you walk on betrays the passage of other souls.
Edit: I should note that while I have not consumed any psychedelics in the last 2 years. I used to grow mushrooms myself and used to trip on LSD before that. I hit a point with the mushrooms where I felt as though they had taught me all they had to teach. If I ever decide to grow cubes again I still do not know if I would take them again. Not for fear of what I may experience but out of respect. I can manifest some of the best features of the psilocybin high now without the influence of drugs. For me things like the fact that it would draw attention to all the things I had been ignoring, feeling a connectedness to all my fellow humans, and being fully in the present. Because I can manifest all those now as good habits, I feel that I'm in a wonderful state right now and have no need for psychedelics.
I will say that the thing that really sealed the deal for me was 2 fold. Starting meditating and exercising often. Became a Buddhist, started meditating for that purpose originally and started counting my exercises like prayers. After a while I got to the point I could meditate anywhere and didn't have the need for incense and reciting prayers to achieve that state. I also just started doing my workouts as a proper routine due to originally viewing it like prayers, and then I took that restriction off and allowed myself to fully enjoy the workouts. Especially by reaching that mental state where you have no care for what the world things of you, you get fully immersed in whatever activity you do.
“If you die before you die; when you die, you won’t die.” That’s the motto of the monks on Mount Athos. I made a pilgrimage there a few years ago and while there was certainly no psychedelics involved, it was a beautiful experience.
This comment needs to be seen by more people.
you don't need psychedelics
good to read this, because right after the video i started to think i needed psychedelics
This book is a distortion of the Truth. So as the psychedelic drugs, they will deepen you more in this trance of life, the real death is the ego suicide, through humility’ not some drug consumption.
But as usual the greatest lies come wrapped in the red ribbon of truth .. but inside the beautiful package - lies
@@amalialavric7164 I can tell that you didn't read Brian's book. If you do you will eventually understand. Long story short, the point is, on Mount Athos is that quote because Christianity is the continuation of the Greek "pagan" rites ( there are a ton of evidences to back that up). And the so called "drugs" are not drugs at all. We are not talking here about synthetic stuff. These are plants from the nature that old civilizations used for so long, that Christianity' s2000 years of existence is nothing at all. There was a remote time when civilizations were matriarchal based on partnership where altered states of mind were very common. Our present civilization is based on patriarchal dominator culture who overthrown the old ways. Think about Christianity for a second: why does it hates drugs and women so much? They went so far to persecute throughout history the so called "witches", and echoes of that mindset still can be felt today. You are a woman, you know better than me what it means to be rejected from church in certain scenarios. "What greater weapon is there than to turn your enemies to your cause? To use their own knowledge against them?" - Yes, that is what Christianity patriarchal dominator cultural style is doing to us today. In 4th century A.D. when the last heterodoxies were destroyed - like the Gnostics - Emperor Constantine the Great turned to Christianity "because he saw a firing cross on the sky" - do you really believe that fairy tale? If you were an Emperor of that time, especially of the Roman Empire, you would had made some strategic choices in order to protect your Empire best interests. Unlike Nero which persecuted a lot of Christians, Constantin realized that killing a lot of your own population is "bad for business" (because yes Christians were many). After that, is well documented the fact that the Bible ( which was surprise surprise written in Greek ) was altered and copied so many times that was natural that the messages were lost, misinterpreted ( on purpose or not ) to fit certain political views of that time in history. It may sound like a conspiration theory but if you take the time and do the research you will see that all I am saying is well documented and more likely to be true, than the stories they tell you in the church. It sounds grim, but you better wake up because this is the REALITY. (sorry about my not so perfect English spelling).
I have dabbled with tested psychedelics and let me tell you that everything i have learned up to this point is clearly acknowledged in this video
This is the most important video I've seen in all my years of watching CZcams. I read Brian's book "The Immortality Key" when it was first published and have wondered over the past couple of years why everybody wasn't talking about it. I guess we were too fascinated with the pandemic.
Happened to me.... I realized there is a supreme mind that organized this beauty and that there was a good & evil, just like there is a black and white, night and day, yet all part of the same... Led me on my search for God and a purposeful way of life.
I definitely believe this to be the secret.
the COVID hysteria definitely proved the evil nature of humanity.

