Yeah, I mean, there's thankfully more and more and more books out there in the space these days as it grows around the world and in public consciousness, and thankfully there's more and more of an emphasis on integration, which hasn't always been the case Mm-hmm. 77 00:09:23,186.71184022 --> 00:09:23,846.71184022 Yeah Yeah. 78 00:09:23,876.71184022 --> 00:09:25,326.71184022 I would completely agree with that. 79 00:09:25,356.71184022 --> 00:09:33,876.71084022 I, Harmony and I have this, this story that we've been telling, that I did all the stuff that you sell at Golden Rule 30 years ago. 80 00:09:34,416.71184022 --> 00:09:37,626.71084022 And, Harmony now, this is our new hobby. 81 00:09:37,686.71184022 --> 00:09:38,896.71084022 This is what we do now. 82 00:09:39,256.71284022 --> 00:09:40,356.71084022 we do this. 83 00:09:40,436.71184022 --> 00:09:41,576.71084022 We do psychedelics. 84 00:09:41,586.71184022 -->

00:09:42,956.71084022 We don't do yoga anymore. 85 00:09:42,966.71084022 --> 00:09:44,813.37750688 We don't walk the dogs. 86 00:09:44,813.37750688 --> 00:09:48,56.71184022 We're just- We do all of those things too on psychedelics all the time. 87 00:09:48,536.71184022 --> 00:09:49,466.71284022 but it, but the, the... 88 00:09:49,466.71284022 --> 00:09:58,316.71384022 I keep saying to people, like, the most profound difference between now and in the early '90s is this integration piece, and the container that people have. 89 00:09:58,326.71084022 --> 00:10:10,6.71284022 Because if you, if you had your mind blown and you were struggling, you were basically just left in the corner of a warehouse- to fend for yourself while everyone else just kept dancing. 90 00:10:10,496.71284022 --> 00:10:14,796.71284022 But nowadays, it's very different, and I wonder if you can talk about that. 91 00:10:14,796.71284022 --> 00:10:29,863.38050688 Because I think that may be, like, the, the block for a lot of people the lack of integration, and simultaneously What allows people to feel like they might be able to do something like this, is that they will be held and contained, and they'll be okay. 92 00:10:30,163.38050688 --> 00:10:34,983.38050688 Well, also I think the difference, too, is, like, recreational use. 93 00:10:35,33.37550688 --> 00:10:39,483.37950688 I mean, we're just throwing everything at you, so you can take it in whatever direction you wanna go. 94 00:10:39,503.37650688 --> 00:10:43,323.37984022 But- Have you done psychedelics? I, we don't even No we haven't even started. 95 00:10:43,523.38150688 --> 00:11:06,493.37650688 But recreational, you know, like, "Oh, I'm doing this to escape my life or escape the mundane doldrums of, you know, existence," versus using it therapeutically or even, spiritually for growth and awareness and development, and those are very different kinda paradigms. 96 00:11:06,493.37750688 --> 00:11:11,516.70684022 Or- So you've been in this, world for three decades, so tell us all about it. 97 00:11:11,546.70884022 --> 00:11:15,256.71184022 Or even religiously, like the Santo Daime, you know? Yeah. 98 00:11:15,476.71184022 --> 00:11:15,526.71184022 Mm. 99 00:11:16,375.71084022 --> 00:11:17,35.71084022 Yep. 100 00:11:17,475.71084022 --> 00:11:21,645.71084022 I would say I work with two different sets of people. 101 00:11:21,945.71084022 --> 00:11:28,695.71084022 I work with people who say, "I would never in a million years thought that I would be coming to psychedelics." 102 00:11:28,925.71084022 --> 00:11:30,835.71084022 They're just not psychedelic people. 103 00:11:30,835.71084022 --> 00:11:31,725.71084022 They had a lot of fear. 104 00:11:31,725.71084022 --> 00:11:32,855.71084022 They had a lot of stigma. 105 00:11:33,375.71084022 --> 00:11:35,95.70984022 I would count myself in that. 106 00:11:35,95.70984022 --> 00:11:36,865.71084022 I w- I am fully Gen X. 107 00:11:36,895.71084022 --> 00:11:42,285.70984022 I grew up at the height of, like, Reagan, just say no, all indoctrination, drugs. 