I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 7 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms.Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,
Every time I trip I learn something new. It doesnt take me anywhere, it simply decontructs all of the social systems that we've been forced into. It makes me realize the immense amount of horseshit we impose on ourselves and each other. It's not the lack of things, it's the manipulative quality of the extra crap we pile on to things that aren't broken. You will learn to appreciate your arm hair. Your cat, your bed. Your relationships and that some doors are to be closed and others opened. Do it.
I’ve tripped shrooms and lsd. Never liked lsd but always enjoy shrooms. Been thinking of trying dmt/ayah for years to learn about myself more deeply but I’ve hesitated bc I’ve had some pretty bad experiences on lsd. I’m deeply thoughtful ab things to a fault so I’m timid ab going deeper than I want. Do you recommend one or the other between dmt or ayah?
@@commentgod585 I recommend you grow up and go get a career and a life and leave these "entities" for the other losers that have nothing going for them.
I've experienced the exact same thing.. was depressed as a teenager after reading and comprehending the history of the world.. wanted the Truth or Death. After tripping many times and wearing the ego thin, finally experienced the "sky being torn open" and an overwhelming experience of wisdom and love coming from what I can only describe as God. It told me that it is was great that I finally got here and reconciled apparent opposites.. false dualities if you will. Then it said "now can you come find me sober"? Woke up the next day and the journey began.. I've not succeeded yet, but at least I know there's a goal and infinite love to support you on the way. Gives you a kind of fortitude that I didn't have before for life's ups and downs..
I think god, the one you spoke to Umm i think god lives in our consciousness or collective conscious. He represents objective truth, reason and love and i believe hes been always with us its just that the persut of material heavily clouds our connection to god... i know it sounds crazy but its why people say "its like explaining a new color"
@@chepeman22810 I completely agree. My dad told me when I was a young boy that our Conscious is God talking to us. But that its our choice to listen to him or ignore him. I believe that because why when we are about to do something wrong or bad or Conscious appears and tells us that what we are doing is wrong and shouldnt but we either continue on with it or listen and not do it. The choice is yours but I honestly think thats 1 of many ways of how God communicates with us.
I had an almost exact experience with a really big dose of psilocybin mushrooms. Words simply cannot explain. It’s like trying to describe a color to someone who is colorblind.
@@bigsleepy9889 I had an almost exact experience with a really big dose of liquor. Words simply cannot explain. It’s like trying to describe a color to someone who is colorblind.
Same. But weed was actually gave a stronger feeling of “there’s more to reality”. Psilocybin felt like a always silent guardian/mentor finally given the chance to speak
In My first trip , I saw my father who has passed away 2 years prior. I tried to hug him but he smiled and walk away then disappeared in a cloud of red smoke. I didn’t feel sad ( I should have been ) instead , I felt a profound inner peace like I knew he was in a better place.
@@firebush1343 I thoroughly enjoyed his books while in prison. Also a know it all is the most ignorant person in the world, those who know enough to know they know nothing, are much wiser.
I did Ayahuasca. I did not feel like there was something outside myself communicating to me, probably because I wasn't predisposed to that since I did not use it in a ritualistic context and I am not a religious person. What I believe it does is remove a layer, or possibly a barrier, in your consciousness and allows you to look and even express yourself with a degree of honesty and awareness that you do not experience otherwise. If you use that moment to reflect upon yourself, surely you'll draw conclusions and understandings that are enabled by this state of mind.
I’m not predisposed at all but was one the most logical realist extreme agnostics around. Until my fourth aya ceremony where had Creator / Source in me. Know there’s a Creator. Not the God of the Bible but a loving nonjudgmental Source of everything. Took me quite a while to process it without feeling cray since was soooo anti religion I’m still not religious but very spiritual. Source animates us all , everything. We are One.
I live in Brazil where Ayahuasca is far more "commum" in many circles. It can go in many directions and many many times the experience of people is similar to the one described by Dan in this clip. As for me, I can certainly say it transformed the whole course of my life.
@@robmccabe9017in many ways, some of which can be put into words and some that cannot. The felt sense of what is the "world" or what is to be "alive" was dramatically changed and boosted in a way that my conceptual mind - which was really stiff - began to crack.... My bodily senses and my direct interaction with the living events started growing in strength and clarity. I was stuck in books and wasn't able to break through the hard coverrs. I was squeezed without knowing the how of it. Trying and trying hard to fit in the "official" narratives and practices. I used to feel a volcano within but there was a much massive mountain on top of me. Ayahuasca triggered a sort of implosion in that mountain lid.... magma burst through... If couse i could not integrate all of it at once. There was a lot of work to be done after that but the newly revealed world was undiniable. The impact was huge and went on to study what it was all about, wirh diferent shamans from Peru, Colômbia and Brazil. Lots and lots happened. Spiritual journeys, New atitude for work, more creatvity in artistic expression... and much more. Thats it, Rob, maybe these words convey a little bit of what it all was and is. Thanks for asking
Very close to that with shrooms. Felt like "I figured it all out." Shed many fears. And watched a big part of my ego wither away. Everyone should try it at least once.
@@dealwolfstriked272 A person with no ego would never state openly "I have no ego", at least not in this particular context as you are doing it. A person with no ego just wouldn't be interested in such a bravado. Still, it is perfectly fine for anybody to have a fully functioning ego cause in any other case you wouldn't be able to function in this material dimension. A quality psychedelic experience will point to you, or it will make you conscious that you have an ego. It will make you clear that there is something in you that can be labeled as your ego, and there is another aspect of you that is able to witness the ego, which is usually a radically new, awesome, and mind-blowing experience. Or should we say a mind-bending experience? Sometimes some people are for various reasons unable to relax during the psychedelic experience, which is usually a sign that the ego doesn't allow to be put on the spot just like that. In that case, a good psychedelic will slap the ego hard and that person will have an experience of ego-death. That doesn't mean that ego really died. It means that it got temporarily smaller and traumatized cause it didn't use to be out in the open and out of control.
@Sharks WHO HERE HAS THE SMALLEST EGO PLEASE STAND UP. BTW I MIGHT BE EATING SOME EGGO'S TOMORROW MORNING FOR BREAKFAST. AND I WILL BE SITTING DOWN. JUST FYI.
I’ve been fortunate enough to drink ayahuasca about ten times. It’s a game changer! And although other psychedelics hold a lot of the same power, the culture and ceremony that comes with drinking ayahuasca is what makes it what it is. Not to say one has to indulge in all the indigenous rites and rituals...but the aspect of sitting in a group setting with a guide who offers the support to your journey is, for me, what sets it apart from taking other psychedelics in a typical western approach. Highly recommended.
@@mike0nabike there’s charlatans on every corner, so the fact that you’re asking for safe and authentic is a pretty good start😊 I live in Northern California, and I was just fortunate enough to find an amazing group of people who were a generation older than me, mostly women, all westerners, but really experienced with ayahuasca. Thinking about it tho as I’m writing this, there’s a lot of amazement that I was able to find such an authentic setting. Knowing how everything is exploited and commodified these days, I imagine it’s pretty difficult to find that out in the world. Good luck tho! It’s worth the effort.
About what Lex is saying, yes there is hubris about these ultimate questions on the nature of mind, consciousness, etc., but to me that is mostly coming from those who are more on the academic and materialistic side of the inquiry. I think there have definitely been many who have realized and experienced the true nature of the mind, consciousness, reality, Self. It's not hubris to think that it is possible to experience this, rather I think it is literally our very nature and essence. We are That. For anyone with an open mind, there is more than enough evidence out there that this experiential knowledge exists.
I can give you contact info for a guy that specializes in addiction treatment, which PTSD is often the root of. It’s ibogaine and toad DMT. You need a healthy heart to do ibogaine, but it’s worth it.
I've done Ayahuasca once and the stress of anwser the phone imediatly when it rings just disapeared. I'm not aware of other changes in me ... but that type of anxiety I don't have it anymore. Also I was with a friend there and we had a vision , the same vision, it was like a native old man from Amazonia . Amazing!
It appears that Ayahuasca is a product of the 500 million year old plant kingdom, that has had the time to evolve spiritually intelligent to an extraordinary high level.
There is no evidence for evolution. Nothing has ever spontaneously changed into another living thing in its life time, or been born other than what it's parent is, thus evolution is disproven. however there is Very intelligent design to everything, these plants included.
The telepathy that he talks towards the end happened to me every time I tripped on acid. Eventually I understood that high consciousness states bring out dimensions & abilities of your mind that don't make sense to us in our default state.
