** Always prioritise safety, legality, medical advice, and skilled facilitation. **At 19, Kalden Davies speaks with the clarity of an old soul. In this wide-open, funny, and disarmingly honest conversation, we explore how psychedelic experiences (LSD, ayahuasca) can dissolve the illusion of separation, why integration matters more than “getting high,” and how choosing love over fear -moment to moment - recalibrates a life.We get into the Default Mode Network, ego traps (“you can't control it”), the Course in Miracles view that only perfect love exists, Rupert Sheldrake's morphic fields, Ram Dass, the politics of “peace vs liberation,” and why music is where light and sound meet.

This episode is about the union of the masculine and feminine. This union — this sacred harmony — is the key to accessing the source of all creation.Now imagine my surprise when I discovered that this union exists… in a cup of tea.Ayahuasca — a sacred tea made from two plants: one masculine, one feminine. And it's through the union of these two that we gain access to an intelligence that's been here since the beginning — the original AI — Ancient Intelligence or Ancestral IntelligenceWebsite: The Unplugged HumanWatch this episode on YoutubeGet a copy of The Unplugged JournalGet Pine Pollen, Tallow and a NEW HAT - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Podcast gear available at: https://deeper-you-go-the-weirder-it.myspreadshop.com/Feel free to reach out with questions: ayahumero@deeperyougo.comField Guide 9 (a group I conduct ceremonies for) - WebsiteDeeper you go Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpluggedhuman.life/Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And Sexier

In this mind-expanding episode, Darin sits down with Dani Fontaine — researcher, practitioner, and expert on the human body's forgotten communication system: the endocannabinoid system. They unravel how this network regulates everything from mood and sleep to pain and consciousness — and why it was deliberately scrubbed from mainstream medical education. Dani reveals how cannabinoids, light, sound, and nature all communicate with our body's receptor fields — shaping the way we feel, heal, and perceive the world. Together they explore the profound spiritual and scientific implications of this hidden system, and how it connects us back to balance, nature, and truth.     What You'll Learn 00:00:00 - Welcome to the SuperLife Podcast 00:00:32 - Sponsor: Energy Bits 00:01:52 - Introducing Guest Danny Fontaine: Cannabis Pioneer and Plant Medicine Healer 00:04:54 - Deep Dive: What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)? 00:06:30 - ECS: The Homeostasis and Retrograde Signaling System 00:09:20 - ECS as a Receptive System for Subtle Energies and Environment 00:10:23 - Endocannabinoid System Toning (X-Tone) 00:12:58 - When the ECS Gets Worn and Depleted 00:16:34 - ECS Receptors on Every Cell, Fascia, and Neural Makeup 00:19:14 - How the ECS Breaks Down: The Impact of False Light 00:22:11 - The ECS and Non-Photon Rich Food 00:23:40 - Modulating the ECS Through the Six Senses (Touch and Breath) 00:24:38 - Mitochondria and ECS Receptors (MTK, CB1) 00:25:14 - Endogenous ECS and the Need for Proper Nutrients 00:27:11 - Cannabis as our Phyto Twin: The Plant Factor 00:27:57 - THC and the Suppression of Anandamide (Bliss Molecule) 00:31:44 - Sponsor: Fatty 15 00:35:25 - The Vast Amount of ECS Research & Medical Suppression 00:38:27 - Cannabinoids, Pain, and Individual Assessment 00:40:29 - Modulating ECS with Nature: Terpenes like Pinene 00:42:51 - Olfactory System as the Most Sophisticated Input 00:47:03 - ECS as the "Microscope Moment" for Health 00:48:23 - Pinene, CB1, and TRP Receptors in Pain Management 00:50:39 - The ECS, Collagen, and Hyaluronic Acid Fluctuation 00:51:44 - Working with the ECS for Faster Results (Cancer and Genetic Mutations) 00:55:06 - Sponsor: SuperLife Patreon 00:56:39 - Measuring the ECS with Bio-Field Technology 00:57:29 - The Danger of THC Stacking and Immunosuppression 00:59:30 - Overwhelmed Cells and Fake Inputs 01:00:12 - Hemp as a Homeostasis Plant for the Planet (Soil Remediation/Carbon) 01:02:06 - ECS Strength in Animals vs. Humans 01:04:08 - Why Cannabis and Hemp Were Suppressed 01:07:07 - The Historical Use of Cannabis in Medicine 01:08:12 - Hemp's Nutritional Profile (Amino Acids and Omegas) 01:09:37 - Ayahuasca, Receptor Overexpression, and Looping 01:13:33 - Importance of ECS Knowledge and Application 01:14:58 - Exercise, Anandamide, and ECS Toning 01:15:22 - Cold Plunge and Shocking the ECS and Hormones 01:17:16 - Takeaways: Light, Movement, Sound, and Breath 01:21:41 - ECS: The Main Signaling and Communication System 01:23:28 - Final Thoughts: ECS as the Conduit to Self and Spirit     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

