I think everything in life is spiritual, and psychedelics are just an even more intense manifestation of that. I think psychedelics like Ayahuasca should only be used in a spiritual way, to show a glimpse of the immense mystery of this universe that we live in. They can be helpful to show someone the spiritual reality of this life. But a great danger to them I think is if someone is not spiritual and doesn't get anything spiritual from psychedelic use, in that case then I think psychedelics can backfire and just make the ego stronger and more intense which just leads far away from anything spiritual and just leads to more misery. Psychedelics are a double edged sword, and I think the great increase in marijuana usage is not helping most people find the spiritual side of life but instead is just strengthening their egocentricity, greed, aggression, and insanity. Also Tom, I've just found out about the work of Stephen Meyer. He works about how evolution can't be explained without intelligent design being involved. Evolution is real, but it's a spiritual thing. I believe it's connected to reincarnation, and souls growing and evolving, becoming more intelligent. The world is a hellhole because of all the violence and aggression going on. All that violence is happening because we evolved from aggressive animals, and we are still evolving and slowly overcoming our vicious, aggressive, and selfish animal instincts. Spirituality is about overcoming our violent animal instincts, and instead finding intelligence and evolving and becoming fully human and loving. Please look up Stephen Meyer. I really think you will find his work interesting. It would be amazing to hear you and Dakota interview him one day. Take it easy bro, stay safe, peace.
everyone forgets the rest of the phrase! “curiosity killed the cat - but satisfaction brought it back”. i’ve got a few years before i’m ready for an ayahuasca ceremony, and every little bit of preparation i can do helps, thanks for the video tom! love from oregon ✌️
Funny how they decide to just totally pesimise sayings, "a jack of all trades but master of none is still better than a master of one" also comes to mind
I can tell you’re becoming a much more humble and mature man as your videos go on Tom. Great to see your growth; you’re an inspiration to me like a big brother. Sending love your way 🙏❤️
Humble or just stoned. We all can get stoned, not all of us can be humble,but..when u take this. Common sense is rare. All things that cant be explained. I dont do drugs but its just common sense n research. We were all born with "common" sense, it's just y is "common" sense so rare. Shouldn't we all call it "rare sense"? Who came up with the saying " curiosity killed the cat",maybe he was high n had no idea he really had NO cat from the start. Curiosity doesn't kill cats. Im curious about alot of things n they dont die.Again,who 1st said curriosity killed the cat. U sound like u are drug dependant to try n find reality
Thank you mate; your advice is very helpful. I am 75 y.o. And, once again I'm at a crossroads. I've been using psychedelics since the 60's but I still have unresolved and unclear issues that probably are fear-based. I have been thinking about using ayahuasca for a while, I have been invited to a session but declined. Still unsure of the path to take but you are completely right; psychedelics opened me up to many dimensions of myself, particularly Love but have not resolved my basic issues. Once again thank you for your clear and enlightened advice. Bless you mate. 🙏🏼
Aya is incredible. Everytime I've set an intention Aya takes me where I need to go. Once I set the intention to feel at peace within myself to experience joy. The start of the experience I had my eyes closed and saw the clown from IT. I opened my eyes and saw the clown clearer than ever. I asked why as I seeing this. I was told you expect the worse So I'm giving you what you expect . I said I don't want this. Then I heard let go the negative thinking and expect the best. . The clown went away. I then purged alot. I purged then oriental type paper type balloons that were labeled anger, hate and fear . As I purged these balloons got bigger and bigger. Seeing what this negative energy looked like in my body. I said ok I got it im done. Haha. Aya said no this is all is still in you. I thought I was purging basketballs labeled with negative thoughts and feelings. Only bile was coming up at this point. Finally I stopped and said I get it, I see what this negative energy does to you. What an experience.Aya then said go back and drink more. If you trust me your experience will be great, but only if you trust me. I said ok. I will. I went up two more times and had a great experience. Once after my realizing I did this 3 times I started to think crap I did this 3x what's going to happen and started to panic. Mother Aya said STOP trust me. I have you. I always have. Let go release. . I did and saw that my outlook weather positive of negative was all within me . I can change it. Like to said Aya doesn't give you what you want or expect. It gives you what you need. Great videos. I like also like Huachuma and Bufo .