I tried to create a "language" with rivers and eddys to try to explain to my sober self how my thinking works one time when I was on acid. I just couldn't see all the pieces at one time when I was sober so the "language" I took time to teach myself was mostly useless to my sober self unfortunately. Its like I had to be able to "see" more connections at once for the language to retain its utility. A narrower focus is why we can't retain the "understanding" we have when on psychedelics. That's what I think I learned anyway.
Man he nailed exactly how the experience feels........ there's so much unusual and fundamental information received when you go through the experience that to me it most definitely felt the information is being sent from elsewhere as opposed to created from within....... Another experience I had...... I was staying in a bed and breakfast at the time.... there was a guy who lived there, I didn’t speak to him or interact with him except for to say hello in passing.... for a few days during my experimentation I kept receiving visions of a motorbike...... later that week this guy pulled up outside the b and b with 2 motorbikes in back of his van....... for the guy who was also staying at the b and b.....
“very convincing” and that fidgety shift in his chair really resonated with me. I can feel how profound this experience was for him. Very interesting to hear his story. Color me fascinated.
I remember the first time when i've smoked DMT. It was my first experience with it and it was at its purest form. Short time action ( around 10 mins or so...) but, I had THE so talked about breakthrough. It took me just that one first time to change my perception and believes about reality, God, space and time... Ps: Getting my shit tighter to go to an Ayahuasca ceremony.
And then what? You pretended you know everything and had a massive ego trip and a talking point LOL. Go get a career my man, provide for your family, this is worth alot more than you trippin for 10min and believing you have the secrets of the universe lmaooo
@@WindRipples- careers are going the way of horse and cart ! But nothing is as mind-blowing as your own babies teaching you how to be a good parent... I think aya shows your what makes you dark and it's good to get that dark shit tidied up, before you have children ! The mind is a fragile mystery. Preparation, context and trust , are very important. Psychedelics can make minds and break them, utterly!
This sounded very similar to my first successful LSD trip where I peeled the onion of the reality I constructed and was left with just the truth. I came out being able to let go of the semantics of grievances and sort of had the same recollection in which everyone is doing the best they could with what they had or knew.
One way to look at it... while the LSD experience is profound and beneficial. It is still a synthetic dose. The Aya experience contains the spirit inherent in the liana vine stem and bark. The same goes for psilocybin and peyote and their inherent 'teachers' residing in the plant.
I remember entering a sort of void, then having a 2 way conversation with a female entity or spirit. Then my spirit or essence was floating through the cosmos. After this I had feelings of meeting god, then I became god. I saw images of things that happened before I was born or when i was a baby, that I forgot. It was raw data that was very hard to process. A profound experience that words cannot do justice for. We do not have words to describe it. I pretty much quit alcohol after.
If this gives you any peace I've been deas before and this is similar to my process of becoming one with God and than reborn into my body in the hospital. As I woke up, I experienced everything in my life leading up to me waking up(including my catheter being removed...) in what seemed like one moment in a state of mind that could somehow comprehend ir all. Then, as If to remind me, I had a repeat of it the day I got out of the hospital
in the fall of 2000..I had a friend who had a huge pyshcadelic experience and claimed he was given 3 choices.. to live, to live, or to hate. literally the same thing
I'm very grateful for my psilocybin and ayahuasca experiences. Those were lifechanging moments, but I think it's important to say that there is still risk of serious injury. I was schizophrenic for almost a year after doing HEROIC DOSAGE. Not everyone has luxury to go AWOL for a year. And even years later, I still get HPPD(Hallucinogenic Persisting Perception Disorder). So yeah, there's still cost to this.
LOL at this terrible ass experience. You lot need to go out and get careers and a family and be normal people. You cracked me up at the cost being schizo for a year hahahahaha, what a tosser
Thank you for saying this. I had a similar experience with experimenting with psychedelics. I was well read and knew a lot about what I was taking, and how to have a good experience. I travelled to Peru when I was 24 for an Ayahuasca journey. I can't say it led to my mental health issues, but I don't think it helped. I was experimenting and taking risks because I was desperate, I was depressed and didn't know how to get out, so I had this illusion that psychedelics could heal me and set me straight again. But this didn't happen. Not all stories are positive and beneficial. About a year later I spent several weeks in a mental hospital back in my home town. It was bad.. not sure what else to say. To those reading, just be careful out there and reach out to those around you and have a good support system before dabbling in these things. I'm healthier now at 30 than I ever have been, due to reconnecting with people and everyday life. Too much travelling and crazy experiences when you're young can sometimes be destabilising rather than a route to 'finding yourself'. /End of story :)
Some people are boarder-line schizophrenics who could live a lifetime without it being activated. However, it is thought that some pharmaceutical drugs and some plants could turn on/precipitate/activate the gene responsible for breaking this border-line and activating the once dormant schizophrenia.
@@johngolden8549 Schizophrenia, I'm not sure, you could be right. But I think at the moment the research shows a huge variety of genes could be involved in the disorder. There is a researcher in the UK that is on the cutting edge of that research. Whether it is the drugs activating different genes or maybe the added stress to the body and mind from a disturbing experience that tips vulnerable people over the edge, I don't know. But desperate people don't really listen to warnings anyway because they are desperate and will try anything. I think I could only recommend these journeys to young people now if they were to do it with a trained professional, like a psychologist, as part of a program. I think they need to be utilised in a long term supportive relationship to reduce likelihood of harm.
He is right in thinking it was a separate intelligence. Psychedelics give us direct access to intelligence far greater then that of humans. It's not from the subconscious. Our ego's like to think we are the most intelligent things in the universe but we are not. Not even close!
Im 52 & have done my fair share of partying & substances over the years etc. In the recent decade great insights have come from the pure mdma I did a couple of handful of times. Too much of anything is no good. Daily 20 minute meditation has been the most valuable in terms of understanding life & a better daily, more loving synchronistic flowy experience. Just stopping, slowing breath, letting go & observing. Words & thought disappear & imagery & knowing takes over. What I've learnt is we're definately all connected & one. The daily physical experience is definately illusionary somewhat with deeper dynsmics at play. All problems stem from our individual & collective urge to control our experience tho we're programmed to do so from the time we open our eyes. Two basic rules apply & are key to most things 1.Treat others (all sentient beings) the way you would like to be treated. 2. Actions speak louder than words. There's deepness & meaning I feel which is very hard to put into words. Eat plant based, stretch regularly, fast regularly, stay lean, exercise, meditate daily. Find peace & master yourself & it will be mirrored to your relationship with others & your daily experience.
the best way to describe dmt is its the most terrifyingly beautiful thing you'll ever experience.. human language can't even scratch the surface of beginning to describe the experience
@@mihaiflorea3667 extremely hard to describe.. but what I think happens is your able to travel thru different dimensions.. it shows you the secrets to the universe
This is how I feel every time I ingest marijuana (edible) and there’s actually dmt releases when consuming marijuana this way. But I’m 3 weeks I do my first ayahuasca trip - 3 day experience 3 ingestions total. Wish me luck.
Relate very much to the statement that it's hard to speak with others who haven't experienced a spirital awakening. I haven't done ayahuasca, but did have a kundalini awakening which was intense. Had visions, telepathy, etc. I know I sounded crazy to people who hadn't experienced anything similar! 😅

I have a very unic experience with ayahuasca because i drink it in the forest only with my friend. He buy from a local cult (i live in Brazil) and i prepared myself a week meditating, eating fruits etc.. Was a beautiful day and the experience was amazing i fell like i was experiencing the reality for the first time and see a lot of entetitys. The leson that i learn from that day is that i have a lot of bad habits and only when i control those habits i will reach something in life (still fighting to these days) but what a experience, recomend for everybory less for the people who have historical schyzofrenia in family
NEVER IN MY LIFE expected that I’d have 100x more appreciation for the guy from imagine dragons take on hallucinogens- oh wait… saying this makes me realize that it makes complete sense- can’t stand how Harris postures himself as this fountain of wisdom based on pure speculation
@@trip4923 I'm talking about Harris, this if you have a problem with that.. take it on the arches- if you wanna follow that, go ahead... sounds like YOU are talking about Harris now.
I think Aya gives you full access to your subconscious mind. It feels "other" to you because it is. "You" are a high-level construct of the conscious ego. The truth is not external, it is inside all of us, we just have to learn how to access it.
