127 - Liminality: The Realm of Transformation, Magic & Crazy Making

Liminality is the place of no longer and the not yet. Liminal spaces are where the magic happens. This can also be a place of great discomfort. A place sometimes called, ‘crazy space.” Being in a liminal space can be incredibly uncomfortable for most. Brains crave homeostasis and predictability, and liminal space is everything but this. Death, divorce, loss, illness, the space in between making a decision are considered liminal spaces. This Ayahuasca path that I am on is forcing me to find ways to be in a permanent liminal space. A place between two realms, with one foot in this world and another in the spirit realm. I am having to hold so many paradoxes, that to my human mind if feels very confusing and scares the heck out of me. The shaman must know how to voyage inside herself & the great unknown without getting lost. To then steward others through these spaces. In the liminal space it is easy to feel lost. This is where I find myself at currently, learning to navigate and accept this liminal space. To find center in the groundless ground. One could say that I am losing my mind, but that is exactly what this space calls forth, crazy making. And in this place I am finding is so much power, so much wisdom, so much transformation, so much magic. It is a place where anything is possible.

Medicine Song (Icaro): Agua De Florida

Ayahuasca icaros, or ikaros, are traditional indigenous Amazonian songs that are performed as accompaniment to sacred plant healing ceremonies. They are musical prayers that embody the powers of spirits of plants and animals, deities, ancestors, and elemental forces. Channeled into this reality by Ayahuasca facilitators and Shamans, they are employed as efficient healing agents, powerful spirit weapons, or ineffable realm creators. Shamans learn icaros through years of training and communing with the plants, whose powers they are to use in healing or divinatory purposes. This training is commonly known as the ‘dieta,' During the ‘dieta,' shamans spend days & weeks in isolation from the community (but, not uncommonly, alongside other shamans in training), fasting on a basic diet which includes rice & plantains with no salt. They commune with the Master Plant once or a few times per day slowly gathering power, insight, and knowledge from the spirit world. Aside from food, they abstain from all other activities as well, leaving ample space for the Master Plant Teacher lessons to come through. Over the course of their training, future shamans slowly establish a strong connection with their plant teachers. As this resonance grows, the dreams, artistic inspiration and aptitude of the shaman diversify and develop as well. At some point, the apprentices are gifted with songs and chants, which they are to use for calling forth the lost souls and their spirit allies, and strengthening or modulating the actions of the plant spirits. I was gifted this haunting Icaro while I dieted an organic version of Agua De Florida. Florida Water is a mixture of several plants and has been used for centuries by healers for protection, cleansing and personal rituals. It is known as the Shaman's cleanse.

I was only able to get through my experience because of my increased self-awareness, curiosity, and support from people around me. What allowed me to surrender to what was happening was my understanding that there was an internal process happening inside of me I learned about a term called spiritual emergence and instantly that resonated with me! It has helped me to have a language for what I was growing through. Maybe, more importantly, I was able to give meaning to the whole process and I gained clarity which provided an energetic hug (if you know what I mean) Spiritual emergence can be seen as a mental health process (or psychosis) but my gut feeling is that more people experience spiritual emergence symptoms and are being mistreated. In today's episode, I go into the difference between spiritual emergence and a mental health issue. If you are unsure, please check with a trusted psychotherapist or seek out medical professionals and ask them if they are aware of these terms. I also wanted you to understand the difference between spiritual emergencE and spiritual emergencY. They have different qualities and are important to become aware of, as you navigate these changes in your life. If you are experiencing the same feelings, please reach out to someone you trust or reach out to me! I do not want anyone to feel like they are alone!

What is “spiritual emergence”? And how do keep it from becoming a “spiritual emergency”? This was the subject of my conversation with Katrina Michelle. Katrina is a holistic psychotherapist and integration coach who practices from a transpersonal and humanistic framework that centers around cultivating psychospiritual growth at both the individual and cultural level. She is the founder of The Curious Spirit, a collective of therapists in New York who also operate for this frame of transpersonal and transcendental support for their clients.She is the former director of harm reduction for MAPS at the Zendo Project, holds a Phd in Psychology and did her doctoral research on 'Exploring Resistance to Spiritual Emergence', which is why I was so thrilled to sit down and get deeper into this subject including: What are spiritual experiences and where do they come from? How do we interpret and integrate them into our daily life? What do these experiences do to our identities and how do they change us? These are all questions that we got into during this amazing episode. If you're using plant medicines and psychedelics for healing and personal growth, I can't recommend this conversation enough.

Medicine Song (Icaro): Sequoia

Play Episode Play 60 sec Highlight Listen Later May 24, 2022 7:00

Ayahuasca forms the foundation of the indigenous plant medicine traditions of the Western Amazonian Shamanism, but the dieta plays a crucial role in building upon that foundation. It could be considered the support beams of the tradition, upon which the rest of the structure is built. So what is a dieta? In simple terms, a dieta is a contract made between a curandero, or student of curanderismo, and a particular plant spirit. For several days the dieter communes with the plant with no other distractions. No salt, sugar, spices, sex, touching others, electronics, or distractions. Food choices are limited to plantains, veggies and also fish if not vegetarian. The purpose of the dieta is to build a relationship with the plant spirit, and just like with building relationships with other people, the more sincere, honest, and well-intentioned attention a dieter gives to the plant spirit, the better the relationship will be. The spirit of the plant can be felt on subtle levels and dieters can become more aware of those sensations by directing their attention to them. A special bond is formed, a friendship between the dieter and the plant spirit. It is through this friendship that the curandero or student receives benefit from the relationship, the fruits of the dieta. This new friend provides information, guidance, and energy to assist in their personal healing process & can then call in these spirits into Ayahuasca ceremony to assist the passengers in their healing process. When dieting Sequoia last September, I experienced this massive tree as a gentle giant. His spirit was a beautiful purple color and this sweet melody came to me softly as I was looking out the window into the bright sky. As I hummed the melody the words & teachings came shortly after. Sequoia brings a sense of grounding and stability. If you are feeling swept up by life right now, listen to this Icaro to help calm your sweet soul back to your heart. Much love, Colleen

In this episode, we explore spiritual emergence, through the lens of transpersonal psychology, and holotropic states of being. I love how Jay points out the play on words between Spiritual Emergence and Spiritual Emergency. The initiation into our own spiritual awakening is about what is coming in and through us, and often this embodied experience can leave us with a sense of emergency/urgency of how to live from this new way. In the mid-90s, Jay followed experiences of spiritual emergence into the experiential doctoral program at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Until transitioning into his roles for Grof Legacy Project, Jay has primarily worked as a lawyer/mediator while teaching and supervising dissertation research in transpersonal psychology. Jay has assisted the facilitation of holotropic breathwork in the US, Canada, UK, India and China and is a certified Grof® Breathwork Facilitator. He will act as a Director and Secretary-Treasurer for the Project and is particularly interested in developing the research branch of Grof Legacy Project, including projects using the lens of archetypal astrology to examine correlations between nonordinary state experiences and indications from transit and natal charts. Jay currently divides his time between Helena, Montana, and Los Angeles.

In Amazonian Shamanism, gaining experience with ayahuasca is important, and what is more important is learning the wisdom that the master plant teachers of the Amazon and of the forests are telling us. Bringing this wisdom in and calling in the plant spirits into ayahuasca ceremony aids in deeper healing, support & protection for safe and powerful ceremonies for the participants. In this story I share what profound insight & wisdom I gained by just sitting in isolation & saturating myself with the one of the tallest, and most magical trees in the Amazon Rainforest, Lupuna Blanca.