  In part 2 of our Embodying the Practice conversation, Andrew Marshall returns to talk about intimacy - with the medicine, and with the ones we love. We explore his experiences with Ayahuasca - the openings, the purges, the raw honesty of meeting himself and how that honesty now lives in his purpose and his relationships. What do we keep from our partners in the name of love?What truths sit unsaid in the body?And what does it take to speak from that place - unarmored, alive, fully present. This is a conversation about embodiment, truth, and the courage to see and face one's shadows when there's nowhere left to hide.

In this episode, I share a vision I had back in March of 2020. Now, if you remember that time, the world was gripped by fear. Authoritarianism was rising. Division was spreading. And mass compliance became the new normal.It was in the middle of that collective storm that I received a message —a vision — telling me that one day I would have to choose between two worlds...One world was a technological utopia… or maybe a dystopia, a place of machines, comfort, and control.The other was a primitive but beautiful world, a world in harmony with nature —free, raw, and alive.But there was a catch. I was told that once I made my choice, it would be permanent. There'd be no turning back.At the time, I truly thought that choice was coming soon. That the world we were living in — with lockdowns, passports, and fear — was the beginning of that divide.Thankfully, I didn't have to make that choice then. But now…with the rise of artificial intelligence, and the possibility of humans merging with machines…I can't help but wonder —was that vision a warning of what's still to come?Website: The Unplugged HumanWatch this episode on YoutubeGet a copy of The Unplugged JournalGet Pine Pollen, Tallow and a NEW HAT - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Podcast gear available at: https://deeper-you-go-the-weirder-it.myspreadshop.com/Feel free to reach out with questions: ayahumero@deeperyougo.comField Guide 9 (a group I conduct ceremonies for) - WebsiteDeeper you go Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpluggedhuman.life/Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And Sexier

[20251010] Crónicas de San Borondón ¿De qué manera nos engaña nuestra mente, percibiendo sólo la información que nos refuerza nuestras creencias, dando mayor crédito a las personas de poder o atractivas, o dejándonos llevar por el pensamiento grupal en contra de nuestro propio criterio?

Kim Meka shares her journey from narcissistic abuse to healing through plant medicine and radical self-discovery. After escaping a controlling marriage that stripped away her identity, Kim found restoration through ketamine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin therapies. She also discovered her ruptured breast implants were contributing to systemic inflammation, leading to their removal and a profound shift in her relationship with self-image and authenticity. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Narcissistic abuse is about control, not ego - True narcissism is a personality disorder where abusers systematically isolate victims from support systems, control finances, and erode self-worth through manipulation and gaslighting. Plant medicine can reset the nervous system - Kim's PTSD and trauma were effectively treated through ketamine (for depression), ayahuasca (for self-love and inner child healing), and psilocybin (for complete PTSD resolution). Physical and mental trauma are interconnected - Kim's ruptured breast implants went undetected for years, contributing to systemic inflammation that mirrored her emotional state during trauma. Healing requires integration work - While plant medicine provided breakthroughs, lasting healing came from daily practices: journaling, meditation, exercise, and surrounding herself with authentic relationships. Rock bottom can be a foundation for transformation - Losing everything—money, possessions, identity—forced Kim to rebuild authentically, leading to deeper fulfillment than her previous "perfect" life ever provided. FEATURED PRODUCT Bliss - Kim's journey highlights how trauma creates chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation. Bliss supports adrenal function and helps regulate cortisol levels—essential for recovering from trauma and managing the daily stress of healing work discussed in this episode.

