Zach West chats with David J. Brown, a science writer and psychonaut; Rachel Turetzky, a clinical psychologist; and Doug Wingate, a doctor of Chinese medicine. They explore the groundbreaking concepts in their book, discussing the evolution of consciousness through psychedelic experiences. Highlights include the transformative potential of psychedelics, the psychic circuit of consciousness, and the unique applications in Chinese medicine. The conversation also touches on personal development, telepathy, and holistic healing methods, offering profound insights into the multidimensional self.
The eight circuit model of consciousness, discussed by the guests, serves as a framework for understanding personal development and healing through various states of awareness.
The podcast emphasizes the transformative potential of psychedelics in facilitating metaprogramming, allowing individuals to reprogram negative mental patterns and enhance self-awareness.
The conversation highlights Jenny Wade's holonomic theory, suggesting that interconnected consciousness influences personal development, particularly through experiences before birth and their therapeutic implications.

New Book Releases and Collaborations
The hosts announce the release of two new books, 'Beyond Chaos and Beyond: The Best of Trajectories' and 'Eight Circuit Ascension: The Multidimensional Self in Healing and Evolution.' The latter features insights from authors David J. Brown, Rachel Turetsky, and Doug Wengate, who discuss the eight circuit model of consciousness. They provide their backgrounds, emphasizing their extensive experience in psychology, neuroscience, and psychedelics, highlighting how their personal journeys led them to explore the eight circuit model and its applications. This model serves as a framework for understanding various states of consciousness and their implications for personal development and healing.
The Eight Circuit Model Explained
The discussion delves into the eight circuit model, which was popularized by Timothy Leary and includes circuits related to basic survival, emotional bonding, and psychic intelligence. Each circuit represents different stages of human consciousness, with Circuit Six relating to metaprogramming and psychic phenomena. The guests explore how psychedelics and magical practices can enhance experiences associated with these circuits, notably how they can help individuals transcend their previous conditioning and allow for self-discovery and reprogramming. Moreover, they provide personal anecdotes that illustrate how psychedelics have helped them access higher states of consciousness and explore the model's potential therapeutic effects.
Metaprogramming and Its Therapeutic Applications
The concept of metaprogramming is discussed in relation to the sixth circuit, where individuals can become aware of their programmed beliefs and trauma from prior life experiences. The guests emphasize that psychedelics can facilitate this awareness, allowing for the reprogramming of negative mental patterns and enhancing self-understanding. Specific techniques such as journaling and reality testing are recommended to help integrate this awareness into everyday life. The conversation also highlights the importance of ethical considerations and proper frameworks when applying these concepts in therapeutic settings, focusing on both personal and professional growth.
Holonomic Theory and Developmental Psychology
The podcast introduces Jenny Wade's holonomic theory, which provides a unique perspective on consciousness evolution, suggesting that all parts of consciousness are interconnected. The guests relate this theory to the eight circuit model and explore how personal development can be influenced by experiences before birth, particularly highlighting Stanislav Grof's work on the impact of prenatal experiences. They argue that understanding these early influences can lead to deeper insights into one's psyche and inform therapeutic practices. The discussion calls for a more comprehensive exploration of these themes in both academic and clinical contexts.
DMT Entities and Expanded States of Consciousness
The conversation shifts toward the intriguing phenomenon of entities encountered during DMT experiences, where users report consistent interactions with various intelligent beings. The guests detail research findings indicating that these encounters might suggest a shared objective reality rather than purely subjective experiences. DMT's potential to facilitate access to higher states of consciousness and insight into the nature of reality itself is emphasized. By examining these encounters through the lens of the eight circuit model, the hosts propose that such experiences may play a crucial role in understanding the depth and complexity of human consciousness and its evolution.