This is incredibly insightful actually and some genuine advice applicable to all psychedelics. Thanks for what you do Tom! You are a huge source of harm prevention but also how to truly get the most out of the experience. Hope everyone who sees this has a blessed day and that you harmonize with your highest frequencies 🤘
It is the magician’s bargain: give up our soul, get power in return. But once our souls, that is, ourselves, have been given up, the power thus conferred will not belong to us. We shall in fact be the slaves and puppets of that to which we have given our souls. C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
Spot on! I agree about it being two completely different beasts. Ive had some friends actually becoming dependent on psychedelics to make them look at things differently but never ACTUALLY changing anything. Gladly they are better these days and this personality trait was not contagious to me
You have to be aware that you are aware. You can be aware that things are dark and not be able to see how it's impacting your life or what you need to do to change it, and also not feeling it at a soul level that you NEED to change these things. But when you are FULLY aware of your awareness of your own darkness, our own toxic traits, cycles, behaviors etc, in the moment that they are happening, that is consciousness at its truest being. IMO. So it's like being the darkness and knowing you are that and also being outside of that, viewing it, and saying to yourself, like, yeah...this isn't too great of a feeling, I should change these things. Yeah. That's the sweet spot. ;) Thanks, Tom. Been following for years on another email account and realized I never see your vids on this account and checked in. Glad I did. Cheers, m8.
I really do worry about those who cling to their behaviors who are unwilling to learn out of them, and do Aya. And get absolutely face fucked by what they refuse to see. Those folk need deeper healing beforehand. And they have to want it. Too many folk don't even know what they want to heal or they don't even want to heal in the first place, and go there hoping it's a miracle cure
@@yourmatetom I feel that people are often stuck in surface level, self created narratives of how things are. That pads the impact of fully realizing ones own issues. And then psychs go ahead and destroy that facade entirely lol
@@sadhu7191 I've been there as well, and i realized that to fix this, for me at least, i realized the trip was telling me "here's how you normally feel but without any crutches. Figure out why you are anxious" and I began studying what I may be doing wrong mentally and activity wise, and eventually found some answers. It can definitely help heal, but you have to make clear to the mushroom and yourself, how exactly it can help you/realize what it's trying to show you. Lol my issue was that I was binging youtube videos for a while at the time, sitting inside without windows. When tripping I was desperately scrolling to keep the dopamine flowing, getting viciously anxious wondering where the rainbows are lol. Realized said thing I said above, panicked to the point where I had to put everything down and go outside, and afterwords I realized what the issues have been, and to learn to stretch out my attention span by say reading or just sitting outside for an hour. Lol my b for the over sharing, a bit tired and thought why nit
Love your content Tom, even though I can't take psychedelics any more due to a mental health condition. It's still very entertaining and insightful, can't thank you enough
Psychedelics are really great. One time I was trippin on too much acid and I was staring at a fire pit and the fire pit turned into a mini world with little people and buildings, it's such a wonderful experience. Would love to trip on Ayahuasca or magic mushrooms next just don't know where to get them, so hard to find
Do not look in mirrors or ur phone it can ruin the trip, I looked in my full size mirror once and I got so scared and thought something was coming after me (I was just moving closer 💀) it ruined my trip
The talk about drug addiction really hit home. After a 7 gram psilocybin trip I realized how bad and why my cocaine addiction got to where it was. Haven't touched it since. Haven't had a single withdrawal or desire to do it. It definitely saved me.