We aren’t individuals with an individual soul, but one universal soul experiencing a human experience. Experiencing life.
Yeah nope. Your definitely not me.
We do have an individual soul. And there is a reason for that. At first eternity was all there is. Once eternity became self awareness it had no idea of knowing who or what he was because there was only unity. So in order to find out it used intelligent energie, love and light in order to create. By dividing itself and creating conscious galaxies, then solar systems and planets in which we developed in body-mind-spirit complexes from a small portion of the collective consciousnes and an individual soul. withe the purpose to experience life, learn lessons and getting to know itself. Bij looking and connecting with others selfs we see our selfs at divine co-creator.
I read his book, The Immortality Key. It's fantastic, he did his research and every chapter blew my mind. I highly recommend.

Absolutely love this. Ego death truly feels like a physical death. Very profound
Yeah it does it can come as dissociation as well turning the familiar into the foreign
Definition of ego (Webster's)
1: the self especially as contrasted with another self or the world
2a: EGOTISM sense 2
b: SELF-ESTEEM sense 1
3: the one of the three divisions of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory that serves as the organized conscious mediator between the person and reality especially by functioning both in the perception of and adaptation to reality- compare ID, SUPEREGO
We need to be more specific when we talk about something as serious as death.

There is no thing called Ego... al there is... are... indentity... believe... and interest but to whom... Can the perceiver be perceived???
@@StarLink85 yes but our minds aren't developed enough to make that connection. People come into contact with outside entities constantly. We have to be able to acknowledge when it's happening
They are the same, because the idea of you, is just that, an idea. It doesn't exist, just like the word "I," isn't you. It's just a line--a symbol. Physical or spiritual, all who die are awakened.
"You don't realize what ya got until it's gone" Isn't that the truth that's why we must try to enjoy the journey to our goals.
It's the journey
God is the timeless entity . so it makes sense to understand the divine when you have lost the total concept of ego space and time.
I was significantly depressed at 25. Two suicide attempts, luckily survived. I was in a spiritual break. Religion hadn't answered anything adequately and every axiom of meaning felt dissolved in a vat of acid by the vastness of the cosmos.
Then I took 1g of Psilocybin Mushrooms at the Oregon Country Fair.
It was unreal. I felt intense emotion, even negative feelings of being annoying to others. I confronted my insecurities. I didn't see visions of anything, but did experience distortions in my field of view. We danced around a bonfire and I felt the sheer energy of heat and intensity of the fire, both fearful of it but wildly in respect of it. Colors became wildly fascinating and we sat under the stars feeling the glow of the energy of the universe. It's like the physics of existence I had studies and respected as a scientist had a dualistic fearful ness but sense of majesty I was irreverent of.
Three months later and the thoughts that would create a sense of meaninglessness, worthlessness are still there...but the emotional despair and suicidal ideation has disappeared.
It's too soon to tell but it feels like an air pocket had been built between the rational realization of one's death and the emotional despair that naturally emerges from that realization in the form of existential depression.
And that was with only 1g of Psilocybin Mushrooms. The idea of taking something like 5g in a highly controlled setting with professionals is brilliant. It's an unforgettable experience and it changes you.
But I'd argue a small dose in a truly safe but experiential environment is just as profound too and worth exploring.
Having it ONLY with really close friends and maybe experiencing it viewing the stars is profound.
I'm glad Psilocybin Mushrooms are being seriously introduced in the mental health. And it pains me that brilliant men like David Foster Wallace, someone whose depression I felt equally experiential of, had died of suicide from their spiritual break instead of confronting it with the use of Psychadelics.
Brian it was brave of you to share this message on this platform, thank you for helping bring the truth to light
I did mushrooms with a friend ONLY ONCE...completely changed my perspective on life..i became a successful touring musician, i now own a landscaping business and i feel "love" a different, more intense way. I remember the exact moment...my brain and everything about me just went....oh yeh that makes perfect sense

