What is consciousness? Where does it originate from? Some say it resides in our brain and others believe we can project our conscious awareness anywhere we choose.

Shamanic cultures have accessed other dimensional realms for millennia and modern day seekers can use psycho-spiritual drugs as a shortcut to these spiritual places. But delving into other aspects of reality can be hazardous if we don’t understand or respect their sacred nature.

In this week’s podcast I discuss the scientific and spiritual nature of consciousness, psychic phenomenon and ask if the fraction of reality we are able to perceive through our five sense is the only reality available to us.

DMT: The Spirit Molecule From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U.S. Government-approved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected sixty volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics.
