Psychedelics, mysticism, and near death experiences - Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation
This week I am joined by Curtis Childs who is a follower of the mystic and philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg. Swedenborg was a prominent scientist of the 18th century who began to have visions which sound exactly like those exactly like those experienced when taking DMT or other psychedelic substances.
In this video I talk about some of the visions and archetypes that frequently show up in my DMT or ayahuasca breakthrough experiences, and how I interpret them in order to find the deeper meaning.
My intention here is not to give a definitive X=Y but rather to show the kind of thought processes I use to understand and integrate the imagery within the journey.
The CGI clips I use in this video to illustrate the visions are by artist Dan Slutz - https://campsite.bio/hypnagogist
A quick shoutout to my 12 year old daughter Millie who did the artwork for my avatar and the flashing psychedelic symbols you see in the video and thumbnail.

Fresh from our recent panel at the The Los Angeles Medicinal Psychedelics Society Symposium (LAMPS) I will be joined by my friend James W Jesso to continue our discussion on our role as YouTubers/Bloggers in the psychedelic renaissance, along with our general thoughts of what we picked up from the other speakers at the conference.
We will be taking questions from the audience, so if there is anything you would like to ask us you can do so in the live chat. Hope you can join us!

Its been almost 1 year since my first video upload which was all about rapé, and so this seemed like a good time to do another video on this topic!
Today I test out some of the rapé I had brought back with me from Peru, and how I think it compares to the stuff that I pick up here in Europe. All my previous rapé's have been bought from various hippy markets, so I wanted to see how it would match up against authentic Peruvian stuff.

I am joined once again by fellow psychonaut Josie Kinz, creator of the Subjective Effect Index and host of her own YouTube channel (links below).
Josie and I have a fascinating conversation mainly on the topic of materialism and how that is compatible with concepts such as spirituality and theories around the source of consciousness.
Josie's Youtube channel can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/c/Josikinz

In this video I catch up with psychedelic researcher Andrés Gómez Emilsson from the Qualia Research Institute to discuss his theories around consciousness being a collection of interacting bubbles of experience, and how psychedelic substances like 5MEO DMT affect those bubbles.
We talk about many other subjects such as the differences between substances like 5MEO and DMT, maximizing human well being, and whether supplements can help reduce psychedelic anxiety, or even if such anxiety should be avoided.
Here are the links to the research tools I mention in the intro

WTF does "integration" even mean in the context of psychedelics? Well in this video I hope to unpack what is becoming a new-age buzzword, into a useful and practical process that brings some positive benefits from your psychedelic experiences, or can help you recover from a bad trip.

After a pretty deep experience with 5 MEO DMT this is my reaction as I come back into my body