"Die before you die" means to let go of your life before your body dies. A lot of people are going thru that right now, in 2023, due to so many people being exposed as fakes. It's causing so many people to give up whatever it was that they were working towards, and then they will come to know that their life was all up to them the whole time.
So amen means "for real". Those ancient Greeks were pretty gangsta
Amen?
What?? who told u that 😂😂
Its Hebrew 😭😭😭
I thought it meant so be it
Amen Ra- Was an Egyptian god, which is why Christians say “Amen”. A great deal of what the Greeks and Romans gave, came from Africa..including a great deal of math, science, astronomy, astrology, medicine and so much more that the West refuses to teach. In fact, it could be said that Western civilization derived from Africa. Several good Books have been written on the subject, giving greater detail on what the Greeks and romans learned in Africa and took home to make it their own. They weren’t the only ones, as the Chinese and almost every other group on the planet has gone to Africa to learn.
The Germans and Italians went during WWI and many western countries have been there for over a 100 years in some way shape or form...and not just to steal the natural resources. It is all about information...and big tech has proven that, if you didn’t know it before.

I've probably watched this video 5 times and my mind gets blown every time. I mean it all makes so much sense.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. As a veteran of the 1960's I will always preach caution when it comes to the mind.
Respect the mushrooms! This last summer I tripped for 3 days in the desert. MY intention was to escape and experience cool visuals, feel happy, trip on sunsets.... the MUSHROOMS intentions were the complete opposite. They threw me into a terrifying existential experience and forced me to face head on ALL the negative memories and tendencies I have/had. I am now in a better place and actually moving forward in my life. POWERFUL MEDICINE!
Lol where can I get some, asking for a friend 👀
Now that's a helpful anecdote right there. This stuff is unpredictable, across the board, and everyone's individual chemistry is unique. But there's no denying the benefit of a good trip. Maybe bad trips have a purpose, too? But I used to say that everyone should take at least one hallucinogenic trip, to understand the indescribable nature of this reality, and the experience of transcending it.
So you had a bad trip.
@@rocks4brains no it was a good trip. There is no such thing as a bad trip, only learning experiences. Because of this my life has become drastically better. People that call it a "bad trip" are not using the mushrooms spiritually and medicinally but are using it as a party drug. Which is fine, to each their own. So long story short... not a bad trip😁
@@Kya_._Papaya I wonder how do people get those shrooms? I mean it's not like they are sold at the pharmasy. I'd love to take a trip like that but geez, getting the shroom is not an easy task.
There is still so much more to understand about the human mind.
Facts ❤️🙏🏼
Not just the human mind, but the nature of reality in general. Is our marerial reality what gave birth to consciousness, or is it the other way around? Is consciousness the ultimate, underlying field that gives rise to matter?

