And it's true. It has unlocked more than they've ever experienced. So I don't ever tell people, don't do this plant. Don't do this drug. When people tell me, I love sex. I'm having sex with everybody. Is there a problem with that? I say, that's fine. You can have sex with everybody you want. You can have all the drugs you want. I have, but I do want you to know

See, that's the thing. You actually begin to shrink the vessel. How do we know? Because every time you take the drug, it's never as potent the next time. You need more. You need more frequently. You need it more frequently. So you actually begin to shrink your capacity until you experience death.

And then there's some kind of death or painful scenario that breaks your vessel open again, and then you start that process over. The only way to really expand your vessel spiritually is a concept, is a spiritual law that is certainty beyond logic.

You have to be put in a dark situation, a difficult situation, where you do not see any logical way of getting out of it, and then choose to have certainty that you can. Even if you have to fake that certainty, but you have certainty beyond your logical mind, this breaks open the vessel and allows the next level of your soul to come in to hold this energy.

I think there are several aspects. One is... Unfortunately, so many people give their agency away. And what I mean is that they look outside of themselves for something that will guide them or that there's some cosmic presence out there that's going to intervene. And in fact, the first sentence of the book, as you know, is, the universe doesn't give a f*** about you.

And the reason is, is because the universe has no f***s to give. And the point is that so many of us, and I included, early in my life, I looked for external affirmation. People who would say, well, what you're doing is good, or that's right, or geez, you did incredible things, I like you. off with the goal of sort of making me feel OK about myself.

And in some ways, this very much relates to that, because the answer is only you have the power to make yourself happy. As Epictetus has said, and many other Stoics, You may not be able to control your circumstance, but you can control how you react to your circumstance. And in many ways, that's the truth about happiness. And also, of course, how you look at the world.

So I'm sure you've been in the situation where you've shared with a loved one, a family member, geez, you know, I want this to happen. God, I'm so excited about this. I think this is a great idea. And then they'll say something like, No, that's stupid. Why would you do that? Or you can't do that. And, you know, obviously that's very hurtful and for many people deflating.