I had 4g's of subs yesterday, massively cathartic experience. I was crying like a baby for an hour. Man I needed it, I felt so good afterwards and still do. I realised I haven't cried in years and it's not healthy, as a male especially an aussie male its not what is done which is stupid I know. I'm so thankful to the mushroom for this experience, these plants and fungi can be so healing but on the flipside they can bring on psychosis. I had a friend lose it a few weeks ago saying he was going to kill another friend and I think he would have done it if the circumstances allowed
Thanks, mate Tom. Those are quite important things to know. You explained it succinctly. So, basically, we can say that Ayahuasca acts as a teacher. And a teacher can never do the work for us, can never solve anything for us, she can only show us and explain certain things so that we may understand better.
Only starting watching when I seen your recent pod with Jarrad in all honesty, so I’m a recent subscriber but wow I’m from the UK and feel like we live such similar paths it’s mind boggling !! So grateful to have found your content, I hope our paths cross in the near future !
Ive got quit the psychedelics story, did everything I shouldnt do but with the mushrooms. Kept going deeper and deeper, met Alien Computer like consciouness being, they were like, "guiding" me in some sense, giving me power through knowledge. But I was ignorant at the time on what was happening to me, I was mushtout of my mind, going to my MMA gym just pulling pro technique out of my ass like ive been training my whole life, with a out of this world calmness. With time, Im seeing like it was the knowledge of the gods that was coursing through my consciouness. But God couldnt let this happen, and showed up after a week of me having the power of knowledge, and believe me or not, one night, still going strong on mushrooms, I was in direct conscious connection with heaven, and all the heavenly host, saints angels, and who ever is there. At the same time, walking with a theosis like consciouness, Saying, "I Am God, everything around here belongs to Me" and trust that I was walking like it too, I was out of my mind brother !!! Keep in mind, throughout all time, I was COMPLETLY ignorant about about, jesus, aangels, whatever biblical stuff, I was raise full secular, no religious background, like I said, I did everything you said here that I shouldnt do. Gosh my story is much more than that, many more details. Ive seen with knowledge, and now, the thoughest for me, is not being able to be understood, but praised be to God, ive seen what was already there, So I just need to articulate what I saw, because it is the truth !!!!!
@@sprocastersprocaster Well kinda, sometimes when I get lost in my reasoning of why , I can see the ultimate good it in, yes, but I see how I could do the ultimate evil aswell, and thats worrying for me. I know for a fact that God exist, so when im asking question, I cleary hear the voice of evil saying that it as an answer, trying to make me give in to it. Its mad, but in the end, I always put my trust in Christ.
I feel like you should study Buddhist philosophies and practice meditation before even touching psychedelics for the first time so you can cultivate the proper mindset going into it. Also fuck flying to a foreign country to do ayahausca, just do Pharmahausca it's so much better and you can do it in the comfort of your own environment.
I literally have never commented on a single YT video, but I wanted to say thank you so much for making this content and emphasizing the importance of using psychedelics responsibly and for the right reasons, and also speaking on the psychosis and darkness that one can experience if done for the wrong reasons. I can speak to that psychosis and darkness, and I would definitely agree that environment and who you experience these things with can completely change your trip. To anyone with curiosity, please practice humility, and use with guides who have experience with whatever it is you are taking.
Totally agree with you. I had my first ayahuasca ceremony on February and if you want to really change you habits it’s up to you, I am trying as much as I can to discipline myself and continue to improve. Also if you don’t have a real purpuse you shouldn’t do that, for example on my retreat there were 2 girls from US that haven’t got any wish or desire from drinking the brew in fact in 4 ceremonies they haven’t experienced pretty much anything intense or emotional because their mind was blocked I think they just wasted their time
I think it is very reasonable to caution people about ayahuasca. Somehow i feel that you might just give them wrong impressions about the medicine based on your experiences. The quote „..it does not give you what you want, but what you need“ feels very true and pure. One should meditate on this. And go into a ceremony once they have no idea what they think they Need. But still having pure intentions. Just go for it but don’t think it’s a way out.