108 00:11:42,295.70984022 --> 00:11:43,355.70984022 all of it, all of it. 109 00:11:43,824.70984022 --> 00:11:55,894.70984022 And then on top of that, I had a grand mal seizure disorder growing up, so I was really made to feel fearful, you know, about destabilizing my mind when they couldn't really explain why my mind was destabilized. 110 00:11:55,904.70784022 --> 00:12:01,344.70684022 So I tend to work with a lot of those people, and I really understand and resonate when people are coming with that. 111 00:12:01,774.70984022 --> 00:12:11,14.70784022 And then I work with a lot of people who, to your point, they're like, "I've done a lot of psychedelics earlier in life, but I could definitely say it was not intentional." 112 00:12:12,913.70884022 --> 00:12:14,523.70884022 I didn't take them intentionally. 113 00:12:14,774.70584022 --> 00:12:15,824.70584022 not at all. 114 00:12:16,174.70684022 --> 00:12:24,954.70884022 And most of the time they had a good experience or they laughed a lot or they had a curious experience, but they couldn't really integrate it. 115 00:12:25,14.70384022 --> 00:12:38,981.71084022 It never landed in their life and reality, so now they're coming to practice with an intentionality and a meaning attached to it and looking beyond the molecule into more of what is this experience gonna be for me?

What is it that makes people more or less like- Soft it's lots of different things, but for starters, I would say, age is usually one. 241 00:22:44,473.3795069 --> 00:22:48,813.3795069 Like, we tend to get set in our ways as we age, so my older brain... 242 00:22:48,813.3795069 --> 00:22:56,123.3785069 So probably my clients who work at the higher doses are my, like, 75-plus-year-olds from New England. 243 00:22:56,764.3795069 --> 00:23:03,463.3795069 Wow I'm like, "You're probably gonna just start off at a higher dose than someone else might off the bat." 244 00:23:03,963.3795069 --> 00:23:08,163.3795069 kids, younger people have very flexible, open minds. 245 00:23:08,183.3785069 --> 00:23:16,113.3795069 It's usually not kind of, quieting their mind, it's bringing coherence to their mind, and just a little bit is all that it takes. 246 00:23:16,253.3795069 --> 00:23:18,953.3785069 Also, how much of a mental person somebody is. 247 00:23:18,963.3785069 --> 00:23:27,93.3785069 Somebody can be very open and flowy and spiritual, but if you have a very active mind, those people tend to need a higher dose. 248 00:23:27,123.3785069 --> 00:23:32,763.3785069 I work with a lot of artists and creatives that are very open and can kind of go into liminal states without anything. 249 00:23:33,183.3805069 --> 00:23:36,283.3795069 And so they tend to work at a low range. 250 00:23:36,653.3775069 --> 00:23:45,243.3795069 I work with a lot of fine artists and painters, and they tend to be very comfortable in liminal stasis already, and so they work at very low doses. 251 00:23:45,453.3795069 --> 00:23:57,472.3815069 Healers that have had a lot of contemplative practice, too, um, especially my female healers, like 60, post-menopausal, they tend to work at very low doses also Yeah. 252 00:23:57,592.3815069 --> 00:23:58,312.3815069 That's so interesting. 253 00:23:58,312.3815069 --> 00:24:09,252.3815069 Yeah, I, I find that I disassociate very easily, and I'll just walking around in another place and manipulating objects in another land. 254 00:24:09,382.3815069 --> 00:24:11,72.3815069 I- That's without a microdose. 255 00:24:11,623.3815069 --> 00:24:12,522.3805069 Yeah Yeah. 256 00:24:14,113.0350423 --> 00:24:15,696.0350423 Yeah, I dosing whatsoever. 257 00:24:15,696.0350423 --> 00:24:16,66.0350423 I do. 258 00:24:16,276.0350423 --> 00:24:20,916.0350423 I think it's a good example of like a lot of people keep using psychedelics. 