What are people actually encountering when they use psychedelics like DMT and ayahuasca?In Episode 50 of Ancient Roots of Life & Wellness, JT and Josh dive into the strange connection between psychedelics, spiritual entities, ancient witchcraft, fallen angels, and the biblical supernatural worldview.We also explore the mysterious Loretto staircase and the possibility of supernatural involvement in ancient construction before continuing our study through the Gospel of Nicodemus, also known as the Acts of Pilate.The text expands upon the trial of Jesus, the testimony of those He healed, Pilate's confrontation with the Jewish leaders, Barabbas, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, and events surrounding the crucifixion.Are some of the things modern culture calls “aliens,” hallucinations, or altered states actually spiritual phenomena?And how much of the supernatural worldview of the ancient world have we simply forgotten?Join us as we dig into the Ancient Roots.#AncientRoots #GospelOfNicodemus #DMT #FallenAngels #Bible #Ayahuasca #ActsOfPilate #SpiritualWarfare00:00 — Proverbs, Vampires & “Wicked Offspring”05:00 — Is Batman a Spirit of Fear?10:30 — Batman, Joker & the Gods of Fear18:00 — Fight Club, Demonic Possession & False Reality23:00 — Aliens, Ayahuasca & Spiritual Entities31:30 — Graham Hancock & the “Vine of the Dead”38:00 — Psychedelics, Witchcraft & Pharmakeia46:00 — The Mysterious Staircase Built by an Angel?52:00 — Supernatural Ancient Architecture56:45 — Gospel of Nicodemus / Acts of Pilate1:12:00 — A Forgotten Sign of the Messiah?1:14:00 — Pilate, Barabbas & the Trial of Jesus1:28:50 — Nicodemus & Joseph of ArimatheaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/joinTelegram Group: https://t.me/jtsmixtapeNew Trucker Hat: https://www.shopmmca.com/shop/p/jt-follows-jc-hat

Plant medicine doesn't happen by accident—it calls when something in your life is ready to shift. In this special episode of Jrodconcerts: The Podcast, host Jamie Rodriguez steps away from standard music industry talk to sit down with two incredible artists and close friends: soulful singer-songwriter Paul McDonald and heartland rocker/journalist Andrew Leahey. Together, the three of them open up about their shared journey to sit in ceremony and drink Ayahuasca. From the vulnerability of the open-air hut to the terrifying beauty of ego death, Paul, Andrew, and Jamie break down the entire experience with complete transparency. They explore why artistic identity gets dismantled under the medicine, the struggle to surrender mental control, the stark differences between recreational psychedelics and intentional ceremony, and the hard work of daily integration once you return home. Key Topics Explored: The Calling: Recognizing when you're ready for plant medicine Inside the Ceremony: The reality of the open-air hut and nighttime journeys The Art of Surrender: Confronting mental control and learning to let go Dismantling Identity: How Ayahuasca strips away the creator's ego The 95% Rule: Real-world integration and protecting new boundaries Therapy vs. Recreation: Reframing fear around plant medicine Connect with the Guests & Show: Paul McDonald: @thepaulmcdonald Andrew Leahey: @andrewleaheymusic Jrodconcerts: @jrodconcerts Website: jrodconcertsmedia.com Disclaimer: This conversation is intended for educational, storytelling, and harm-reduction purposes only.

Eight years ago, I travelled alone to Peru and drank ayahuasca seven times over two weeks.I went there after reaching a breaking point.From the outside, my life looked successful. Underneath it, I was lonely, guarded, abusing substances and carrying years of shame, rejection and unresolved experiences.Ayahuasca didn't magically fix my life.But something happened in Peru that changed the way I saw myself — and looking back eight years later, I can see a series of decisions that eventually created a completely different life.In this episode of Dear Christiano, I'm going back to who I was before Peru, the experiences that affected me most, what changed when I came home, what didn't change, the years of integration that followed and the question I've been thinking about ever since:Who would I be today if I'd never gone?Because maybe transformation isn't the moment everything changes.Maybe it's the moment something cracks open — and what we choose to do afterwards.This episode reflects my personal experience and is not medical advice or a recommendation to use ayahuasca or other psychedelics.