I’ve been documenting my methadone detox and the use of this medicine is beyond helpful for the mental, emotional and physical healing!! Thank you for this video!! 💪✌️❤️
two major giveaways: Dont depend on outside things to heal. I think also that independence and the reward of untangling something in your own way can show you interdependence and where you might need to go express that independence. Which relates to what you say about that ayahuasca doesn’t give you something in itself, and that it is your daily will/expression that carries the knowledge out. That you call embodied knowledge/ wisdom, which i also thought was beautiful :)
Everytime I do psychedelics, weather the experience is good or bad, I build new habits. My issues is it rarely last for more than 2 months. I go back into my old habits
It needs to sink in and then in reality u take firm action continually. Then it becomes easier in time as u revisit the trips too. I now been sober from alcohol over 2 yrs and my life has vastly improved
Love your content bro, thanks for the info. One question tho, you mentioned "be willing to put in the work afterwards" I want to do that, but what work is that? Is it about changing the things that you know are toxic in your life or is it about following a more serious path about spirituality and start learning about consciousness?
What if the reason I am unhappy is (or seems to be) I have no idea where I am aiming and really don't know how to find my path. Is it a good idea to try ayahuasca and hope it shows me my path? In that case I feel like I would not really go in with a long-term plan. But that's the thing I want to heal - not having one.
One day when the times right i would like to experience Ayahuasca and will take your trusted advice with me. Right now i'm happy to listen to other peoples experiences and enjoy meditation for now. 🌵👽🌵
What if you now live in your childhood home as an adult and your parents live elsewhere, but they left a lot of really old stuff behind and you are drawn to seek help from ayahuasca to break through subconscious resistance, complication, or stagnation to completely change the space and let go tons left behind? Do you think it is even possible to transmute a childhood home into a new space of its own that serves you? Is creative transformation possible in that scenario? Technically speaking it's just an apartment, and the rent is extremely advantageous.
What are your thoughts on the purging aspect of Ayahuasca? It seems that it somehow physically removes "dark" things but even tho I did experience it I do not really know what it is or if we are even meant to access this kind of stuff.
I psychs don't really work for me, I also don't have an internal monologue or mental imagery, which I believe to be partially related to why psychs don't work. With all that said, when psychs "do something" they don't help with like introspection. I am not really capable of being introspective.. It makes psychs not incredibly useful ig
Your brain is definitely wired differently. I’ve heard the lack of inner monologue and imagery can make you more immune to anxiety, depression, and ptsd. Sometimes I’ve wished I didn’t have such a vivid imagery and loud monologue that never shuts up :/
Vsauce did it out of sheer curiosity in a series where he tried other mind altering substances in each episode as well. I fail to see the evidence in which one doing it in that regard would likely have a bad outcome, especially considering that even if you have a purpose in mind, it may still result in a bad trip anyway, so how is this indicative of anything? And this is related to another comment I left in your previous video, if you personally did it because you were in a dark place, then what authenticity do you have to express on whether or not its a bad idea if one does it out of curiosity?
@@yourmatetom buddy, you of all people should know that there is little room for error when it comes to such things, and in that regard, I see my questions as pretty reasonable, and the fact that you apparently took offense to them would only mean that you do too little thinking, so I’ll take your empty rhetoric on good faith, cheers.