259 00:24:20,926.0350423 --> 00:24:31,466.0350423 When you get to a certain point, I think the point is you don't need them anymore to, to reach a se- you have a whole new set point and you have a whole new experience of life. 260 00:24:31,516.0350423 --> 00:25:06,653.0340423 Yeah Why would somebody, like, look to microdosing? I mean, your case sounds very, unique in that you were open to trying this, like, and going against sort of conventional medical guidance and just, like, trusting your own self, and that probably comes from decades of, like, doing your own inner work and meditation and really, like, knowing your body and trusting yourself and trusting that you would know if something felt good or not for you. 261 00:25:07,63.0330423 --> 00:25:09,13.0290423 but like how... 262 00:25:09,143.0310423 --> 00:25:21,778.0320423 Like, what are some reasons that people come to you and start to seek out, like, like maybe I want to try microdosing psychedelics? for sure. 263 00:25:21,778.0320423 --> 00:25:25,688.0320423 I mean, it's definitely a lot more today than it was when I was starting out. 264

00:25:26,88.0320423 --> 00:25:30,98.0320423 When I started out in 2020 was the first time I kinda made a public platform. 265 00:25:30,98.0320423 --> 00:25:41,288.0310423 I had a website and launched group programs, and the first year or two it was really mental health was a big one, depressed, anxiety, pandemic years. 266 00:25:41,318.0310423 --> 00:25:45,238.0320423 Everybody was in a different situation and handled that situation differently. 267 00:25:45,768.0320423 --> 00:25:56,838.0320423 And also a lot of people who were leaning on unhealthy things during those years to self-medicate, that they were wanting support in moving with nature off. 268 00:25:56,918.0300423 --> 00:26:07,428.0300423 but at the time, it took a certain person to kinda seek this out, right? So it was a lot of people who had quite a bit of experience with meditation, with yoga, with spiritual practice under their belt. 269 00:26:08,108.0300423 --> 00:26:11,438.0310423 But since that time, it's so diverse now. 270 00:26:11,448.0300423 --> 00:26:27,308.0310423 So I still see all of those things, but I still—now I see everything from couples wanting to work and microdose together to work on their relationship, emotional skill building, resilience, earth connection, spiritual development, lots of different physical health conditions. 271 00:26:27,378.0340423 --> 00:26:30,128.0330423 Everything from c- I get a lot of seizures, not surprisingly. 272 00:26:30,368.0310423 --> 00:26:49,849.0410423 Nervous system conditions, headaches, but also, TBI, concussions, PTSD, um, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, and autism You know, I, I'd like to come back to the couples piece if you don't mind, just because Sure Harmony and I really are on this journey together. 273 00:26:50,799.0410423 --> 00:27:11,249.0410423 And it seems almost like, especially now having taken, ayahuasca together and, and then DMT, that, there's a kind of a sense of togetherness and a sense of in a p- a particular field of consciousness that a lot of people aren't in. 274 00:27:12,279.0400423 --> 00:27:22,199.0350423 And it's almost like we've, say, converted to Mormonism, together and now we're in this new experience, kinda cult experience. 275 00:27:22,709.0380423 --> 00:27:26,959.0370423 And we've also- shared different cult experiences before together as well. 276 00:27:27,239.0360423 --> 00:27:42,309.0370423 So so interesting 'cause it, not only is there so much opportunity for insight about who we are and why we make the kinds of decisions that we do, but it's also that, we're exploring a different kind of conversation than we've ever had before. 277 00:27:42,809.0320423 --> 00:27:45,899.0350423 Which is so romantic- ...and 278 00:27:45,919.0330423 --> 00:27:59,458.0440423 it's so in- intimate to have, a conversation about the farthest reaches of psychonautical, research, you know? As well as like, well, who's gonna do the fucking laundry today, Absolutely. 