So I've been avoiding making a video all day, and I'm not quite sure why. I'm not sure if my few days of feeling good are subsiding today, and I'm transitioning into the week or so worth of kind of blindness. And I'll call hardy nutritionals on Monday and see what they think about the way it's going. I ended up just watching a YouTube video of the top 200 songs, in terms of views on YouTube. And I stared at that for probably two hours. And so yeah, I've just been kind of staring at the screen, which is something I don't usually do. But I definitely allow myself to whenever that's what seems to be good for my brain. And speaking of looking at the screen, but in a more productive way. Today, I watched Katie motorhomes documentary called emerging proud. It was released today. And I think she had an event in the UK. And there were events held in certain places around the world, and the documentary was premiered. And so happy emerging proud day. I'm not sure if it's an annual thing. And I thought it was very good, I thought it was very well done. And the way she did it was from clips that people either sent in about their stories of spiritual emergence. I don't use that term, very often I use my own term as map consciousness, to indicate so called mania and psychosis, but also meaning action potential or a lot of different things. And also that it's sort of like unmapped territory, it's something that we're exploring in consciousness. But anyways, spiritual emergence is another term or spiritual emergency. And I could try to use that more often. Because it's not good to keep saying so called mania and psychosis. I don't know why I say that. I think it's to delineate between the good and the not as good parts of the process. And in the video, they talked about dark night of the soul or shadow, as opposed to so called psychosis. And maybe, when I continue to go through this process of coming off meds, if I have to go through some of the elements that are not yet finished, perhaps I can work on reframing those and not thinking of them in terms of psychosis, which I already don't, it's just right now, I think, handy to actually make videos talking about some of the common language, because if I only use uncommon terms, then people might not know what the heck I'm talking about. And by weaving them both in together, hopefully, eventually, through conversation and knowing what we're talking about, we can create our own language, that we don't have to use any of those terms at all. And those terms weren't used at all, barely in the whole documentary, which was nice. And I thought that the selection of clips was very good. And it gave a lot of different examples of the depth and breadth of the experience, the possibilities, and I noticed some of the language that I use with myself in there. One person near the end was talking about how this has something to do with the evolution of humanity. And I've talked about that. And there were a few other things that people mentioned that were really clear to me that we speak a lot of the same language inside and how we would talk about it, if we started talking about it more might just be kind of self evident. One person might say something and then the other person might be like, Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about. That's a good way to describe it. Let's talk about it in that way, or it's not about what anway, actually, it's talking about it in in lots of different ways, and not just talking about it, but what language the process wants to create and how that process wants us to relate. So I thought it was very well done. And I actually made it into the film in the credits. Let's see if you can pick me out. And some of my story is going to be in the book that goes with the film. And I haven't seen that yet. So it's on Vimeo, I think that's how you pronounce it. And it's called emerging proud. And it's definitely worth a watch. And I think there's quite a bit going on in that movement. And when I go home, I do want to get more involved somehow and not be such a chicken. And hopefully that goes along with being able to taper off these meds. That would be awesome. If when I went home, I was off the meds and I could speak from that. And things were just roses and butterflies for the rest of my life. While I'm not expecting that, but there's been three films released lately, which one is Katie mo Trump's emerging crowd. Another is healing voices. And another is crazy wise. And I think the cost of production is probably Katie motorhomes the least healing voices the middle and crazy wise, the most expensive but I actually enjoyed Katie's documentary. A bit more than crazy wise and I enjoyed hearing voices more than crazy wise. And I'm not sure why that is. Perhaps because crazy wise focuses mainly on the Shin monic interpretation and and I'm not sure it seemed It was nice to hear from a lot of different people in Katy motorhomes. Film because it gives a little bit more weight to these things happening in people than just having two people shown or three people shown. I'm not sure I just I thought it was I thought it was really good. And I like all of them. Anybody who releases a film with this kind of information. It's super awesome. And somebody even mentioned Krishna Murty in the emerging proud documentary just kind of in passing, but I thought that was kind of cool, because he's one of the people that I have studied over the years. And one thing I've talked about, but I don't really emphasize, but possibly could more is the fact that it's a healing process. And I don't talk about that very much. And when somebody said that in the film, it made me think about what I was talking about with the change in myelination in bipolar mentioned by Patricia Luis and I was thinking about how it's almost like the brain is sending more myelin up there in order to help heal that area of the brain, kind of like inflammation in any other part of our body. When we have an injury of some kind. It will get somewhat inflamed and that's part of the healing process. And it seems like the brain has a similar mechanism but with the myelin because it doesn't have the same inflammatory process in the rest of the tissue of the body. So to me, it seems like infla myelination, so it's this inflammatory process in the brain. Almost, but it's part of the brain's healing process when these psychological things happen. So, when this energy comes in to sort of sort out some of these psychological things happening, it is also changing the structure of the brain. Because our thoughts and everything are tied up in the brain cells, and Krishna Murty would say that thought is a material process. So, when all of that is going on overdrive and, and also, it's chaotic, and it's reorganizing. It makes sense in a way that there would be some kind of change in the brain cells and maybe sending myelin up to the prefrontal cortex and also to the lateral ventricles as a way of preparing the brain for reorganization. And that's part of healing too. When we have an injury, say we sprained her ankle, it has to heal, it has to reorganize, it has to recycle some of the old broken tissue and, and create new tissue and, and buffer the process in the meantime, and I have a feeling that's partly what's happening in the brain, it's inflow, myelination, it's not just brain disease, or D, myelination, it's reorganization. And if the brain is doing this, it must have some intelligence behind it. If we sprained her ankle, we don't try to stop the healing process, we might do things to to keep the inflammation from getting too out of control, mainly for our own pain tolerance. And I do a lot of talking to myself. And I frame it in the context of talking to myself, because while there's a few reasons. One is that there are things I want to talk to you. And I'm not sure if anybody wants to talk about it with me. So I talked to myself. And also I talked to myself, because some of the things I say, aren't necessarily correct. And that's a way to say them anyway, without having someone filter what I would say, because they think I'm not saying what is correct or factual. And the other thing too, is, I'm just talking to myself. So if I ever share this, and people listen, they're just listening to me talking to myself, I'm not telling anybody what to do. I'm not recommending anything, I'm not promoting anything, I'm not doing anything except having conversation with myself. And so and that's a lot because I have no idea what to do or. And so all I can really do right now is talk to myself. And the thing with mental health is that right now, it's framed as this big medical problem. So nobody should be listening to anybody but professionals about what's happening because it's this disease, and I'm trying to talk about it like, it's something completely different. And if people understood it as not a disease, not a medical problem at all, which is probably quite a few years away from being the truth, then we could just talk about this and not have to worry about if we're interfering with somebody's medical record, or, or professional help we, we divert all this to the professionals and and it talks a lot about that in the book on our own, by Judy Chamberlain, which is a really good book, I just finished reading it. And it's kind of scary how the same stuff that was going on in the mid 70s is still going on today with maybe fancier names and a little bit dressed up with the word recovery and things like that, but we're still transformed into chronic mental patients. And I don't see myself as a mental patient. And right now I am technically in the category of chronic mental patient. And my real goal is to get myself out of being in that category of chronic mental patient by not having any participation with any of the services that have to do with medical stuff. So that would be medications, psychiatrists, etc. The psychosocial stuff, the stuff to do with daily living, I would still participate with because people need that, if they're in crisis in life or struggling, people need those kinds of services and help. And hopefully one day, I won't need that, either, or I'll be able to support people in some way to transition out of the system, my real goal is to transition out of the system. So it shows that it can be done. So then people who might want the same have some proof in a way that it can be done. And I won't stop until I do it, or die trying. So that's kind of where I'm at. And then my goal would be to help people transition out of being a chronic mental patient, because we died 25 years less statistically, on average, from the studies. So why not put a little bit of time and energy in terms of years, trying to get out of it, and then we might actually, by virtue of doing that, live 25 years longer. So it could be worth the pain and effort, or the scary backs of trying to decouple from this very powerful story that we've been told. And I would think it's a really good story if people that I know and read about and myself, just took the pills and lived happily ever after till we're 85 like everyone else. But that's not how it goes, we're still suffering, we're still struggling with still hell. It's not science, it's it's experimentation, and it's still happening on us. And so I hope I can get off these drugs, I don't know if I can, it's, it's not the easiest thing. And yeah, that's my little thing right now. This is to myself, and I'm in no way shape, or form, trying to tell anybody what to do with their own life. People want to take pills, take pills, I've taken pills, they can be helpful sometimes. But that's why I don't want to participate with that. If that system could guarantee that it wouldn't steal 25 years from my life, then maybe I would be a little bit more excited about participating with it. But I'm not. And then the next thing would be to prevent the next generation from being turned into chronic mental patients. And a lot of that has to do with the context with which each one of us perceives these types of experience. And if we're able to receive people with love, and care and patience, and time, and safety, while they transition through this, instead of passing them over to the authorities who will then track them for life. Now, if anybody doesn't want this to happen to their children, or their nieces or nephews or friends, kids, then it's time to start thinking about this differently. And again, I'm not telling anybody what to think. I'm just talking to myself at length. And I'll probably just continue to talk to myself, because, as far as I know, I'm the only one that wants to hear all of this. And one of the benefits of getting a label could be that it actually makes us easier to find each other. So however many people are labeled with bipolar one, you are officially part of my neural tribe. Our brains work in similar ways. So take away all the disease, the illness, all of that our brains are undergoing the same energetic process. So we are officially a neuro tribe. So pick a different term. And we're similar brain casts, just like there's different races, different bodies, different skin colors, there's different brain types. Look at the autism brain type. Now there's some people go through this brain transition later in life. And it's not just to change our brains, but it's also to help change the world even if it's only ever so slightly. And people aren't seeing the positive sides of our, of our brains and our potentials. And maybe we're not seeing it either. And it part of the reason is because we're not having a conversation in different ways. So yeah, when I get home, I'm going to start up some kind of group. And, and a lot of different stuff, because I have lots of ideas, and I've talked about them. But I can't do them all by myself. So we each other, and just creating a narrow tribe, and framing it in the ways that resonates more with our hearts than with what we were told. And a lot of these experiences we have that are kind of strange. They can be lived. But they're difficult to explain. When we explain them, they sound impossible, but we experienced them. So in that way they are possible. And what I'm trying to get at is, a lot of what I've talked about with myself is talking about the experiences or things related to that, or explaining some of the experiences a little bit. But that's not the same as living the experiences. So maybe one day when we're fully a neural tribe, we're not even talking about explaining experiences to each other. Like I had this experience, I had that experience. This means this means that about the experiences, but actually living that experience together. It feels like we go into different dimensions sometimes. Now imagine if we actually do go into a different dimension together, and we're just living there together. And we're not explaining these incongruent experiences or one person, I want to experience another person, another experience, another person, another experience, all those experiences separately point to some strange stuff going on. But imagine we actually lived in those experiences together, and then it wasn't strange. And then that's just how it is. And it became sort of invisible, because reality works in different ways than we think, for sure. And the more of us that get together on that, the more that will be brought into manifestation, not just individually, but collectively. Just like, reason must have been this thing that was emerging and individuals, and then people got together and two people are talking in that way. And then all of a sudden, it spreads more and more and more. And then that level of experience, living that experience is just the way it's lived. people no longer explain reason, is just assumed that people are operating in some kind of reasonable way, even I say reasonable, and a lot of it's probably still not that reasonable. But we assume that that's the way it is without even assuming that's the way it is, it's just like air is just there. So in the same way, some of these strange experiences might one day just be like air, they won't be strange. And I feel one of the reasons that hasn't happened is because we're labeled as defective and, and pretty much forced into isolation. We're not talking about these things. And somebody in the documentary said, this is what's happening to me. And the only reason I mentioned that is my brain immediately thought, this process is what's happening to the me, not me, or you or her or him, or they or them. It's happening to the me, we each have a me. And this energy is trying to break up the me. In general, it's trying to break up that way of relating and having this personal ego dominate. Because the world can no longer sustain that way of viewing the world that can no longer sustain that perspective. So comes in and breaks up this perspective. And so it's not personal. It's not. This is what's happening to me. This is what's happening to the me all over the world. And the me makes certain things happen, the me has created this society as it's designed with the family system and, and, and success and progress and hierarchies and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And this energy makes something else happen, this energy that breaks up the me, if that was able to be fully integrated and transformed, the brain would create a different world, because it's a different operating system. So in that way, it's important to end the me anything we can do to end the me in between so called crises will help that process because that process is trying to break up the me. So whatever that looks like, and also, somebody mentioned something about having an observing presence, well, these certain belief structures can come and try and operate. And in a way that's sort of what happens is we're observing these belief structures passing by and they're scary, and then sometimes they actually take hold of us, and then we act based on that belief structure. So I could have a thought that aliens are coming to invade, and I can have an observing presence of that. And it's terrifying. But if it actually takes hold of me, well, then maybe I run down into the basement and hide under the bed and, and, and start yelling out prayers or something like that. So I feel it's important to observe the beliefs, which is part of the me structure because they try and come in and operate and, and just watch them go by. And this happened to me when I was in crisis in January. As I was walking to go lay down and rest I had taken some Seroquel, there was some crazy things going on in my brain, I can remember something about aliens, terrifying stuff, but I was just walking, and then I just laid down and I just would rest and let it all happen. And, and not actually let it take hold and part of the thing was, if there's not much of a me there, the belief doesn't have much to cling on to and and anchor on to, to start to operate. so that there can be fear but not a me that's afraid in a way so. So can we operate with no beliefs and can we operate with no me and Krishna Murty talks at great length about ending self centred activity and if we don't do it, if we don't use some of our life energy to do that, this energy comes in and does it anyway. And I think I've talked about how the fear a lot of times is the me trying to end and when the me tries to end the me associates that with I must be dying. But really it's just the thought structures trying to come to an end and it's definitely challenging and I feel that I may again have to face death actually go through this ego death and it's really scary and I usually take Seroquel but I don't want to take that crap again. So we will seeI picked some oranges. I don't know if they're totally right. But I feel like something has shifted like, it's now the days where I usually start going downhill a bit. But I'm feeling good. I'm feeling like, I'm not sure. And my friend and I were driving back from beach to the beach today. And there was a Chevy Volt in front of us. And I thought to myself, wonder if I would ever drive one of those or buy one of those? Or what are the benefits of those cars. And then I talked to my friend, my brain twin. And he was saying that he could run me a car for a while. And lo and behold, it's a Chevy Volt. So that was kind of weird randomness, because I talked to him earlier today. And then he said, Can I call you back in 10 minutes. And then he didn't call me back. Then I went to the beach, they came back from the beach. And I saw that Chevy Volt. And they told me about the Chevy Bolt. So it's an interesting sequence of events. I want to use my remaining time in California to get into shape. Because I've gained a few pounds as I got here. And my belly is kind of big. So I'm going to try to do the walking on the road thing. I have a new goal to try to master this thing. So far, not so good. It's kind of hard. I can do about one and a half steps. It's kind of fun, though, to work on a new skill. If I go back home and I can walk across this, I may have accomplished something for now. Done my practice for the day. So by tomorrow, I might have a vehicle to use, I might be able to make the most of my time here. Maybe I'll treat the remaining two months or so more like a vacation and treat myself more and I am feeling better. And I haven't started to have those sort of downhill days. I'm going to call hardy nutritionals on Monday, which is in two days and check in with them and they'll probably tell me to just keep going at the same dose. I might do a few days on oranges only because California has lots of oranges And I slept in today until like 10. One thing I'm doing is always sleeping a lot if