@@faisalsukhtian1932 forgive my brash response, it was meant to be taken lightly, as I tend to overthink these things. This video was 15 minutes long, that barely skimmed passed these deep and nuanced topics. These “tips” are general rule of thumbs, not immutable principles. I could absolutely see how in some cases, drinking Ayahuasca out of curiosity (especially documenting it to educate the world) can actually lead to benefit. The only reason I say that it generally isn’t a good idea to drink Ayahuasca out of curiosity is the domino effect it has on naive westerners wandering around the Amazon which has notoriously dodgy shamans waiting to pounce on people. Context is everything, however, imo, I would say that drinking aya purely out of curiosity is a bad a idea for most people. But that’s just my 2 cents. I didn’t mean to “retort” your statement. I was making a bad joke. I love ya mate, please don’t take my response so seriously. I actually agree with you comment, but I still think you’re overthinking it :p Much love
@@yourmatetom I also apologize, it’s bothersome for me to leave comments like my previous one, irrelevant of whether I’m right or not(though the guilt scale would heavily depend on the person I’m engaging with 😂) I guess the fasting in this month can cause a bit of irritability. And also I appreciate the elaboration, it initially felt like gatekeeping at first, but with this I can see where you’re coming from. I personally don’t get falling prey to dodgey shamans due to the fact that a reasonable individual would study about a resort before booking there rather than treating it like an open buffet, but it’s not too hard to imagine such gullibility unfortunately. Much love. P.S: Could you please tell me what the background music in part 2 of “the greatest lie in spirituality” is? I’ve been searching endlessly for it, and I’m more than positive its not done by Waywell :P
Look Mr. Tom ,3 years I've been watching and I wanna say that your doing great! In addition at a 7:01 to 7:29 or so you say that going into this without experience is unique and I get it , but either way, probably should have talked on the fact that " if" your an experienced psycho-naut then your probably ok depending on dosages
This channel is my bread and butter. I haven’t figured out what really slaps on Raw Spirituality. I think I’ve made 2 videos on that channel that actually popped.
@@yourmatetom ah ok. I think the channel is doing good. CZcams growth is slow for channels that are actually delivering something that has eternal value 🙂
@@yourmatetom and just for fun, sometime you can see my video on “fake spirituality”. I think you would appreciate it. That’s why I was happy to find your channel. It was breath of fresh air!
People break drug addiction in one session, overcome massive childhood trauma and heal from suicidal depression with the help of psychedelics. And you cant even quit pot? Sorry mate, whats wrong here?

Realized said thing I said above, panicked to the point where I had to put everything down and go outside, and afterwords I realized what the issues have been, and to learn to stretch out my attention span by say reading or just sitting outside for an hour. Lol my b for the over sharing, a bit tired and thought why nit
Love your content Tom, even though I can't take psychedelics any more due to a mental health condition. It's still very entertaining and insightful, can't thank you enough
Psychedelics are really great. One time I was trippin on too much acid and I was staring at a fire pit and the fire pit turned into a mini world with little people and buildings, it's such a wonderful experience. Would love to trip on Ayahuasca or magic mushrooms next just don't know where to get them, so hard to find
Wanna try, but keep being told I can’t do it alone for the first time but I’d literally be so much more comfortable alone
@@userconspiracynut is he on IG or what?
Do not look in mirrors or ur phone it can ruin the trip, I looked in my full size mirror once and I got so scared and thought something was coming after me (I was just moving closer 💀) it ruined my trip
@@userconspiracynut thank you
@@userconspiracynut Jesus christ ur about to get scammed ir so gullible dude
The talk about drug addiction really hit home. After a 7 gram psilocybin trip I realized how bad and why my cocaine addiction got to where it was. Haven't touched it since. Haven't had a single withdrawal or desire to do it. It definitely saved me.
I had 4g's of subs yesterday, massively cathartic experience. I was crying like a baby for an hour. Man I needed it, I felt so good afterwards and still do. I realised I haven't cried in years and it's not healthy, as a male especially an aussie male its not what is done which is stupid I know. I'm so thankful to the mushroom for this experience, these plants and fungi can be so healing but on the flipside they can bring on psychosis. I had a friend lose it a few weeks ago saying he was going to kill another friend and I think he would have done it if the circumstances allowed
Thanks, mate Tom. Those are quite important things to know. You explained it succinctly. So, basically, we can say that Ayahuasca acts as a teacher. And a teacher can never do the work for us, can never solve anything for us, she can only show us and explain certain things so that we may understand better.