Hello, Im Joe Gonzalez aka Scuba Joe a disabled Navy Seabee who's seen his share of tragedies both on the battle field and off. Tragedies that have not only crushed me, my spirit, complete altered my way of life for the worse. After the 3rd time I couldnt help but ask, why? It truely never dawned on me that this (although accidents that were by my hand) it turned out it was!!! My ego, is what got me here. Yes, that doubled edge sword we all carry. The one that can save us or destroy us. I meet him face to face, while battling my PTSD and sitting with Ayahuasca. A game changer for me. Combined with my Vipassana medication practice I discovered a way to manage the demons in my head better. By embrassing them and too not allowing them to take over. Demons such as rage, depression, anxiety, addiction and revenge. I saw them as really bad roommates in my head, trying to own my space. But, they forget Im the landlord and its my place they are trying to monopolize. Thats not happening. Its a different take on complete on the AA or NA approach of complete abstinence, which I agree some folks do need to compelte remove the demons out. But some folks, like myself, learned they can better manage them this way and use that sharper edge, to build somehting great. TUrning a “mid life crisis” into a" mid life awakening!

In this episode I share about the integration process AFTER having experienced an ayahuasca ceremony and I discuss psychedelic therapy and how it has the potential to rewire the brain, change the mind and allow us to release blocks that may be keeping us attached to old programming. While I do not endorse psychedelic use and maintain that this is something to be taken very seriously and done under supervision by ethical practitioners, I am fascinated by the neuroscience and potential for psychedelic therapy to reset our brains and reprogram our limiting beliefs.Link to Michael Pollan's Book: How To Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendencehttps://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Mi...ZOOM BACKGROUND DESIGN BY FREEPIK.COM Music Credits: Track: Wandering — JayJen [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: • Wandering — JayJen | Free Background ...

Pharmakeia — Show Notes: Fight Laugh Feast Documentary In this Fight Laugh Feast documentary, CrossPolitic traces a single Greek word — pharmakeia — from Homer's Odyssey through the book of Revelation to argue that the ancient world never separated medicine from sorcery, and that the modern West's attempt to draw that line may be its most consequential mistake. The film follows materialism's promise from the Big Bang to the therapy couch, tracks the ladder from prescription pharmaceuticals to ayahuasca retreats in Peru, and asks why the men who most loudly deny the existence of demons are increasingly found in dark rooms communing with named spirit entities. Along the way it draws on C.S. Lewis, Aldous Huxley, Peter Hitchens, and the testimony of a man who sat in fifteen ayahuasca ceremonies — and what finally set him free.

Before Shannon Nering could talk about the ayahuasca ceremony that changed her life, her grandmother arrived first, pulling the conversation somewhere none of them expected. What started as an interview about Shannon's memoir, The Mother Vine: How I Healed My Heart with Ayahuasca, opened into a spontaneous, emotional reading connecting Shannon to her late grandmother, before moving into the heart of the book itself.  Shannon, a former TV producer and director who walked away from a career in television to move her family to Kauai, talks about the identity crisis that came with that move, the layered "mother" themes in her book (her grandmother, her mother, motherhood itself, and the "mother vine" — another name for ayahuasca), and how writing became a way to process grief that had been held in her body for years. She shares her first ayahuasca ceremony with the Shipibo tradition in the Amazon, contrasts it with gentler Kauai-grown medicine, and talks through what integration actually looks like day to day.  The she shares about The Living Lab, her seasonal reset program for women in midlife and beyond. Key Takeaways Grief doesn't just fade with time — it can live in the body for years, and creative or ceremonial work (writing, plant medicine, ritual) can finally move it through. Integration after a profound spiritual experience isn't a single moment; it's a daily practice — journaling, stillness, returning to the insight again and again. Fear passed down from a parent or grandparent often comes from love and protection, even when it later needs to be examined and released. You don't need to dive straight into strong plant medicine to access stillness, presence, or an open heart — there are gentler on-ramps. True healing touches four quadrants — mental, physical, emotional, spiritual — not just one. Notable Quotes Shannon, on plant medicine and ego: "You do not get to use your logical mind... it's an ego death." Shannon, on what she took from her ayahuasca ceremony: "The journey is actually inward... that's where it all happens."

