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”
