The Future Is Your Brain on Drugs | Jamie Wheal on Impact Theory

[@CraveUX]

This book changed my life. I was able to propel myself from a junior position to senior level in less than a year

[@BlackDagestani]

"We're drowning in information and starving for motivation". I've used some of Jamie's research on my own videos. Very intelligent man! P.S. I LOVE UR INTROS TOM!

[@TomBilyeu]

Thank you, Alfred! And so glad you liked Jamie's interview!

[@jumaanecabrera8091]

Alfred Awosanya Great quote from this interview!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@herhomebook]

By far the most insightful and wonderful episode I have seen/heard thus far.

[@MarkusJunnikkala]

This went from a great informative and practical talk to a philosophical and spiritual one. Great work!

[@TomBilyeu]

Thank you!

[@djsvnstarr2473]

I'm Hungry Tom Keep Feeding Us This Powerful Information My Man!!! Thanks To Everyone Involved...

[@TomBilyeu]

Thanks, man! So glad you're digging the content! We will indeed keep it coming!

[@cee5794]

A really great progressive episode! well done! My personal life experience is for me the 100% confirmation of what Jamie Wheal is talking about :) I am thrilled to see people in his position pushing to use these chemical tools. Not letting them be put off by the fears of the abuse that spun off of it, and instead improve the world with it.

[@OsirisNin]

"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity." Brilliant. Explains so much of today. Can't help but think of all of the "passionate," loud activists who think, with such conviction, that they are infallible and correct.

[@barefootdiva7169]

Yes, absolutely makes sense. He’s right, and amazing man. I’ve been lucky to have mentors who integrated, movements, breathing, psychology, biofeedback machines and mystical healing. Super cool 😎 Been doing this for 30 years. I’ve done Groff work in the 90s but could never talk about it in public as it was taboo. One session was enough to wipe sway major trauma a suffered from childhood. Always loved this work.

[@matthewjfreeman75]

The intensity with which he explained his drive and desire to connect people to information offering the possibility of seeing life from a higher perspective where we are all connected helping one another to become better was nothing short of awesome... brilliant interview! Thank you for all of the incredible guests, your well thought out questions and for putting yourself out there for all to see, it's a beautiful thing Tom!

[@TomBilyeu]

Yeah, he was super raw and real. Loved it. Super inspiring to see how much he's trying to help at a global level. Fascinating approach.

[@BodyEpiphanies]

I really feel like all of your interviews deserve hundreds of millions of views as opposed to only 5 figure or 6 figure views. You do a tremendous job interviewing people, I've watched a good majority of your work and share it frequently. Thanks for dedicating your efforts to getting these conversations out to the public. It raises the collective step by step. Cheers man ^_^.

[@roxan773]

Can't believe this interview was in 2017. it's still relevant now.

[@epictetus9221]

Wow, that ending part.... Thanks so much, this whole video is pure gold.

[@bastkin1]

I was a little confused at first when you guys launched Impact after having momentum with Quest but after watching the material I get it. These guests are spot on and I love the content on the mind. It's blowing mine and as a long time student of meditation, the subject of expansion is something I have always wanted to learn more about. Side note, the V day episode with you and your wife Tom brought me back to why I married my wife. I was a little lost and as we are equals, I was becoming a little harsh in my expectations of her. Every episode has an ' ah' moment. Thanks bro.

[@TomBilyeu]

Wow, man. So glad the content has delivered value. I really loved doing that Valentine's Day ep and it's really cool that it gave you an insight. Thanks for commenting!

[@akshaygupta4279]

@Tom Bilyeu Thanks for the great work you're doing. I'm an anxiety sufferer myself and this restored my faith that I will find a cure sooner or later with psychedelics. More power to you!

[@TomBilyeu]

There is some awesome research being done in the area! Looks so promising!