279 00:27:59,668.0440423 --> 00:27:59,918.0440423 Yeah. 280 00:27:59,989.0450423 --> 00:28:11,369.0400423 that at all? I'd love to talk about it because I've been seeing it more this year than ev- ever before, and it's just happening very organically and naturally and without intending it, which is always the best way. 281 00:28:11,369.0400423 --> 00:28:21,709.0390423 And I noticed in my group programs that more and more people were saying, "Hey, I'm in this program, but my spouse wants to join me in the microdosing practice," which is amazing. 282 00:28:22,49.0390423 --> 00:28:29,229.0410423 And so they get to have the group experience where attention is on them, and then they get to have their relational experience in their house and carry it forth. 283 00:28:29,229.0410423 --> 00:28:57,189.0420423 So two things that I've seen happen, it's beautiful to watch people growing together because one of the things I would hear a lot, especially in 2020, 2021, is there was this big, It was a portal for everybody, and some people used that portal to grow quickly in their consciousness, in their d- spiritual development, and they often would say to me, "I'm kind of worried because my spouse isn't growing the way I'm growing." 284 00:28:57,559.0400423 --> 00:29:02,969.0400423 And the other sp- and the other spouse was fearful of their spouse changing, and it's like, well, you are gonna change. 285 00:29:02,969.0440423 --> 00:29:07,362.3773756 When you work with psychedelics, you are going to change, right? you can't stop it. 286 00:29:07,382.3713756 --> 00:29:14,122.3753756 And so doing it together is really beautiful because then you're growing together, and you're kind of in the experience together. 287 00:29:14,662.3703756 --> 00:29:29,952.3713756 Also, it's so nice as couples because medicines, especially psilocybin, brings forth aspects of yourself that have been repressed, silenced, buried, and so you get to see these beautiful other sides of a couple. 288 00:29:29,952.3713756 --> 00:29:33,362.3713756 I- there's one couple I work with I'm thinking of right now that they shared their medicine. 289 00:29:33,362.3743756 --> 00:29:46,432.3713756 They were working with the same exact package of medicine, and they're an artist couple, but he's very much kind of the leader, the business brain of the half, very gregarious, very social, very forward. 290 00:29:46,442.3733756 --> 00:29:51,392.3773756 Even when you talk to them, like he's always standing a little bit in front of her, just in their dynamic. 291 00:29:51,932.3713756 --> 00:29:53,792.3723756 And she's the creative. 292 00:29:53,802.3743756 --> 00:29:55,802.3713756 Like, she's the artist, the designer. 293 00:29:55,812.3763756 --> 00:30:00,632.3763756 She loves being in the studio and quiet, and she'd rather not deal with the business people part. 294 00:30:00,642.3703756 --> 00:30:02,202.3663756 She just wants to be in her craft. 295 00:30:02,602.3773756 --> 00:30:05,32.3673756 When they started microdosing,

the Chicago Eight. 419 00:39:08,640.2096123 --> 00:39:15,411.2106123 Like, all those guys were just ridiculous, and, like, that's kind of, the identity of that period Yeah. 420 00:39:15,461.2106123 --> 00:39:18,911.2106123 We're moving into another transit very similarly, interestingly. 421 00:39:18,931.2106123 --> 00:39:28,358.2106123 Astrologically, we're right now entering a transit that patterns, 1965 and 1966 Well, now this conversation can go in a very different direction. 