From my experience/experimentation, I believe psychedelics/mediation/sound frequencies breaks down the barrier between our conscious and subconscious mind, allowing our conscious mind to experience our sub conscious thoughts, feelings and memories..... however I also believe, in our subconscious mind we can access the universal consciousness...... One of my first truly breakthrough experiences, during my own experimentation was this..... the words/feeling/communication I was experiencing, felt as if they were coming from someone/something/somewhere else....... """"" Hey we've been waiting for you....... don't be scared...... don't be scared....... your family is here with us..... you don't really know him well, but he's family, he's family...... it's (then proceeded to tell me a name) he's safe, he's here with us, he's your family don't worry, he's with us"""" 3 days later I was with my mum and we were talking about our family and I was asking if any of my older family members had caught or been effected by c v..... at first she said no.... then after a short pause she said her cousin..... with the same name I had heard/felt/experienced 3 days before had been in a coma for 4 days with pneumonia and died the day after my experience......... I was gobsmacked and instantly began to feel an incredibly sadness this was one of the most profound experiences of my life......... I had only ever met the man a few times and never really seen him or his family in my day to day life or on social media as I only use this......... there had been no mention from anyone or way of me knowing about his predicament in the weeks prior. I was a hard-core atheist before this....... now I have a new found sense of........ enlightenment amazement, fascination and desire to discover the world to which is there but we cannot see or experience, not in our normal state anyway. Peace, power and freedom to all the psychonautics out there.......
No, it's a separate, discarnate intelligence that you experience on DMT/aya. I'm 100% positive because I've been there myself many times. Read "The Cosmic Serpent" by Narby.
@@adamhurter6454 I've also done Aya and Bufo. It is not a separate intelligence because we are all one consciousness. The experience of 'self' and 'other' is a temporary illusion.
What a great clip, and a great interview overall, wow. There really are no words to convey, we can try, and we all do, and the people we talk to about it want to know more! I remember after my first time, seeing artwork that was made by very talented artists that went through their own journey, and all of a sudden recognizing what they were attempting to depict, and realizing that no matter how great it was, it falls short of the real thing I also agree on how terrifying it can be, after my first time, I just wanted to fly home, I was so scared of doing it again, but I’m glad I did because it only got better But I do agree it’s a giant decision for anyone, once you flip that switch, it’s never truly flipped off, even years after your last experience. Thank you Lex and thank you Dan for this brutally honest and compelling interview. Best of luck to you both:)
Wow so you saw artwork and fucked up your senses forever? How cool hahaha. I mean think about it, what's the ultimate goal? Being like the Shaman? That has done it so many times and now looks like a ninja turtle and have the focus of a gold fish? Ya'll need to grow up.
Speaking from very extensive experience with Aya (daily/near daily for 4 years straight), there's a lot of people commenting here who need a deeper understanding about Ayahuasca, even if they've experienced it, things go much, much deeper, i assure you. It's not what the general public thinks, and Psychedelics/Entheogens in themselves are highly misunderstood tools. All i can say is thoroughly study the subject, in depth, don't jump to conclusions, truly try to understand.
But no one quantifies that statement. It goes deeper, but nothing but the surface ever gets expressed. No deeper truths than can already be found in art and literature get exposed.
@@silencemeviolateme6076 - Lol, there is nothing to say, there are only things to experience directly and to realize/understand. If you don't wanna risk it to get the biscuit, that's on you my friend lol.
8:37 Many people have similar experiences and I feel like at that point the boundary between what is "yourself" and "your unconscious" and "God" become extremely blurry and it doesn't even make sense anymore to distinguise between it
Wisdom and order is an entity unlike anything humans can understand. We only can grasp at a small part or percentage of what is this true "full" entity.
Ive done it extensively for the last 8 or 9 years. What he is saying is so true. It's like you experience time differently. When you are on Ayahuasca it is more real regular life.
If you can be bothered to focus on your breathing for at least 3 hrs a day you will have the same experience. It's possible to connect with this feeling as it comes from within your own brain. When you hit the buffers in life you have a few options this substance is certainly one but believe in yourself It's not Rocket Science.
@@Pimpjit85 Thank you for replying to my comment. I am a child of the 70's that lived in a small English village. In the autumn the magic mushrooms used to grow and we would eat them. In my 40's like many people I cracked up. 10 yrs on I have got a grip of things. I seriously believe the effect of breathing combined with the right diet and exercise opens up something in ones brain. The vision within my self is very close to the magic mushroom trips. I fear for people that see the use of these substances as a short cut to a better place . Thank you again for challenging me and giving small platform from which I speak. Dare to look into yourself without any stimulation apart from your own mind and body
@@darringodden7225 thanks for sharing that. It's a fair point. Especially your comment about the shortcut. I think many are using these to escape reality rather then to use them as tools to unlock truths about reality. And for those lucky enough to experience truths, they're simply not ready for it. Goodluck to you in your journey!
Consciousness is everything that is matter and everything that is not matter. The higher self and the subconscious collective mind and God , are all one and the same.
Interesting...I've had a similar experience healing trauma, but not from ayahuasca.... The main difference was that I didn't get any explanations or 3rd person perspectives, my trauma induced thoughts just stopped and never returned. Not sure if it's better to know your traumas in detail or to heal from them subconsciously, but against my will, my life became substantially better. We have so much to learn about these substances and the human mind -- some times I think it might be humanity's last hope..
This stuff just shows you things you already know about yourself. People have these experiences and end up saying the same things religion and philosophy has said for yearsssss. Just meditate and observe your everyday thoughts.
The difference is that most people are not actually conscious of the things that they “already know about themselves” until they confront them in the way that a psychedelic is able to present to you. Society and culture is mostly responsible for a human’s framework on their own consciousness. Psychedelics do not operate within ANY framework nor do they belong to any delegation of culture or society.
@@Buddytookoff they could be though, drugs are just a shortcut though and we are really busy all the time with who knows what exactly. Finding oneself through more wholistic means is a much deeper and integral experience but who has time for that?
At 9:30... regarding hubris in understanding consciousness. Maybe in the scientific community... but there are many great teachers, living now, that can tackle the subject from an enlightened perspective: shunyamurti, adyashanti, mooji, david spero, and while there appear to be levels of understanding, each can share their wisdom with unusual clarity. Only now, at this time in history, is the science catching up with the masters... and a great time to be alive. Each of these teachers can be found on YT.
It simply opens your mind, and makes you more self aware. It is your own intelligence, but you are part of a larger organism, that is the from beyond feeling you get. Psychs dissolve the ego that is constructed from birth, the construct. Our ego is how we see ourselves in the construct we built. We are own protaganists, writing a story. Psychs break down presumptions, assumptions, judgements and contradictions that are created in the story we wrote to that point, and that character is our ego. So when you come back down, you literally are a different person, a better person. At least, if better can be defined as more honorable, less hypocritical, more humble. These have to be values going in though, that's why I say it's your own intelligence, you're sorting it out, as we all are, every day, but the psychs make you see so quickly because once you remove the ego, it's simply clear as day, how your path is in line with that ego person, and not in line with the person you imagined yourself to be. Meditation does the same thing, but not as quickly. Though once mastered it is quick, and obviously more physically healthy. The world needs more humility and Honor. More people should fo it. Peace
You have to be ready to understand it and be able to compartmentalize the information. It shouldn't be used for personal gains, it should be used to help others. It's what I call the gift. You are either born with it or you are not. But you can awaken others.
we are one. BUT, hearing that from someone, or saying it to urself, or thinking that, is not enough. when you truly deeply realize this within. & are shown it from SOURCE. THEN you have a deep inner peace.
Theirs definitely other parts of our consciousness in our brain we haven't touched yet. My deepest epiphany moment wasn't even on phycodelics it was on an mind altering amount of skunk .The question what is life was answered with a beautiful multi coloured beam of light rising from me towards outer space.Obviously since, I've questioned the authenticity of whether it was just a thought or an epiphany.ive done enough phychedelics in my life to be in complete control of trips but this felt completely different .
What people don't understand and I know this because I have experienced ni nirvana through marijuana. What it is is, you connect to your soul. You speak to you soul which in it's purest form is love. This is the thing that is very strong in children. Society bleeds this out of people and government does also. You can believe what is true to what you really see. You don't need this to get there. Speak from the soul. It separates you from your ego. The ego is in the brain. The soul lives in your heart. The conscious mind is collective. It is what our connection to the universe without ego. Ego comes from being in human flesh. The soul is what is the spiritual self of humans.
For those of us who have a serious Aya practice (many years, close to 70 ceremonies) it's always interesting to hear the input from people new to the realm. First of all, Aya is NOT DMT. That is a simple misunderstanding based on western scientific materialism/reductionism. Aya is a vine with NO DMT. It has an MAOI that allows the DMT from another plant (usually Chacruna leaves) to get to the brain. But there are untold numbers of agents at work, and to simplify it down to DMT is not accurate or complete. It's incomplete. It is also quite different from Mushrooms or LSD, which is a synthetic mushroom derivation. I've done plenty of all of them and none are like Aya. Aya has an intelligence and specificity that is miraculous. It gives you precisely what you need, not what you want, but what you need, every single time. It's very humbling to imagine that such a thing exists. I first did it in 1999 and i can say that i'm just as awed by it now as i was then. But one doesn't really understand it until having done at least 20-some ceremonies. Even then you're just beginning to understand what it's capable of teaching and healing. It is a teacher and a healer, but you must take the lessons and healing and implement them in your life. Aya shows you the path, but you must walk it. Aya shifts your body, aligns your central nervous system, it stimulates your Vagas nerve, heals all of the systems vagal nerve touches. I look forward to when they can put nanobots in people to get the info of what's transpiring in the body so they can monitor and measure all that it's doing. It's true medicine. Don't engage until you feel called and make sure you are with a responsible guide/facilitator.