[@joannadutton1754]

Thank you so much for making me aware of Jamie and his work. I stumbled onto this video by accident and couldn’t take my eyes off of it until the location of the book was disclosed. Thank you again for all the wonderful knowledge you share with the world !!! 🙏🏻

[@edithmc1182]

Looking forward to this new chapter Tom. Congrats for not holding to the past and keep up with what you think it’s best for you. I was so disrupted when I found out about the vid’s deleting like two days ago but I believe that you are up to something DIFFERENT AND GREAT! You are the man, you are a warrior! See you next interview!

[@TomBilyeu]

Thanks, Edi! I appreciate the support!

[@kellyholcomb3940]

I came in search of this one today after Jamie Wheal was referenced on AMA. Such and intriguing conversation, from flow states to using psychedelics to treat some mental illnesses! I'm in a psychiatry and mental health class right now and can't wait to bring this up and hear my professor's take on the matter.

[@printzmeta1]

"It’s - can I set down my burden long enough to step up to the high ground. To step up to the mountain. To look around and say “I see where we are and I see what needs to be done.”. It doesn’t matter whether I get the prize, it doesn’t matter whether my part is insignificant or pivotal. It’s just that I have to play it." starting at 41:54 Gave me chills hearing that. Thank You.

[@TomBilyeu]

He has of way of cutting right to the heart of insanely complicated stuff. He gave me the chills a couple of times as well.

[@momoves2599]

So true, that part made listen even closer; he’s unto something spectacular.

[@rossanapettersen]

This is mind blowing! Lots of amazing info. I really miss the little footnotes with the names of the books and additional info that you used to have in Inside Quest. Those were really helpful for us. Thank you Tom for organising this interview!

[@Meme033094]

40:00 mark almost brought me to tears he's just so passionate on the subject

[@TomBilyeu]

Right?!

[@Meme033094]

Tom Bilyeu Jamie and Jason Silva really got me reading some fantastic books and really got me out of a really dark place I owe my life to these guys

[@vladimirkozyrev3617]

Wow! This episode exceeded my expectations of it. Very good information. Thanks, Tom.

[@TomBilyeu]

So glad you liked it! I reeeeeeeally enjoyed this one!

[@dianamarianavarro-botero8108]

I loveeeeeee you KZbin channel!!!! Thanks again and again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@irshad7795]

Woah..You are killing it Tom. I hardly subscribe to any channels but i couldn't resist subscribing to your channel and i saw you personally reply back to peoples comments, that is really good. We are very alike ,We will meet pretty soon. Continue the awesome work

[@TomBilyeu]

Thanks for the sub, man. And I look forward to our paths crossing!

[@KathleenMcKay]

Thanks Tim, Jamie is currently 1 of 4 people I pay attention to when they speak!

[@PinkSallyProductions]

Wow! I feel like I've just woken up a bit by listening to Jamie Wheal. Although I've known for a long time that research into psychedelics & such was ongoing, hearing his insights has given me some hope that 'our brains on drugs' can be used for the betterment of humankind & our world, not just to derail it a little more. indeed, my meditation teacher, a Buddhist, has used his experiences with ayhuasca (sp?) to pass on great insights & awareness to his classes. Thanks again for yet another mindblowing (literally!) guest. Great show!

[@amerok3]

Yes, please bring him back. Moving, Inspiring, Enriching.

[@niraj4024]

it was one of the best interviews, i mean i dont remember i have watched anything 48 minutes or that much long on youtube, that kept me as much concentrated as this interview did.thanks for such incredibly helpful contents.

[@dianemaartens9089]

I agree "We're drowning in information and starving for motivation" spot on! Great interview! Bottom line we need to learn to motivate ourselves no one can really do that for us it's an inside job just as happiness is

[@kallekonttinen1219]

Glad I found this channel, I had no idea you were doing new videos. I was still just waiting for the insidequest videos.

[@TomBilyeu]

So glad you found us!!!

[@killthewall101]

holy shit.. these last 5 minutes sent shivers down my spine

[@TomBilyeu]

Love that!

[@dmitriivasiukov887]

I was really impressed by the depth of his knowledge on the subject. Looking forward to more quality content like this one.

