Sharing transcendent experiences can lead to unexpected connections but also raises questions about consent. Experiences like using the Lucia light highlight the differences in intensity and effectiveness of various mind-enhancing tools and technologies. The practice of engaging with such devices shows a growing interest in exploring consciousness and mental wellness.
In this deep and wide-ranging dialogue with Matt Xian from the Xian Archive podcast, I share my testimony of how the conscious use of psychedelics helped liberate me from issues that just wouldn’t budge by other means. I differentiate the way I used substances earlier in my life from how I choose to engage with these medicines today, and I do my best to explain in words why 5-MeO-DMT is in a category all its own.
We also discuss sound and light technologies as adjuncts to psychedelic journeys—or journeys in themselves, as well as EMF sensitivity and tools you can use to protect yourself.