Only starting watching when I seen your recent pod with Jarrad in all honesty, so I’m a recent subscriber but wow I’m from the UK and feel like we live such similar paths it’s mind boggling !! So grateful to have found your content, I hope our paths cross in the near future !
FIRST COMMENTOR
You're awesome, Tom!
Ive got quit the psychedelics story, did everything I shouldnt do but with the mushrooms.
Kept going deeper and deeper, met Alien Computer like consciouness being, they were like, "guiding" me in some sense, giving me power through knowledge.
But I was ignorant at the time on what was happening to me, I was mushtout of my mind, going to my MMA gym just pulling pro technique out of my ass like ive been training my whole life, with a out of this world calmness.
With time, Im seeing like it was the knowledge of the gods that was coursing through my consciouness.
But God couldnt let this happen, and showed up after a week of me having the power of knowledge, and believe me or not, one night, still going strong on mushrooms, I was in direct conscious connection with heaven, and all the heavenly host, saints angels, and who ever is there. At the same time, walking with a theosis like consciouness, Saying, "I Am God, everything around here belongs to Me" and trust that I was walking like it too, I was out of my mind brother !!!
Keep in mind, throughout all time, I was COMPLETLY ignorant about about, jesus, aangels, whatever biblical stuff, I was raise full secular, no religious background, like I said, I did everything you said here that I shouldnt do.
Gosh my story is much more than that, many more details. Ive seen with knowledge, and now, the thoughest for me, is not being able to be understood, but praised be to God, ive seen what was already there, So I just need to articulate what I saw, because it is the truth !!!!!
That sounds like such a wild era of life, I hope you’re doing well and have adjusted to that lol
@@sprocastersprocaster Well kinda, sometimes when I get lost in my reasoning of why , I can see the ultimate good it in, yes, but I see how I could do the ultimate evil aswell, and thats worrying for me. I know for a fact that God exist, so when im asking question, I cleary hear the voice of evil saying that it as an answer, trying to make me give in to it.
Its mad, but in the end, I always put my trust in Christ.
Wjere you get your hash bro?
@@sadhu7191 lol what?
I feel like you should study Buddhist philosophies and practice meditation before even touching psychedelics for the first time so you can cultivate the proper mindset going into it.
Also fuck flying to a foreign country to do ayahausca, just do Pharmahausca it's so much better and you can do it in the comfort of your own environment.
Whats pharmahuasca
I literally have never commented on a single YT video, but I wanted to say thank you so much for making this content and emphasizing the importance of using psychedelics responsibly and for the right reasons, and also speaking on the psychosis and darkness that one can experience if done for the wrong reasons. I can speak to that psychosis and darkness, and I would definitely agree that environment and who you experience these things with can completely change your trip. To anyone with curiosity, please practice humility, and use with guides who have experience with whatever it is you are taking.
I think that was the best video I ever watched you make
Totally agree with you. I had my first ayahuasca ceremony on February and if you want to really change you habits it’s up to you, I am trying as much as I can to discipline myself and continue to improve. Also if you don’t have a real purpuse you shouldn’t do that, for example on my retreat there were 2 girls from US that haven’t got any wish or desire from drinking the brew in fact in 4 ceremonies they haven’t experienced pretty much anything intense or emotional because their mind was blocked I think they just wasted their time
I think it is very reasonable to caution people about ayahuasca. Somehow i feel that you might just give them wrong impressions about the medicine based on your experiences. The quote „..it does not give you what you want, but what you need“ feels very true and pure. One should meditate on this. And go into a ceremony once they have no idea what they think they Need. But still having pure intentions. Just go for it but don’t think it’s a way out.
