We spend our entire lives pretending to be something we think we really are—until one day the mask slips. In this live Facebook conversation we explore what happens when identity unravels, how negative self-talk might simply vanish, and how the body keeps the score even when the mind lets go. From Shakespeare's stage to the Bahiya Sutta, from catastrophic thinking to kundalini energy, we examine the deepest taboo in the human coll...

On what would have been my father’s 86th birthday, I found myself reflecting not just on loss, but on the nature of belief itself—and how our attachments to ideas can become the very weapons that tear us apart.

In this live episode of Sunday Zen, we dive deep into the themes of trust, surrender, and the Threads of Awakening model introduced by Dr. Pierce Salguero. I've been reflecting on how traditional spiritual models can leave us feeling lost, stuck, or even scared, and how Pierce's approach offers a more inclusive framework that resonates with my own experiences. We share insights on the different threads—emptiness, energy, unity, a...

Dr. Pierce Salgue...

Powerful medicines like 5-MeO DMT, N,N-DMT, and salvia divinorum can be used not simply to bypass our current experience, but rather to help us un-journey right back here and now...to the non-dual realization of JUST this infinite moment. Psychotherapist and psychedelic guide Mira Funk shows us how. Video version here. This video may be a bit intimidating, but luckily I decided to use these medicines myself under Mira's guidance s...

I tried 3 of the most powerful psychedelics known: 5-MeO DMT, N,N-DMT, and salvia divinorum via vaporized, oral, and (*cough*) other routes...all over 3 days.

Here's our pre-journey 4 hour deep dive into these medicines and how they might point back to the non-dual n...