I have the chance. So sleep party nutritionals maybe I'll start to eat just a little healthier and get a little bit more physically active with that balance string and a con want to learn to do handstand. But I think I need to lose a couple pounds before learning because that bodyweight will be more ideal for trying to stand on my hands. Lately, I've been feeling kind of excited about the prospect of going home and being off my meds and being just in a lot better shape and better place than I was when I got here because it was a bit dicey before I came here, and then it got dicey here. And it seems I'm slowly working my way out of that. And I'm grateful for the fresh air, I'm grateful for the silence, I'm grateful for the sound of all the birds and I'm noticing the beauty and the movement of life again. So I think my body's happy with the drugs coming out of my system. I want to go home, I would love to get an infrared sauna at some point to help pull all the drugs out of my system. So just a bit more of a check in. I'm definitely feeling more energy. And I think that it could be a sign of getting over some kind of hump in the process. Maybe because I've had more days in a row that have been good than usual. So that's a good sign and I'm feeling energetic. Like I want to do things and learn and so that's good. And I was reading a little bit of David boms book wholeness and the implicit order, there was just some part of it that I want to read to myself. On page 53, he's giving an example of a radio, and how, if it feeds back upon itself, it just creates a bunch of noise. But if it tunes in with the radio wave, which is something outside of itself, then it produces the sound that is beyond its own structure. It's beyond just the radio and the antenna, but its product of tuning into the wave. And then he says, one might then suggest that, in intelligent perception, the brain and nervous system respond directly to an order in the universal and unknown flux, that cannot be reduced to anything that could be defined in terms of knowable structures. And to me, that's the realm of map we're tuning in to something else. And he says, intelligence and material process of thus a single origin, which is ultimately the unknown totality of universal flux. In a certain sense, this implies that what have been commonly called Mind and Matter are abstractions from the universal flux, that both are to be regarded as different and relatively autonomous orders within the one whole movement. It is thought responding to intelligent perception, which is capable of bringing about an overall harmony, or fitting between Mind and Matter. Because just before that, he said, What then is the relationship of intelligence to thought? Briefly, one can say that when thought functions on its own, it is mechanical and not intelligent, because it imposes its own, generally irrelevant and unsuitable order, drawn from memory. Thought is, however, capable of responding not only from memory, but also from the unconditioned perception of intelligence that can see in each case, whether or not a particular line of thought is relevant and fitting. And if I think about that, really deeply, that's a lot to do with what I'm talking about with this map. domain. And on page 56, he says, what is required here, then is not an explanation, that would give us some knowledge of the relationship of thought and thing, or of thought and reality as a whole. Rather, what is needed is an act of understanding, in which we see the totality as an actual process that, when carried out properly, tends to bring about a harmonious and orderly overall action, incorporating both thought and what is thought about an in a single movement, in which analysis into separate parts, he thought and thing has no meaning. And I was thinking about how I was talking to myself recently about how would we live if we weren't just sitting there explaining things to each other. But if we acted as if we understood, And to me, that's what happens when we're in so called mania, when we're in map consciousness, at least for part of the time. We're acting with understanding. We're not explaining our actions and we're not explaining our perceptions, but we're acting with understanding. It's only later when we're misunderstood. That we have to do all this explaining I feel there's something way beyond even this, trying to explain things to each other. Try To explain things to people who don't understand, there's the living of it, because explaining things is already too late. It's already happened, it's already past. But if we can even draw up the need to explain and just live in that, and act with understanding within ourselves. And that is related to how I talk about, when you're really clear with perception, you can understand something, you don't even have to do all this research or this or that you just look at it, and you understand. So when he says, rather, what is needed is an act of understanding. And I feel like in that state, we see the totality as an actual process, and that we're an integral part of that process, no explanation needed. And when we're really in harmony with that, we're riding that wave, that wave of perception and understanding, without having to retrospect without having to think about an explain. So I thought those were two Cool Bits that I wanted to read to myself. And I have a few points that I'll talk about. to round out the video, I made a note that thought is partly what destroys the brain and causes it to break down because of its repetitious and mechanical nature. And I was thinking about this in terms of what Patricia Louise wrote about how the neurons are over firing in the prefrontal cortex, and the neurons break down. They pretty much fray at the ends. And so in that way, we're thinking a lot in that state. And there's a lot of different thoughts. It's like thought on overdrive, and it's destroying the nerves. And in that way, thought actually breaks down thought. So what can destroy thought but thought, so by the brain activating this hybrid thinking process, it's kind of breaking down the structures of thought in the brain. So I feel like the more thoughts in bipolar are actually to break down the machinery of thought, which seems to be what's happening in the neurons at the neuron level. And sort of like, if you want to break a machine, you overrun the machine, you wear it out. Otherwise, how would that really get broken up? Because if we're always in so called normal thought, consciousness, that's not going to break up and we feel like oh, well, everything's fine. But overall, things aren't fine. At the level of humanity, with regards to thought, and it's related to that thing I read by David Bohm, how thought operating on its own, just from memory is machine like, and it's not really correlated to reality. So it's not harmonious. And so then tons of thoughts would definitely not be harmonious, and it just breaks down the machine. So it could actually be part of the intelligence of the process. It's like the brain trying to destroy that part of the brain. Because the brain sees that it is not needed to that same extent that it was before. And as part of the whole thing that there's always chaos before there is any kind of new structure or evolution. And regarding the brain, sending myelin to the prefrontal cortex and how I was talking about, it's kind of like the equivalent of inflammation. And there's inflammation is caused by thought, so overthinking, and, and too many thoughts. And it's not that a me is thinking these thoughts. It's just happening. And so that overthinking, in so called mania, and psychosis actually causes this brain breakdown and causes the inflammation in the brain. It's like the wrong energy going through the brain. So it's like thought, and the me and society is actually what causes the brain to break down because it's the energy of all that. So thought me in society, thought the me and society causes brain inflammation and it causes it to break down. And I feel like the brain is a learner like how cholesterol shows up in arteries when There's plaque formation. And it's not necessarily high cholesterol that causes hardening of the arteries. But cholesterol shows up in a way to kind of protect the arteries, just like the myelin shows up to protect the brain. But unless the underlying cause is addressed, and I feel like in the brain is the wrong energy, it's the energy of thought in the me. Unless that is a trust, then the problem is going to continue. And it's interesting that she said that these w m h is also are in the hippocampus. And I think that was to do with the myelin going there too. And apparently, the hippocampus is where new neurons are birthed. So it's interesting that that happens in the process. And it could be that new neurons are being birthed at a faster rate. So I see this, again, as a sign that it could be brain metamorphosis. And she also talked about how the pineal gland absorbs light and helps to regulate sleep and wake with melatonin or serotonin secretion. And I'm pretty sure those substances are converted into DMT, which is dimethyl tryptamine, which is the bliss hormone or something. But I was thinking that the pineal gland might have something to do with the stuff I talked about before of how, when the light of perception hits our clear mind screen, then we produce the correct response. And interestingly enough, she talks about how the pineal gland hardens because of fluoride. And a lot of water sources are fluoridated. And to me, it's a way to keep our perception narrow, it's to calcify our pineal gland, so we can't really see. So our vision is unclear. So it's interesting how it's interesting how she mentioned it. And I feel like, if it's not clear, we can't turn light into meaning. So I feel like fluoride is anti meaning. And I heard once that I think it's always based on fluoride. So it's definitely a darling substance. And I was thinking about some of the traits we gained through map consciousness. And they're actually brain traits. So one of them is making meaning dialogue, perception in the moment and action. And unless we continue to use these faculties, we lose them, that saying, use it or lose it, I think it applies to these new traits as well. And that's why I talk about harvest practice and body. And. And I feel like if we lose it, and our brain goes back to sort of how it was, yet, there's some kind of energy that wants to come in and break it up. So our brain operates in new ways. By going back to the old ways, that's actually inviting the process to start up again. Whereas if we're able to stay with some of these trades, then maybe we'll allow the energy to come in gently instead of really forcefully. And I listened to a video by Andrew Sol. And he has some really good information on health and mental health as well in terms of vitamins and mega doses. And he mentioned taking tryptophan from cashews, or just taking it, as well as taking lots of vitamin C, and also niacin. And I'm taking hardy nutritionals right now, so I won't introduce those other things, but I'm pretty sure with hardy nutritionals, you can take extra vitamins. But it's not good to take extra minerals, because it's in a certain balance. Don't quote me on that. But I'm just saying that to remind myself at some point to maybe start taking some more vitamin C, and I am eating a lot of oranges. So that could be good for vitamin C. And one important point he made was that some people are nutrient deficient, but other people are nutrient dependent. So a dependency would mean having to take it all the time. So maybe there is a mutation in one of our genetic pathways where we can make certain nutrients so we have to take it in excess And maybe larger amounts than other people would. And so I feel like, if this hearty nutritional thing works, I'll be on it indefinitely. And they said as much, they said, it's not a cure. And in that way, it makes me feel like a person is pretty much dependent on these nutrients to stay sane. And I think that's a fair deal. I wrote down something about words of reason, and how it was related to seeing things for oneself, as opposed to maybe having faith based perceptions. And in a way, it was a logic of the self, seeing for oneself, and then accumulating facts and knowledge around being able to understand or, or reason something or learn. And by accumulating, we actually created this separate self, and we collected facts. And that was logical for the time being. But now, now we're seeing something else we're not seeing for oneself as in the ego me we're seeing for Gaia, we're seeing beyond ourselves, because there's a selective pressure for us to do so. In terms of the totality of, of the planet. So perception selects for traits, perception creates genes. And that is based on Dr. Bruce Lipton's work. So I feel like by proceeding beyond ourselves, we're starting to create the right genetics in the brain to be able to continue to do so in order to be able to continue the species of human being. So the self was okay before, but now we have 9 billion selves, and it's just not sustainable to see that way. Doesn't mean it's not sustainable to keep growing at this rate, that might not necessarily be true, we might be able to continue to grow as a population at the same rate, but we can't continue to see the same way and grow at that rate. So the environment, the energy of the environment, and what's happening in the totality, the totality of the cosmos is like a computer, it can compute exactly what's going on, everywhere at once, or in just one point. Each point is like a computation that implies every other point. So it knows what we're doing and knows what's happening. And then that energy creates the environment and the environment creates the pressure on us to see what's really happening and not just see what's happening for, for ourself. And so Gaia is creating a selective pressure for the brain to mutate. And I listened to a talk by somebody who was talking about evolutionary biology, and they were talking about how nature and evolution and, and, and animals and things, they mutate at the last second, nothing happens in advance, we don't change in advance of the necessity of the change. So I think this relates to what I've talked about with how something will shift really quickly. And then the brains that are adapted for this new way of seeing will actually be the ones that survive. So the point was that, that evolution never does anything in advance. And I wrote down that there's something that sees and creates the mutation. And I think I've talked about this before how, however much we're consciously perceiving, there's still the subconscious calculation that's going on all the time. So even if we're ignoring things, we're still picking up on it to a certain extent. And there's something that sees, and that's a subconscious thing, and that's also collective. So we're all walking around picking up all this different information in our perceptual field. And the bit that we pay attention to is related to the me, but something else is seeing the rest. There's something else that we all share. And it's calculating and in that way, we'll know exactly what to do and how to change things when it's necessary. And so it's life as a whole that sees the need. So when a bird gets a longer beak to adapt to the conditions of What buget needs to eat in the bark of a tree. It's not that the actual bird the personal bird sees that it needs to mutate, it's actually the whole energy of that species and, and, and Gaia that sees that it needs to change a bird in order for the bird to survive, and probably does so at the last second to save that particular species. And it's not the ones don't die out, they do for sure. But so there's something that sees the bird is dying off because it's big is not long enough, through the bird's eyes, of course, and, and it filters into the collective calculation of everything. So it's life itself. Life itself is part of the design and the designer and the designed, there's no separation. So it's not even that the me sees that the brain needs to mutate. It's something else that sees that. So yeah, that's it for today. I will check in tomorrow to see if I'm still feeling good. And of course, I need to be aware of feeling too good. So I will talk to hardy nutritionals about that on Monday. And ask about being careful of that too.So I don't know if it's illegal to make videos while I was driving. I haven't googled that yet. But I think we're allowed to talk while driving. And I'm just talking to myself so doesn't seem problematic. The only trouble is I can't use the GPS and I have no idea where I'm going. So this morning I finally got a reply about the complaint letter I put in about my psych wards day of April 2016. And, as expected, it wasn't quite satisfactory. They talked about how it was okay for me to be on Seroquel because I was on Seroquel before in previous hospitalizations. Well, in previous hospitalizations, I was on quick release, Seroquel, maximum, maybe 100 milligrams a day, because they have the 25 milligram tablets. And this time, the doctor put me on slow release and was tapering me up to 800 milligrams a day. So my complaint wasn't Seroquel. It was the type of Seroquel and putting me on such a high dose that I was intended to be on it for a long period of time. They don't put you on 800 milligrams just to be on it for a week. So the other doctor put me on those small tablets and I was off of them. By the time I left the psych ward, eight to 10 days later, I wasn't going to be off of the Seroquel at 800 milligrams, when I left, I was going to be drugged up like a zombie. So they completely missed the point on that one. And there were other points in there too. And maybe I'll talk about them later. But for the most part reading, it just made me feel a little bit angry. Because they didn't really get it. But at the same time, I'm not surprised because they haven't been through that. So they don't know. And it's their medical training. So they think, Oh, this is just fine. But I know from my own experience, it's not fine. And it just made me actually more resolved to come off these medications and say sayanora to that whole system. And so I'll probably reply to somebody and say, that's not really satisfactory, but I didn't really expect anything satisfactory. So whatever. The best I can do is get myself off these drugs and and that would be the biggest win and then be able to say, Hey, I'm not taking this crap anymore. And maybe help people see that they can do the same if they want to. So that's the biggest important thing right now. It's coming off the meds and I met up with my brain twin yesterday. And he was saying to me that I should release my videos because I have a lot of good content. And I could be helping people by releasing them. But I don't know if that's true. I don't know if this is gonna help anyone. But I feel like it will help someone if I'm able to come off the meds. And I don't necessarily want to put it out there until I'm off the meds and speaking from that point, or have failed to come off the meds and something rather but I just need a little more time. But the good news is that I spoke to hardy nutritionals this morning, and I told them that last night I had a bit of trouble sleeping in that I woke up partway through the night and I was half asleep half awake, but I couldn't quite wake up to maybe get up and go pee but then I was just laying there for what felt like hours. And then somebody commented this morning that I look tired. So that was last night and the night before. For when I was falling asleep, I felt again, like I was too far into sleep yet not really sleeping. And I was aware that there was some scary afraid of death stuff going on some of the stuff that might wake me up, and I would feel scared and, and have that sort of energetic terrified reaction. And and so I told them about that. And they said that I had a few good days more so than before. And I haven't really gone into the bad days, but I've had two nights that aren't the best sleeps. So they suggested that I go down another eighth of my medication, and maybe now is a good time to start trying to go down in the dosage amount faster. So I also ordered a product they have called central in Manos, or something like that. And she said that might help with sleep. So that should be here by Wednesday. And I'm going to start taking that and seeing how that helps with sleep, and then also going down in the 1/8 dosage. So tonight, when I take my dosage of medication, I'll officially be one half way there. So one half of the way off the medications, which is great news. And I feel more like I want to really do this because of that letter, and how annoying it is just to have everything that I said pretty much denied because it is best practice. And that is a pretty crappy practice, I'm sorry to say. And so if I can come off these drugs, that would be the best way. Instead of trying to fight that system, just transcend it just end the trance of that system. And so that's the plan now is to go down and ate the medication. And then on Wednesday, when it gets the amino acid product, I'll start taking that. And they said when I call on Friday, I might do another one eight reduction, so I might be starting to come off the medications a little bit quicker. And the other cool thing is that tonight with the first night, I don't take any Seroquel, I've been taking 1/8 of a chunk of a pill for a little while. And now tonight, I'm not going to take any circle, I'm going to take half a trazadone and 300 milligrams of lithium. And it hasn't been too bad. And hopefully it continues that way. And hopefully that other product helps. I'm really going with this hardy nutritionals process right now. Whatever they recommend that I should get, I'm going to do it because I'm just committed to this process. And talking with them really helps they say things about how other people experience these sleep things when coming off the medication. And that's a little bit part of the process. And it wasn't even that bad. It's just something that I noticed and then by telling them that they're saying, Okay, well, we're going to reduce your medications by another eight. So that's cool. And the letter was crap. I could have written it myself, because it's just I don't know. So I'll do a little bit of a car review in here. This Chevy Volt is actually quite nice to drive. I've driven somebodies Honda Accord here and it was not the greatest but it was a bit older. And then I drove a Dodge Dart I think when I had a rental car, and it was okay, but it wasn't the greatest. I didn't love it. But this Chevy Volt is quite nice. It has good acceleration and good handling the seats a little hard but I feel quite supported. And I haven't tried out charging the battery yet because I ran out of battery. It runs 33 miles on electricity before it converts over to gas. So I'm going to try to charge this thing every night and then have 33 miles a day of driving maybe and just drive for free. So I've just done a little bit of a loop here, because I'm supposed to be meeting my friend again, because when he got this car, they were supposed to put new tires on for him, but they didn't. And so he asked to take this thing to get new tires. Or I could drive it to get new tires, but he said he would. So I didn't have to drive so far. He's in a little bit of the magic zone right now. And I feel like By the way, I was talking with him yesterday, I was probably a buzzkill, for sure. So hopefully, I can be a bit more supportive, and perhaps, walk a little bit in his world too, because maybe he'll bring out some of the magic in me. And yeah, the trouble with my magic state is a lot of times tips over into so called psychosis, which can be really scary and my life is at risk. When that happens. If I never had my life at risk, if I just stayed in mania or whatever, then then who knows, but and I asked her the nutritionals if the nutrients helped to prevent mania, and they said yes, because I don't want to go too high either. Because if I get too high than they could perhaps have a depression or something and, and depression is awful. 