And would the brain ever allow for more? Or is it just so against survival that we couldn't experience it here?
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean, I feel like, as you referred to earlier, meditation has been such a powerful form of reaching altered states of consciousness and breath work you referred to, nature for sure. I mean, I've had the fortune of spending some time in some special, special places, both in India and just this year I got to go to Bhutan as well.
And, you know, it was, I definitely went to places that I felt they were, it almost felt like there were places in the material world that were already in different realms. Like it almost felt that way.
Yeah. Like places I went to in South India, I definitely felt that because some of these temples are like thousands and thousands of years old. And they were built with that. I mean, they're built with that kind of like Vedic mathematics and just the way they're, the architecture and everything, kind of how we marvel at the pyramids.
Yeah, the Mayan ruins. It's that kind of, I saw those temples in South India, which I guess have less publicity and PR. But when I went there, I was like, wow, this is just, you know, there's this, I remember this one kind of hallway that, And it's almost, I forget the exact name they've given it, but it almost feels like a portal. And it's just pillars and pillars and pillars for so long.
But it almost is seen as this transitionary portal. And so you kind of find these places in the world that have otherworldly, other realm aspects that you almost feel like an automatic sense of connection to a part of you that's beyond. And having had those experiences before, It's amazing to me as well.
So many of my friends who've taken psychedelics or clients that have practiced that, no one ever comes back and believes that this four-dimensional world is all we have, that there is more. What's the benefit of that? Do you believe that's the next stage of human evolution? Is that spiritual dimension or is that what we're leaning towards, hinting towards? Is that how you see it progressing?
No, I've not seen Coco. You haven't seen it? I thought you were going to say Sol. I've seen that, but I've not seen Coco.
Okay.
Yeah, no, no. And dark retreats too. Like, I think it's interesting that all of it's trying to get us to just be. Like, it all starts with this sense of just being. But some of these activities, I think for a lot of people, they seem so foreign, right? Like, I think dark retreats seem foreign, silent retreats seem foreign. Obviously, they're quite... big differences to the way people live.
And even things like chanting and humming and being in nature, like those, I think coming from a Indian background, like chanting is somewhat far more accessible or normal or a practice that you grew up with, whereas in the Western world, that wouldn't necessarily have been a practice. What has been the neurological impact of chanting?
I'm intrigued by that because that's always been something I've been fascinated by.
Well, I didn't know about the science behind that. It's so funny because one of my teachers would always tell us, he said, if you have a conflict with anyone in the monastery, you should dance and chant together.
That was literally what he would say.
He would always say that and he would always tell everyone that. It's like, if you're having a conflict with another monk or someone in the monastery or there's something, you should dance and chant together. And we'd always thought it was like a nice cute thing. Like, you know, you don't realize just...
how much you recognize there's spiritual depth behind it, but to even hear the idea that it's actually creating trust on a chemical level is pretty far out because... Well, it's clearly creating coherence in terms of you wouldn't chant out of tune with each other, would you? Correct.
And that simple act of doing it even subconsciously is going to bleed into when you're trying to consciously operate. Yeah. I mean, that's fascinating from a romantic perspective too, I guess. And from a relationship perspective of how often are couples spending time together in nature or how often are couples spending time in the same frequency and vibration together?
Is there any research around that that suggests the same for romantic love?
kind of spectrum that exists between stress and love. And you were talking about how like, you know, you're trying to move towards love in your life. And you said, not simply romantic love, just love as a force and as an energy source. And you were saying that, you know, stress, of course, sits at the polar opposite of that.
And so much of our decisions today are based on stress, naturally, whether it's stress to pay the bills, stress to survive, stress to take care of the people we love, stress because someone we love has been diagnosed with the disease. Like there's so much stress and it's almost like, how could you ever infuse love with that?