Very well done! Clear, concise and thought provoking. Thank you.
That was an impressively eloquent, tactful, and graceful approach to a delicate subject. Well played sir. Well played.
My heart stopped after severe allergic reaction 5 yrs ago and I'm not convinced I woke up in the same dimension I left.
Very encouraging that young people are thinking. It took me 60 years to understand that I am divine, sovereign and free. The kingdom of God is within us. It's not a literal place.
HOLY SH*T! I remember listening to this video a while back, but I don't remember the importance it correlated to in my life until listening this time... 26 years ago I took some LSD with a friend and experienced a quite terrifying trip. But at the end of it, I begged my friend to find me a bible. He handed it to me and I opened it and the first verse I read was, "To enter heaven, you must be born again". At the time I literally thought I was just about to be sucked out if reality and start my life over from when I was born. Then my friend told me "born again" meant baptized. Now, I realize that he was just showing me that I had to go through that trip in order to wake up and appreciate every moment in my life. I remember thinking how every single second is precious and that I should constantly be doing something productive and not waste any of it. Sadly, Ive wasted SO much time, it's disgusting.
This is so true. That is what happened to me. I literally had a breakdown because of all the craziness in our world. Then the next day I woke up, made changes and now I am happier than I have ever been. I never loved myself and now I do.
The "craziness" in the world wasn't the problem. The problem is you're wanting what you can't have. Unless you come to grips with your absolute mortality, you'll always be wanting.
My friend I had a breakdown i think may be similar on a high dose of lsd. We can discuss somewhere if you want?
A breakdown? please I'm not clear on what you mean by that?
I want to love myself! What was the dose?
It took me a divorce, loss of custody, loss of family, loss of all possessions, loss of health both physical and mental. After 9 months of suffering I began to love myself again and did shadow work, then I took about 3 grams of mushrooms (dried) and walked thru the woods, then walked home and meditated in a completely dark room for many hours. 3 days later my wife came back w my kid, my job is great because of the people, and I know myself and am truly grateful for both the suffering and the end of the suffering. I want nothing beyond what I need to survive, I have everything to give. I’m not “enlightened” but I’m deeply and completely changed. Embrace it all from despair and pain to ecstasy and love.
I experienced this on psilocybin mushrooms!! It's a real thing!! There is no one on this planet who can convince me that I didn't die!!! It was absolutely the most profound thing I've ever experienced!!!
Try 5MEO of toad poison. Mushrooms are for fun, this stuff is for having the death experience like the Greeks. Check out Mike Tyson talking about his experiences with the toad poison.
@@dmcq7271 You can have similar experiences from large doses of mushrooms. Takes like 10-20 grams sometimes more. DMT is preferable because you don't feel as shitty in the end. And if you freebase it you can blast off to another dimension for 15-20 minutes.

Thank you. Just this morning I was thinking about how I need to take the mushrooms that I have in my pantry. They were given to me by a friend. They’re called penis envy… Psilocybin. I have major depression and anxiety in this world and always have but now it almost 50 years old it’s gotten to the point of daily suicidal thoughts. I have given myself a deadline of my next birthday to either get a handle on it one way or the other… Soon as I reach a comfortable place I’m going to take the mushrooms in the dark room right now on safe.
I had done mushrooms in my 20s and I always said that it was like washing the window of your mind and seeing that I am one with everything… We are one with everything. Now I’ve gotten older and I have straight from the path of awakening just to see you there it is now vital for my “survival “I really appreciate this video. I do wish to experience but hopefully a steer this death dying without dying instead of the suicidal death which I believe may just be the death of the body and the soul may have to start all over again. Thank you sorry for the long text.
Wishing love and light to all of my brothers and sisters Namaste
Thank You. I have had this experience several times and it has changed my life. Very meaningful.
I can confirm this feeling. During my dark years I dropped 12 tabs of acid. I was on the verge of suicide. It was alot of fun for the first couple of hours but when all reality melted away, I felt I had complete control of reality. That my will was reality. After the feelings of euphoria took its course, my vision went black and I saw the world tree. From its branches were the souls of everyone I have ever known. I could feel them and hear them.
In time - my vision collapsed into a black hole. There was nothing. I was nothing. In a breach of something I can't even comprehend anymore was a burst of life. The very foundation of life was a circle, and I saw several of them. I grasped this feeling of existing as if I never existed in the first place. I told myself that I was ready to live again. Apparently this moment is known as Ego Death. My peak started to settle and I went back to the fun and simple hallucinations. The colors started to wash back in and I saw reality melting as before again. Eventually I came down on it and the only thing distorted was my hearing. That eventually passed.
How I wish I can remember and comprehend that moment in better clarity. Its been a while.
What matters is the feeling it left you with. This you will remember for eternity. You never left that moment.