True transformation doesn't come from avoiding discomfort, it comes from facing it. In this episode, Adam Quiney unpacks the Zen idea that “you cannot leave a place until you've been there” and explores how both ontological coaching and Ayahuasca reveal the same truth: real healing happens when we stop resisting and finally touch the very thing we fear.  

Are mystical experiences from drugs the same as Spirit-led visions? In this episode of the Seers See Podcast, Doug and Emily tackle the sensitive and timely topic of drugs, spiritual perception, and the Kingdom of God. Together we explore:Personal stories of spiritual curiosity, sobriety and naïveté about drugs.The modern drug landscape: marijuana legalization, ayahuasca retreats, “toking the Holy Ghost,” neo-pagan revivals, and why today's culture is drawn to altered states.Ancient Near Eastern practicesEvidence of mind-altering drug use in The Hebrew Bible?New Testament clarityTheological Reflection: Substances = manipulation, counterfeit, deception.  Spirit = God's initiative, trustworthy, transformative.Hope for today: If you've experimented with drugs for spiritual reasons, there's freedom in Christ.Authentic intimacy with God replaces counterfeit highs.Key takeaway: The Bible acknowledges that substances can alter perception — but warns against them as counterfeit pathways. True revelation and mystical vision come only from the Spirit of God.

Weltweit, auch in der Schweiz, erleben psychedelische Substanzen ein Revival. LSD, MDMA und Psilocybin – manchmal auch in Microdosen – sind aus der Partyszene nicht mehr wegzudenken. Aber auch im medizinischen Kontext werden sie immer häufiger gegen Depressionen oder Suchtkrankheiten eingesetzt. Die Schweiz mischt ganz vorne mit. Mit Ausnahmebewilligungen dürfen Psychiater und Psychologen LSD, MDMA, Ayahuasca oder Psilocybin einsetzen. Das Universitätsspital Genf hat eine eigene Abteilung dafür geschaffen und bildet Medizinstudierende entsprechend aus. Halluzinogene werden auch weiter erforscht, um Medikamente zur Behandlung von Depressionen, Ängsten, posttraumatischen Belastungsstörungen oder Suchterkrankungen herzustellen. Auf dem globalen Pharma-Markt winkt damit das grosse Geschäft, denn immer mehr Menschen haben psychische Probleme. Braucht es heute Tabletten oder einfach Ekstase, um das durchgetaktetes Leben auszuhalten? Ist die so erzielte Verbundenheit mit der Natur effektiv ein Weg zur psychischen Heilung und zu einer besseren Welt? Oder ist dieser neue Hype nur eine weitere Kommerzialisierung der Natur, bei der einige wenige Firmen grosse Gewinne machen? Der Film von Michèle Sauvain zeigt, wo die Schweiz steht.

Greg dives deeply into a bit of light in this time where so much sediment has been stirred up and has been making it hard to see.  We The People are opening to the understanding that we have more in common than in conflict.  We can unite and stand in compassion caring, and love for ourselves, one another and this world.  Just because we con't agree with everything pople express it is not enought reason to divide or even fight. We can disagree and respect one another. This show is all about recognizing and celebrating tha we are coming together.