422 00:39:29,728.2106123 --> 00:39:53,758.2096123 I had kind of explained it that way too, and I don't know if it was a, one of our friends who spoke to us about this or where I picked this up, but the, the idea of like when you look at medicine and where it comes from and how it was created, and like the mushrooms grow out of the darkness and they grow in the darkness, and it's It is very, like as you say, it takes you into the depth of your being in some way. 423 00:39:54,58.2096123 --> 00:40:02,838.2076123 But- Whereas- Ergot comes out of the wheat ergot, yeah, and it grows in the light- Mm and it's very- Ergot being the- sunshiny precursor to LSD, yeah. 424 00:40:03,248.2086123 --> 00:40:10,888.2116123 And that was very much, like my own personal- Uh-huh experience with those two medicines too, and, yeah, it was- People laugh so goddamn hard at the sun. 425 00:40:11,893.2116123 --> 00:40:12,743.2116123 Yeah. 426 00:40:12,753.2116123 --> 00:40:13,523.2116123 No, definitely. 427 00:40:13,523.2116123 --> 00:40:14,763.2116123 I found that with Huachuma. 428 00:40:14,773.2116123 --> 00:40:22,768.2106123 When I work with Huachuma, I just wanna be in the sun, outside in the wide-open sky, and it's like, yeah Yeah. 429 00:40:22,768.2106123 --> 00:40:36,438.2126123 And- Like you kind of, i- i- it, you take on sort of the, the frequency of the medicine- Mm-hmm or the, the frequency of the medicine kind of invites you to, become, you know, in, in sync with it in some way. 430 00:40:37,288.2176123 --> 00:40:51,18.2156123 I wanna ask you another question about microdosing, because we're talking about microdosing, but maybe people listening, don't really understand that there's a pattern and a consistency and something behind it. 431 00:40:51,18.2156123 --> 00:40:53,178.2136123 What's the difference? That's, that's the question. 432 00:40:53,178.2186123 --> 00:40:58,545.2186123 What's the difference between doing like a macrodose versus a microdose? Yes. 433 00:40:58,545.2186123 --> 00:41:09,895.2186123 very different and great question, 'cause a lot of people ask, like, "Well, can't you just do this on your own or just take a little bit? Like, does it have to be a structured, formalized thing?" And I think, I mean, yes, you can. 434 00:41:09,895.2186123 --> 00:41:23,655.2176123 I microdosed on my own when I was first starting out and had no idea what I was doing, and still it was great experience, right? But I think when you have structure, just the human mind and

our nature just benefits at the beginning of almost anything. 435 00:41:23,665.2176123 --> 00:41:33,575.2196123 Like, if you start a meditation practice or a yoga practice, doing it consistently every day or at least five days a week at the start to really connect with the practice. 436 00:41:33,605.2176123 --> 00:41:42,225.2186123 Like, once you do a practice over and over and over again, ultimately you become the practice, and you don't really need to sit on the cushion every day to be in that state. 437 00:41:42,265.2176123 --> 00:41:45,715.2186123 You can just shift into that state without doing it. 438 00:41:45,715.2186123 --> 00:41:56,445.2156123 And so that's how ultimately you work with a protocol until you don't need a protocol, and you're connected with the medicine, and you intuitively dose after that. 439 00:41:56,455.2166123 --> 00:42:02,45.2166123 And then ultimately, you can kind of be with the medicine without working with the medicine, if that makes sense. 440 00:42:02,902.2186123 --> 00:42:15,572.2186123 That's so great- Yeah 'cause I was, that's exactly the question I was gonna ask, is that right now we're, uh, in a culture with ayahuasca, and we're exploring this, and we're having great success there. 441 00:42:15,572.2186123 --> 00:42:19,972.2186123 And, and for the, those at home, know that ayahuasca isn't screwing around. 442 00:42:21,32.2186123 --> 00:42:24,962.2196123 It is a, like, very s- it's like taking a heroic dose of psilocybin. 443 00:42:24,962.2196123 --> 00:42:26,962.2186123 That is- It's not a microdose. 444 00:42:26,972.2196123 --> 00:42:27,472.2196123 It is not a microdose. 445 00:42:27,482.2196123 --> 00:42:31,132.2176123 Although I have heard that people have microdosed ayahuasca. 446 00:42:31,132.2176123 --> 00:42:37,402.2166123 But it's like, you know, a five It's like the five to eight range, maybe even a bit more, of grams of mushrooms. 