1230 I better give my magic friend a call and see what is going on. So now that I have a car, I can go more to the hot springs. I can do a couple more hikes. I did this hike before the one where I ran through the clouds. I kind of like that one because it's a fire road and it's quite wide. So I don't feel like a snake is going to jump out at me or or bears are going to be running around. That's one of the reasons why I don't really like to hike by myself is wildlife fear of wildlife. So yeah, lots of action happening. And and I started reading the book stealing fire by Steven Kotler and Jamie Weil. And it's interesting so far, I've been picking out points to extrapolate Of course. And one thing I don't love is how they glorify things like war and navy seals and things. It seems like they glorify that, but they talk about other things too, but they started off with that. Maybe just start off with a bang, but I wish they would leave that part out. When they mentioned how it costs $500,000 to train a navy seal, it's kind of scary. that much money is put into training one person to be an elite killing machine. And that doesn't even count them all the equipment and the all the other war machines. But anyways, I won't go on about that. Peace, love and butterflies. This is kind of a fun road two drives very squiggly. This car is also very quiet. Right now I'm using the gasoline mode. And I'm pretty sure I could talk to myself without using this little speaker headphone and it would be just fine. I might stop off at a viewpoint here. Call my brain twin So I didn't manage to run into my brain twin, but I spent some time with my brain twins friend, and I got some honey, sage, honey, it's really good. And it's in the shape of a bear. So that is definitely a score, definitely worth the drive. And I took a bit of a video yesterday about my journey to walk the slack line. And I didn't do any today because it's a bit rainy, so it'd be muddy and dirty to fall off that slack line. So I will do it when I can, but I will share my progress on that too. They too. I'll try some more later. And the other thing I want to do is do the ceremony of reducing my medications. So changing the amounts I take each day. So I'll show you my setup. So this is very scientific. I have used an empty capsule of a different supplement to have my 150 milligrams of lithium. So there's 75 approximately in here and 75 in here. So those are all 70 fives. So this is a 300 and this is 75 and now I'm down to 300. So I don't need to take the 75 so I can save that for when I have to go down 75 milligrams, I'll be on a 150 and one of these, I think that will be the next level down. So I don't need those. But they're actually valuable because I need to always decrease in 75 milligram dose doses and so those are for next round. And then they don't need the little chunk of Seroquel anymore. So that goes with the little Seroquel chunks. And then this is the little piece of this looks like Seroquel. This is my little chunk of trazadone so trazadone chunks go there. That looks like some kind of mixture. So I will just Donate that to the floor. So now I'm off the Seroquel, and I'm off there a little chunk extra of trazadone. So now each day, I'm just on this What does that and so I can pack up the Seroquel. And that looks like it's missing a bit. So I'll replace that with one. That's actually a half. And so now this is what it looks like for tonight, and I take the Benadryl as well. So that's my setup. And then I'll take one Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday, Thursday. And then by Friday, I might actually have to reduce and do a 150 plus a 75. And not use the three hundreds, and I don't have a ton of 150s left. So I might start having the three hundreds for the 150 and use the 150 halfs, the 75. So that's my little setup, and get this little dust out of here, don't want to take that extra stuff. And so we will see how that goes today. Tonight, I just want to add in and point out that I left for California, three months ago today. So tomorrow, it'll be three months since I got here. And tonight will be the first night I don't have to take any Seroquel since I had to start taking it about two months ago or something like that. And so that's a big deal. And in five days, it will be 11 months of self dialogue. May 20 is the first anniversary of 11 months and June 20 will be the first anniversary of one year. But I said that September 11 was the time that I started doing this more consistently, because I only did videos on four occasions from June 20 to September 11, or something like that. But then after that I really got into the process. So it's possible by the one year mark, June 20. At this rate, I'll actually be off of my medications. So my goal, if I had a goal was to talk myself out of the system. And if I'm able to do that, by that date, I will have officially talked myself out of the system in a year. And then on September 11, around that time, that would be enough time to see if it has fully taken root in being able to stay off the medications for several months. So I'm not sure when I will share this. But I think there was another milestone I wanted to share. But I forget. So I'm starting to read a book called The man who wasn't there. And I've been reading the first chapter on cold heart syndrome, which is basically a person expressing that they're dead, even though they're not. And they're talking about a man who is saying that he's brain dead. And they did some scans of his brain. And there are certain areas of his brain related to the self that were really underactive. And they weren't saying that this means this is the cause, but they did show it in that person. And there's not a lot of people who get this kind of phenomenon happening. But I was reading it and thinking this person is convinced and saying I'm brain dead, I'm brain dead. In a way. They're kind of right, certain areas of their brain aren't functioning optimally and the parts related to the feeling of self. Because this book is about the feeling of self. So what I'm thinking is that this person is actually giving voice to that brain state. So they're focusing on how a person is saying that they're dead when they're not. And what does this mean about the self, but to me in a way, it's almost like the brain talking. And I've talked about before how we don't know how to make sense of some of these sensations we feel, whether it's hypersensitivity to our environment and other people. And it's possible that our own brain can speak through us at times when it needs some kind of help. And to me, it's a person speaking as that brain state, just as somebody who is in so called psychosis, might be saying strange things. But they might be speaking about things related to being sensitive to the environment, but they don't know how to put it into words. So they're saying something, but a lot of it is lost in translation. And again, we don't understand that language. So we're focused on what's wrong with the person. When the person is saying, I'm brain dead. It might be the brains way of giving voice to something that needs some kind of support. And a person saying something strange and so called psychosis might be actually pointing out something in society that is bothering them or needs to change. But then we put it all on the person and say, well, what's wrong with you? I just thought of something about the self. I feel like the self is the way the brain fires because of conditioning. It's the way we've been conditioned to perceive the world. So it's been conditioned to fire and for us to see the world the dominant way. But it's not the only way to see the world and the brain definitely needs to see the world in new ways. The human brain needs to see the world in new ways. If it is to continue in this world.So in my complaint letter I thoroughly outlined that I did not want to be on Seroquel xR, and they put me on it anyway. And they tapered me up to 500 milligrams a day and they're intending to go up to 800 milligrams a day. One before if I was in the psych ward, they gave me Seroquel quick release, which are just 25 milligram pills. And I don't think they ever gave me more than two or three at a time, usually maximum two. So if it's two or three times a day or something like that, that's maximum 150 milligrams. And I was off the circle by the time I left the psych ward, or two days after, which is maximum 10 days. And I was in the hospital and on Seroquel for 33 days, plus another month to finish tapering off of it in the community. Because I was tapered up to 500 milligrams of this Seroquel before I was able to switch doctors and then she tapered me off. Because she listened to me was the first doctor refused to listen to me in not putting me on that stuff in the first place. And then I said consult with this other doctor, they know what to do to help me. They wouldn't do that. So regarding the circle thing, they put one prescribe Seroquel when you did not want to receive his medication. The doctor prescribed this medication as you had previously been on Seroquel without documented ill effect. Other anti psychotics had caused side effects and therefore not prescribed. And that's not even that wasn't even the point regarding not being transferred to the doctor that I know right away. They say the admitting psychiatrist keeps you unless there's a compelling reason to do otherwise. Well, in my mind, I gave some compelling reasons the other doctor knew how to help me. She told me twice before. And for some reason, this wasn't good enough. And they did sort of address it. They said your concern regarding not being listened to regarding your treatment and what had worked in the past. We sincerely apologize that this was your experience during your care with Dr. x, we value the voice of the patient and want to incorporate this whenever possible. And I asked what if Advanced Directives would be valued. And it says where possible advanced directives and representational agreements will be followed in cases where an individual is admitted and voluntarily under the Mental Health Act. And the psychiatric presentation warranted, the psychiatric components in an advanced directive or representational agreement may not be followed as expressed. So that is the news about getting that document written up, as it won't necessarily be listened to. So note to self never go to the psych ward. And it says, Do people have a choice of the psychiatrists they see when they go to the Ipu? And it says they see the admitting psychiatrist and it says this is our current practice which can be reviewed in the future? Well, I think some of these practices need to be under review, or just have a completely different practice. So yeah, they kind of addressed it when they said didn't listen to regarding what helped in the past. And but not completely because the point was missed that I was drugged up with the intention of being drugged up for the long term with a doctor that didn't even know me, but was just gonna put me on this completely different trajectory that she decided after knowing me for 10 minutes and alter my life. And I knew otherwise and they didn't listen. So I would not put myself in that place ever again, to be I don't know. I really hope this coming off medication thing works because and not just coming off and kind of staying stable and quiet but having some energy and some, some mental strength to change some of these things because it's total crap. And it talks about how I had to call conflict of interest to have the doctor switch And I was admitted on April 5, and I was switched on April 7. But the damage was already done within two days, I was already on 500 milligrams of Seroquel slow release. And then I didn't even ask to be tapered off of it right away, I might have waited a day or so. So within three days, there was so much work to do to come off of that crap and so much scary stuff. In the meantime, it was so scary and terrifying. So I don't know. Maybe it's not just that, maybe it's just something that had to happen. But I guess part of it is not having to go through that kind of thing again. So between driving around with this car stuff and this letter, things have been a little bit stressful. So I need to also relax. So maybe I'll do a little bit of editing and see where I'm at. I have three books on the go right now. So I have some other stuff to cover, I actually have four books on the go. I'm reading wholeness in the implicit order, the man who wasn't their journey to excellence by Carlos caste and NIDA, and stealing fire, by Steven Kotler and Jamie wheel. And I'm just waiting for my brain twin to get here. So maybe I'll just talk about just the little more things. In the book stealing fire. There was a line that says the upper range of human experience. And that made me extrapolate that some of these altered states that often end up being deemed mental illness are also the upper range of human experience. And they were talking about SEAL training, Navy SEAL training, and how it is a filtration system in terms of finding the right people to be trained for that position. And that made me think of how map, how transconsciousness, how altered states in a way, is a filtration system. It's almost filtering who can stand in those states. It's putting our consciousness into a different state and seeing who will filter through. So in a way, it could it be that evolution is partly a filter, not really a selection. There's nothing there doing the selecting. There's no ultimate thing selecting this or that as evolution goes on. But in a way, it's a filter. It's filtering the organisms through the environment. And as the environment changes, the filter changes for who goes through in terms of different organisms. And the human brain in a way needs to change in order to filter through not just this environment, but in order to create a new environment that will be sustainable for human brains. So I feel like in a way, map consciousness is training by Gaia and the universe to adapt to these new brain states that are necessary. It's almost like there's so many different experiences and altered states happening, just like there's a lot of different mutations happening and a lot of different things. But not all of them go somewhere. But something will go somewhere eventually. So in a way, it's not a test, either. It's a filter. It's like waves crashing ashore. It's like a tide. Our brains go into these altered states and these non ordinary states, and then we we come back like a wave like the tide coming in. So our brains go into those states and go into those states. But we eventually do come ashore. And they talked about how in Google, they were looking for a CEO and they gave him a Navy SEAL like test to find the right CEO for Google quite a few years ago now. And I think the universe is testing our brains in a way to and selecting for wisdom. And remember Dr. Alberto patella doe said, nature selects for wisdom. So I think it puts us in these wisdom states, these states beyond just logic and reason, to start to try to select for that wisdom. And by getting with those states and seeing and creating with that, we can And create what that wisdom is trying to create. It's definitely not trying to create mental patients, but that's what human beings who don't have that wisdom or any understanding, turn us into. And so in a way the masses are the environment. So we as brains that go into these non ordinary states are these wisdom harvesting, meaning harvesting states have to bring back enough meaning to change how the masses respond to us. And that's in a way because they are the environment that we're received by when we're coming back. The wave is on the ebb. There's the ebb and the flow. And when we're on the app, or in danger of being captured by the masses. So just as people are testing who can be navy seals, the universe is testing who can carry this meaning into some kind of something, I don't know what and it's also seeing if life can trust us. Life is trying to see if it can trust us. And they talked about str, which has four qualities of non ordinary states, which was selflessness, timelessness, effortlessness, and richness. And I've talked about richness in terms of meaning, there's this inner richness, when there is no time, and there is no self as the me, and there's no effort. And so on away our state is usually so ordinary, I turned around, and I say, our state is usually so ordinary, and mediocre, because we have a self, or we feel a self where we operate from a self. We're always putting in a lot of effort. And we think in terms of time of being better. So in a way, the self and time and effort are all the same thing. I feel like Krishnamurti would say those are all the same thing. Because it's the me that makes effort to be better. So the me is the effort. There's no me aside from the effort. There's no self, aside from effort and time. Well, effort implies time because it takes time to change or to get better, no richness. So they talk about selfless, effortless, timeless, and richness. So the rich ness is the only one that isn't less because it's self less timeless, effortless. So if you subtract itself and time and effort, then there's richness. So if there's richness, in a way, there's no self and there's no time and there's no effort. So I think richness equals negative self minus effort minus time. But those three things are all the same in a way. So if you can rid yourself have any of those things then you may come upon the richness. states are so ordinary because we've been conditioned to have a self, make effort, live by time, feel rich. And I feel like the self is a manifestation of society. It's what we need to navigate society. So what would be a manifestation of Gaia? When we think about the sphere of society is very narrow compared to the sphere of Gaia. So society being lost in that denies the richness of Gaia To be continued.So last night, my brain twin didn't arrive until 1130. And then we're talking for about an hour. So I think I went to bed around 1230. But I definitely remember having that heart pounding thing happen, and the fear and the fear of death. And it's, it's scary. And I still fall asleep, though. And that was without Seroquel. And then I had to wake up at seven, so, or 730. So I didn't get the longest sleep. And so falling asleep has been a little bit dicey these last three nights. For the first night, I was falling asleep, then the second night it was staying asleep. And then the third night it was falling asleep again. So the hearty nutritional stuff is supposed to come tomorrow, and it probably won't come until evening. And so they said take two, three times a day. And then at some point, I'll just take six before bed. So tonight won't be included in that. So we'll see how tonight goes. And then tomorrow is a little bit of a day with the essential amino acids. And then Thursday, we'll be able to do the full amounts. And I'm saying this because I'm hoping that it helps. Because if it doesn't, that might be a sign that I should head home

