Before I had my first psychedelic experience in 2013, I was stuck. It was bad. A pretty brutal existence of constant fear, worry, indecision, and grave mistrust in myself and others. To hide my feelings and to better fit in, I hid, masking my emotions with lots of substance abuse, numbing away the pain. Although, having accomplished what many would deem the “American Dream,” I lived a life without hope. I still gave in to despair, absent the spirit of gratitude. 

I couldn’t see it then but was caught in a webbing of negative feedback loops, projections of childhood trauma, and at the mercy of rigid unbreakable patterns. As psychedelic enthusiast Dr. Peter Attia MD says, “Sometimes we can’t talk ourselves out of something we didn’t talk ourselves into.” While I had tried everything to quiet my mind, nothing worked like psychedelics. It’s still a bit strange to think: these misunderstood medicines give us access to the inner working of the mind; that’s right, curtains of our subconscious minds peeled back. Often it's not pretty, but it’s honest. To see our mess objectively is a true blessing. If my words, thoughts, and actions created my troubled reality, well, then I can clean it up and create anew with more purposeful words, thoughts and actions. 

This unconventional healing is very empowering: Seeing is indeed believing. From this objective vantage point provided by psychedelics, we have a level of awareness normally not present. And from this elevated state of being, revelation and insights abound, we can make proper adjustments to our day-to-day life, habits, and routines, to be healthy, happy, and strong. 

As a young boy, we had Nintendo come online. During my teenage years, I was a fierce gamer. So in complete disbelief, to stumble upon the real-life reset button was GRACE—an instant competitive advantage. In time, I’ve come to find that the reset button is also the turbo button. Flow. Who is say how we use these Sacred medicines of antiquity? Compounds that derive from nature, that our most esteemed scientific, educational institutions have green-lighted? I take cognitive liberty very seriously, and you should too. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is promised to us all, and you can’t have that without Mind/Body/Spirit harmony. Psychedelic medicines helped me reclaim my agency and sovereignty. And from my heart-space, I’ve completely redesigned my life from the ground up. All of this has been a challenging and arduous climb, but a worthy fight indeed. Overhauling my old ways has put everything into question and has gifted a surprising comfort and depth to my familial relationships and friendships; how I relate to everyone and everything, and the natural world: Intentionality, Presence, Forgiveness, Letting Go.

Many years later, my dominant emotion is Joy. I’ve come to know a meaningful purpose and a healthy vibrancy I would have never thought possible. 

I’ve come to know an inner peace that is truly beyond words.