In this episode, Brian and Hope sit down with spiritual guide, Reiki Master, and plant medicine facilitator Shellee Ray, who has been supporting people in their healing and awakening journeys since 1998. Together, they dive deep into the world of plant medicine, specifically Ayahuasca, and how it serves as a catalyst for profound transformation.Shellee shares her own powerful story of sobriety, her unexpected calling to Ayahuasca, and how she overcame the fears and stigma around working with this sacred medicine. She explains the origins of the brew, the importance of safe facilitation, and how the medicine meets each person exactly where they are — sometimes with gentleness, sometimes with fierce intensity.The conversation explores:The healing potential of Ayahuasca and how it differs from other plant medicines.Why safety and trauma-informed facilitation are crucial, especially in a field full of both authentic healers and unsafe, untrained guides.Integration as at least 50% of the work — how to carry the lessons into everyday life, relationships, and community.The role of music, ritual, and safe space in opening people to deep release and transformation.Who this medicine is for — and who it may not be safe for.Brian and Hope also share their own awakenings with Ayahuasca, including healing from addiction and shifting long-held survival patterns. Together with Shellee, they highlight how plant medicine can strip away old identities, trauma imprints, and protective masks, revealing deeper freedom, connection, and authenticity.This is a raw, honest, and heart-opening conversation about the challenges, risks, and profound gifts of walking the path with Ayahuasca — and how to discern safe spaces, honor the medicine, and commit to the lifelong integration process.Shellee Ray's Books:https://amzn.to/4n86nPQ

What might lead an adventurous spiritual seeker to renounce psychedelics, repent for his colorful past, and accept Jesus Christ as his lord and savior? In this powerful episode, I sit down with evangelist, podcast host, and men's work facilitator Will Spencer to explore his remarkable journey from New Age seeker to committed Christian. Will shares his background as an underground house music DJ who spent decades exploring psychedelics, including 15 ayahuasca ceremonies, transpersonal therapy, and occult practices like Kabbalah and tarot.We dive deep into the moral contradictions he discovered in New Age beliefs, particularly around karma and the problem of evil. Will explains how learning about child sex trafficking shattered his worldview and forced him to confront uncomfortable truths about spiritual practices he once embraced. His story takes a surprising turn when he describes meeting Christians at Burning Man who showed him a different path.Our conversation examines the spiritual dangers of ayahuasca, and explores how Christian faith transformed his understanding of everyday life, marriage, and moral responsibility. This episode offers hope for anyone seeking truth beyond the spiritual marketplace of modern culture.Will Spencer is an evangelist and adventurer who journeyed from Stanford University and the Dotcom Boom through 30 countries. He's explored spiritual traditions worldwide: from meditation in the Himalayas to ayahuasca retreats in the Amazon. The Lord found him at the Burning Man festival in Nevada. Now he hosts The Will Spencer Podcast and helps rescue men from destructive thinking and find their way to Christ.

In this conversation, Ashley delves into the profound personal transformations she experienced post her Ayahuasca journey and how these changes have impacted both her personal and business life.