In today's talk, David Tacey explores the similarities and differences between spiritual experiences and mental illness. He describes the relationship between our sense of a discrete self, the Ego, and a larger sense of an interconnected spiritual self through the Unconscious. From the mystical experience to psychopathology, David details how the Jungian conception of the psyche provides us with immense insight into the ways in which this relationship can benefit or harm us.

Many of us were not validated as children and throughout our lives for what we sense and feel, so connecting with ourselves naturally brings up old stories that are intertwined with fear, resistance, mis-trust and doubt. Xandra shares her process for how to move through the feelings of fear that arise as we do spiritual work, and the process of learning how to trust our spiritual connection.

While she remembered her life purpose was that of being in service to humanity & from the age of two knew she wanted to "be a doctor to help assist people to be well," it would take many years of emotional pain from traumatic childhood abuse & frequent bouts of deep depression during childhood and adolescence, before Mesheril was guided to her Native Canadian mentor to begin healing the wounds of not just her current life, but other life times & ancestral trauma as well. Through the gift of deep introspection & self-honesty, & a desire to live from her Authentic-Self, the wounds of the past began to release & layers of the old self began to shrivel & die as her True-Self began to emerge. A process that was amplified as she was taken into repeated Shamanic Death experiences (also called the Dark Night of the Soul or Spiritual Emergence), which sometimes lasted for months at a time & seemed never ending.

In this episode of Functional Medicine Research, I interview Dr. Ron Parks in a discussion about COVID-19 and the mental health crises. Dr. Parks has written a new book "COVID-19 and Mental Health Crises" which we discuss as well as a variety of other topics that can help those afflicted by this pandemic. The mental health aspects of COVID-19 are often overlooked with more of a focus on the physical aspects of the illness, medications, vaccines etc. As usual in the United States, mental health is pushed to the back of the bus with little to no dialogue or support for those who need psychological support. Dr. Parks provides a voice for those in need with his excellent new book. Full Transcript on COVID-19 Mental Health Crises Dr. Hedberg: Well, welcome, everyone, to Functional Medicine Research. I'm Dr. Hedberg. Very excited today to have my good friend and colleague, Dr. Ron Parks, on the show. And we're gonna be talking about his new book. And Dr. Parks is a respected physician, teacher, book author, writer, and mentor, with an integrative and holistic perspective. He especially trained in internal medicine, nutrition, preventive medicine, and board-certified in psychiatry. Currently, Dr. Parks is the medical director and psychiatrist for The Center for Spiritual Emergence and Katharos Sanctuary in Asheville, North Carolina. He has an MD from the University of Maryland and a master's degree in public health and health service research from the University of California at Los Angeles. He has completed specialty training and internal medicine at George Washington University, preventive medicine at UCLA, and psychiatry at the University of Maryland. Dr. Parks is a former assistant professor at the Albany and University of Miami Medical School, chief of internal medicine at the Homestead Air Force Base Hospital in Florida, former director of the Center for Preventive and Nutritional Healthcare in Baltimore, Maryland, and founder of the MacroHealth Medicine, a comprehensive and holistic consultative and treatment service, formerly in Asheville, North Carolina. Dr. Parks, welcome to the show. Dr. Parks: Well, thank you, Nik. Thank you for having me. Dr. Hedberg: Yeah. I'm looking forward to this. So, you've written a new book, it's called "COVID-19 and Mental Health Crises." So, we're gonna dig into that. But before we do that, can you just talk a little bit about how you got into integrative functional medicine and psychiatry? Dr. Parks: Well, that's a good question. Actually, it started when I was very young. I think I write a little bit about this in the book. I came down one summer as a kid with polio. And it was very upsetting, of course. And I compared it to the current COVID crisis. Back then there was no treatment and everybody had been waiting 10 years, 8 to 10 years for a vaccine. But here I was, a young, healthy, athletic kid that suddenly was running high fevers and a stiff neck. So, I ended up in the hospital at a children's ward. And back then the only treatment they had was more of a natural treatment called the Sister Kenny treatment. It was like a heat treatment. They wrap you in warm towels. And so that was my first exposure to, you know, what I would call functional medicine or holistic medicine. Though I had a sweat through it, but luckily, I didn't end up with the paralytic form of it, but sometimes I do think I have some of the long...they're talking about with a new virus, the long hauler syndrome. But with polio, there were some aftermaths there, and I think maybe some of the weakness I had some time in the legs and things like that might be from that. But anyway, that got me started on the path of interest in broader treatment programs. But a lot of it came, though, from my being formally, formally trained in internal medicine, where everything was about labels and diagnosis. And I remember in training, I got yelled at by the pathology teacher because I looked at a slide and ...

Spiritual Growth as a Road to Psychological Well-Being

Transpersonal Psychology is the section of psychological study that addresses spiritual or transcendent elements of personal experience. The idea of our transpersonal lives is that which encompasses or goes beyond our typical and practical daily lives and into wider or unexplained aspects of what we may encounter in life. This may include peak or mystical experiences, spiritual crisis (in which typical elements of life are no longer sufficient to establish a sense of meaning) and expanded perceptions of life (i.e., who or what we are). Transpersonal psychology addresses our highest potential or evolutionary states of being that may transcend the ego drivers and ordinary states of consciousness. We hope you will join us as we explore this fascinating topic with our special guest Steven Taylor! He is a Transpersonal Psychologist University professor and author who has written 13 books on the topic of spiritual growth and emergence. His extraordinary depth of understanding of this topic and many years of experience delving into this topic have formed a body of work that helps to elevate and inspire. His work goes beyond what we buy, our education, even specific religious backgrounds, and rather into how we profoundly connect to each other and our planet. https://www.stevenmtaylor.com/books/ His work shines hope on a time that has led many to feel destabilized and unsatisfied. His most recent book The Clear Light is an exploration of Spiritual Reflections and Meditations illustrating our ultimate connection with each other and the world around us, and beyond. His book Spiritual Science addresses the importance of our spiritual growth in making sense of the larger world around us, and is grounded in science. My favorite is The Leap, which covers stories of individuals unfolding in their own spiritual growth, revealing the mystery that weaves us together as beings on this complicated life journey. Certainly, when it comes to serious life events and trauma, a well-developed spiritual life can help us navigate the darkest of times. Dr. Emma Bragdon, author and "spiritual emergence" coach has her own heart wrenching and traumatic life experiences. She used spiritual practices including meditation to face the suicide of her mother, followed within a year by her father, the end of her marriage and suicide of her employer. She explained that "without meditation and my connection to a meaningful spiritual community ... I likely would have shipwrecked and fallen into the deeps ... a very human response to total overwhelm." https://www.emmabragdon.com/about One of the earliest Transpersonal Psychologists was William James (1842 to 1910) who described the experience of oneness! James said "a great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices". He captured the struggle of our beliefs with realizations that remain important today. He also recognized that "The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds." This idea that we are more than our beliefs is good medicine even today, more than 100 years after his death. So let's dive into this discussion to better understand what Transpersonal Psychology is and how your Spiritual Emergence can be a time of healing and integration.

The great LSD psychiatrist Stanislav Grof referred to the collection of cognitive, emotional, and spiritual disturbances that can follow a powerful psychedelic experience as a “spiritual emergence.” He saw this an evolutionary crisis rather than a mental disease. So how do we know if we are in a soul’s initiation or simply a Sisyphean loop of our tormented mind? Like many of us in this difficult pandemic winter, I have been going through my own dark night, so I called up one of my favorite iboga experts, Dr. Joseph Barsuglia to understand how to navigate my experience. On the show, we discuss initiation through the lens of the powerful plant medicine iboga and the Bwiti tradition in Africa. We explore where it might be appropriate to turn to psychotropic medication for stability during protracted healing. We also talk about how to understand the liminal space of transformation and when healing is complete. Finally we review various ways to find refuge and solace in these difficult times. Joseph is a PhD neuropsychologist and was the Director of Clinical Assessment and Research the former iconic ibogaine facility, Crossroads Treatment Center. Trained with MAPS and initiated in the Bwiti tradition in Gabon, Joseph advises on psychedelic medicine and alternative healthcare.

Joe earned his BA in philosophy in New Hampshire. After stumbling upon the work of pioneering psychedelic psychiatrist Dr. Stanislav Grof in 2001, Joe began participating in Holotropic Breathwork workshops in Vermont in 2003 and he later began helping facilitate Holotropic and Transpersonal Breathwork workshops. In this week’s episode, Joe discusses how he and his co-founder, Kyle Buller started Psychedelics Today, and how their podcast led to them developing a number of online courses. Their upcoming course is Navigating Psychedelics for Clinicians and Therapists. This 8 week course is good for both those wanting to learn how to better understand a client’s needs as a physician or a therapist and for those looking to get a taste of what the psychedelic therapy world is like before embarking on official training. Joe also talks about how mystical and spiritual experiences can play a role in psychology. While often overlooked in the current psychiatric system, Joe believes these spiritual and mystical experiences may help to heal patients in certain situations. In this episode: How Psychedelics Today started, and what led to offering courses. What information Joe found lacking in the psychedelic community. What to expect in the Navigating Psychedelics course and who it is for. How psychological theories incorporate into the work of facilitation Spiritual Emergence and its potential benefit to the current psychiatric system Quotes: “We just thought the psychedelic world is really interesting, but it is really lacking regular discussion of Dr. Stan Groff and Holotropic Breathwork. So really it [The Psychedelics Today podcast] was a way that we could contribute and bring voices that we thought were important back to the foreground" [5:13] "I don't want to be the Tony Robbins telling you how, you know, this is exactly how you should be charging at your problems. It's like no - you need to take an individualized approach." [13:03] "If more people had a lot more support like we could see people self resolve things [trauma and psychological issues] instead of going into the psychiatric system for decades."

There are all kinds of emergencies, but did you know that many people experience what is called a spiritual emergency? A spiritual emergency or spiritual crisis can be scary and sudden with symptoms such as hearing voices and seeing visions, but it can also be an opportunity for healing and for many, it's a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth. Join us in our conversation with Lisa Wheeler, a Licensed Professional Counselor, as she explains how she helps people through these kinds of emergencies. During this conversation Lisa shares her own experiences that led her to eventually do the kind of work she does now. Topics that are covered in this episode include: What is Spiritual Emergence and the Spiritual Emergence Network? Lisa's spiritual crisis and paranormal experiences. The power of emotions, the energy behind them, and the information they provide us with. The importance of speaking your truth and being assertive. Is a spiritual crisis planned by the soul? Coping with a spiritual crisis. Lisa's work with teens and families through a spiritual crisis Do the people in your life reflect your inner spiritual growth? Effective paths to healing. Recommended reading: Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg Lisa Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor whose area of special interest is helping individuals whose experiences fall outside of the cultural norm, i.e. hearing voices, seeing visions/entities, lucid dreaming, and unexplained knowing, among others. Lisa believes that these creative mechanisms are organic, relevant, and serve to balance out the individual. When these expressions are collaboratively examined in a gentle and non-judgemental manner, the possibilities for the individual are endless. Whether you sense events before they happen, see the walking dead, or have continual experiences that you find difficult to accept and talk about due to shame, you have come to the right place.

As more people speak openly about their spiritual experiences, and the challenges that come with waking up, the discussion about how society can appropriately acknowledge and support this shift is attracting the attention of professionals. One such group is the American Center for the Integration of Spiritually Transformative Experiences, or ACISTE (pronounced like “assist”). ACISTE is an association of professional therapists dedicated to educating their field about spiritual emergence. As Ken discusses on today's episode with 3 people from ACISTE, often people will seek therapeutic help when they're having an opening, and the therapists they speak with will interpret their spiritual epiphanies as signs of mental illness. Rather than getting validation and support, they get medication and condemnation. Ken is joined by: Katrina Michelle, PhD, LCSW, an holistic psychotherapist, and adjunct professor currently based in NYC. Katrina serves as the executive director for The ACISTE. Edy Nathan, MA, LCSW is a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience specializing in the integration of psychotherapy and the world of spirituality, and the author of It's Grief: The Dance of Self-Discovery through Trauma and Loss. Michael Garbe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, specializing in working with individuals who would like to have spirituality integrated into their therapeutic process.

Download In this episode, Joe and Kyle sit down with Renn Butler, who graduated from the second ever class of Holotropic Breathwork in 1989. During the show, they discuss topics on Breathwork, Stan Grof practices, archetypal astrology and the astrological landscape we are entering in 2019. 3 Key Points: Renn Butler is an Archetypal and Holotropic Astrologer since the 70’s who uses astrology in his Breathwork practice. Stan Grof’s Internalized Protocol includes lying down with eye shades and headphones with a sober sitter. A sober sitter is more common in therapeutic settings versus the shamanistic group settings, and Renn believes there is more benefit to a sober sitter in a personal session than a group session. We are moving into a Jupiter square Neptune for all of 2019. Neptune represents our soul’s yearning to reawaken to the universal field of consciousness and Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches, so we are entering into a time of opportunity for self exploration and awakening.

Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes About Renn Renn became interested in Stan Grof’s work through many conversations with Richard Tarnas in 1980, and then participated in a Grof month long session with guests like Gwen Frishkoff He spent much time in Esalon He remembers walking through the hallways where the mandalas from breathwork sessions were hung He has been an Archetypal/Holotropic Astrologer since the 70’s Archetypal Astrology Stan Grof looked at ways to determine the content of people’s experiences in assisted psychotherapy Through his friendship with Richard Tarnas, he found that people’s planetary alignments or ‘transits’ corresponded in a remarkable way with their experience in a session “The purpose of astrology is to predict the meaning behind events rather than trying to determine the specific concrete forms they take.” - Renn Carl Jung coined the term archetype based on the Greek word “arche”, which means ‘the forms’ It's the psychological meaning behind events Richard learned astrology by looking at his sessions and the content of the sessions and their correlation with astrological transits Based on his findings, he was able to predict the best days to do sessions A Powerful Breathwork Session Renn had Kundalini Experiences happening for 4 years Transiting Pluto was conjoining his natal Neptune Pluto compels into being whatever archetypes it aligns with Neptune represents divine consciousness He did a 5 hour breathwork session that caused him to re-live aspects of toxic womb (disturbances of intrauterine life) Pluto can help clear out disturbances of the psyche At the end of the session, he felt way more cleared out than he did before It resolved his Kundalini episode that he was in for the last few years Kundalini Awakenings Some describe it as energy moving up the spine or chakra It means to clear out leftover traumatic baggage in the psyche People can have emotional outbursts and start crying or screaming as they discharge the energy Afterward, they will care what happens to the ecosystem and around them and want to be a part of the solution Spiritual Emergence and Psychosis Joe asks when to tell the difference between knowing if someone is going through a Spiritual Emergence or needs hospitalization Renn responds saying you need to look for if the person is taking responsibility for their healing versus projecting. Projecting would be someone saying “You guys are trying to poison me” versus taking responsibility and saying “I’m feeling toxic feelings inside myself” Free Webinar on Spiritual Emergence and Psychosis Renn mentions a woman who did 90 LSD sessions with Stan Grof “The greatest therapeutic outcomes exist with intelligent well established individuals whose lives become boring and rigid in routine” - Stan Grof Current Astrological Alignments The Astrological Alignments for the next few years are supercharged Uranus square Pluto - a powerful set of archetypes The last time this happened was the end of the 60’s Richard Tarnas calls it the ‘sunset effect’, colors will saturate the sky in the archetypal realm Many people are going to have dramatic healing breakthroughs and openings until 2020 For those who are a bit skeptical about astrology, Renn suggest reading newer texts; Cosmos and Psyche Prometheus the Awakener Making the Gods Work for You Horoscope Symbols Planets in Transit Astrological Transits in Relation to Breathwork Richard’s correlation of the outer planets Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto with Grof’s 4 perinatal matrices shows the process of revolutionizing astrology Carl Jung would do chart work before seeing all of his patients He would try to find transits with Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, etc There are no astrological alignments that would be too dangerous to do journey-work during But Renn says it's like putting up the lightning rod during certain transits during breathwork “Lie back and let the mother give birth to you” - Renn Renn says it's safer if you are on your back during journey work versus walking around and facing gravity and falling or hurting yourself Grof Internalized Protocol One patient at a time (sitter, breather team) to lie down, wear eye shades, and listen to music through headphones The sitter agrees not to judge or direct the process or abandon the process You can expect miracles with this type of protocol You can't face this material by yourself, you really need people you trust, who are sober and not doing a substance, one person at a time Renn says the ayahuasca revolution has brought a lot of greatness to the western world, but the shamanic traditions usually meant that the shaman drinks with the clients to have a magical insight into the users psyche Sitter Role In a therapeutic framework, the sitter is sober and lets the client do all of the work, and the sitter is there to assist, but not to interfere with the process Stan describes it as a way to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks Renn brings up an example of 3 people doing mushrooms together One person might be feeling aggressive, and another person might feel like a baby wanting to be held The aggressive person won't want to be doing any cuddling One person does the catalyst, and the other 2 support them, and then the next time they rotate Renn thinks one deep session is more beneficial than 3 ‘half-assed’ sessions Interruptions During Sessions Some people have a fear that their experience may interrupt another person's experience Renn says that if someone is laughing or screaming or crying that he understands it is just a part of the universe of the way things just are He is shocked to hear stories about people having a loud experience getting taken out away from the rest of the group and told to contain themselves Kyle mentions that sounds usually aren't a bother, and the loud music helps But it's talking, English words that bring people out of a session People can have great ayahuasca ceremonies, and then they think that ayahuasca is the best psychedelic out there Renn says that all psychedelics are great tools But he encourages people to try breathwork and this solo session style healing Joe says he dreams of a place where shamanism takes a look at the solo process and maybe not always the group process, that all cultures can combine our knowledge for the best result 2019 We are moving into a Jupiter square Neptune for all of 2019, 90 degrees between Jupiter and Neptune Neptune represents our soul’s yearning to reawaken to the larger world’s soul, to the universal field of consciousness Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches This presents a large opportunity for self exploration, with a feeling of deeper cosmic safety “It seems like our psyche’s wait until things are safe for the deepest material to surface.” - Renn Renn says it's good to focus on death so that we can constantly keep our priorities straight Links A Week of Holotropic Breathwork, Dreamwork, Archetypal Astrology, and Visits to Mayan Ruins in Tulum, Mexico Archetypal Astrology Consultations Renn's Books The Archetypal Universe Pathways to Wholeness Check out our online course, "Introduction to Psychedelics" About Renn Following a B.A. in English and Religious Studies from the University of Alberta, Renn Butler lived at the Esalen Institute in California for 2½ years where he became deeply immersed in the transpersonal psychology of Stanislav Grof and the emerging archetypal astrology of Richard Tarnas.

