I will say, as important as it is to experience “ego death,” it is also important to not overdo it. Having a strong Ego is truly important for survival, especially with how many threats are around us. It’s like taking antibiotics, you don’t want to completely kill off the good bacteria that are critical to the healthy functioning of your whole body. Rather, keeping everything in balance is always key!

I very much agree with your article and have been saying much the same for many years. I recently spoke about this at Breaking Convention. The title of my talk: Colonising the Sacred, the Biopolitics of Psychedelic Healing. I like what you're doing with Psygaia and if there's any way I could be involved in a professional capacity, please do let me know. Thanks, Giulio https://ravegeneration.substack.com/p/colonising-the-sacred-the-biopolitics?r=43vcnc

Awesome! Thanks Giulio. I will give your essay a read. I am also happy to meet via Zoom to explore potential opportunities for Psygaia collaboration.

I am working on a grant proposal now as I am incorporating as a nonprofit in Canada and will start looking for funding opportunities soon.

I believe that there has always been a set of people (and other creatures) who experience psychedelics. It seemed more obvious to me in the 60s than now, but then I rediscover people like you, and I realize the Light still burns. 🙏🏽♥️☮️🖖🏽🍄💫