I’ve been documenting my methadone detox and the use of this medicine is beyond helpful for the mental, emotional and physical healing!! Thank you for this video!! 💪✌️❤️
two major giveaways: Dont depend on outside things to heal. I think also that independence and the reward of untangling something in your own way can show you interdependence and where you might need to go express that independence. Which relates to what you say about that ayahuasca doesn’t give you something in itself, and that it is your daily will/expression that carries the knowledge out. That you call embodied knowledge/ wisdom, which i also thought was beautiful :)
Brotha ~ this vid truly help me better assess my experience with 🍄 Thank you for putting yourself out there 🙏
keep up the good work mate
Everytime I do psychedelics, weather the experience is good or bad, I build new habits. My issues is it rarely last for more than 2 months. I go back into my old habits
It needs to sink in and then in reality u take firm action continually. Then it becomes easier in time as u revisit the trips too. I now been sober from alcohol over 2 yrs and my life has vastly improved
You can still be an assole taking mushrooms. It don't have to make you a better person
Cheers for the hard work and quality content over the years tom :D keep smashing it mate.
Love your content bro, thanks for the info. One question tho, you mentioned "be willing to put in the work afterwards" I want to do that, but what work is that? Is it about changing the things that you know are toxic in your life or is it about following a more serious path about spirituality and start learning about consciousness?
What if the reason I am unhappy is (or seems to be) I have no idea where I am aiming and really don't know how to find my path. Is it a good idea to try ayahuasca and hope it shows me my path? In that case I feel like I would not really go in with a long-term plan. But that's the thing I want to heal - not having one.
They don't have to heal you. They are also for exploring. Then while in this reality focus on healing. It's gives u what u need not what u want
One day when the times right i would like to experience Ayahuasca and will take your trusted advice with me. Right now i'm happy to listen to other peoples experiences and enjoy meditation for now. 🌵👽🌵
easy work is drinking aya, hard work begins when you leave the ceremony
Great video tom
I don't think I'll be drinking any ayahuasca anytime soon, but these 5 principles seem useful anyway.
Good on you man, very wise 👏
i had cocaine before i did ayahuasca and i was in ecstasy for 10 hours straight
Brilliant video Tom, thanks for putting it out. Are there any Aya retreats that you would want to recommend?
Yeah... I think I’mma wait until I hit rock bottom to try Ayahuasca
Lol👍
nice one tom :)
Thank you Tom 🤍
This was wonderful. 🙏
What if you now live in your childhood home as an adult and your parents live elsewhere, but they left a lot of really old stuff behind and you are drawn to seek help from ayahuasca to break through subconscious resistance, complication, or stagnation to completely change the space and let go tons left behind? Do you think it is even possible to transmute a childhood home into a new space of its own that serves you? Is creative transformation possible in that scenario? Technically speaking it's just an apartment, and the rent is extremely advantageous.
Where can I find an ayuasca retreat if I live in Minnesota
I know that feeling of speaking from reason and clarity all too well although it's been a while...
What are your thoughts on the purging aspect of Ayahuasca? It seems that it somehow physically removes "dark" things but even tho I did experience it I do not really know what it is or if we are even meant to access this kind of stuff.
It's mushroom season look forward to seeing your finds
now it makes it makes sence
I psychs don't really work for me, I also don't have an internal monologue or mental imagery, which I believe to be partially related to why psychs don't work.
With all that said, when psychs "do something" they don't help with like introspection. I am not really capable of being introspective.. It makes psychs not incredibly useful ig
Your brain is definitely wired differently. I’ve heard the lack of inner monologue and imagery can make you more immune to anxiety, depression, and ptsd. Sometimes I’ve wished I didn’t have such a vivid imagery and loud monologue that never shuts up :/
Hey Tom 👋🏼 Have guy tried the Lucia Light bro..??