Ospite del 209° episodio di Illuminismo Psichedelico è una nostra vecchia conoscenza, la giornalista Ilaria Giannini, che ci parla di maternità lisergiche, ovvero delle esperienze di madri che trattano la depressione post partum e la sindrome da stress post traumatico tramite il microdosing di funghi psilocibinici, e che si confrontano al riguardo sul portale Moms on Mushrooms, ideato dalla statunitense Tracey Tee. Oltre alle esperienze delle madri che tentano di autocurarsi col microdosing, nella puntata si è fatto riferimento a un farmaco psichedelico al momento ancora sperimentale, pensato proprio per trattare la depressoine post partum, il RE 104, cui sta lavorando Reunion Neuroscience.

The people teaching it have never grown a paying crop with it, but Chris Winters has, for over a decade, on a working organic vegetable farm in Tennessee.Chris is the founder of The Fertile Current and a medical qigong doctor who spent his first years farming fighting nature, using blood meal, bone meal, and every conventional organic input, until a crisis of conscience forced him to rebuild his soil fertility from scratch with rock minerals, biochar, and antenna systems that collect atmospheric charge.What he found broke the story that most organic farmers accept as fact. Bigger yields. Longer harvest windows. Pest pressure dropping by 85%. His farm is now fully transitioning to research mode because the production side has started to feel almost too easy.We also get into radionics, weather modification, why Japanese beetles use their wings as an inner ear, and why he thinks the real fertility crisis is a power supply problem, in the soil and in us.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[9:24] Your energetic connection to heaven and earth, and what fourth phase water reveals about Hadza hydration[31:31] How Chris's Nashville and Jamaica upbringing shaped his faith, and the beach hostage ordeal that followed[1:02:06] USDA organic labels don't matter, and the mistake of farming built on blood sacrifice[1:23:57] What electroculture actually is, and why the Instagram version gets it wrong[1:46:50] Cutting off the Strait of Hormuz symbolically means cutting off divine intelligence[2:03:45] How the antenna systems collect cations 15 feet up to power soil fertility[2:39:37] Why Japanese beetles vanish from low-voltage fields, and how bugs only attack already-weakened plants[3:05:14] How radionic field broadcasters power weather modification and Chris's training as a blind dowser[3:26:14] Medical Qigong, and why Chris pivoted his farm from vegetables to researchRelated The Way Forward Episodes:The 4th Phase of Water: The Blueprint for Biological Energy with Dr. Gerald Pollack | PodcastThought, Light & The Liquid Language of God with Veda Austin | PodcastPolarity Therapy, Dead Soil & Ayahuasca with Topher Gardner | PodcastThe Lies Modern Science Told Us About  Alchemy, Consciousness, & Quantum with Dr. Steven A.

In this thought-provoking episode, Reagan Kramer sits down with Christa Black Singh for Part 2 of an honest conversation about spiritual warfare, healing, and Christ's relentless pursuit of those who have wandered. Drawing from her own journey out of the New Age, Christa shares how God used years of deception, brokenness, and ultimately redemption to reveal His love and transform her life. Together, they explore topics such as generational patterns, bloodlines, DNA, prayer, communion, the "second heaven," spiritual discernment, and why Christians must learn to hear God's voice with wisdom and biblical conviction. The conversation also offers hope for anyone wrestling with unanswered prayers, infertility, trauma, divorce, or prodigal loved ones. Christa explains how her parents' faithful prayers, fasting, and unwavering trust in God became part of her journey back to Christ, reminding listeners that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace. Whether you're searching for deeper spiritual understanding or encouragement to keep believing for breakthrough, this episode is a powerful reminder that Jesus is always pursuing His children, bringing healing, redemption, and hope even in life's darkest seasons.

I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and today I'm joined by Gretchen Marteney for her second Entangled interview.In this conversation, Gretchen and I discuss the rise in collective consciousness, and the Great Awakening. Gretchen highlights how society is becoming more holistic and recognizing our interconnectedness. Next, we discuss Schumann Resonance and the Star Seed generation. We consider how the forces of empire have effectively implemented maritime law on the land, and how we're now reverting to common law.From there, Gretchen discusses how the education system is used to get people to not enjoy learning, and how the standardization of education was the beginning of the end. She warns against strangers raising our children and highlights that children are fundamentally of God and of their parents, not of the state.Next, we discuss the importance of physical development and why you should speak about things you want to change as if they were in the past. Gretchen highlights that intention is the energetic blueprint of all experience. From there, we discuss holographic blood, and how healthy human beings serve as the basis of a functioning society. We then consider free energy, cymatics, telepathy and epigenetics.Gretchen describes her Ayahuasca experience, and how the medicine enabled her to remove blocks from experiencing God. She describes her journey from being anti-God, to now God being the central focal point of her life.We then consider the inversion of Christianity as a way to suppress its power and the nature of the crucifixion.

After more than a decade on Bravo's hit reality show, Southern Charm, Shep Rose opens up about the moment he realized something had to change. Shep shares the phone call from Andy Cohen that became a wake-up call, the blackouts that scared him, and the ayahuasca journey in Costa Rica that forced him to confront his relationship with alcohol, attention, and the endless pursuit of more. This isn't a recovery story in the traditional sense. Shep doesn't identify as an alcoholic, and he's honest about still figuring it out -- the gray area, the setbacks, and the ongoing work of trying to live with more intention. That's what makes this conversation so compelling. Together, Shep and Zac talk openly about fame, aging, excess, the loneliness that can exist behind a public persona, and what it actually takes to change. Whether you know Shep from Southern Charm or you've never seen an episode, this is a conversation about the cost of always saying yes -- and what happens when the life you've always celebrated becomes the very thing you need to question. Shep's new book, Nothing in Moderation, explores many of these same themes – an honest, funny, and unflinching look at excess, fame, and figuring out what actually matters.  Link to Shep Rose's book -- Nothing In Moderation: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZQ9GQL7?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback Follow Shep Rose: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/relationshep/?hl=en Connect with Zac https://www.instagram.com/zwclark/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/ https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclark https://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553 https://twitter.com/zacwclark If you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release Recovery: (914) 588-6564 releaserecovery.com @releaserecovery Learn more about your ad choices.

A celebrity swears it changed their life, and suddenly you're wondering if this ancient plant medicine is the shortcut to healing, happiness, and finally feeling alive again. In this solo episode, I hold two things at once: the higher self — what it actually is — and ayahuasca, the Amazonian brew the wellness world has turned into a shortcut to enlightenment. And I ask the question underneath all the hype: why it's genuinely good for a few people, and genuinely not for most.I get into the neuroscience of ego dissolution and the Default Mode Network, why your nervous system heals a drop at a time — not in one overwhelming night — and the real research most people never hear: the treatment-resistant depression trials, the global survey of nearly 11,000 ayahuasca users, the serious risks and drug interactions, and the people who came home from the jungle and couldn't put their lives back together.I've never done ayahuasca.

Jacques es el fundador de Takiwasi, el centro de medicina tradicional amazónica más antiguo y reconocido del Perú. Conozco el trabajo de Jacques desde hace muchos años, prácticamente desde que comencé a dedicarme a este camino. En 2013 visité Takiwasi y tuve la oportunidad de recibir un recorrido personal por sus instalaciones. Quedé muy impresionado por el lugar, el equipo humano y su enfoque terapéutico. Takiwasi no solo es un centro de sanación, sino también un centro de investigación, además de elaborar sus propios productos con estándares de altísima calidad. Takiwasi se ha especializado en el tratamiento de las adicciones a las drogas y cuenta con una tasa de éxito excepcionalmente alta. Me sentí muy feliz y honrado de que Jacques aceptara esta entrevista. Conversamos sobre su trayectoria, las diferencias entre las visiones del mundo occidental e indígena, la sanación, la ayahuasca, el tabaco, los desafíos y riesgos de este trabajo, y muchos otros temas. Considero que esta es una de mis entrevistas favoritas del pódcast. Jacques posee una sabiduría muy profunda y una perspectiva poco común, si no única, sobre la medicina tradicional amazónica.

Jacques is the founder of the oldest and most renowned traditional Amazonian medicine center in Peru, Takiwasi. I have know about Jacques for many years, ever since I started doing this work. In 2013, I visited Takiwasi and was given a personal tour there. I was very impressed with their space, staff, and system of healing work. Takiwasi is not only a healing center but also a research center as well as producing their own products of a very high quality. Takiwasi has specialized in the treatment of drug addiction and has an extremely high success rate. I was very happy and honored that Jacque agreed to this interview. We spoke about his background, Western and indigenous worldviews, healing, ayahuasca, tobacco, pitfalls of this work, and much more. I think this is one of my favorite interviews on this podcast and Jacques has a deep wisdom and a very rare, if not unique, perspective on traditional Amazonian medicine.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F.

Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-366/?ref=278 Blake explains how an early ayahuasca experience gave him the sense that he had already done enough, even though he had not yet learned to feel that he was enough. He shares what followed after selling TOMS, including a profound depression, a psychiatric diagnosis he later came to question, four medications, and a carefully supported nine-month taper. Paul and Blake also discuss the daily meditation practice that helped reshape his relationship with self-worth, the return of his entrepreneurial energy, his $100 million commitment to psychedelic research and access, and why the future of psychedelic care will require scalable integration, group support, and careful use of emerging AI tools. Blake Mycoskie is the founder of TOMS and creator of the One for One movement, which provided more than 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need. After selling TOMS and navigating a profound depression, he founded WE ARE ENOUGH, a movement supporting mental health organizations and challenging the belief that worth depends on achievement. Blake is also the host of the No Magic Pill podcast and has pledged $100 million to psychedelic research and access.

Psychedelic Therapy for Mental Health: Research, Safety, and the Path to FDA Approval: Dr. Will Van Derveer and Keith Kurlander, co-authors of “Psychedelic Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Restoring Your Mental Health and Reclaiming Your Life,” reveal the shift from recreational psychedelics to structured, research-based psychedelic-assisted therapy for conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Van Derveer describes limitations of conventional psychiatry (citing STAR*D remission rates) and his entry into MDMA-assisted PTSD research after promising results. They contrast controlled clinical protocols—screening, preparation, safe setting, trained facilitation, medical monitoring, and post-session integration—with uncontained recreational use. The discussion covers current policy momentum under Trump and RFK Jr., VA interest for veterans, and key agents: ketamine (including abuse risks and clinic-only Spravato), MDMA (phase 3 but not approved in 2024), psilocybin (phase 3, potential FDA approval), LSD (GAD trials), ibogaine (arrhythmia risk, Mexico clinics), ayahuasca, peyote, and microdosing. They also note commercialization, including Eli Lilly's acquisition of a 5-MeO-DMT nasal spray developer, and emphasize an integrative “all-of-the-above” mental health approach.

What if the same substance that one celebrity calls the greatest healing experience of their life is the very thing another says took them into what felt like hell for eternity? Why are so many celebrities—from Jake Paul and Theo Von to Aaron Rodgers and Megan Fox—encouraging millions of people to seek out this ancient psychedelic brew, increasingly calling it “medicine,” “Mother Ayahuasca,” or even “the grandmother vine,” while a growing number of former practitioners are now warning people to stay away? We want to examine the striking similarities in these experiences—both the euphoric and the terrifying—by looking at the tragic story of fitness influencer Connor Murphy, whose life took a dramatic turn after embracing psychedelics and New Age spirituality before his untimely death, alongside insights from former ayahuasca practitioners who say they were deceived and are warning others before it's too late. Are these merely powerful chemical hallucinations, psychological breakthroughs, and encounters with the subconscious, or are people opening themselves to something far more real than they realize?

What if dying is actually a skill? And what if most of us are completely unprepared for the one experience that is absolutely guaranteed to happen? This week we sit down with Darnella Ford, award-winning author, trauma facilitator, and restorative guide, whose twenty-year journey into the non-physical began not with a spiritual calling, but with a breakup, a depression she couldn't shake, and a night of breathwork that sent her flying through a black void at incalculable speed. What followed changed everything she thought she knew about life, death, consciousness, and what is waiting on the other side of that final breath. In this episode we explore:Why dying requires a specific kind of surrender, and why practicing it while you're still alive might be the most important thing you ever doWhat actually happens to your consciousness the moment you leave your bodyWhether your deceased loved ones are still around, still aware, and what they are doing right nowWhy the death experience is completely customized to your own belief systemHow the life review works, and why it dissolves the illusion of separation once and for allWhy the question isn't how to get out of the body, but how to actually be in itThe one thing Darnella wants you to do tomorrow morning before you reach for your phonePlus, Darnella shares the devastating personal loss that became the beating heart of her latest book, and the question she spent four years answering because of it.

She recognized the illusion of separation, her unbreakable connection to Mother Earth, and a deeply felt truth of belonging within herself regardless of where she was physically in the world.@aluna_healing_centerwww.alunahealingcenter.com@bri.anahatawww.brianahata.com

Hey everybody! Episode 198 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Matteo Politi. Matteo is an independent researcher who has specialized in pharmacology, phytotherpay, naturopathy, amongst other things, and for a number of years has been doing research at the renowned Peruvian Amazonian Medicinal center Takiwasi. We sat down and spoke about his background, the pharmaceutical industry, phytochemistry, Amazonian indigenous medicinal practices, his work at Takiwasi, and a more holistic approach to plants and human well-being. Matteo is a very deep thinker and I think is really creating a beautiful bridge between world views to create a more holistic way of working with plants and how we as humans can create a more biodiverse world.

We kick things off with the aftermath of the first-ever Dopey Short Recovery Film Festival—Dave's post-event crash, gratitude, Knicks withdrawal, listener emails, Dean Moda Patreon comments, meth-sex insanity, Monkey Man research, and a wild voicemail about shooting someone up for the first time. Then Dr. Reef Karim comes on! They explore why Dopey works as an underdog podcast, creativity in recovery, building an addiction treatment center that blended psychiatry with spirituality, and why storytelling may be one of the most powerful recovery tools available. Reef opens up about walking away from a successful career in medicine after severe burnout, chronic pain, and anxiety led him to question everything. That journey eventually took him into the Amazon with Gabor Maté for an unforgettable ayahuasca retreat, where he experienced terrifying visions, confronted years of accumulated trauma, and ultimately found a new direction for his life. Dave and Reef also dive into ketamine, ibogaine, psychedelics in addiction treatment, authenticity versus attachment, cognitive flexibility, recovery as a lifelong process, and whether there's ever such a thing as being "fully recovered." Plus Dave closes the show with updates on the family road trip, DopeyCon planning, Safe Spot overdose prevention, and more. ALL THAT AND MORE!