447 00:42:37,422.2186123 --> 00:42:38,542.2156123 that was in my experience. 448 00:42:39,62.2176123 --> 00:42:47,412.2146123 So I'm having great success there, h- a- and great evolution and real insight. 449 00:42:47,442.2116123 --> 00:42:52,322.2146123 And at a certain point, I wonder, like, "Well, when am I gonna stop doing this?" Yeah. 450 00:42:52,322.2146123 --> 00:42:55,572.2126123 Well, it's not something you're gonna do every week, either- Well, no typically. 451 00:42:55,612.2136123 --> 00:42:55,752.2116123 no. 452 00:42:55,852.2136123 --> 00:42:56,712.2116123 People do. 453 00:42:56,972.2126123 --> 00:43:00,992.2136123 But, you know, ayahuasceros in Peru do take it three to, three times a week. 454 00:43:00,992.2136123 --> 00:43:16,15.2116123 But, you know, I'm, I'm looking at it, like, three times a year, and like, am I gonna do this the rest of my life? I feel like I'm getting great insight out of it, but, like, at what point am I just, as you were saying, just able to just ride the bicycle by myself? Yeah. 455 00:43:16,855.2116123 --> 00:43:17,735.2116123 Exactly. 456 00:43:17,785.2116123 --> 00:43:36,295.2106123 Yeah, I mean, I think part of the, your success with it today is because you've had a long runway of working with the medicines leading up to, and so that supports you in your high-dose experiences later, and that's my hope for people now that, like, more of the masses and the mainstream are coming to psychedelic practice. 457 00:43:36,815.2106123 --> 00:43:45,725.2106123 I think for 99% of people, like, starting with microdosing is the best way to go because you can slowly, subtly get into relationship with the medicine. 458 00:43:45,725.2106123 --> 00:44:07,525.2066123 You're not gonna s- open up a Pandora's box with a whole bunch of big truth that you are not ready for, that you're not resourced for, and then the more that you lay a foundation, the more you're hopefully gonna have a really beautiful experience that you can navigate skillfully and move through liminal states and also integrate what you're receiving in that journey. 459 00:44:08,800.2076123 --> 00:44:09,780.2076123 I completely agree with you. 460 00:44:09,780.2076123 --> 00:44:29,500.2066123 I think for 90% of the people, just getting out of a depressive, pattern with, with microdosing and not even, you know, seeing funny lights or having a giggle, but just like, "Oh, I don't feel bad anymore, and I don't feel like I need to have a drink at the end of the night or a bottle at the end of the night to get me through to tomorrow." 461 00:44:31,945.2076123 --> 00:44:32,435.2076123 Yes. 462 00:44:32,765.2076123 --> 00:44:33,535.2076123 I love it. 463 00:44:33,555.2076123 --> 00:44:35,915.2076123 I had to be microdosing. 464 00:44:35,915.2076123 --> 00:44:42,974.2076123 It's kind of a Trojan horse for like shifting your entire mindset around the way we heal, Yeah. 465 00:44:43,35.2076123 --> 00:44:52,725.2076123 we're so conditioned by the pharmaceutical models that we need to do this thing external to ourselves before we can be complete, before we can heal. 466 00:44:53,245.2066123 --> 00:45:04,85.2056123 And microdosing really, because it's so new to people, it's an experience most people haven't ever felt before, it's an opportunity to realize like you're doing the healing. 467 00:45:04,834.2076123 --> 00:45:05,84.2076123 Mm-hmm. 468 00:45:05,155.2066123 --> 00:45:06,855.2056123 You're innately doing the healing. 469 00:45:06,855.2076123 --> 00:45:09,825.2066123 And so when I stopped, to use myself as an example, I... 470 00:45:09,845.2056123 --> 00:45:15,935.2076123 When I stopped microdosing, I was like, "Are my seizures gonna come back? Are they gonna come back?" And they've never come back. 471 00:45:16,335.2066123 --> 00:45:19,135.2056123 And I'll go long, long periods of time without microdosing. 472 00:45:19,135.2066123 --> 00:45:24,365.2046123 And many clients since then I've seen it really, it's your own healing. 473 00:45:24,655.2056123 --> 00:46:08,122.2056123 It's just

