But for me...

Like my full ego death through the Bufo Toad was fundamentally the most important part of me learning to do what I do.

Because in that experience, it created enough space between me and all my beliefs.

You know, it's that like that neuroplasticity that gets created in those moments afterwards where you can actually kind of see things.

You can kind of see the forest from the trees.

And if you never have that experience, then, like, this is something people talk about all the time, right, is the whole thing, the ego is the enemy.

It's like, well, it depends what you're considering the ego because you can't get rid of the ego.

If the ego dies, then you're just in the oneness, right?

So you need the ego.

We have to build it up.

And I think for fighters especially, like, they need massive egos, but they need healthy egos, egos that are programmed to succeed.

There you go.

That's a deadly combo right there.

You know, there's all those, like, Indian gurus, right, where, like, people tell the stories of, like, all they have to do is, like, gaze on me or touch me.

I've never experienced any of this.

And then you just feel like you've had experience with God.

Yeah, I guide some guys, some of my clients, like, they leave their body.

You know, they have experiences of, like, leaving their body.

It feels very weird.

Yeah.