[@TomBilyeu]

Me too! Jamie's knowledge is DEEEEEEEEP. On a LOT of topics. So enjoyed talking to him.

[@melovinci]

Thanks Tom for you endless list of Amazing guests.

[@leomartyros4369]

I am absolutely obsessed with Impact Theory.

[@francoishamel327]

Are you coming from a place of love or are you coming from a place of fear and control! WOW! I keep seeing and reading this everywhere, in what I read and in what I listen to. It's so so powerful. Once you understand that fear and control is dictatiing people's lives, it becomes much more easier to forgive and to show gratitude and no judgement. I experience so many feelings watching your videos, anger, gratitude, sadness, motivation, empowerement, etc. THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) (I started sharing more and more, that's the only thing I can do)

[@suaz94]

This is both figuratively and literally dope! :O Great interview, thanks for sharing :)

[@TomBilyeu]

Hahahaha! This is in contention for best comment ever. ;-)

[@MatrxBstr]

Tom! You are at cutting edge of information. The people you bring on your show are cutting edge. While listening to your guest on this show makes me want to challenge you and listeners. The challenge is to interview Zachary Hubbard of Gematria Effect News!

[@humanyoda]

Tom, please have a special episode (or maybe even a series of them) on psychedelics in which you obtain MUCH more information on benefits, risks, mechanism of action, etc.

[@TomBilyeu]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@danielpiatek]

I loved this interview.... Jamie is incredibly interesting, thanks for introducing me to him.

[@TomBilyeu]

Totally agree! Jamie is utterly fascinating! Glad you liked him as much as I did!

[@barreldreamz7852]

Soooooo GOOD! Would love it if he could come back to the show. My kind of conversation! As well as all the rest of your content ;). Thanks Tom

[@tejaK]

Wow, thank you so much, Jamie and Tom! You two really managed to bend the time.:)

[@TomBilyeu]

Glad you liked it!

[@ollidigitalz]

This is insane! I wish the interview was longer Jamie would talk more about what they do or what he knows about neuroscience. Still, it was an awesome episode, and I realized again that I want to know so much more. ;)

[@TomBilyeu]

Agreed. We could have gone on all day. He's a joy to talk to!

[@kyleernst2142]

This is a GOLD episode

[@timdouglas-theinspiredway4085]

When are you having Jamie back to talk on Relationships? Tom I have learned so much for your Impact Theory show...I have been telling everyone that will listen to go hear you out. It'd been so amazing to catch with you sometime!! Being Legendary my friend!

[@TomBilyeu]

Thanks, Tim! That means the world to me! I really appreciate it! In terms of Jamie, I try to space guests out. So let's round it to like 6 months. But that will be a fun conversation when it happens!

[@kellywoods5350]

...38:29...SPOT ON.... WELL SAID. Why am I just now discovering these two.... Loved it. Thanks

[@amandakrako]

Your videos induce flow state for me, I swear. Insane stuff, and awesome work that you're doing!

[@jasonreed1352]

Nearly insane insights, gentlemen. Thank you for sharing.

[@eldonmacwood]

I think I have a new favorite interview!

[@TomBilyeu]

Boom! You and a lot of other people! Jamie really delivered on this one!

[@rohopp]

Holy fucking shit. This is so fucking profound. I dont know if it is just me but this is absolutely beautiful and I think if you can really grasp the notion of what was being said in this one you will have a fucking earthquake moment. Simply amazing and life altering!

[@rohopp]

By the way Tom Bilyeu did this show change your view on psychedelic drugs and if yes are you now open to the possibilty of taking psychedelics one day? Would be really keen to know.

[@jaredsmith5671]

Roman, I'm going to ask Tom your question when we review this episode on After Impact live on Facebook at 1:30pm today! Check it out on Tom's page: facebook.com/tombilyeu/

[@TomBilyeu]

I totally agree!!! I really hope people get as much out of this episode as you did! It hit me the same way!!!

[@awibawa0229]

This podcast is one of the best podcast out there right next to Joe's rogan's, but why is it soo short????? Make it longer

[@foquslab8843]

I love this. Just ordered his book

[@scntillatedseed]

Incredible video! Awesome guest! Keep em coming!!

[@rushikeshchavhan6308]

The best interview I have seen Jamie is awesome

[@chrishorgan862]

the most real explanation of why we are where we are today. I can't or I can believe that it has received less than 60,000 views and that, right there, varifies that we are living in denial.

[@companiakarintias642]

THIS EPISODE IS STRAIGHT FUCKING FIRE YOU GUYS.

[@TheZGALa]

I am so excited about this work! Thank you for sharing. I have been experimenting with microdoses for a few years for snowboarding with amazing results.

[@TomBilyeu]

Iiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnteresting....

[@TheZGALa]

Both my parents were on LSD when I was conceived, and the first time I tried it, it felt like home to me. I no longer trip--or haven't in a very long time, however I am excited about the potential of microdosing...have had some good results playing music as well.

[@MichaelGordon]

#truth “The ability to get beyond false schism’s into a solution where you can hold onto more than one perspective.. That's what ecstasis gives us. It gives us the ability to wake up to what's possible... to grow up and mend where we were broken… and show up... and do that what's need to be done!!!“ Change the world! Make it happen! #Believe

[@TomBilyeu]

I absolutely love that quote!!! It hit me really hard as well.

[@elainekomis7937]

Thank You! Again, you are a human angel Jamie! 😊😇

[@TomBilyeu]

Indeed he is! ;-)

[@keepingmypromises6970]

Thank you Tom for saving my day. #Backontrack

[@TomBilyeu]

Love this comment! And love your username! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@CeLiA_ABC]

Didn't realise you're uploading content to this channel of yours until today, you should upload a notification video on Inside Quest to update fans of this. Didn't know you have a new podcast channel either. Love from all the way from Perth, Aus!

[@TomBilyeu]

Glad you found us!

[@robertmclean2812]

YES! YES !! I so feel where he is and love to find others of a like mind. Glimpses of Yellow level (spiral dynamics) are life changing .

[@TomBilyeu]

Glad you liked it! Spiral dynamics? Gonna have to look that one up. Thanks for commenting!

[@daxx299]

Hi Tom, as an ardent fan of your interviews, I'm extremely disappointed that you've taken down all the videos of Inside Quest. It added a ton of value to my life and I kept rewatching some of my favourite interviews. As of now, good job with Impact Theory, love the show, but I really feel let down . I bet every single one of your subscriber feels the same. I genuinely hope the videos of Inside Quest are re-uploaded.

[@TomBilyeu]

I share you pain on this one. I wasn't part of the decision to pull them down, but I recognize how hard it is to run a business. I have to believe that they are doing what they believe is best for the brand long term. Looking at the change it looks like they are trying to focus their content around physical transformations and fitness and nutrition in general. That will certainly speak to their core audience.

[@daxx299]

Thank you for the honest reply. Appreciate it. I'm very thankful for Impact Theory now :)

[@jawhnay]

Hi Tom! I started following you since Inside Quest and I have to agree with Dhanush. From your explanation, I understand why the videos were taken down, but I don't see why it was necessary. It may not have added value in the form of physical transformations, fitness, and nutrition, but I'm sure many people in the core audience going through a transformation aren't looking only to improve the physical aspects of their life. Overall, I believe those videos stuck to the core principle of you and your team which was to add value and help people improve their lives. Is there anyway to access the previous videos that were hosted on Inside Quest? Also, I'm glad you didn't stop making these types of interviews after Inside Quest. Great job with Impact Theory!

[@vivekkank821]

Another great video thank you for all the knowledge

[@TomBilyeu]

So glad you liked it!

[@5thatdude]

Another amazing video !

[@TomBilyeu]

So glad you liked it!

[@dianamarianavarro-botero8108]

Wow! .... I have to listening twee this show! ... when above my head the first time

[@TomBilyeu]

Jamie is worth listening to several times! I have to look up half of what he says! Haha!

[@sarahabbab2302]

I freakin love this episode, Tom and team thank you so much I took so many amazing notes but I feel like watching the episode again cause there was so much more I can write or take a moment to understand. will absolutely get stealing fire and read it when I finish the power of myth

[@TomBilyeu]

That's so awesome to hear! I'm really glad you liked the episode! Jamie is soooooo insightful.

[@tommeakin1732]

41:49 Serious point about this: Hate and fear always comes from love. I propose that even those rare people who act from a position of *pure* hatred (the complete nihilists who only want the world to burn), are only in that position because what they love has been destroyed and taken away from them in their lives. So many people use the "the answer is love" cliche; and I think only a tiny percent of those people don't hate or strongly dislike something. The idea that "that group over there" is coming from a position of hatred, and we're coming from a position of love strikes me as a very naive perspective (not saying Jamie's saying this btw). I do think it's actually possible to come from a position of *pure* love, but I don't actually know what that looks like in the real world. I kind of think that might just look like inaction. There's a good reason why our default natural state isn't one of pure love. Pure love might just make you realise that the universe is doing *exactly* what it wants to be doing, and nothing is wrong or a problem and nothing is more or less deserving of the love that you're going to give haha

[@ramzic]

Wow, goosebumps, goosebumps after goosebumps, I cant fathom how insane one subject let alone moving on to another then another and another. Probably the only channel on KZbin I actually have a notification for. Thanks Tom.

[@TomBilyeu]

Thanks, Ramzi! What an awesome comment. So glad the content is delivering value. Really appreciate you being a part of the community!

[@codydaley9036]

"Wow Wow, Jamie Wheal, incredible expansive perspective, on the core fundamental truths existing within each of our skin bags." In Japanese culture Oku, the hidden psychological layers beyond the skin's surface. We are all equally vulnerable, experiencing unprecedented exponential changes, cultural/political/educational/corporeal establishments are dissolving/fragmenting all around us. Adopting the Feeling of discomfort, as if a nice Persian rug has literally been ripped from under our feet. A rude awakening, triggering a response, to play apart, step up. This is going to involve placing political/religious separatism aside, toward greater human collaboration in rebuilding an interconnectedness of oneness and love. Between all global citizens riding spaceship Earth around this expansive and fantastical universe.

[@TomBilyeu]

Wow. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful response.

[@seefinish_]

Great lessons . Thanks 🙏

[@Aer0xander]

This episode was pure fire! Or rather flow :p

[@TomBilyeu]

Haha! So glad you liked it!

[@MUSIKIDTV]

40:11 onward was the best description of what's going on in the country the mythologies are slamming against each other. Nicely stated.

[@TheFedjaHadzic]

Woah! Where have all the Inside Quest videos gone? :(((

[@nikoprim8141]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I was just going through them too!!! Dear Tom, why did you delete them, including the website? I know you changed to the brand to Impact Theory to keep it separate from Quest, but delete all this content without any warning or notification? They will probably be too big to be put into a Drive or Dropbox, not considering the sheer time to reupload them. BUT HOW CAN WE GET THIS CONTENT?

[@franciscominaca3239]

Say what? No way... =(

[@franciscominaca3239]

***** upload them 3D be a hero

[@franciscominaca3239]

Just now I was wondering why would they do what seems to be a dick move.

[@XxBergyxX]

Inside quest get mad with Tom because of money and thats the result.

[@TheDezo0]

Nice. I've probably asked this all over, but where are all the inside quest videos?

[@maxwiili]

ThaNyneTray I know right, what happened? was he sued into removing them from his channel.

[@TheDezo0]

Maxwell Kambona I hope not. They might be trying to move the IQ videos to Impact Theory I think. at least that's what I hope. The interviews, the IQ power ups...I need those back

[@marvintampus5578]

Thanks for this episode Tom! I like this part: are you coming from the place of love? or from the place of fear and control?