Earth helps you give you that, that assist that you need to reset yourself so that your body can just do what it does and heal Yeah, I think that's like a really profound what you're saying, and probably a question that maybe someone's thinking is like, what is, you know, isn't this just like, you know, we say that it's sort of different than pharmaceuticals, but when you're microdosing, say you're taking a microdose and then, you know, say a typical schedule of, three days rest and then taking a microdose and then three days rest, maybe you're doing that for a month and then you're taking a week or two off and then starting again the protocol. 474 00:46:08,142.2036123 --> 00:46:18,495.2056123 So when you're having this protocol, like what makes it different than like a pharmaceutical drug where it's sort of like you're on it for the rest of your life? Yes. 475 00:46:18,835.2056123 --> 00:46:34,445.2056123 I think that's happening more, that decondition is, we're needing more of that now as more and more people coming to it because it's being presented as an apples to apples alternative to antidepressants often, is just swap this out when the way it works is so completely different. 476 00:46:34,455.2056123 --> 00:46:45,375.2046123 And as soon as you step into practice, you know that instead of antidepressants numb you and take you further away from yourself, whereas psilocybin brings you straight home to yourself. 477 00:46:45,375.2046123 --> 00:47:06,635.2026123 It can be very uncomfortable if you were expecting not to feel or just to or just to feel happier, because oftentimes if you haven't worked with psychedelics before, you need to move through layers of fatigue, malaise, grief, irritability, crankiness, anger until you get to that new set point. 478 00:47:06,645.2046123 --> 00:47:09,595.2026123 So it's, it just works entirely different. 479 00:47:09,865.2026123 --> 00:47:34,56.8722789 And so it's important to have a guide or a facilitator to help you educate that you're not doing it wrong, and this is just things coming up for release to enable you to get to a new natural set point I think that's so important because I think sometimes, especially if people haven't, you know, microdosed or taken psychedelics before, they think, "Oh, I'm just gonna laugh and have a good time," or, "I'm just gonna automatically feel happy." 480 00:47:34,486.8732789 --> 00:47:38,106.8722789 But I mean- But you're lying there just sobbing- Yeah. 481 00:47:38,606.8722789 --> 00:47:40,256.8722789 and feeling great about it. 482 00:47:40,821.8732789 --> 00:47:41,956.8732789 Yes Yeah. 483 00:47:42,6.8732789 --> 00:47:55,373.5399456 Yeah, like one of the first times I remember taking psilocybin, I was just like, like really like going through in my mind and feeling all of these things that I hadn't cried about, and just like cri- like sobbing. 484 00:47:55,383.5389456 --> 00:47:55,413.5389456 Yeah, yeah. 485 00:47:55,413.5389456 --> 00:47:57,363.5399456

Like, hardcore crying. 486 00:47:57,643.5409456 --> 00:47:58,693.5399456 And it feels so good. 487 00:47:58,693.5399456 --> 00:48:08,533.5399456 And I was just like, "Oh my gosh, this feels so good- Yeah to be just like really feeling how hurtful this all was," you know? Whatever. 488 00:48:10,763.5399456 --> 00:48:15,33.5379456 And then it's like it's such a profound cathartic release. 489 00:48:15,463.5399456 --> 00:48:19,493.5389456 But you don't automatically necessarily just like avoid the suffering. 490 00:48:19,493.5389456 --> 00:48:21,963.5389456 You kinda get to go deep into it. 491 00:48:22,3.5379456 --> 00:48:27,843.5359456 Like your, like your s- like our sister-in-law said to us, like, "Look, I don't wanna have an un-fun time." 492 00:48:28,863.5379456 --> 00:48:30,73.5349456 That's why she doesn't do psychedelics. 