      The last few weeks have been really hard for me too mentally. I've had pretty bad anxiety and ocd my whole life. But lately it's also been resulting in depression. I have been meditating and learning to let the obtrusive thoughts pass. Also working on my perception of God. Judging myself less and knowing that whatever happens we will be okay. Also this video brought me so much peace!!

    Jon… I wish you to know I recently played “Sit Around The Fire” with the graphic video projected on a huge panoramic screen at the funeral for my dearest friend who passed away from pancreatic cancer.. he was a musician of great talent…the screen was above his casket with surround speakers at each corner of the church…. Everyone, and I mean everyone was brought instantly to tears… when it was over all you could hear was weeping and sobbing… then applause and jubilation… it was BEAUTIFUL … thank you Jon, thank you! ❤

    My wife and I just got married this summer. We had a big psychedelic gathering of friends and family over the course of two days in the middle of nowhere. The theme we chose for our wedding as well as the quote that is engraved in our wedding rings became "quiet the mind, open the heart". It's been resonating with us ever since this album came out and it will stay with us forever. Thank you Jon Hopkins for this. For making this healing tool, for honoring Ram Dass, and for helping people understand the healing powers of psychedelics

    When I was leaving the armed forces after serving 4 tours, two in war. I was a broken scared angry man. I would try and hide away. I had this scruffy old laptop and used it to stream TH-cam. I found this mad scientist of sensational music and sound. I've lost myself in these wonderful symphonies of emotion and energy. They have helped me heal. Over the years I've enjoyed them so much. But this is by far the most beautiful peice of harmony I've ever heard ❤ thank you Jon Hopkins 😊

    I can truly write that psychedelics and especially mushrooms changed a lot in me. It was like first step in huge transformation of myself. The beggining of the process to understand a lot of aspects connetced to "spiriuatlity". I believe that this album could be small step to help other people understand what psychodelics really are. Now due to their illegal status many thinks its like heroine or other hard drugs and its hard to accept... I hope that one day we will be able to use psychodelics legally and many people will benefits from using them. Can't wait for the album!

    I had just left my father who in reality we have had a rocky life relationship. He was very sick and even though we hadn’t talked in years I was compelled to go help him. We spent the day together laughing and actually had to take him to the hospital. He is fine and on the way home in the pouring rain this gem finds me! A voice whispered in my ear, let it go! Forgive him! Life is so much easier when you choose to surrender and accept that we are all doing the best we can! Love often, forgive often! ❤

    Back in 1976 I found the book Be Here Now, left by someone in a youth hostel in Scotland - by the lake Loch Ossian. Read it there and was deeply touched - and ever since that Ram Dass teachings has been a part of my life, together with various forms of traditional Buddhism. Used to order cassette tapes from Hanuman Foundation in CA... Thank you for this beautiful inspiring presentation 🙏❤️

    I am one of those people who'd almost never cry, and would only do so when I was around that one specific close friend, who I knew would have my back at any given moment.
    Yesterday,
    I went to work (as a newpaper delivery guy) after having skipped work for the third time this month, either because I've been slacking off because of smoking weed, or because I felt horrible due to my own inner demons, which only made me smoke even more weed.
    Every time I skipped, I didn't contact the company out of sheer shame and misery, which obviously is terrible. I'm surprised they still have me hired.
    When I had thrown the last pile of last weeks newspapers in the trash, gotten a few weird looks from pedestrians, and got this week's papers on my scooter, I went on Spotify to see if something could help wind me down, and *this* song came up.
    I shrugged in discouragement and anguish and pressed play.
    At this very moment, I was on the brink of breakdown.
    I figured I'd take an extra break to regain my senses, the song was playing in,
    and then boom. *He* just started talking to me.
    Me, and my inner demons.
    He didn't try to distract me with something else, he just sat there and recognized my hardships, and guided me slowly, softly towards improving my current mental state. He succeeded. The rest of the day were only to get better.
    ------
    Today,
    I was hanging out with that one close friend who I knew would have my back at any given moment.
    Another friend who have a boyfriend who had done something terrible and traumatizing, and had vented to me on Discord, on the brink of terrible stress and anguish, and I just remembered this song.
    I talked about yesterday and how this song helped me through it, and I linked it to her. One sentence she wrote after she heard it stood out to me:
    "The melodies are calming my nerves and converting the annoying feeling into almost like field of wheat"
    I'm glad I could help calm her down, as it had calmed me down in my time of need yesterday.
    I put the song on to show my close friend, and when I heard *his* voice again, I instantly started tearing up, and started crying, hugging tightly to my close friend.
    I am one of those people who'd almost never cry, but this song, could make me do just that.
    ------
    Thank you so much, Jon Hopkins, Ram Dess, and East Forest.
    I hope this long anecdote can help describe how much it helped me, and possibly others in their time of need.

    I don't expect Jon Hopkins to read or respond to messages on TH-cam but want the world to know how grateful I am for his music, and guiding me through my own darkness.

    2017 Envision Festival, teahouse. Found the book Be Here Now on the ground and it looked somehow antique and mysterious.

When listening this, I relived that feeling. Thank you for transporting me into the jungle of infinite love💖