Have you ever dropped that much since? Could probably get there again.
"As above so below, so within, so without, as the universe, so the soul" i heard the quote before but doing a variety of psychedelics truly helped me grasp this quote.
That wisdom is left to us from Hermes Trismegist, known as Tot The Atlantean. Close to where I live there is a special place, local Pomacs take care of it, but it is sacred for Christians and Muslims. It's the place where the Last Atlantean - "Demir Baba" is buried, in a 4 meter casket. That quote was the foundation of my ancestors culture, but now it feels so distant....

I think having a NDE can have the same effect on a person. A year ago I went into heart failure and after I accepted death over a year period I got better and experienced a complete ego death through many other things I lost in my life. I think it’s about realizing we shall not fear death and to stop trying to control things we’re spiritual beings having a human experience and whatever is going to be will be. Once you let go of all those burdens weighing down on you and stop caring about how others look at you life becomes so much more meaningful. I think I lived in fight or flight mode for 27 years of my life and all that tension and anxiety was literally weighing down on me my body couldn’t handle it anymore. We must forgive the people who caused trauma in our lives and let it go.
For context my heart was enlarged and my resting heart rate was at 130 which is not stainable. Still to this day the doctors can’t tell me why this happen to me all the other patients on the floor I was on experiencing what I was, was 95 years old or older.
I am 28 now but was 27 at the time
First mushroom trip I experienced the sunset pouring happiness into my soul...only way I have ever been able to describe it. But in that moment I knew it wasn't the psychedelics that caused that realization it only let me know it was always there
That was my experience. Everything we need to be the person we want to be is inside all of us. All of these toxic chemicals we put inside or bodies to chase peace are actively harming us, and we don't need any of it. Psilocybin just helps you understand that in a deep, profound way
Thank you for sharing your brief, yet erudite wisdom that always eluded my tongue when summing up my sensation to friends.
The only way to know God is to have a look into ourselves... As a experienced mushroom user I confirm that LOVE is whole purpose... Strongest force in universe manifesting in different forms... + and - trying to come together...

Killing people makes me happy, life is not about happiness, it's about rightousness
killing and sex are Ying yang. Hate and love are both expressions of love. A dance
@@joshb9657 yes I would agree with you. I think civilization has gotten so comfortable that people forget how cut throat and brutal the world really is in its natural state. Righteousnes is part of the foundation that got our society to such a great point
@penser hors limites I percieve love as truth. Attraction. End and beginning. The love of surviving, the love of growing, love of spreading, dividing and reproducing, love of failing after all at the end. Love is just how I think is the simplest way of describing it for me, but yes it can be understood as "truth", the flow of things, always leading to the same. A rule that can be applied to anything.
Thats how i see it.
@@joshb9657 omg
The immortality key is one of the best books I’ve ever experienced
It blows my mind how it isn’t one of the top 10 books in history. Hopefully, it’ll get there. Brian spent over a decade on this book, travelling to Spain to find archaeological evidence of psychedelic use.
Thank you for these insightful video presentations in the moment on life.
Teacher used to make me stay after school, but learning was never quite like this !
I expect you already know this, but I just wanted to let you know how important what you are doing for people with this channel is!
Glad to be of some service