493 00:48:31,463.5349456 --> 00:48:33,621.0339456 It's like, no, it's really great insight." 494 00:48:33,811.0369456 --> 00:48:35,231.0379456 But it's like it's not fun. 495 00:48:35,231.0379456 --> 00:48:36,981.0349456 It's like, "Well, I don't wanna have un-fun." 496 00:48:40,170.0369456 --> 00:48:49,570.0369456 It's funny, when I talk to people in the space sometimes, especially the researchers and the clinicians, and I was with a, a whole bunch of psychiatrists one night and asked... 497 00:48:49,570.0369456 --> 00:48:58,540.0369456 We were going around saying what is our favorite psychedelic and our least favorite psychedelic, and psilocybin, psilocybin was their least favorite of all of them, of all the MDs. 498 00:48:58,540.0369456 --> 00:49:06,90.0359456 And when I asked them why that is, an un-fun they don't wanna have an un-fun time Nailed it. 499 00:49:06,360.0359456 --> 00:49:07,971.0369456 Yeah That's hilarious. 500 00:49:07,971.0369456 --> 00:49:10,101.0369456 And- That's funny- Oh 'cause I'm with you. 501 00:49:10,111.0369456 --> 00:49:12,21.0369456 That's like my fa- that's like my baby. 502 00:49:12,31.0369456 --> 00:49:12,301.0369456 Yeah. 503 00:49:12,341.0369456 --> 00:49:22,921.0369456 If you could give us a Friday afternoon and maybe, and, you know, we've had a little bit of a fast, and we wrap ourselves up in a blanket and just hug each other for about five hours. 504 00:49:23,491.0359456 --> 00:49:26,201.0369456 What an un-fun time it sounds like. 505 00:49:26,631.0369456 --> 00:49:27,741.0369456 But amazing. 506 00:49:27,751.0359456 --> 00:49:36,711.0369456 Amazingly transformative, and you come out of it with so much gratitude for the earth- and gratitude for your family, and gratitude for the, your trip sitters, these two little poodles that we have. 507 00:49:37,491.0359456 --> 00:49:39,507.7016123 You know, that's a great date for us. 508 00:49:39,697.7036123 --> 00:49:40,647.7036123 Great date. 509 00:49:42,107.7036123 --> 00:49:48,897.7016123 If someone's curious, where do you start with them?

But I'm really assessing, um, how resourced they are, like what is the 360 of their life and their circumstances, because all of that... 513 00:50:13,143.3702789 --> 00:50:25,623.3702789 The pharmaceutical model thinks like you're just a brain floating around in the universe, separate from all of your experiences And so I like to hear all of the factors that are in somebody else's life. 514 00:50:25,653.3682789 --> 00:50:36,973.3682789 And another thing I love to ask people that I think working with psilocybin, it's very telling, is trying to get a handle on how much fear somebody has in their body. 515 00:50:37,823.3672789 --> 00:50:44,773.3662789 That's a big determining factor, not only in dosing, but how they're experiencing it, how their experience is gonna go. 516 00:50:45,93.3672789 --> 00:50:50,463.3662789 I find people a lot of times are summoned to psilocybin almost in spite of themselves. 517 00:50:50,743.3692789 --> 00:50:52,883.3682789 They're like, "I, I put it off and it keeps coming. 518 00:50:52,883.3682789 --> 00:50:55,213.3672789 I keep hearing about it, and I keep getting called to it." 519 00:50:55,713.3662789 --> 00:51:08,723.3692789 And there's a, a readiness to someone's soul when they're ready to really step into that work, and so they tend to have a courage in them that's kind of bigger than their fear or their hesitancy. 520 00:51:09,93.3712789 --> 00:51:10,983.3712789 But I find it, it can be... 521 00:51:11,663.3712789 --> 00:51:22,253.3632789 Mm, it's a good gauge for if somebody's going to, run a little bit from the experience into their mind or into the external world. 522 00:51:22,523.3652789 --> 00:51:22,953.3652789 Yeah. 523 00:51:22,962.3642789 --> 00:51:23,112.3642789 Yeah. 524 00:51:23,182.3642789 --> 00:51:32,921.3642789 That's also- What's a sign of that?