@@michaelmcconnell7302 LSD is an synthetic ergoline derivative. Ergoline alkaloids are found in fungi. "Synthetic Mushrooms" is wrong, but not that far from the truth.
Love these, and this was a good one. It seems Ayahuasca teaches a lifetime worth of lessons in a dose. It's unbelievably fascinating to ponder how and why, what's really going on. I think it is revealing truth, about ourselves, how we construct reality at least in our own mind, and possibly truth about some deeper workings of reality. One perplexing thing is how Ayahuasca exists.. how could something so miraculous to mind exist. It acts on the core of our existence in ways that seem far beyond coincidence or chance. How could a wild compound teach you such profoundly beneficial things? It adjusts your unfathomably complex mind to function in a way it apparently should. That's mindboggling.
Like any psychedelic its enchancing some of the brain functions, connect and block some of them, messes up with the whole homeostasis for this short period of time. It isnt some kind of entity, a chemical compound cannot have its own agenda - it just temporarily impairs the function of the whole organism. But for the greater majority of population it will have no long-term effect, nor physical nor on the mind. Depression will not go away, dickheads wont stop being dickheads, greddy will keep grabbing and haters will still hate. One dose of some psychedelic cant change the "wiring" of your brain you and your environment has been working to establish for decades.
I think it was just to emphasize that he would not have tried Ayahuasca if it weren’t for his wife, the person he respects the most, having success with it.
Interesting. That's how I feel about control as well, which is why going to a concert isn't super interesting to me. If you're in the band, sure, because you're acting on others instead of being acted upon. Typically, the stage is under your control as well, whereas the crowd seems more chaotic. I suppose it depends on the genre a bit (e.g., Yanni vs Metallica). Anyway, Dan has some takes that resonate. Enjoying the clips. :)
Your body floods with seratonin when you die, also floods with DMT, its where you go when you die, I had that exact feeling like it was opening some door that lead to another dimension, also had this overwhelming feeling of not being ready and unsure why I was even there
Yeah, I’m glad you said that. I had all my life changing experiences in my early 20s. The first lsd, and mushroom trips I got all the changes Dan talks about. Now at 48, hero doses are profound and huge, but the doors were opened years ago. I think these talks are valuable, but it really sounds like 1st timers being introduced to psychedelics. All good for the movement when respected intellectuals enter this world.
The group set & setting & integration process is a big part of these psychedelic experiences. I had multiple years of going deep with psilocybin 5+G experiences before I personally journeyed to Peru two separate times & it brought San Pedro-yopo-5meo into the future pathways as well. These are just different states of reality/dimensions of being. Some people do 30-50 ceremonies & still can have a toxic ego/persona. It’s just about what is right for the individual in there process of personal growth. The medicine only does so much, it’s up to the person undertaking these journeys to find & create the real magic…(conscious creator within the flow of creation, a continuous idea in flux)
The concept of the mundane and normality is a terrible curse on this planet that is also part of the beautiful creation of Maya. It’s very encouraging that existence is far more insane than we could ever be 🙏🏼
i did it in mexico in a rather large group pretty off the grid. i was the only foreighner (i am german). it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. i learned to love myself after not being able to do so for decades. also was able to solve an issue with my dad, THAT I DID NOT EVEN KNOW (consciously) THAT WAS THERE. the ritual was the most mystic thing that i have ever experienced and does not compare imo to shrooms, lsd or peyote (which i have tried before, and are beautiful in itself).
It feels amazing to know about psychedelics all thanks to this online store I was able to get some mushrooms and they got some lsd gummies cannabis xtc and another stuffs
I was searching for the best videos of dmt who could describe in the right way and this guy explained exactly what I was searching for thanks bro. I have a fear anxiety panic attacks I think a lot and nothing helps I want to get rid of it I can’t manage my life cuz of this problems I know I can do better in life and more but anxiety fear holds me back I wanna try dmt but under doctors supervision
I never been lazy in my life im a go getter but depression doesn’t let me do anything anxiety and depression 24/7 i need help with that i dont want medication it’s not gonna help only ibogaine or ayvasca i heard can help right away
When I did it, it showed me my Mums suicide in away that made me understand it perfectly. ❤ I’ve struggled some dark times but 5 ceremonies changed my brain and how I view life forever, I’ve watched many NDE’s on TH-cam and death maybe the ultimate gift. So it makes perfect sense to me that it’s illegal, as it’s really bad for business. 😂 Hopeless, depression, bad diets and a lack of meaning fuels, alcohol, nicotine, drugs, antidepressants, the list goes on. If people release who they really are the world would change forever. ❤
DMT doesn't only open the curtain, it gives you a first hand, concious perspective of the ethereal. Mix with alcohol or weed and you get different perspectives.
I never drink or take drugs. But a couple times a year I see evolving geometric shapes and pulsating and changing colors like a really brilliant shade of blue and purple that sweep across my vision like waves... Is this something someone experiences on a trip?
Yes, your electromagnetic sense is awakening. Happens to me off an off drugs, can also see the magnetic field lines of earth and feel the moment of large bodies of water in my tummy in a similar way.

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 7 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms.Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,
Cured my war PTSD after 3 treatments. Never had bad day sense.
Would you ever fight in a war again? Did it effect how you view an "enemy"?
Really? That’s crazy cool. Can you elaborate on that? Please
dmt only works if you allow it too.. alot of people think it will cure you instantly.. not true.. takes alot of honesty and soul searching
Too bad it didn’t cure your spelling 😂 jks
Man I love this. Glad it worked for you man
Cured my PTSD after 20 years of torture. I’d tried everything before Ayahuasca. 🙏
You had a drug problem not PTSD
Every time I trip I learn something new. It doesnt take me anywhere, it simply decontructs all of the social systems that we've been forced into. It makes me realize the immense amount of horseshit we impose on ourselves and each other. It's not the lack of things, it's the manipulative quality of the extra crap we pile on to things that aren't broken. You will learn to appreciate your arm hair. Your cat, your bed. Your relationships and that some doors are to be closed and others opened. Do it.
I’ve tripped shrooms and lsd. Never liked lsd but always enjoy shrooms. Been thinking of trying dmt/ayah for years to learn about myself more deeply but I’ve hesitated bc I’ve had some pretty bad experiences on lsd. I’m deeply thoughtful ab things to a fault so I’m timid ab going deeper than I want. Do you recommend one or the other between dmt or ayah?

I've experienced the exact same thing.. was depressed as a teenager after reading and comprehending the history of the world.. wanted the Truth or Death. After tripping many times and wearing the ego thin, finally experienced the "sky being torn open" and an overwhelming experience of wisdom and love coming from what I can only describe as God. It told me that it is was great that I finally got here and reconciled apparent opposites.. false dualities if you will. Then it said "now can you come find me sober"? Woke up the next day and the journey began.. I've not succeeded yet, but at least I know there's a goal and infinite love to support you on the way. Gives you a kind of fortitude that I didn't have before for life's ups and downs..
Are you describing a literal voice or something you just interpreted that way?
I think god, the one you spoke to
Umm i think god lives in our consciousness or collective conscious. He represents objective truth, reason and love and i believe hes been always with us its just that the persut of material heavily clouds our connection to god... i know it sounds crazy but its why people say "its like explaining a new color"
@@chepeman22810 I completely agree. My dad told me when I was a young boy that our Conscious is God talking to us. But that its our choice to listen to him or ignore him.
I believe that because why when we are about to do something wrong or bad or Conscious appears and tells us that what we are doing is wrong and shouldnt but we either continue on with it or listen and not do it. The choice is yours but I honestly think thats 1 of many ways of how God communicates with us.
Just leave imaginary sky pixies out of it and you'll go further faster. 😉
I had an almost exact experience with a really big dose of psilocybin mushrooms. Words simply cannot explain. It’s like trying to describe a color to someone who is colorblind.

Same. But weed was actually gave a stronger feeling of “there’s more to reality”. Psilocybin felt like a always silent guardian/mentor finally given the chance to speak
Yeah thats how shrooms are for me too.

