Knowledge is Power: Religion, Science & Magic Mushrooms

[@elizabethmoreno5595]

This video really resonated with me. I appreciated so much in the interaction of uncle and nephew, discussing something so eternal and profound.

[@TutuSainz]

As a grandmother who makes healing potions from garden ingredients, I approve this message!

[@fu_games]

do you have any advice to heal eyes?

[@maureenbuggy7022]

@@fu_games. If you buy cold compressd organic castor oil. It needs to be in a dark glass bottle. It’s been found to help reverse dry eyes and cataracts. You can rub it on the whole of your face as with time. It can also help with wrinkles and sagging skin that causes hooded top eyelashes. Hairs can regrow and can become stronger.

I Loved this conversation so much 👍 thank you guys

[@stephenwastaken]

Don't be afriad to make your videos more long form Bruce, they're welcome. We're all now used to listening for longer periods and love the journey.

[@onebreathwell-being]

I agree. I love longer videos. They allow me to really connect and absorb what is being said.

[@jhartfitness]

100% agree! 🙌

I, who walked away from the Religious Cult; have posted this video everywhere & sent to 'content creators' asking for them to do a show on it. . . . Thank you Dr. Bruce & Grasshopper Alex; for enlightening us & to encourage us to THINK OUTSIDE the box on ANY subject. I'll be watching for more knowledge from you on ALL this presented in this video.

[@countryrds1]

Glad to see Bruce approach this subject. It is special.

[@sarafuller7249]

Brilliant. Thank you both for this. Please do it more often. Like they say,"The truth will set you free" I have followed you for years Dr Bruce, knew you were batting for the right team. Please go further with your talks, humanity needs this.

[@PammieGonzalez]

Thanks Dr. Bruce and Grasshopper Alex. So enlightening. It all makes total sense how you explain it through history. Looking forward to more discussions.

[@harrisonhicks9697]

This is genius gents. Brains run in the family. Thanks for the share, gentlemen!!

[@mariateresaemotionalmusings]

Thank you Dr. Lipton for sharing the truth. I'm someone who uses the mushroom as plant medicine in micro doses to expand my consciousness and heal my emotional being. Everything you share touches my soul deeply because I have had many experiences that prove my soul's expression through the journey of being human 💛✨️🙌 our ancestors are guiding us back to our roots. Three years ago I took my shamanic rites. I have held this role in many lifetimes and now use my psychic abilities to help others. It's a humbling honor, seeing in the dark and I feel our responsibility because we are all connected. In the words of Ram Dass, "we are all walking each other home".

[@NerminUyar]

I guess as mushrooms connect and interwoven the earth's beings in a second time frame, so they are able to connect us with all dimensions or realms in very convenient way for our human psycho-neurobiology with suitable doses. Never tried but I feel that way.

[@Ohgiz]

There is no way you actually believe humans retain memories or knowledge of a supposed previous life do you? When you use your psychic abilities how is it that you communicate with these being or entities? Do you hear a voice that is a clear language or affirmations? What would you say to a theory that suggests us humans have no soul or spirit and simply share the ability to connect to a frequency that gives us a consciousness and allows us to build memories. Some describe it as being similar to a universal wifi network that only the human brain has the ability to connect to sort of like a private wifi network except the human brain has the password hardcoded into our brain. Im curious as to how you came to the conclusion that you had psychic abilities.