In this episode of Psychedelics Today, Kyle and Joe dig into and create conversation over an email received about the cost of psychedelics, the facets of capitalism and about feeling isolated after a psychedelic experience. 3 Key Points: Capitalism in psychedelics is a complex topic and includes factors such as the schooling system, the medical system, monopoly, trade, and other facets that go into the cost of psychedelics. There are other forms of therapy that don’t have to involve psychedelics or lots of money. Feeling isolated after an experience is sometimes our own blockage, by refusing to create community because a person hasn’t had the same experience as us. Psychedelics aren't always needed for a psychedelic experience. Support the show Patreon Leave us a review on iTunes Share us with your friends – favorite podcast, etc Join our Facebook group - Psychedelics Today group – Find the others and create community. Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes Email concern: Some psychedelic experiences seem segregated by a price bracket. Ketamine Therapy - believed it would help with their depression, but ended up spending a thousand dollars every two weeks. Joe - curious that ketamine lozenges may be a cheaper option that could help. Kyle - although the drug itself may be cheap, you’re not just paying for the lozenges, you're paying for a therapist or a psychiatrist. Kyle - in America, healing is a privilege. We work hard to pay for health insurance, or even if we are insured through work or family, it gets hard to pay for because of the premiums. “I would rather pay for taking care of myself, than going out and partying with friends.” Healing may have to be a choice sadly, you may have to ask yourself “do I want this or do I need this?” Joe - One treatment of ketamine is beneficial for a short-term intervention in an urgent state One session of ketamine therapy helps the user understand the situation clearer and can reduce the thoughts of suicide Kyle - “some of my greatest healing experiences were done through my own work, with myself or with friends” “How do you feel about the resurgence of spirituality and psychedelics and it’s capitalism?” Joe - Going from the states to Peru to do ayahuasca to reach spiritualism isn't the only means of spirituality. There are so many other options than capitalist outlets to find spiritual development. Kyle - “I want to offer a lot of help, and do free workshops, but need money to survive.” Joe - Jokingly “You’re three months behind on your rent Terrence!” A person doesn't need hundreds of trips to be complete and happy, Aldous Huxley says you need three to four strong trips throughout your life. “How do we protect the planet, and how do we maintain freedom?” To talk about Capitalism and psychedelics, we are assuming that something needs to mediate the trade or exchange for therapy. Let’s continue to educate ourselves so that we don’t blame capitalism on the fact that therapy has a cost. It’s a hard conversation to have, it’s a complex topic. Joe - pro-socialized medicine $30,000 for a first responder to take an overdose death away $20-$30 for a Narcan Let’s prevent and heal more. Capitalism does incentivize doctors and healers. Kyle - “how can we use these as tools and not toys?” Medicalization of psychedelics may have a potential tie to capitalism The difference between doing it legally for an extremely high price, versus paying the market price for a gram of mushrooms (illegally) and doing the work (therapy) on your own. Joe - Monopoly=capitalism Kyle - the Education system Student loan debt can be a half a million dollars to be a doctor or therapist That debt plays an effect on how much those doctors or therapists charge “How do you deal with isolationism that certain psychedelic experiences bring forward?” Kyle - “this has been a huge issue in my life, this resonates with me. After having my near-death experience, I didn't know to talk to people, how to function in the world. A near-death experience is one of the most psychedelic things. To slowly slip away and ‘die’, and come back to this place and not feel like this is where I belong, how do I exist here? It can lead to isolation. It can be extremely heavy.” “We're all experiencing this reality through our own lens, so we have to meet people where they are.” The reason these experiences can make us feel lonely is that of the lack of community. Kyle believes in not just constantly going into these experiences, but more about the integration of the experiences. Joe - Tim Leary says “Find the others”. But there are a lot of psychedelic people out there who don't take psychedelics that can be a part of your ‘community’. Kyle - it makes sense to feel like you need to connect with someone who has done psychedelics in order for them to understand, but we can connect with other people who may not have had psychedelic experiences. The psychedelic experience isn't the only way. We can also experience spiritualism and healing without psychedelics, too. Kyle - Experience in Jamaica, the Rastas talking about home and family, “if the oil splashes up and burns me, my family isn't here to help me, but you're here to help me, and you can help me.” The people around me are family, they don't always need to have had experienced the same things as me in order to help me Joe - group strengthens self Robert Anton Wilson’s habit - he would order magazine subscriptions and most subscriptions aligned with his interests, and the other half were of subscriptions way outside of his interests, so he wouldn't develop a bias.

Learn more about Gnosis: http://www.gnosisretreatcenter.org/ [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4-lJWwwRc8] A brief introduction to Gnosis Suppose you come to the end of your tether, can no longer cope, have a break-down, fall apart, go to pieces. To whom would you turn? Where would you go? What alternatives do you have when you desperately need help, but have little, if any, say in the kind of help available? When a person’s suffering becomes insupportable, to him or herself and to others, and yet persists, that person is in a state of distress. Once you find yourself in distress you come to realize that you are at the mercy of other people. Which of those people are you willing to be at their mercy, for better or worse? To whom are you willing to entrust your life? If you don’t happen to know anyone who comes to mind, then how will you go about finding someone you can trust? Do such persons exist? Gnosis Retreat Center aspires to be such a place, by providing a safe place to be, when you are alone and afraid, confused, bereft, and not sure whom to turn to for help.

Sherree Malcolm Godasi - The Psychedelic Integration Coach

As psychedelics and plant medicines continue to gain mainstream attention, more and more people are becoming interested in having their own experience. While many people travel outside their home country to experience ayahuasca legally in a retreat setting, many people are participating in ceremonies in the "underground" all over the world. Attending a festival, large or small, is also a very common place for people to experiment with psychedelic substances. This new wave of psychedelic use is almost like a new rites of passage for many. Two parts of any rites of passage is the preparation and integration of the experience. Sherree Malcolm Godasi can and does help. Download We talk with Sherree Malcolm Godasi about her work with psychedelic preparation and integration. As she mentions on her site, Psychedelic Integration Coach: Preparation for ceremony and ongoing, post-ceremony integration of the lessons shown by Ayahuasca are all about developing the physiological and psychological flexibility that would enable the drinker to surrender to her awesome, wise spirit. It is also about harnessing the time, effort and resources put into ceremony work to ensure that the healing is anchored and cultivated in the default life. The diligent preparation stage aims to cleanse the mind, body and energetic field and opens the drinker to receive, and is most beneficial when started a month in advance. Following the ceremony, as the lessons from La Medicina – THE Medicine – will keep unfolding for weeks, months and even years later, a mindful integration stage of minimum 3 months is recommended. This intentional awareness surrounding the experience allows you to successfully retain the positively life-changing connection with Mother Ayahuasca long after you exit the jungle and return to your home environment – this is how miracles turn into your reality. What type of services does Sherree Offer? Information addressing your concerns about the use of psychedelic substances/entheogens based on contemporary scientific research, ancient medicine teachings, my academic studies, professional training and personal experience Support and guidance to those who are experiencing challenging and adverse effects related to psychedelic substances Support and guidance to those who are undergoing a spiritual emergence or spiritual emergency, due to the use of psychedelic substances or otherwise Educational tools to individuals who wish to learn how to support others who have experienced/are experiencing altered states. What type of services does Sherree NOT offer? Plant medicines or psychedelic substances of any kind, or advice on where/how to acquire them Psychedelic therapy sessions, guided medicine journeys, or ceremonies involving plant medicines or psychedelic substances References to facilitators or centers who provide psychedelics/medicine sessions Recommendations for using any plant medicines/psychedelic substances Psychotherapy or other clinical mental health services, medical services, evaluations or diagnosis, or legal services.

When Life Cried Out is a courageous woman’s amazing adventure as she surrendered to the Spiritual to discover what life and self-love are all about. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Paddy Fievet experienced more dark nights than she did Light. Instead of knowing who she was from a spiritual, innate truth, she spent most of her time living as others wished her to live. In utter despair one stormy night, she dropped to her knees in prayer. With complete earnest, she asked God to eliminate everything in her life that was standing in the way of her spirituality. It was quite a brave prayer. Within two months, everything in Paddy’s life began to fall apart. Her marriage exploded, friendships suddenly faded, and she was asked to leave her church. In just two years, she lost her house, felt the need to leave her community of thirty years, and realized that long-held interests no longer had any meaning. Agoraphobic as well as battling an intense panic attack disorder, Paddy began to seek help by turning to intuition to access the wisdom of the Divine. In meditation, she would write her question, and then while in a dreamlike state write the answer she intuited. It turned out to be the best psychology she ever experienced. Another of her books is The Making of a Mystic: Writing as a Form of Spiritual Emergence.