Hey Diva listeners—this episode does contain descriptions of suicide and overdosing. If this would be difficult or challenging for you to hear, please take care of yourself and skip this episode. In episode 24, we are swimming in the sacred wisdom of the psychedelic underground with author, Rachel Harris, PhD as our guide. Rachel is a psychologist, researcher, and author of "Listening to Ayahuasca" and "Swimming in the Sacred: Wisdom from the Psychedelic Underground." In this episode: Rachel discusses her formative years at the Esalen Institute in the late 1960s, reflecting on the wild, unstructured, and sometimes dangerous environment that shaped her therapeutic roots. We explore Rachel's decades-long relationship with ayahuasca, including her personal relationship with the plant spirit. She also talks about her experiences with other psychedelics, and the importance of spiritual guidance and integration. Rachel explains the inspiration behind her books, especially "Swimming in the Sacred," which features interviews with 18 underground female guides—most with well over 20 years of experience. We discuss the unique wisdom and challenges of the feminine in psychedelic work, the importance of apprenticeship, and what's missing from modern psychedelic training programs. Rachel discusses the role of surrender, trust, and flexibility in both psychedelic journeys and life itself, including how these lessons prepare us for mortality.   Learn More About Rachel Harris PhD ·       https://www.swimminginthesacred.com ·       https://www.listeningtoayahuasca.com   Connect with Carla If you're inspired by this episode and want to stay connected, follow Carla and Psychedelic Divas on social media or visit the website to get your Psychedelic Safety Guide Including What to Do When Things Go Wrong: ·        Website: PsychedelicDivas.com ·        Carla's Coaching: CarlaDetchon.com ·        Instagram: https://instagram.com/psychedelicdivas ·        Subscribe & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review Psychedelic Divas.

In this episode of Mind Escape: New Telos, neuroscientist and author Andrew Gallimore joins us to discuss his groundbreaking book Death by Astonishment. We dive into the history of ayahuasca from Richard Spruce and William Burroughs to Shultes and the discovery of chacruna and then push forward into the future: DMT as a technology, machine elves, building alien worlds, and the metaphysical implications of the “filter” model of consciousness. Are these realms real, or are they archetypes generated by the mind? Could DMT be the bridge between neuroscience and metaphysics? And what would an extended-state “DMT technology” mean for humanity?

This episode is about a fascinating book titled the 4th Turning. According to the book we are deep in the winter or crisis season of history's cycle — and if you think things are crazy now, you better buckle up because over the next 5-years things are about to get a whole lot crazier, and possibly even darker. In this episode, I break down the cycles of history and why we are living through one of the most critical moments in human history.Website: The Unplugged HumanWatch this episode on Youtube Get a copy of The Unplugged JournalGet Pine Pollen, Tallow and a NEW HAT - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Podcast gear available at: https://deeper-you-go-the-weirder-it.myspreadshop.com/Feel free to reach out with questions: ayahumero@deeperyougo.comField Guide 9 (a group I conduct ceremonies for) - WebsiteDeeper you go Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpluggedhuman.life/Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And Sexier

This week, Jason and Matt sit down with a member of the TFTP family, former journalist Kevin Whitson. After contributing hundreds of articles over six years, Kevin has channeled his journalistic and educational skills into a powerful new book, The Paranoid Mystic's Guide to Ending Addiction Now Using Psychedelics. Written after the tragic loss of his son to an overdose in 2020, Kevin's book is a tactical guide for individuals to reclaim their sovereignty from addiction using ancient plant medicines. In this episode, we kick things off by diving into the foundational steps in Kevin's guide—the radical act of reclaiming one's biology by fixing gut health, eliminating processed foods, and mastering sleep before ever touching a psychedelic. From there, we explore the different tools in the psychedelic arsenal, from psilocybin and cannabis as an "exit drug" to the heavy hitters like Ayahuasca and Ibogaine. This leads to a crucial discussion, with Matt sharing his own transformative experiences, about where to draw the line between a professionally guided ceremony and the sovereign individual's right to heal themselves at home. The conversation also touches on the deeply personal question of using these tools to navigate profound grief, before zooming out to pontificate on the real reason these substances are illegal—as a direct threat to a control system that thrives on a fearful and divided populace. This is a heavy and deeply personal conversation, but Kevin's resilience and dedication to empowering others is a true inspiration. Despite the dark subject matter, the episode itself is a powerful white pill for the future of cognitive liberty.

We are doing something special in celebreation of episode 200. Instead of an interview, I recorded a straight-talk lecture on psychedelics. Together, we are going to explore what psychedelics are; why they are so interesting to research; and the chemistry, pharmacology, phenomenology, history, and current research on Psilocybin, DMT, MDMA, Ketamine, and Ibogaine.