In My first trip , I saw my father who has passed away 2 years prior. I tried to hug him but he smiled and walk away then disappeared in a cloud of red smoke. I didn’t feel sad ( I should have been ) instead , I felt a profound inner peace like I knew he was in a better place.

Also a know it all is the most ignorant person in the world, those who know enough to know they know nothing, are much wiser.
I did Ayahuasca. I did not feel like there was something outside myself communicating to me, probably because I wasn't predisposed to that since I did not use it in a ritualistic context and I am not a religious person. What I believe it does is remove a layer, or possibly a barrier, in your consciousness and allows you to look and even express yourself with a degree of honesty and awareness that you do not experience otherwise. If you use that moment to reflect upon yourself, surely you'll draw conclusions and understandings that are enabled by this state of mind.
I’m not predisposed at all but was one the most logical realist extreme agnostics around. Until my fourth aya ceremony where had Creator / Source in me. Know there’s a Creator. Not the God of the Bible but a loving nonjudgmental Source of everything. Took me quite a while to process it without feeling cray since was soooo anti religion I’m still not religious but very spiritual. Source animates us all , everything. We are One.
@@XX-bm4eo I can't explain it so it must be god? Lazy, very lazy. 🤔🤣
I live in Brazil where Ayahuasca is far more "commum" in many circles. It can go in many directions and many many times the experience of people is similar to the one described by Dan in this clip. As for me, I can certainly say it transformed the whole course of my life.
In what way hans?
@@robmccabe9017in many ways, some of which can be put into words and some that cannot.
The felt sense of what is the "world" or what is to be "alive" was dramatically changed and boosted in a way that my conceptual mind - which was really stiff - began to crack....
My bodily senses and my direct interaction with the living events started growing in strength and clarity.
I was stuck in books and wasn't able to break through the hard coverrs. I was squeezed without knowing the how of it. Trying and trying hard to fit in the "official" narratives and practices. I used to feel a volcano within but there was a much massive mountain on top of me.
Ayahuasca triggered a sort of implosion in that mountain lid.... magma burst through...
If couse i could not integrate all of it at once. There was a lot of work to be done after that but the newly revealed world was undiniable.
The impact was huge and went on to study what it was all about, wirh diferent shamans from Peru, Colômbia and Brazil. Lots and lots happened.
Spiritual journeys, New atitude for work, more creatvity in artistic expression... and much more.
Thats it, Rob, maybe these words convey a little bit of what it all was and is.
Thanks for asking
Thank you for replying, Hans.
Respons'ibility'. ;)
As soon as *_they_* realize it's helping people *_they_* make it illegal. Very sad really.
Very close to that with shrooms. Felt like "I figured it all out." Shed many fears. And watched a big part of my ego wither away. Everyone should try it at least once.
Interesting....I have no ego and maybe this is due to hundreds of trips?
how long till Lex tries it I wonder
@@dealwolfstriked272 A person with no ego would never state openly "I have no ego", at least not in this particular context as you are doing it. A person with no ego just wouldn't be interested in such a bravado. Still, it is perfectly fine for anybody to have a fully functioning ego cause in any other case you wouldn't be able to function in this material dimension. A quality psychedelic experience will point to you, or it will make you conscious that you have an ego. It will make you clear that there is something in you that can be labeled as your ego, and there is another aspect of you that is able to witness the ego, which is usually a radically new, awesome, and mind-blowing experience. Or should we say a mind-bending experience? Sometimes some people are for various reasons unable to relax during the psychedelic experience, which is usually a sign that the ego doesn't allow to be put on the spot just like that. In that case, a good psychedelic will slap the ego hard and that person will have an experience of ego-death. That doesn't mean that ego really died. It means that it got temporarily smaller and traumatized cause it didn't use to be out in the open and out of control.
@Sharks trust me it's a low ego.I know I'm a nothing
@Sharks WHO HERE HAS THE SMALLEST EGO PLEASE STAND UP.
BTW I MIGHT BE EATING SOME EGGO'S TOMORROW MORNING FOR BREAKFAST.
AND I WILL BE SITTING DOWN. JUST FYI.
I’ve been fortunate enough to drink ayahuasca about ten times. It’s a game changer! And although other psychedelics hold a lot of the same power, the culture and ceremony that comes with drinking ayahuasca is what makes it what it is. Not to say one has to indulge in all the indigenous rites and rituals...but the aspect of sitting in a group setting with a guide who offers the support to your journey is, for me, what sets it apart from taking other psychedelics in a typical western approach. Highly recommended.
Yes the medicine is a blessing & gratitude seems to be one of the most important lessons.
How do you go about finding an authentic and safe ceremony to join?
@@mike0nabike this
@@mike0nabike good question! Depends where you live I guess.
@@mike0nabike there’s charlatans on every corner, so the fact that you’re asking for safe and authentic is a pretty good start😊
I live in Northern California, and I was just fortunate enough to find an amazing group of people who were a generation older than me, mostly women, all westerners, but really experienced with ayahuasca.
Thinking about it tho as I’m writing this, there’s a lot of amazement that I was able to find such an authentic setting. Knowing how everything is exploited and commodified these days, I imagine it’s pretty difficult to find that out in the world.
Good luck tho! It’s worth the effort.
About what Lex is saying, yes there is hubris about these ultimate questions on the nature of mind, consciousness, etc., but to me that is mostly coming from those who are more on the academic and materialistic side of the inquiry. I think there have definitely been many who have realized and experienced the true nature of the mind, consciousness, reality, Self. It's not hubris to think that it is possible to experience this, rather I think it is literally our very nature and essence. We are That. For anyone with an open mind, there is more than enough evidence out there that this experiential knowledge exists.
This conversation is brilliant and beautiful!
lex should take ayahuasca on the podder
Haha that would be one hell of a science experience. Would ruin set and setting which would kill the experiment tho.
The grains of sand reference was really good. I've never been able to describe the experience as well as he has here.
I’d like to try it for my combat related ptsd.
It would most likely help just even statistically. Might need a few sessions though
You should check out some video about the state of "flow". Apparently, skydiving helps a lot with ptsd by making you go in that state of "flow".
I can give you contact info for a guy that specializes in addiction treatment, which PTSD is often the root of. It’s ibogaine and toad DMT. You need a healthy heart to do ibogaine, but it’s worth it.
@@KeithStrang I wouldnt do em if youve had the covid drugs. Lots of people with heart issues here in Aus right now. Especially the fitter people.
Skydiving and rockclimbing are great for combat ptsd brother. Do the skydive AFF course.
I've done Ayahuasca once and the stress of anwser the phone imediatly when it rings just disapeared. I'm not aware of other changes in me ... but that type of anxiety I don't have it anymore.
Also I was with a friend there and we had a vision , the same vision, it was like a native old man from Amazonia . Amazing!
the noise is what distorts the truth. there is so much noise
It appears that Ayahuasca is a product of the 500 million year old plant kingdom, that has had the time to evolve spiritually intelligent to an extraordinary high level.
There is no evidence for evolution. Nothing has ever spontaneously changed into another living thing in its life time, or been born other than what it's parent is, thus evolution is disproven. however there is Very intelligent design to everything, these plants included.
The telepathy that he talks towards the end happened to me every time I tripped on acid.
Eventually I understood that high consciousness states bring out dimensions & abilities of your mind that don't make sense to us in our default state.
Right on.
Same I’ve only taken LSD twice and both times I felt like a god of timing
I tried to create a "language" with rivers and eddys to try to explain to my sober self how my thinking works one time when I was on acid. I just couldn't see all the pieces at one time when I was sober so the "language" I took time to teach myself was mostly useless to my sober self unfortunately. Its like I had to be able to "see" more connections at once for the language to retain its utility. A narrower focus is why we can't retain the "understanding" we have when on psychedelics. That's what I think I learned anyway.
Do you think that it's possible to be on psychedelics for extended amount of time and if so then are people such as the CIA already using this?
@@navigator1819 bruh 💀
Man he nailed exactly how the experience feels........ there's so much unusual and fundamental information received when you go through the experience that to me it most definitely felt the information is being sent from elsewhere as opposed to created from within.......
Another experience I had...... I was staying in a bed and breakfast at the time.... there was a guy who lived there, I didn’t speak to him or interact with him except for to say hello in passing.... for a few days during my experimentation I kept receiving visions of a motorbike...... later that week this guy pulled up outside the b and b with 2 motorbikes in back of his van....... for the guy who was also staying at the b and b.....
“very convincing” and that fidgety shift in his chair really resonated with me. I can feel how profound this experience was for him. Very interesting to hear his story. Color me fascinated.
I remember the first time when i've smoked DMT. It was my first experience with it and it was at its purest form. Short time action ( around 10 mins or so...) but, I had THE so talked about breakthrough. It took me just that one first time to change my perception and believes about reality, God, space and time...
Ps: Getting my shit tighter to go to an Ayahuasca ceremony.
And then what? You pretended you know everything and had a massive ego trip and a talking point LOL. Go get a career my man, provide for your family, this is worth alot more than you trippin for 10min and believing you have the secrets of the universe lmaooo

@@WindRipples- i'll do it! Thanks!
Excellent truth spoken here Dan. I went through a similar realization through my 20s
This sounded very similar to my first successful LSD trip where I peeled the onion of the reality I constructed and was left with just the truth. I came out being able to let go of the semantics of grievances and sort of had the same recollection in which everyone is doing the best they could with what they had or knew.
Same here. Back when I was in the 10th grade in the year 2000.
Love LSD. Prefer to my adhd medication. But ayuhuasca & dmt or many levels above. A completely different world
Yeah your tweakin' probably couldnt hack DMT
One way to look at it... while the LSD experience is profound and beneficial. It is still a synthetic dose. The Aya experience contains the spirit inherent in the liana vine stem and bark. The same goes for psilocybin and peyote and their inherent 'teachers' residing in the plant.
After my one an only ayahuasca experience 6 years ago. I more or less quit alcohol. It's like my mind and body just says no.
I remember entering a sort of void, then having a 2 way conversation with a female entity or spirit. Then my spirit or essence was floating through the cosmos. After this I had feelings of meeting god, then I became god. I saw images of things that happened before I was born or when i was a baby, that I forgot. It was raw data that was very hard to process. A profound experience that words cannot do justice for. We do not have words to describe it. I pretty much quit alcohol after.
happy 2 hear that 4 you bro🙏🏽
If this gives you any peace I've been deas before and this is similar to my process of becoming one with God and than reborn into my body in the hospital. As I woke up, I experienced everything in my life leading up to me waking up(including my catheter being removed...) in what seemed like one moment in a state of mind that could somehow comprehend ir all. Then, as If to remind me, I had a repeat of it the day I got out of the hospital
in the fall of 2000..I had a friend who had a huge pyshcadelic experience and claimed he was given 3 choices.. to live, to live, or to hate. literally the same thing
I'm very grateful for my psilocybin and ayahuasca experiences. Those were lifechanging moments, but I think it's important to say that there is still risk of serious injury. I was schizophrenic for almost a year after doing HEROIC DOSAGE. Not everyone has luxury to go AWOL for a year. And even years later, I still get HPPD(Hallucinogenic Persisting Perception Disorder). So yeah, there's still cost to this.
LOL at this terrible ass experience. You lot need to go out and get careers and a family and be normal people. You cracked me up at the cost being schizo for a year hahahahaha, what a tosser
Thank you for saying this. I had a similar experience with experimenting with psychedelics. I was well read and knew a lot about what I was taking, and how to have a good experience. I travelled to Peru when I was 24 for an Ayahuasca journey. I can't say it led to my mental health issues, but I don't think it helped. I was experimenting and taking risks because I was desperate, I was depressed and didn't know how to get out, so I had this illusion that psychedelics could heal me and set me straight again.
But this didn't happen. Not all stories are positive and beneficial. About a year later I spent several weeks in a mental hospital back in my home town. It was bad.. not sure what else to say.
To those reading, just be careful out there and reach out to those around you and have a good support system before dabbling in these things. I'm healthier now at 30 than I ever have been, due to reconnecting with people and everyday life. Too much travelling and crazy experiences when you're young can sometimes be destabilising rather than a route to 'finding yourself'.
/End of story :)
Some people are boarder-line schizophrenics who could live a lifetime without it being activated. However, it is thought that some pharmaceutical drugs and some plants could turn on/precipitate/activate the gene responsible for breaking this border-line and activating the once dormant schizophrenia.
@@johngolden8549 Schizophrenia, I'm not sure, you could be right. But I think at the moment the research shows a huge variety of genes could be involved in the disorder. There is a researcher in the UK that is on the cutting edge of that research. Whether it is the drugs activating different genes or maybe the added stress to the body and mind from a disturbing experience that tips vulnerable people over the edge, I don't know.
But desperate people don't really listen to warnings anyway because they are desperate and will try anything. I think I could only recommend these journeys to young people now if they were to do it with a trained professional, like a psychologist, as part of a program. I think they need to be utilised in a long term supportive relationship to reduce likelihood of harm.
Some ppl believe it gives you just what you need.
He is right in thinking it was a separate intelligence. Psychedelics give us direct access to intelligence far greater then that of humans. It's not from the subconscious. Our ego's like to think we are the most intelligent things in the universe but we are not. Not even close!
It's mediated through our subconscious and given form by it, but it isn't the signal source I agree.
Im 52 & have done my fair share of partying & substances over the years etc. In the recent decade great insights have come from the pure mdma I did a couple of handful of times. Too much of anything is no good. Daily 20 minute meditation has been the most valuable in terms of understanding life & a better daily, more loving synchronistic flowy experience. Just stopping, slowing breath, letting go & observing. Words & thought disappear & imagery & knowing takes over. What I've learnt is we're definately all connected & one. The daily physical experience is definately illusionary somewhat with deeper dynsmics at play. All problems stem from our individual & collective urge to control our experience tho we're programmed to do so from the time we open our eyes. Two basic rules apply & are key to most things 1.Treat others (all sentient beings) the way you would like to be treated. 2. Actions speak louder than words. There's deepness & meaning I feel which is very hard to put into words. Eat plant based, stretch regularly, fast regularly, stay lean, exercise, meditate daily. Find peace & master yourself & it will be mirrored to your relationship with others & your daily experience.
Great post Ken thank you

Ive just had a similar experience with ayahuasca. I really relate to the way Dan puts it. "Mother earth came and explained things to me" 🤯
The only archetype that speaks to me with words.
Relate very much to the statement that it's hard to speak with others who haven't experienced a spirital awakening. I haven't done ayahuasca, but did have a kundalini awakening which was intense. Had visions, telepathy, etc. I know I sounded crazy to people who hadn't experienced anything similar! 😅

I have a very unic experience with ayahuasca because i drink it in the forest only with my friend.
He buy from a local cult (i live in Brazil) and i prepared myself a week meditating, eating fruits etc..
Was a beautiful day and the experience was amazing i fell like i was experiencing the reality for the first time and see a lot of entetitys. The leson that i learn from that day is that i have a lot of bad habits and only when i control those habits i will reach something in life (still fighting to these days) but what a experience, recomend for everybory less for the people who have historical schyzofrenia in family
NEVER IN MY LIFE expected that I’d have 100x more appreciation for the guy from imagine dragons take on hallucinogens- oh wait… saying this makes me realize that it makes complete sense- can’t stand how Harris postures himself as this fountain of wisdom based on pure speculation
Had no idea who this guys was, wow!
Who was talking about Harris? He says what he feels. Just like you did in this comment talking down about one of the best modern philosophical minds.
@@trip4923 I'm talking about Harris, this if you have a problem with that.. take it on the arches- if you wanna follow that, go ahead... sounds like YOU are talking about Harris now.
This dude has clearly grown very mature, good job mom.
I think Aya gives you full access to your subconscious mind. It feels "other" to you because it is. "You" are a high-level construct of the conscious ego. The truth is not external, it is inside all of us, we just have to learn how to access it.
From my experience/experimentation, I believe psychedelics/mediation/sound frequencies breaks down the barrier between our conscious and subconscious mind, allowing our conscious mind to experience our sub conscious thoughts, feelings and memories..... however I also believe, in our subconscious mind we can access the universal consciousness......
One of my first truly breakthrough experiences, during my own experimentation was this..... the words/feeling/communication I was experiencing, felt as if they were coming from someone/something/somewhere else.......
""""" Hey we've been waiting for you....... don't be scared...... don't be scared....... your family is here with us..... you don't really know him well, but he's family, he's family...... it's (then proceeded to tell me a name) he's safe, he's here with us, he's your family don't worry, he's with us""""
3 days later I was with my mum and we were talking about our family and I was asking if any of my older family members had caught or been effected by c v..... at first she said no.... then after a short pause she said her cousin..... with the same name I had heard/felt/experienced 3 days before had been in a coma for 4 days with pneumonia and died the day after my experience......... I was gobsmacked and instantly began to feel an incredibly sadness this was one of the most profound experiences of my life......... I had only ever met the man a few times and never really seen him or his family in my day to day life or on social media as I only use this......... there had been no mention from anyone or way of me knowing about his predicament in the weeks prior.
I was a hard-core atheist before this....... now I have a new found sense of........ enlightenment amazement, fascination and desire to discover the world to which is there but we cannot see or experience, not in our normal state anyway.