There's something to this. I had a similar experience with Ayahuasca and it definitely changed me. Opened my eyes to so much more that my Christian Life until I was 35 restricted or couldn't explain.
I'm forever grateful for the experience and am now very clear why those in power ban psychedelics.
It is crazy to me that psychedelics do to the mind naturally with no known negative side effects what electric shock therapy attempts to do... but EST can kill healthy brain tissue! And yet, that is the legal method of altering neural pathways in a person's mind. Satan is clearly at work here with that messed up logic.
I would like to experience something like that.
Man, this is so nicely put together that it flows like life itself. Thx a lot. Please keep on. Bless!
I thought about this toward the end of last year. Near death experiences give you a whole new perspective of life. And not a dramatic thing but an actual experience where death could’ve been a real possibility but in a split second you feel god’s mercy on you and hear his voice. I manifested that experience life has been open doors since.
“January 27th 2007 is a day that will live in infamy, at least in my backyard, anyway. That day, I had the greatest stroke of luck ever! I had a brain-stem hemorrhagic stroke. ‘It was the worst of times, it was the best of times.’ I was in hospital for almost 4 months. I was very lucky to live. The nurses and doctors who took care of me inspired me to become a nurse. What they do for their fellow man, I thought, I could also do. It was my calling. As Jung says, Until the unconscious is made conscious, it will continually appear outside as fate. Did my reckless abandon in living life cause my stroke? Why, yes it did. But it had to happen for me to blossom. It was an unconscious process that led to the conscious life I lead now. Therefore, I have no regrets. I was in a coma for six weeks and I was clinically dead a couple of times. While I was in ICU, I got direct existential and undeniable first-hand knowledge that the spirit could live outside the body. I had an out of body experience where there were two beds, with me in both, and the Ocean of Consciousness said to me, ‘The one on the right cannot live. Only the one on the left can.’ In a way, I was born again. But what I have to say to you is, 'Noli timere' - 'don't be afraid.” -His Holiness Scabber Sam, Discordian Pope
Don't be afraid! Sounds simple huh? Once achieved though you are unstoppable and can go were or when you want.
Dmt changed my life. I'm now 100% convinced that we are all part of the same divine energy that creates everything.
Had it once but never had a breakthrough.
@@BboyKeny Try again.. It's worth it.
Where to look for dmt ? I want to try it
@@assassin1942 you can extract DMT from Memosa bark
@@assassin1942 In the Netherlands you can do it kind of legally, I did it there.
Psilocybin induces the most self-ruminating 8 hours that you could have. Totally worth it, however, because you feel absolutely reborn after the experience. It’s the greatest equalizer for humanity.
After Skool, once again Im very thankful for your supreme drawings, and episodes, love them. Gonna buy the book also. =) Cheers for being awesome
Awakening is a thing... when the part of you that clings dies, you don't fear death anymore

And a process. Proceed. ☮️❤️🙏🏻
Yes
I never comment on videos. I never feel the need to respond. But a major part of myself within my being wants to thank you for sharing this with such inspiring clarity.
I completely shattered with emotion, and I absolutely love connecting with my emotions: I now see the beauty of Energy-Motion; feelings, creation, expression & all...
Steps along collective/Our awakening like this remind me just how powerful all of our beautiful individual collective expressions actually are, but even more-so, just how important it is to share what we learn and feel like this.
I sincerely see, hear, and honor You greatly!

I have indolent Mantel Cell Lymphoma. It has recurred 3 years after chemo. The symptoms progressed for a decade before my diagnosis as advanced 4th stage. I was misdiagnosed as CHF for years. I knew I was dieing. So, I made DMT and found that perfect peace and total unconditional love that can only come from God. It was truly transcending and the most important events of my life. I was taken to my place of origin where every thing and everyone was familiar to me. Every time I hear an NDE story the things they describe are similar to my many journeys. I know where I am going when my time here is over and I am not afraid.

You are a true spirit, that has already found the meanings.
@@deadtreebark I think you have my cancer confused with allergies.
@@bryanburnside9783 what do you have to lose lol
Much respect for you and your path. May we all be blessed w compassion, a beautiful trail, and enough air in the tires to enjoy the ride! 1 ❤️
Great perspective and very succinct.
Well done.
Don't know why you'd need more than this.
From somebody who has taken psychedelics, my advice is to stay far away from LSD, but magic mushrooms are pretty damn safe, as long as you take care to prep yourself before hand. Generally being outside in a big open field of private property is the best.
"The meaning of life is to give life meaning."
YOU are the only one who can limit your greatness.

I happen to have done so. Successfully.