[@mariateresaemotionalmusings]

@Ohgiz I would say that these experiences have unfolded for me since childhood. It's a deep knowing of something greater than myself. There are those who don't believe we possess soul, sure. I believe all humans are equipped with multidimensional abilities, and like muscle, they are strengthened with practice. I know many of my previous lives and when I connect with clients and we are both experiencing the same vision, that is undeniable. I firmly believe it depends on your level of openness, healing and spiritual beliefs. There are many of us waking up to our gifts. I've known and felt different from my 1st memories. At the end of the day, the choice to believe is your free will. I know I'm not alone in mine. I come from along line of healers and have practiced as a shaman in many lifetimes. Stay curious my friend 🙏

Shamanic Journey The fiery Sun said to the broken Moon You can't be outdone Til you find what's begun Conspiring hearts crackle and burn Sum of all words forgiven karmic faults Wild and unknown Bespoke and disrobed Lying bare for all to see An outrageously desperate plea Guilty faces part like the red sea Shining eyes with defenses grown wise No longer taking souls Wiping the slate clean Bow under the star filled night Reach out to the highest levels of Heaven's sky All exists within the minds eye Seen only in the dark Shamanic culture is resurrected as art Alive with swirling paths of energy No longer passive to ancestral memory Resurrection of our ancestors' history, no longer shrouded in mystery. I walk the path of the shaman. Shining the Light into darkness, a healer for many more lifetimes than this one. Seeing in the dark. We are conduits for the spiritual realm and the truth.

Very interesting to realise, to what extent we are being manipulated by religion.

[@94nolo]

We're only being manipulated by ourselves.

[@chandrastar5939]

Oh we're being manipulated by everything. The conditioning is profound. Science, medicine, education, media, entertainment. I didn't mention food. Food. This one above saying we're only manipulating ourselves is a new age fool who thinks he's onto some deep understanding. The new age is just NWO propaganda.

[@thesoulmateconnection]

Religion and spirituality is not separate. This is where we have to be careful of our ego that separates us from ONE who is ONE with all of us. In the beginning, there was the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We are currently at a crossroads because we see our duality. But duality is just an illusion to reveal our oneness. So, humanity is actually feminine here to learn what is good. What is good is to know who we are. We are good. We are here to understand Him who is God who is selflessness. We are actually here to be lovers. We are in love with the other. Whatever is in opposition is giving resistance to teach. When we understand we are here to be a light to the other, brain and heart become ONE and all knowledge speaks to all things that are one. We actually are creating Him in our image. We are here to empower not to take the power. That is life. She chooses to love the other. She is not in love with herself (tree of knowledge of good and evil). The man and woman are one. Brain and heart are ONE. Religion and spirituality are ONE. One knows.