Peace, power and freedom to all the psychonautics out there.......
@@WSmith_1984 Thanks for sharing. I definitely think there is likely more to reality than we can perceive.
@@mikestaub there definitely is my friend, enjoy your journey.
No, it's a separate, discarnate intelligence that you experience on DMT/aya. I'm 100% positive because I've been there myself many times. Read "The Cosmic Serpent" by Narby.
@@adamhurter6454 I've also done Aya and Bufo. It is not a separate intelligence because we are all one consciousness. The experience of 'self' and 'other' is a temporary illusion.
“Mormon kid”… I was a Mormon editorial cartoonist at the Deseret News in Salt Lake City 1974 to 1986. Interesting interview.
Says something that makes extreme sense followed by "idk if that makes sense"
Love ayahuasca. I have learned so much from it.
I have complex ptsd so I'm really scared I would have an adverse reaction and someone might get hurt or something. I would love to experience it.
I have ptsd too
I did it 15 times
Had one bad trip but I'm still here
@@Daneiladams555 How bad of a trip are we talking?
I have cptsd - only good reaction 🙌
What a great clip, and a great interview overall, wow.
There really are no words to convey, we can try, and we all do, and the people we talk to about it want to know more! I remember after my first time, seeing artwork that was made by very talented artists that went through their own journey, and all of a sudden recognizing what they were attempting to depict, and realizing that no matter how great it was, it falls short of the real thing
I also agree on how terrifying it can be, after my first time, I just wanted to fly home, I was so scared of doing it again, but I’m glad I did because it only got better
But I do agree it’s a giant decision for anyone, once you flip that switch, it’s never truly flipped off, even years after your last experience.
Thank you Lex and thank you Dan for this brutally honest and compelling interview. Best of luck to you both:)
Wow so you saw artwork and fucked up your senses forever? How cool hahaha. I mean think about it, what's the ultimate goal? Being like the Shaman? That has done it so many times and now looks like a ninja turtle and have the focus of a gold fish? Ya'll need to grow up.
Speaking from very extensive experience with Aya (daily/near daily for 4 years straight), there's a lot of people commenting here who need a deeper understanding about Ayahuasca, even if they've experienced it, things go much, much deeper, i assure you. It's not what the general public thinks, and Psychedelics/Entheogens in themselves are highly misunderstood tools. All i can say is thoroughly study the subject, in depth, don't jump to conclusions, truly try to understand.
But no one quantifies that statement. It goes deeper, but nothing but the surface ever gets expressed. No deeper truths than can already be found in art and literature get exposed.
@@silencemeviolateme6076 - You'd be surprised lol.
@@Sabnock1990 see, you have nothing to say.
@@silencemeviolateme6076 - Lol, there is nothing to say, there are only things to experience directly and to realize/understand. If you don't wanna risk it to get the biscuit, that's on you my friend lol.
@@Sabnock1990 realize/understand but not vocalize? That's what the evangelicals peddle.
8:37 Many people have similar experiences and I feel like at that point the boundary between what is "yourself" and "your unconscious" and "God" become extremely blurry and it doesn't even make sense anymore to distinguise between it
Love the Alex Grey artwork on your Video's Thumbnail; he did all the cover art for Tool's 'Lateralus' album (2001)
I wish Lex would cover Tool; would love to hear his take.
Powerful! Dan certaintly had an experience with the Supreme All-Pervading Consciousness
Wisdom and order is an entity unlike anything humans can understand. We only can grasp at a small part or percentage of what is this true "full" entity.
@@bullseye1985mac that is, until we ascend to super consciousness 🙏
Ive done it extensively for the last 8 or 9 years. What he is saying is so true.
It's like you experience time differently.
When you are on Ayahuasca it is more real regular life.
Mycospread:::::;;;;;;;;
If you can be bothered to focus on your breathing for at least 3 hrs a day you will have the same experience.
It's possible to connect with this feeling as it comes from within your own brain.
When you hit the buffers in life you have a few options this substance is certainly one but believe in yourself
It's not Rocket Science.
You clearly haven't had the experience lol
@@Pimpjit85 Thank you for replying to my comment.
I am a child of the 70's that lived in a small English village.
In the autumn the magic mushrooms used to grow and we would eat them.
In my 40's like many people I cracked up.
10 yrs on I have got a grip of things.
I seriously believe the effect of breathing combined with the right diet and exercise opens up something in ones brain.
The vision within my self is very close to the magic mushroom trips.
I fear for people that see the use of these substances as a short cut to a better place .
Thank you again for challenging me and giving small platform from which I speak.
Dare to look into yourself without any stimulation apart from your own mind and body
@@darringodden7225 thanks for sharing that. It's a fair point. Especially your comment about the shortcut. I think many are using these to escape reality rather then to use them as tools to unlock truths about reality. And for those lucky enough to experience truths, they're simply not ready for it. Goodluck to you in your journey!
Wow what a civil conversation that was for the internet
Consciousness is everything that is matter and everything that is not matter. The higher self and the subconscious collective mind and God , are all one and the same.
Interesting...I've had a similar experience healing trauma, but not from ayahuasca.... The main difference was that I didn't get any explanations or 3rd person perspectives, my trauma induced thoughts just stopped and never returned. Not sure if it's better to know your traumas in detail or to heal from them subconsciously, but against my will, my life became substantially better. We have so much to learn about these substances and the human mind -- some times I think it might be humanity's last hope..
I’m very thankful that all these plants and fungi that contain these powerful psychoactive chemical compounds exist naturally on our planet 🌱
Excellent conversation!
If they ever make a Matrix prequel, Lex should play a young version of the architect, he's got the chair.
This stuff just shows you things you already know about yourself.
People have these experiences and end up saying the same things religion and philosophy has said for yearsssss.
Just meditate and observe your everyday thoughts.
The difference is that most people are not actually conscious of the things that they “already know about themselves” until they confront them in the way that a psychedelic is able to present to you. Society and culture is mostly responsible for a human’s framework on their own consciousness. Psychedelics do not operate within ANY framework nor do they belong to any delegation of culture or society.
are you saying that reality is the Ultimate Trip? Is that what you're saying?
@@Hyporama reality is wiiiild tbh
@@Buddytookoff they could be though, drugs are just a shortcut though and we are really busy all the time with who knows what exactly. Finding oneself through more wholistic means is a much deeper and integral experience but who has time for that?
@@soulfuzz368 you can kayak across the Atlantic Ocean, or you can just take a plane and fly over. Tools
I get the same experience when I meditate and try to communicate with the great source.
Sent me over the edge. Don't do it if you are prone to depression/anxiety.
At 9:30... regarding hubris in understanding consciousness. Maybe in the scientific community... but there are many great teachers, living now, that can tackle the subject from an enlightened perspective: shunyamurti, adyashanti, mooji, david spero, and while there appear to be levels of understanding, each can share their wisdom with unusual clarity.
Only now, at this time in history, is the science catching up with the masters... and a great time to be alive. Each of these teachers can be found on YT.
It simply opens your mind, and makes you more self aware. It is your own intelligence, but you are part of a larger organism, that is the from beyond feeling you get. Psychs dissolve the ego that is constructed from birth, the construct. Our ego is how we see ourselves in the construct we built. We are own protaganists, writing a story. Psychs break down presumptions, assumptions, judgements and contradictions that are created in the story we wrote to that point, and that character is our ego. So when you come back down, you literally are a different person, a better person. At least, if better can be defined as more honorable, less hypocritical, more humble. These have to be values going in though, that's why I say it's your own intelligence, you're sorting it out, as we all are, every day, but the psychs make you see so quickly because once you remove the ego, it's simply clear as day, how your path is in line with that ego person, and not in line with the person you imagined yourself to be.
Meditation does the same thing, but not as quickly. Though once mastered it is quick, and obviously more physically healthy.
The world needs more humility and Honor. More people should fo it.
Peace
9:07 Soul. Is that the eternal soul?
Reconnecting with what's beyond our lifetime,
within the body gifted to the self to spend our time here.
9:16 “we have a lot of hubris in thinking we understand any of it.. like how the mind works.. at all…” (continues)
Love this. Sounds like a really grounded guy.
You have to be ready to understand it and be able to compartmentalize the information. It shouldn't be used for personal gains, it should be used to help others. It's what I call the gift. You are either born with it or you are not. But you can awaken others.
we are one. BUT, hearing that from someone, or saying it to urself, or thinking that, is not enough. when you truly deeply realize this within. & are shown it from SOURCE. THEN you have a deep inner peace.
Theirs definitely other parts of our consciousness in our brain we haven't touched yet.