Vsauce did it out of sheer curiosity in a series where he tried other mind altering substances in each episode as well. I fail to see the evidence in which one doing it in that regard would likely have a bad outcome, especially considering that even if you have a purpose in mind, it may still result in a bad trip anyway, so how is this indicative of anything? And this is related to another comment I left in your previous video, if you personally did it because you were in a dark place, then what authenticity do you have to express on whether or not its a bad idea if one does it out of curiosity?
You’re overthinking too much
@@yourmatetom buddy, you of all people should know that there is little room for error when it comes to such things, and in that regard, I see my questions as pretty reasonable, and the fact that you apparently took offense to them would only mean that you do too little thinking, so I’ll take your empty rhetoric on good faith, cheers.
@@faisalsukhtian1932 forgive my brash response, it was meant to be taken lightly, as I tend to overthink these things. This video was 15 minutes long, that barely skimmed passed these deep and nuanced topics. These “tips” are general rule of thumbs, not immutable principles. I could absolutely see how in some cases, drinking Ayahuasca out of curiosity (especially documenting it to educate the world) can actually lead to benefit.
The only reason I say that it generally isn’t a good idea to drink Ayahuasca out of curiosity is the domino effect it has on naive westerners wandering around the Amazon which has notoriously dodgy shamans waiting to pounce on people. Context is everything, however, imo, I would say that drinking aya purely out of curiosity is a bad a idea for most people.
But that’s just my 2 cents. I didn’t mean to “retort” your statement. I was making a bad joke. I love ya mate, please don’t take my response so seriously. I actually agree with you comment, but I still think you’re overthinking it :p
Much love
@@yourmatetom I also apologize, it’s bothersome for me to leave comments like my previous one, irrelevant of whether I’m right or not(though the guilt scale would heavily depend on the person I’m engaging with 😂) I guess the fasting in this month can cause a bit of irritability. And also I appreciate the elaboration, it initially felt like gatekeeping at first, but with this I can see where you’re coming from.
I personally don’t get falling prey to dodgey shamans due to the fact that a reasonable individual would study about a resort before booking there rather than treating it like an open buffet, but it’s not too hard to imagine such gullibility unfortunately. Much love.
P.S: Could you please tell me what the background music in part 2 of “the greatest lie in spirituality” is? I’ve been searching endlessly for it, and I’m more than positive its not done by Waywell :P
Look Mr. Tom ,3 years I've been watching and I wanna say that your doing great! In addition at a 7:01 to 7:29 or so you say that going into this without experience is unique and I get it , but either way, probably should have talked on the fact that " if" your an experienced psycho-naut then your probably ok depending on dosages
You’re a badass Tom ❤️❤️🙏🏻
Tom, I composed a trippy song and would like you to hear it. How can I send it to you?
Why should anyone, who does not want to change, drink ayahuasca? The best mindset i think is to decide that i will accept everything that is shown.
you may want to see Ayahuasca again.
Well said…. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How can I message u tom ?
Email in description
What are some examples of putting in the work?
Meditation? I think you can never go wrong with that.
Hey brother, why did you choose to focus more on this channel than your previous channel- raw spirituality?
This channel is my bread and butter. I haven’t figured out what really slaps on Raw Spirituality. I think I’ve made 2 videos on that channel that actually popped.
@@yourmatetom ah ok. I think the channel is doing good. CZcams growth is slow for channels that are actually delivering something that has eternal value 🙂
@@yourmatetom and just for fun, sometime you can see my video on “fake spirituality”. I think you would appreciate it. That’s why I was happy to find your channel. It was breath of fresh air!
Do not drink ayahuasca if you need someone to tell you to do it
You make me feel normal
What's the price for unearned wisdom?
Bummed out
Insanity
People break drug addiction in one session, overcome massive childhood trauma and heal from suicidal depression with the help of psychedelics.
And you cant even quit pot? Sorry mate, whats wrong here?
Apreciando a una mujer tan hermosa. 2:6 sentadillas son unos SEXBABY.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. 5:25 Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world loso mortales abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer
