And your mitochondria have the ability to make you forget.

Your ego can do that.

And in Buddhism, it's one of the hindrances is forgetfulness.

It's like it's in there, but the brain won't show it to you, right?

So if you do like Aubrey Marcus, 87, okay.

Well, each time you do that,

The ego gets stronger because it got all the knowledge, but you didn't get to remember it.

So the trick is you have to write it down or you have to talk to someone about it.

So you have a witness and it's documented because then your ego won't let you forget it because it'll get caught writing it from you.

This is why people come to 40 Years of Zen.

There's small groups of about five people and you talk about what you just did.

It's the same thing.

You wake up from a dream.

If you tell someone you remember the dream, you don't tell someone it's gone.

Well, psychedelics are the same way.

Breathwork is the same way.

So making sure that you get the benefit from it in your consciousness instead of in your ego is just so important.

Otherwise, it can go dark.

Yeah, I know people that have gone down the dark psychedelic path.

It sucks to see because they want to heal and get over their trauma.