@@w.8424 you are always capable of change, but all change begins internally . The external is a mirror reflection of the internal.
another fantastic video- helping people awaken everywhere-information like this was never available at except in books when I was younger in the 80s/90s
Psychedelics 100% changed my life for the better. I am present every day now and am no longer distracted from my life.
As a diabetic I experience different degrees of “little deaths”. When I developed type 1 at age 32, I had to become mindful of everything I consumed. As a side effect I became mindful of everything.
If you wanna not have Diabetes anymore, learn about water fasting.
@@suxcesss type 1 diabetes is pancreatic organ failure. Type 2 is the type that is treated through fasting and diet. A condition like type 1 in name only.
@@GameOfDepth Your pancreas is fine, just confused. Reset your body with fasting (not just intermittend), start working out daily, and eat whole and healty. In 2 months you are healed. Trust me on this one.
@@suxcesss your assumptions, while well intended, are dangerously under-informed.
@@GameOfDepth It's neither dangerous to work out, nor to eat whole and healthy, nor to fast with basic information, there is no excuse with the knowlege of the world at your finger tips. But okay, you can lead a horse to water...

For example. Instead of smoking weed or any drug that releases the dopamine in our brain, we must learn how to release this chemical manually within us
I've had mine, too. A few times. I didn't remember until later though. Everything I saw, I knew without a shadow of doubt, was me too. The moon, the trees, the mountains, the other people. I knew them like my own heart, because they were me and I was them. Kind of like your arms and your legs are both you, yet they are also aware that you are part of them too. I also knew that everything was fine and it was all like a perfect "existing." Nothing needed to be done or undone at all. I think the horrors of the world are caused by people not knowing this.
You are god experiencing itself through linear progression (in every infinite direction, something like recursion with a line over it, with a line over it, with a line over it, etc...). You are the whole, divided, containing the whole, not knowing so that you may experience rediscovering the whole.
When you don't know it:
1 divided in 2 = 0.5 divided in 2 = 0.25 / 2 = 0.125 and so on.
And when you try to solve your equation, you get an answer that feels like something is missing.
When you know:
1 divided in 2 = 1 squared divided in 2 = 1 to the power of 4, and so on.
And when you solve the equation, whatever division you may be, you know that the answer is 1.
Truly mind-blowing that you managed to go this entire video with saying DMT once
Ikr, frustrating
EATING LOTS OF TURKEY AND HAVE THE SAME EFFECT. IT'S FULL OF TRYPTOPHAN.
drugs are the answer! you can only find god & enlightenment through drugs! humans are fundamentally incapable of understanding life without ingesting substances!
Smoke toad venom
@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol Looking for where anyone said that 🙄
Brian Muraresku is an absolute sheer force of knowledge on this subject. Watching his podcast with Joe Rohan blew my friggn mind.
Check out Mike Tyson talking about his experiences smoking the toad poison. 5MEO of that and you'll experience death like the Greeks. FOR SURE!
Thank you for your wonderful and amazing work. You are so appreciated. May you be blessed!
It wasn’t until I started asking questions about the religion I grew up with about where people really came from did I start to find the answers and to feel fulfilled and stopped feeling constantly lonely. 2 and half years later I’ve already experienced miraculous things, some of which I can’t begin to explain, some of which are so incredible they sound like fiction and I wouldn’t believe them unless I hadn’t experienced them myself. And now I fully believe in God, reincarnation, and afterlife when I previously had my doubts. But all these things were not what I was expecting. All without “drugs” just spiritual work the likes of which seem “ridiculous” to any outsider but I think that shrooms may be the faster/easier path for the layman. But without a foundation of info to build on, they’d just take their “oh neat spiritual experience” and go back to their ego absorbed lives. We’ll get there, but it’s going to take a long time and a lot of work.
Yeah I’ve seen so many “I can confirm this video” comments and they have a lot of good things but they all have been derived from the worldly alteration of neurochemistry, and the lie is that it is the meaning itself. It is worldly in nature and the ego death brings you to terms with your mortality. But God does actually exist and these trips are a distraction from the actual higher power, they are unbelievably surreal tricks to mislead one away from God. I can only pray these people come to find him.
