Episode Quotes
“When I’m 25 and doctors were telling me that they want to put me on drugs, I didn’t want to be put on any of these drugs for the rest of my life. If I have a problem I want to deal with it. At the time I thought I had a disease. I wanted to cure whatever disease I had. It turns out that it was anxiety”
“Instantly I was transported to ancient India…Right after I knew that I needed to go back. For me it was this deeply healing experience. This major reset and I would feel so light coming out of it” (DMT Experience)
“They call DMT the spirit molecule. It is connection to God and you are connected to your highest self”
“If you can manage to keep your heart open in hell you will learn so much about yourself and evolve. I learned to sit there with my heart open when I was thrown in a fire of hell”