The shaman is the figure at the beginning of human history that unites the doctor, the scientist and the artist into a single notion of care-giving and creativity. The shaman is not merely a sick man, or a madman; he is a sick man who has healed himself. The shaman has access to a superhuman dimension and a superhuman condition, and by being able to do that he affirms the potential for transcendence in all people. He is an exemplar, if you will. In a way, this is a definition of shamanism. A shaman is a person who by some means has gotten out of their own culture. The shaman is a person who is able to transcend the dimensional confines of cultural existence. They know more than the people they serve. The people they serve are like children within the game of culture. Only the shaman knows that culture is a game. Everyone else takes it seriously. That's how he can do his magic. And what is shamanism but philosophy with a hands-on attitude. Philosophy not made around the camp fire, but philosophy based on the acquisition of extreme experience. That's how you figure out what the world is, not by bicycling around in the burbs, but by forcing extreme experience. This is in fact what shamanism is all about, what the end of history is all about, what psychedelic drugs are all about, we are edge-walking on an ontological transformation of what it means to be human. Culture is a plot against the expansion of consciousness. Cultures are virtual realities made of language. Culture is a perversion. It fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, it preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrelly religions and silly cults. It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves by behaving like machines. Ideologies are cultural memes. They are the most confining of the cultural memes. That's where culture gets real ugly. It is when you rub up against its ideologies. So the conclusion that I reach, visa vie the individual and civilization, is this: Culture is not our friend. Culture is not your friend. It's not my friend. It's a very uncomfortable set of accommodations that have been hammered out over time for the convenience of institutions We have gone sick by following a path of untrammeled rationalism, male dominance, attention to the visible surface of things, practicality, bottom-line-ism. We have gone very, very sick. The current operating system [culture] is flawed. It actually has bugs in it that generate contradictions. We're cutting the earth from beneath our own feet. We're poisoning the atmosphere that we breathe. This is not intelligent behavior. This is a culture with a bug in its operating system that's making it produce erratic, dysfunctional, malfunctional behavior. Time to call a tech! And who are the techs? The shamans are the techs. The reason for the emphasis on shamanism and on other techniques is, you will need techniques if you go into the deep water. And they can make your life very simple and save you from unnecessary suffering. Not all suffering is necessary. Maybe no suffering is necessary. To me it begins and ends with these psychedelic substances. The synergy of the psilocybin in the hominid diet brought us out of the animal mind and into the world of articulated speech and imagination. Sometime in the last 50,000 years, before 12,000 years ago, a kind of paradise came into existence. A situation in which men and women, parents and children, people and animals, human institutions and the land all were in dynamic balance and not in any primitive sense at all. Language was fully developed, poetry may have been at its climax, dance, magic, poetics, altruism, philosophy. There's no reason to think that these things were not practiced as adroitly as we practice them today and it was under the boundary dissolving influence of psilocybin. All the accoutrements that distinguish us from animal existence were put in place when we had a different kind of mind than we have now. We didn't have a mind that favored role specialization, and male dominance, and anxiety over female sexual activity related to feelings of male ownership. That all came later. The tension in the world is the tension between the ego and the feminine, not between the masculine and the feminine. Shamanism, on the other hand, is this world wide, since Paleolithic-times, tradition which says that you must make your own experience the centerpiece of any model of the world that you build. Shamanism is essentially a living tradition of alchemy that is not seeking the stone but has found the stone. I think the real test of psychedelics is what you do with them when you're not on them, what kind of culture you build, what kind of art, what kind of technologies... What's lacking in the Western mind is the sense of connectivity and relatedness to the rest of life, the atmosphere, the ecosystem, the past, our children's future. If we were feeling those things we would not be practicing culture as we are. How can we know who is the other until we know who is the self? The content of the dialogue with 'the Other' is a content that indicates that man's horizons are infinitely bright, that death is in fact, well, as Thomas Vaughn put it, 'the body is the placenta of the soul'. The purpose of life is to familiarize oneself with this after-death body so that the act of dying will not create confusion in the psyche. We are alienated, so alienated that the self must disguise itself as an extraterrestrial in order not to alarm us with the truly bizarre dimensions that it encompasses. I believe in extraterrestrials, but I believe that real extraterrestrials are so peculiar that the job is to recognize them. I believe that the place to search for extraterrestrials is in the psychic dimension. The discs which haunt the skies of Earth indicate that the unconscious cannot be kept waiting forever. These things are going to have to be dealt with. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. The problem is that tunnel is in the back of your mind. And if you don’t go to the back side of your mind you will never see the light at the end of the tunnel. And once you see it, then the task becomes to empower it in yourself and other people. Spread it as a reality. God did not retire to the seventh heaven, God is some kind of lost continent IN the human mind. Patanjali specifically says that there are three paths to the goal of yoga. And they are, control of the breath, control of posture, and light-filled herbs. It says it right there. Stanza 6 of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The psychedelic experience is the beginning of the spiritual path. That's why it's not important that yogas' claim that they can deliver you the psychedelic experience, because it begins with the psychedelic experience, and then you go from there. Apparently, in the Avesta classical period no one would have dreamed of having a spiritual experience without resorting to drugs. ... Continued⬇

[@chuckheppner4384]

... It is now very clear that techniques of machine-human interfacing, pharmacology of the synthetic variety, all kinds of manipulative techniques, all kinds of data storage, imaging and retrieval techniques - all of this is coalescing toward the potential of a truly demonic or angelic kind of self-imaging of our culture... And the people who are on the demonic side are fully aware of this and hurrying full-tilt forward with their plans to capture everyone as a 100% believing consumer inside some kind of a beige furnished fascism that won't even raise a ripple. I think transcending our cultures is going to be extraordinarily necessary for our survival. I don't think we can carry our cultures through the keyhole of the stretch of the next millennium. Our culture takes us out of the body and sells our loyalty into political systems, into religions, into inanimate objects and machines, collections, so forth and so on. The felt experience of the body is what the psychedelics are handing back to us. This is what they have suppressed so long. This is why they are so afraid of the psychedelics, because they understand that once you touch the inner core of your own and someone else's being you can't be led into thing-fetishes and consumerism. The message of psychedelics is that culture can be re-engineered as a set of emotional values rather than products. This is terrifying news. Apparently there is a great discovery or insight which our culture is deliberately designed to suppress, distort, and ignore. That is that nature is some kind of minded entity. That nature is not simply the random flight of atoms through electromagnetic fields. Nature is not the empty, despiritualized , lumpen matter that we inherit from modern physics. But it is instead a kind of intelligence, a kind of mind. Our ability to destroy ourselves is the mirror image of our ability to save ourselves. Think about our dilemma on this planet. If the expansion of consciousness does not loom large in the human future, what kind of future is it going to be? The psychedelic experience is simply a compressed instance of what we call understanding, so that living psychedelically is trying to live in an atmosphere of continuous unfolding of understanding, so that every day you know more and see into things with greater depth than you did before. This is a process of education. The same organizational principles which called us forth into self-reflection have called forth self-reflection out of the planet itself. And the problem then is for us to suspect this, act on our suspicion, and be good detectives, and track down the spirit in its lair. And this is what shamans are doing. They are hunters of spirit. Drugs are about dulling perception, about addiction and about behavioral repetition...What psychedelics are about is pattern- dissolving experiences of an extraordinarily high or different awareness. They are the exact opposite of drugs. They promote questioning , they promote consciousness, they promote value examinations, they promote the reconstruction of behavioral patterns. If the ego is not regularly and repeatedly dissolved in the unbounded hyperspace of the Transcendent Other, there will always be slow drift away from the sense of self as part of nature’s larger whole. The ultimate consequence of this drift is the fatal ennui that now permeates Western Civilization. The human imagination, in conjunction with technology, has become a force so potent that it really can no longer be unleashed on the surface of the planet with safety. I do not think that the government, under the guise of some phony, alarmist, pseudo-scientific rhetoric, should attempt to control the evolution of consciousness. After all, if these things truly are consciousness-expanding, it doesn't take too much intelligence to realize that it is the absence of consciousness that is causing our flirtation with extinction and planetary disaster. Skywalker is a direct translation of the word shaman out of the Tungusic, which is where Siberian shamanism comes from. So these heroes that are being instilled in the heart of the culture are shamanic heroes. They control a force which is bigger than everybody and holds the galaxy together. It is curious that what these psychedelics do, on a scale of a community, is they release new ideas. . . . And that this is how culture moves forward. That culture is a phenomenon dependent on the generation of ideas, plans, notions, connections. So this is precisely what these compounds are doing. The immediate future of man lies in the imagination and in seeking the dimension where the imagination can be expressed. One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. They literally force the evolution of language. You cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. So if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. The great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. It boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind. The culture cannot evolve faster than the language. The language is the flashlight that shows the path. To my mind this makes psychedelics central to any political reconstruction, because these are the only force in nature that actually dissolve linguistics structures; lets the mechanics of syntax to be visible, allows the possibility for rapid introduction and spread of new concepts; gives permission for new ways of seeing; and this is what we have to do, we have to change our minds. The Internet is light at the end of the tunnel. I don't care if it's being used to peddle pornography, I don't care if it's being trivialized in a thousand ways. Anything can be trivialized. The important point is that it is leveling the playing field of global society. It is creating de-facto an entirely new set of political realities. None of the constipated, oligarchic structures that are resisting this were ever asked. Their greed betrayed them into investing in this in the first place without ever fully grasping what the implications of it were for their larger agenda. A global society is coming into being, a global society that is made out of information that was not intended to be ours, but is ours, by the mistaken invention of computers and the printing press, information is power, and information has spilled by the clumsy hands of the dominator culture so that the information is everywhere, never before has the situation been so fluid, we might be able to finally have a crack at this. The planet has a kind of intelligence, it can actually open a channel of communication with an individual human being. The message that nature sends is, transform your language through a synergy between electronic culture and the psychedelic imagination, a synergy between dance and idea, a synergy between understanding and intuition, and dissolve the boundaries that your culture has sanctioned between you, to become part of this Gaian super-mind What is needed is a spirit of boundary dissolution, between individuals, between classes, sexual orientations, rich and poor, man and woman, intellectual and feeling toned types. If this can happen, then we will make a new world. And if this doesn't happen, nature is fairly pitiless and has a place for us in the shale of this planet, where so many have preceded us." Terence McKenna

[@chuckheppner4384]

“We humans are wired for empathy by evolution, but when children grow up in dominator families they internalize this male over female template for relations early on. They then automatically apply it to other differences, whether based on race, religion, sexual orientation, and so forth. When the status and power of women is greater so also is the nation’s general quality of life; when they are lower, so is the quality of life for all. It is also more than likely that women invented that most fundamental of all material technologies, without which civilization could not have evolved: the domestication of plants and animals. In fact, even though this is hardly ever mentioned in the books and classes where we learn history of "ancient man", most scholars today agree that this is probably how it was. They note that in contemporary gatherer-hunter societies, women, not men, are typically in charge of processing food. It would thus have been more likely that it was women who first dropped seeds on the ground of their encampments, and also began to tame young animals by feeding and caring for them as they did for their own young. Anthropologists also point to the fact that in the primarily horticultural economies of "developing" tribes and nations, contrary to Western assumptions, the cultivation of the soil is to this day primarily in the hands of women. Both the mythical and archaeological evidence indicate that perhaps the most notable quality of the pre-dominator mind was its recognition of our oneness with all of nature, which lies at the heart of both Neolithic and the Cretan worship of the Goddess. Increasingly, the work of modern ecologists indicates that this earlier quality of mind, in our time often associated with some types of Eastern spirituality, was far advanced beyond today's environmentally destructive ideology. Now, perhaps nowhere as poignantly as in the omnipresent theme of Christ dying on the cross, the central image of art is no longer the celebration of nature and of life but the exaltation of pain, suffering, and death. For in this new reality that is now said to be the sole creation of a male God, the life-giving and nurturing Chalice as the supreme power in the universe has been displaced by the power to dominate and destroy: the lethal power of the Blade. And it is this reality that to our day afflicts all humanity --- both women and men. When we look closely, not only at what Jesus taught but at how he went about disseminating his message, time and again we find that what he was preaching was the gospel of a partnership society. He rejected the dogma that high-ranking men - in Jesus' day, priests, nobles, rich men, and kings - are the favorites of God. He mingled freely with women, thus openly rejecting the male-supremacist norms of his time. And in sharp contrast to the views of later Christian sages, who actually debated whether woman has an immortal soul, Jesus did not preach the ultimate dominator message: that women are spiritually inferior to men. Indeed, if we look closely at the art of the Neolithic, it is truly astonishing how much of its Goddess imagery has survived --- and that most standard works on the history of religion fail to bring out this fascinating fact. The Cretans’ more natural attitudes toward sex would also have had other consequences equally difficult to perceive under the prevailing paradigm, wherein religious dogma often views sex as more sinful than violence. As Hawkes writes, “The Cretans seem to have reduced and diverted their aggressiveness through a free and well-balanced sexual life.” Along with their enthusiasm for sports and dancing and their creativity and love of life, these liberated attitudes toward sex seem to have contributed to the generally peaceful and harmonious spirit predominant in Cretan life. The Goddess-centered art we have been examining, with its striking absence of images of male domination or warfare, seems to have reflected a social order in which women, first as heads of clans and priestesses and later on in other important roles, played a central part, and in which both men and women worked together in equal partnership for the common good. If there was here no glorification of wrathful male deities or rulers carrying thunderbolts or arms, or of great conquerors dragging abject slaves about in chains, it is not unreasonable to infer it was because there were no counterparts for those images in real life. And if the central religious image was a woman giving birth and not, as in our time, a man dying on a cross, it would not be unreasonable to infer that life and the love of life --- rather than death and the fear of death --- were dominant in society as well as art. The main take-home lesson from a careful study of nomadic forager partnership societies, re-enforced by the recent Nordic experience, is that humans are capable of living in egalitarian social systems where neither dominates the other, where violence is minimized, and where prosocial cooperation and caring typify social life. This image is not a utopian fantasy but rather a set of potentials, if not inclinations, stemming from our evolutionary heritage. In sum, the struggle for our future is . . . the struggle between those who cling to patterns of domination and those working for a more equitable partnership world. When the status and power of women is greater so also is the nation’s general quality of life; when they are lower, so is the quality of life for all. [If we pursue] a positive economic future...this will entail facing up to the fact that our 'masculine' militarism is the most energy-intensive entropic activity of humans, since it converts stored energy directly into waste and destruction without any useful, intervening fulfillment of basic human needs. Contemporary nations such as Sweden, Norway, and Finland, where women are half of the national legislatures, have more caring policies, less violence, and more environmentally sustainable policies. These are connections we must pay attention to if we are to build a better future for us all. I pray for a world where we live in partnership rather than domination; where "man's conquest of nature" is recognized as suicidal and sacrilegious; where power is no longer equated with the blade, but with the holy chalice: the ancient symbol of the power to give, nurture, enhance life. And I not only pray, but actively work, for the day when it will be so." Riane Eisler, The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future "Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other. Only the wounded physician heals... and then only to the extent he has healed himself. The future of mankind depends very much upon the recognition of the shadow. Shadow work is the path of the heart warrior.” Carl Jung "Take sex away from people. Make it forbidden, evil. Limit it to ritualistic breeding. Force it to back up into suppressed sadism. Then hand the people a scapegoat to hate. Let them kill a scapegoat occasionally for cathartic release. The mechanism is ages old. Tyrants used it centuries before the word "psychology" was ever invented. It works, too." Robert A. Heinlein

#SaveSoil “Agriculture makes people dependent on a few domesticated crops and animals instead of hundreds of wild food sources, creating vulnerability to droughts and blights and zoonotic diseases. Agriculture makes for sedentary living, leaving humans to do something that no primate with a concern for hygiene and public health would ever do: namely, living in close proximity to their feces. Agriculture makes for surplus and thus almost inevitably, the uneven distribution of surplus generating socio-economic status differences that dwarf anything that other primates cook up with their hierarchies. And from there it's just a hop, skip and a jump until we've got Mr. McGregor persecuting Peter Rabbit and people incessantly singing Oklahoma.” Robert M. Sapolsky, Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst “Psychedelics helped me to escape.. albeit momentarily.. from the prison of my mind. It over-rode the habit patterns of thought and I was able to taste innocence again. Looking at sensations freshly without the conceptual overly was very profound. We are sneaking psychedelics back into our society through research like the MDMA research that's going on, through the research for the use of marijuana for pain, through research with the dying [with psilocybin], and ultimately we will do the same kind of stuff about alcoholism, about prison rehabilitation, so on. I mean, its obvious that psychedelics, properly used, have a behavior-change psychotherapeutic value. But from my point of view, that is all underusing the vehicle. The potential of the vehicle is sacramentally to take you out of the cultural constructs which you are part of a conspiracy in maintaining. And giving you a chance to experience once again your innocence.” Ram Dass “The history of human use of plants, mushrooms, and animals for their psychedelic effects is far older than written history, and probably predates the appearance of the modern human species. When our individual life force enters our fetal body, the moment in which we become truly human, it passes through the pineal and triggers the first primordial flood of DMT. Later, at birth, the pineal releases more DMT. As we die, the life-force leaves the body through the pineal gland, releasing another flood of this psychedelic spirit molecule. A consensus has emerged that the vast majority of ritual ceremonies are concerned primarily with healing in a general sense. They exert influence on physical well-being, heighten identity, enhance interpersonal cohesion, reintegrate community into the environment, and mitigate perceived conflicts with supernatural powers. In spite of the cultural diversity of therapeutic institutions and practices, the fundamental healing principles show a good deal of cross-cultural uniformity. It is striking that our society has forgotten how critical LSD was in the early stages of the development of psychopharmacology, and that it continues to be a seminal contributor to the field today. It is reminiscent of the patriarchy “forgetting” the role of psychedelic plants in spiritual and religious settings. During the late 1940s through the late 1960s, hundreds of scientific papers and dozens of books, monographs, and scientific meetings discussed the latest in psychedelic drug research. Many of the key figures of academic psychiatry and pharmacology began their career in this field. Presidents of the American Psychiatric Association, chairmen of psychiatry departments, advisers to and members of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) --- all cut their teeth in the psychedelic research field. It was an exciting, well-funded, and creative time. Dobkin de Rios and Smith suggest that spiritual techniques for altering consciousness are typically repressed in state-level societies because they constitute a potential threat to the religious interpretations of those who hold social and religious power.” Rick Strassman, Inner Paths to Outer Space: Journeys to Alien Worlds through Psychedelics & Other Spiritual Technologies "Nobody can have your psychedelic experience for you; you just have to screw your courage up and raise the cup to your lips or smoke the pipe or whatever it is and face what's in there. No wonder psychedelics are threatening to an authoritarian religious hierarchy. You don’t need faith to benefit from a psychedelic experience, let alone a priest or even a shaman to interpret it. What you need is courage --- courage to drink the brew, eat the mushroom, or whatever it is, and then to pay attention, and make of it what you will. Suddenly, the tools for direct contact with the transcendent other (whether you call it God or something else) is taken from the hands of an anointed elite and given to the individual seeker. Think for yourself, and believe in yourself. Keep your skeptical antennae tuned in and in good working order at all times. We are free to develop our own hypotheses, which should be based in available evidence. When it comes to faith, have faith in yourself. And don't forget to love, laugh, be kind to each other. Don't take things so seriously, especially yourself. If the universe is a cosmic joke, remember to giggle. And remember to be astonished." Dennis McKenna

Bruce speaking some truths about life

[@dwaynemaroney7159]

I followed Grateful Dead for many years. They did 3 tours a year. Every year. They had a following of deadheads that went along for the ride. Every city that hosted a show would have their high schools flooded with LSD from the students going to the shows and interacting with the deadheads. I have heard theories about MK ultra and CIA involvement. Then I heard someone ask Bob Weir if it was true that he was a member of Bohemian Grove. Bob admitted that he was and didn't want to talk about it. That was a twilight zone moment for me. There is SO MUCH that we don't know about the real powers that be in this world. SO MUCH!!

[@mariewray446]

I can tell the nephew talks with the uncle as the conversation is so fluid. Nice - I love it.

[@cynthiaahart5065]

Wow, fabulous talk that walks us through the journey mankind took to avoid becoming who we now know, we truly are…the great-I Am~💗~

[@GorskiNunavut]

Love is the only power in this world, that does always good things.Everything else that gives sensation of power, including knowledge, csn be both , good and bad.

[@Christ60]

You are correct, Love is ultimate

So glad I stumbled on your channel, I love Bruce Lipton & have very personal experience with using entheogens & helping my mother through her late stage Parkinson's with both psilocybin mushrooms & San Pedro cactus.

Good Stuff! Lucky for us we are Humans 7.0 now and there will be no more backpedaling. Pluto in Aquarius, no one alive has ever experienced it. Last time was the French Revolution. Pluto = Death & Transformation. Gonna be a Great Year!

[@sweetgrassprincess]

Thanks Bruce. I love how you keep going and the areas you choose to explore. Your nephew is so full of knowledge. You are both great. 🍄😀 DMT is great. I know the body makes it, but taking it is amazing. It gave me answers within seconds to the questions that I had.

I was raised catholic … no more!!! This talk just made it more clear to me what I always felt it’s true. Also Anita Moorjani’s NDE made my soul to enjoy life and leave/ avoid church and religion.

Has anyone heard of amanita muscaria referenced as the holy grail because when it matures the cap takes a concave shape which holds rain water.??

[@DebbieBurns-y5e]

Great discussion! ❤

[@NarrelleChain]

I took LSD when I was 16 and it blew my mind, my mind was so expanded and everything was moving, the wall, coffee table and I watched a tree at the ⛱️ beach from my sisters balcony, a big tree grow and then die and over and over, it was like evolution, listened to the Beatles Let it Be and it was so profound and let it in and let it out, felt naked, like my soul was exposed, cried for hours and on and on, watched The Munsters on a cruise and was blown away they had the guts to be different; I took it about 5 times before I started having bad trips, but it expanded my mind, I could see into collective unconscious, people, adu.ts were weird and were wearing neurotic masks!❤❤❤

[@NarrelleChain]

Ps: there is a hell, in Anthroposophy it's called the 8th sphere where all inferior matter is re--emalgamated through the Saturn corridor according to Edgar Cayce; the secret societies kept this a secret until Madame Blavatsky was misinterpreted by ? and said it was the moon, it is the lower astral actually, this is the real esoteric christian teaching, we must strive to be real christians and grow with our hearts open grow with the lifestream, we must not diverge from our movement upwards towards the new earth, new jupiter otherwise we can devolve, Rudolf Steiner's teachings, he foresaw where technology would take us towards transhumanism and the inoculation!

[@evad8262]

[@Kittypaws90]

Wow. I just want to comment women still are very in touch with nature/chemistry. i’m not religious per se. i’ve gone from reading the Bible to reading the Quran. And there’s a lot of good information in those texts for sure. And what you guys said about all that was like it really kind of makes a lot of sense actually.Especially when you were talking about burning witches; in like burning what was known. Very interesting and insightful. Thank you for sharing

[@alohajenn]

[@joycemiller1935]

A pill to make you happy is why America is a broken sick country with drag addiction being a major chronic problem, especially among the young. If you’re not ready for the profound effect on your human psyche you can end up with a psychotic break down which is one of the side effects of taking this drug.

[@earthzeroapothecary]

A psychotic break can be necessary to break down the veil of the illusion and conditioning. Our modern culture would have you believe it's a bad thing because they don't want it to happen. If you understand what and why it's happening, the other side of the break is enlightenment.

[@joycemiller1935]

@@earthzeroapothecary I was around in the 1960s when psychedelic drugs made its entrance. Your statement is terrifyingly simplistic. My partner at the time was A resident in psychiatry when 18-year-olds would come in with schizophrenic breakdowns having experimented with psychedelic drugs. The rest of their lives they were on medication for psychosis. Touting that psychotic breaks can be good for you is the height of ignorance. What is even the greater height of ignorance is that a pill will turn you into an enlightened being. The American Way try a pill for instant gratification with the side effect of psychotic breakdowns. DUH!

[@ewa5027]

“A pill to make you happy” are Antydepresants which are opposite of healing. One on 5 American is on psychotropic drugs, the suicide is higher then ever before, why ???? Because there is no healing in psychiatry, there is only drugging people to oblivion.
