I played late medieval music, Renaissance, early Baroque, and played classical period music and romantic and contemporary. I've experienced playing these things. I played jazz. I played progressive rock. I played bluegrass and blues. What you get at the end is that music is impacting you differently. Are you closer to the laws of physics, to the harmonic series or not?
Then you're going to get entertainment. You're going to get an industry, no longer music that... take you to God closer. Those who did it best in religion, in my opinion, and that took me many years to understand, are Quranic chants in Islam and the Greek Orthodox with Byzantine chants. Gregorian chants of the Catholic Church also deal with modes, but they're not as sophisticated.
So these modes that the ancient Greeks had music very similar and impacted, influenced by, and influenced also Turkish classical music and Arabic classical music. So this is why I was saying that the creator of civilization, West Asia, preserved a very ancient, sophisticated musical system that Plato was trying to talk about without directly talking about it.
to give someone at some point in the future this message, and we are discovering it 22 centuries later. In the same way that the Gnostics wrote books, buried them in the sand, were discovered two big set of books. The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in Qumran by the Dead Sea, and the Nag Hammadi Library in southern Egypt. Nag Hammadi is the name of the region.
And they told us about a lot of crazy things. God that we follow, Jehovah, is the demiurge. We have not been following the right God. The Gospel of Thomas and many things about... parasitic forces plaguing the human mind, so iconic forces.
The guiding force seemed to be music and harmony, but something within us has driven us away in the same way we created glyphosate and GMO and tried to improve on nature, based on ignorance, based on deliberate attempt, or based on interest in profit. We need to take this very seriously because this is, I believe, what has crippled the evolution of humanity.
Driven by trauma, driven by separation from the servant, from the real God, soul, different God, and then we have science that is reductionist and wearing an invisible straight jacket trying to do its best. And we come with throw it away and go and be native. No, no, let's stop doing that. We all have bits and pieces of the truth. Are we using them in a following resonance harmony? So music...
need to be taken seriously. And when you go into sound healing experience or sound bath, you are receiving sound coming from instruments that allow you to hear these harmonics in a clearly audible way, and these harmonics are notes that humans seek and they play whenever they can or sing, but we are tied down to a system that's trying to quantize things and we're trying to exit it.
And you're being reharmonized But the more you pay attention to it, because the harmonic series exists for a variety of different reasons to guide you back toward the logos, if you use it properly. And when you use psychedelics, what psychedelics do, they're amplifiers. Stan Grof called them amplifiers. They are amplifiers. They're not the real medicine.
I believe, based on practice and based on deep research and over... With 20 years, 30 years of fieldwork in over 40 countries and studies that I've done and hundreds of experiences, they amplify the power of music and sound and make you dissolve. The Sufis do the same thing. They go into state of alfana, total dissolution of the ego. The Indians do it. They call it bhava and rasa.
This is something that everyone is doing. So psychedelics get the mind out of the way. disconnect you from the default mode network, the egoic mind, who we think we are, that was created based on parental imprinting, society, culture, religions as operating systems, our habits, our interests, our education, the language we use. But all of that creates a wiring.
So psychedelics disconnect us from that and seem to allow us to tap into an aspect of the self that is obstructed by the education, the indoctrination, the belief. the social engineering, the ideas we have. And now there's plenty of evidence that we are breaking away from the establishment.
People come and outsource the establishment's transmission to coming and watching and listening to your podcast and many podcasts. So people are starting to design this. So we have something that wants to wake up, that wants to change the story, and curiosity is driving us. But the more aware, the more multidisciplinary, the more aware of what is it that we're trying to heal from, what...
are the powerful tools. Why do we call something medicine when it's not really acting as medicine? Because technologies like psychedelics, the person is hacking their operating system. They better know what they're doing. You just need one psychotic episode for the person to close the door on these, if they come back, on these most powerful tools. We need to keep them as allies.
We need to understand them. with humility, with deep understanding that the shamanic tribes have a story, but the story is not exactly what is that. We need to put things together, and we need to help them with our science, with our spirituality, and our knowledge of so many things. We have a lot to learn. Ignorance is not a bliss. It's bliss in the first stages, but it's the biggest curse.
So we come back to knowledge as the ultimate power. But I believe, come back again, the most powerful, reliable source of powerful tools and technology is sound, is pure harmony. I just told you about a bunch of different examples.
I wish I have several days to take you deep into that, but I encourage people to look deep into it in an authentic way and to avoid hooey and hokey stuff and the tendency of talking about the power of sound and the spirit of sound without making any substance. That's the human condition.
You were spot on, yes. Okay. They guide you back.
They guide you back. They show you a signal. They remind you where a signal is. Remember... Reality has been driven by, the best way I can describe it is noise, static, eagerness, anxiety, fear, these unhealthy, we call them lower vibrational states. Raise your vibration is a sentence you hear a lot in pop spirituality.
It's true, but people talk about it, they may not know how to go to it, and what does that kind of mean? What should it boil down to? So when you're playing the didgeridoo, to explain to people listening, watching, the instrumentalist, and didgeridoo comes from Australia,
