Pablo Lopez on 5-MeO-DMT, Human Development and Sexuality
#284
04/08/2024

My guest this week is Pablo Lopez, a psychotherapist in Spain, who is interested in how the nonduality and energetics of the 5-MeO-DMT experience relate to human development, egoic blocks, sexuality, and more. We have a wide-ranging conversation on these and other topics in this interview. Due to its length, the last 3rd of the conversation has been posted to my Patreon page exclusively for my Patrons.

Also, as a special treat this week, we've got the track "Love is the Law" from musician Coren Smith who has just released his newest album, "Divine Will". The album...


Facilitating 5-MeO-DMT, Appendix D: The Obsolescence of Traditional Theology
#283
04/01/2024

This final section from the audiobook of Facilitation 5-MeO-DMT is one of my original contributions to the anthology. In this appendix, I discuss how, in my opinion, the reality of the nondual experience via 5-MeO-DMT renders all forms of traditional theology, speculation, doctrine, and dogma obsolete, as we all have a reliable method of encountering the full nondual nature of the self as the Unitary Being for ourselves, where no religious or doctrinal middle-man is necessary. As "The God Molecule," 5-MeO-DMT allows us the possibility to confirm for ourselves the true nature of being/God/reality/The Self, which...


Exploring the Science of Psilomethoxin with Adam McKay and Ian Benouis
#282
03/25/2024

A few weeks ago, The Church of the Sacred Synthesis released information to the public that their year-long research into the chemistry of their sacrament, the novel compound of Psilomethoxin (4-HO-5-MeO-DMT), had yielded promising results. To help us understand what they've done and what they've found, I've invited their science officer, Adam McKay, and Ian Benouis to join me in a 3-way conversation about the research, the results, and where they're going from here. Just a reminder to my listening audience: I am not a chemist! Adam presents as a careful researcher and his findings seem interesting and...


Facilitating 5-MeO-DMT, Appendix B, Best Practices by The Conclave
#281
03/18/2024

With this next selection from the audiobook for Facilitating 5-MeO-DMT, we have appendix B with The Conclave's contribution on "Best Practices." In creating the anthology, my intention was to document how different people around the world work with and serve 5-MeO-DMT without evaluation or critique, but at the suggestion of The Conclave, I felt that including their "Best Practices" document would be a nice addition as an appendix to the book. The full audiobook is available at Amazon, Audible, and the Apple Bookstore. New interview next week!

Entheogenic Religious Rights lawyer, Greg Lake, returns to the Entheogenic Evolution Podcast this week to discuss a pro bono case he's currently litigating in Detroit where a Black-run entheogenic church has been raided and shut down. Greg tells us all about the case and why he feels it's important for broader issues in religious freedom. If you're interested in supporting Greg's pro bono work, then I encourage you to visit his Patreon Page

#279
03/04/2024

We are now into the appendices for the audiobook of Faciliating 5-MeO-DMT. Appendix A is one of my own contributions and is "Integrating 5-MeO-DMT: Embodying Your Relationship to Yourself as the Divine." The sharing of this selection just so happens to coincide with the release of my newest book, 5-MeO-DMT Integration: Embodying Nonduality is Not What You Think - Education and Empowerment for Working with the God Molecule, which is now available in paperback and ebook on Amazon and Kindle, and also as a full-color PDF at my Patreon Shop. The new book is basically a fully-fleshed out expansion...

Starting in late March, TheUnchurch University is offering an 8-month weekly training program for those who are looking to facilitate with 5-MeO-DMT.
