I mean, go to that time in your life when you were pushing yourself, and you can actually remember the tightness in your throat, in your back, in your... It's contracted. And then remember the best moment of your life and what was happening then. And all your muscles will loosen, relax, and open. And that is my gauge of truth. Does it set me free? The truth sets you free.

So whatever sets you free is the truth. Then reality is going to start changing for you with or without psychedelics. And I remember sitting, and I had this overwhelming obsession with meditation when I turned 50.

And I just bought this place in the woods in central California, and I'd go out and sprinkle myself with birdseed and meditate in the forest all day while the chipmunks came and the birds would land on me. Nice. Oh, it was amazing. And about six months into really meditating for hours every day,

I kind of had an experience like Jill Bolte-Taylor in the shower where I was in the forest with the chipmunks and birds, and then it was just light. And it was like, it was so startling. It was like I'd fallen off a cliff. Like I couldn't see the ground. I couldn't. And then everything was back. And then it started happening a lot.

And I read in shamanic traditions, they call this experience stopping the world. And it can happen through the guidance of a shaman or a plant or whatever. It was happening to me through meditation. And in that space of light, which I stopped fearing after a while, It looked as if this thing we're doing now is a video game.

If you and I were sitting and playing a video game, you would choose a character. I would choose a character. You'd stab me with a sword. I'd hit you with a mace. And we would say, you are hurting me. You are killing me. But really, we'd be talking about characters in a video game. And then somebody would come say, let's go get lunch.

And we would put it down and go stop stabbing each other and be friends. It feels to me as if this is more like a game than reality, the whole physical everything. And I call this you, me, and you call that me, and I call it you. And when the game stops, however that happens... There's a level of reality as different from this one as a video game is from three-dimensional life.

There's a world outside the cave. And I don't know what it is. And I may be wrong. I don't care.