[@ShinkaTV]

Very interesting. I'll add that book to the short list. I'm like you Tom - very drug averse, but open minded enough to look at a map to greatness. We'll see what journey ends up happening.

[@TomBilyeu]

It's a good book! Let me know what you think!

[@bebberley1150]

Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@TomBilyeu]

Glad you liked it!

[@priscanemger783]

The host looks like the nicest guy in the world. I really like his kind personality, he rocks! 😆😀👍👍

[@jumaanecabrera8091]

Oh yes! First comment! I'm ready to soak this episode in.

[@TomBilyeu]

Hope you liked it!

[@jumaanecabrera8091]

Tom Bilyeu loved it! His description of the real difference is wether we come from a place of love or from a place of fear is the true difference; Not all this other false separations. How we have a chance to use this knowledge to bring democracy, love, decency. SO POWERFULLY SAID.

[@DanielCasasOfficial]

Incredibly interesting, thank you for this interview! I'll definitely be getting in to that book.

[@warriorsofsuccess9324]

Damn. I will be watching this a few times!! Amazing!! Shared.

[@junarosedinglasa732]

thanks tom

[@TomBilyeu]

Truly my pleasure!

[@ssjot]

Who else was in flow while watching this?!

[@TomBilyeu]

I was certainly in flow during the conversation!

[@TheTarbita]

Ssjot to me it felt more like a roller coaster between ahas and noways, definitely in flow, so much to learn and here we are!

[@DJTimelessOfficial]

100% in flow!!

What does "off label" mean? 27:45 regarding TMS

Here, here, well said Jaimee (re left v right)...I will/have begun pursuing...tnx!

[@PETEWINDimproveprogressempower]

...very very interesting stuff! Thanks

[@diggdeepfitnessnutrition]

I noticed that many of the videos on the Inside Quest channel now say "private video." Is there something wrong in my settings or have these videos been changed to private? I have some saved in a playlist, and they are no longer accessible. Are they only available through this channel now?

[@sala8053]

Impact theory keep it coming

[@ChrisBarry95]

This was interesting. I can definitely see ups and downs to accessing an altered state of consciousness. I thought it was a key point that it's not about numbing or escape, but healing and showing up in real ways to unite and advance love. I still think Jesus does this better, but to be fair I've never tried a dentist light cortex ray gun thingy.

[@TomBilyeu]

Haha! I actually laughed out loud at the ray gun line! That you for that! ;-)

[@kbeetles]

Do I detect a controversy in Jamie's passionate plea for us to go back to being human and his assertion that we cannot go back to the imagined good old times of nature's abundance and pristine state because it never existed?

[@richardeick3232]

This has me thinking on so many different levels. Incredible.

[@TomBilyeu]

Love that! It had me doing the same!

[@lolamartinez6281]

Who else notices that Tom is has improved by lightyears as a host

[@NextLevelMeNow]

@tombilyeu Tom you have got to explore this. Being the curiosity cat the you are these experiences will really enhance your quest to life and self discovery. You can get there with meditation but it is faster with cannabis or psychedelics. Your mind will be blown~!

[@Innertruth_official]

This episode was epic, my field of interest is very well explained by this man!

[@TomBilyeu]

That's awesome! So glad you liked it!

[@riacewarrior23]

I don't know if it's just me because my job is cinematography, but the gazillion camera angles kinda took me a little bit out of focusing on the information and instead start admiring the cinematography:)) I think it's unnecessary in my point of view, but who am I to judge :) Nice work as always.

[@kdash222007]

Whoa!! This guy is just something else....im buying stealing fire!!

[@AaronMartinProfessional]

Is that a Storm Freerun shirt Tom is wearing???!

[@em11111]

Talk therapy isn't necessary if you use hypnosis. The brain can rewire quickly with Hypnotherapy and drugs might not be necessary. Why don't they do more hypnosis work?