My deepest epiphany moment wasn't even on phycodelics it was on an mind altering amount of skunk .The question what is life was answered with a beautiful multi coloured beam of light rising from me towards outer space.Obviously since, I've questioned the authenticity of whether it was just a thought or an epiphany.ive done enough phychedelics in my life to be in complete control of trips but this felt completely different .
Best lex vid yet. Yep Lex need to de-articulate to appreciate to feel
This one was really good.
Really didn't want this video (discussion) to end and was dreading seeing that thin red line fill up lol
Kali or Medusa or some deity hovered over me and without words showed me I’m way too arrogant and cocky….I needed it.
What people don't understand and I know this because I have experienced ni nirvana through marijuana. What it is is, you connect to your soul. You speak to you soul which in it's purest form is love. This is the thing that is very strong in children. Society bleeds this out of people and government does also. You can believe what is true to what you really see. You don't need this to get there. Speak from the soul. It separates you from your ego. The ego is in the brain. The soul lives in your heart. The conscious mind is collective. It is what our connection to the universe without ego. Ego comes from being in human flesh. The soul is what is the spiritual self of humans.
For those of us who have a serious Aya practice (many years, close to 70 ceremonies) it's always interesting to hear the input from people new to the realm. First of all, Aya is NOT DMT. That is a simple misunderstanding based on western scientific materialism/reductionism. Aya is a vine with NO DMT. It has an MAOI that allows the DMT from another plant (usually Chacruna leaves) to get to the brain. But there are untold numbers of agents at work, and to simplify it down to DMT is not accurate or complete. It's incomplete.
It is also quite different from Mushrooms or LSD, which is a synthetic mushroom derivation. I've done plenty of all of them and none are like Aya. Aya has an intelligence and specificity that is miraculous. It gives you precisely what you need, not what you want, but what you need, every single time. It's very humbling to imagine that such a thing exists. I first did it in 1999 and i can say that i'm just as awed by it now as i was then.
But one doesn't really understand it until having done at least 20-some ceremonies. Even then you're just beginning to understand what it's capable of teaching and healing. It is a teacher and a healer, but you must take the lessons and healing and implement them in your life. Aya shows you the path, but you must walk it. Aya shifts your body, aligns your central nervous system, it stimulates your Vagas nerve, heals all of the systems vagal nerve touches. I look forward to when they can put nanobots in people to get the info of what's transpiring in the body so they can monitor and measure all that it's doing. It's true medicine.
Don't engage until you feel called and make sure you are with a responsible guide/facilitator.
You lost me at "lsd is synthetic mushrooms"
@@michaelmcconnell7302 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_lysergic_acid_diethylamide
@@michaelmcconnell7302 LSD is an synthetic ergoline derivative. Ergoline alkaloids are found in fungi. "Synthetic Mushrooms" is wrong, but not that far from the truth.
Love these, and this was a good one. It seems Ayahuasca teaches a lifetime worth of lessons in a dose. It's unbelievably fascinating to ponder how and why, what's really going on. I think it is revealing truth, about ourselves, how we construct reality at least in our own mind, and possibly truth about some deeper workings of reality. One perplexing thing is how Ayahuasca exists.. how could something so miraculous to mind exist. It acts on the core of our existence in ways that seem far beyond coincidence or chance. How could a wild compound teach you such profoundly beneficial things? It adjusts your unfathomably complex mind to function in a way it apparently should. That's mindboggling.
Like any psychedelic its enchancing some of the brain functions, connect and block some of them, messes up with the whole homeostasis for this short period of time. It isnt some kind of entity, a chemical compound cannot have its own agenda - it just temporarily impairs the function of the whole organism.
But for the greater majority of population it will have no long-term effect, nor physical nor on the mind. Depression will not go away, dickheads wont stop being dickheads, greddy will keep grabbing and haters will still hate. One dose of some psychedelic cant change the "wiring" of your brain you and your environment has been working to establish for decades.
0:50 "my wife, who I deeply respect" why did he feel the need to say that lol? I kind of assumed you respect her if she's your wife bro
I think it was just to emphasize that he would not have tried Ayahuasca if it weren’t for his wife, the person he respects the most, having success with it.
My wiiiiife
Lex really need to do the Topic, and please, if you please, document the experience.
Interesting. That's how I feel about control as well, which is why going to a concert isn't super interesting to me. If you're in the band, sure, because you're acting on others instead of being acted upon. Typically, the stage is under your control as well, whereas the crowd seems more chaotic. I suppose it depends on the genre a bit (e.g., Yanni vs Metallica). Anyway, Dan has some takes that resonate. Enjoying the clips. :)
Changed my life.
Your body floods with seratonin when you die, also floods with DMT, its where you go when you die, I had that exact feeling like it was opening some door that lead to another dimension, also had this overwhelming feeling of not being ready and unsure why I was even there
I did ayahuasca 15 times and it did not change my life
But it was profound to say the least
Yeah, I’m glad you said that. I had all my life changing experiences in my early 20s. The first lsd, and mushroom trips I got all the changes Dan talks about. Now at 48, hero doses are profound and huge, but the doors were opened years ago. I think these talks are valuable, but it really sounds like 1st timers being introduced to psychedelics. All good for the movement when respected intellectuals enter this world.
The group set & setting & integration process is a big part of these psychedelic experiences. I had multiple years of going deep with psilocybin 5+G experiences before I personally journeyed to Peru two separate times & it brought San Pedro-yopo-5meo into the future pathways as well. These are just different states of reality/dimensions of being. Some people do 30-50 ceremonies & still can have a toxic ego/persona. It’s just about what is right for the individual in there process of personal growth. The medicine only does so much, it’s up to the person undertaking these journeys to find & create the real magic…(conscious creator within the flow of creation, a continuous idea in flux)
The concept of the mundane and normality is a terrible curse on this planet that is also part of the beautiful creation of Maya. It’s very encouraging that existence is far more insane than we could ever be 🙏🏼
i did it in mexico in a rather large group pretty off the grid. i was the only foreighner (i am german). it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. i learned to love myself after not being able to do so for decades. also was able to solve an issue with my dad, THAT I DID NOT EVEN KNOW (consciously) THAT WAS THERE. the ritual was the most mystic thing that i have ever experienced and does not compare imo to shrooms, lsd or peyote (which i have tried before, and are beautiful in itself).
It feels amazing to know about psychedelics all thanks to this online store I was able to get some mushrooms and they got some lsd gummies cannabis xtc and another stuffs

I was searching for the best videos of dmt who could describe in the right way and this guy explained exactly what I was searching for thanks bro. I have a fear anxiety panic attacks I think a lot and nothing helps I want to get rid of it I can’t manage my life cuz of this problems I know I can do better in life and more but anxiety fear holds me back I wanna try dmt but under doctors supervision
Yes but I wouldn’t wanna try that without supervision of doctors cuz I don’t need the high I need the depression healing for good im depressed 24/7
I never been lazy in my life im a go getter but depression doesn’t let me do anything anxiety and depression 24/7 i need help with that i dont want medication it’s not gonna help only ibogaine or ayvasca i heard can help right away
this is the exact thing that i got from my experience it will show you the truth you need to hear.
LOVE FROM PERU❤
doing ayahausca this friday for a three day ceremony..the extremely strict diet is very hard though and just want to get this over with.
Was it worth it? Smoking it is so easy compared to all that
Great conservation&topic
the background looks like the matrix niceee
So what does Dan think about Jesus and christian God after his journey? Really interested to hear
When I did it, it showed me my Mums suicide in away that made me understand it perfectly. ❤
I’ve struggled some dark times but 5 ceremonies changed my brain and how I view life forever, I’ve watched many NDE’s on TH-cam and death maybe the ultimate gift.
So it makes perfect sense to me that it’s illegal, as it’s really bad for business. 😂
Hopeless, depression, bad diets and a lack of meaning fuels, alcohol, nicotine, drugs, antidepressants, the list goes on.
If people release who they really are the world would change forever. ❤
I didn't know he had Dan Reynolds on no way!!
DMT doesn't only open the curtain, it gives you a first hand, concious perspective of the ethereal. Mix with alcohol or weed and you get different perspectives.
This guy is so on point!
Very interesting but I was so distracted by how often he touched his glasses.
I never drink or take drugs. But a couple times a year I see evolving geometric shapes and pulsating and changing colors like a really brilliant shade of blue and purple that sweep across my vision like waves... Is this something someone experiences on a trip?
Sounds like some Cornelius “Kernel” Fleck.lol
Yes, your electromagnetic sense is awakening. Happens to me off an off drugs, can also see the magnetic field lines of earth and feel the moment of large bodies of water in my tummy in a similar way.
I really want to try it but I feel like I might not come back from it
