That's a movie, man. That's like, because there's like an eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. I don't know if you ever saw that film, Jim Carrey. It's a good movie where he wants to erase part of his brain to get a girl out of his mind. It's like just, you know, bad relationship. But see, that's fascinating to me. I can totally see how that could happen.

I think that one of the things that 5MEO did for me was just that, kind of what's the adage, that we use 2% of our brain. And it's like, to me, I've made the analogy to people like, Do you want to understand a little bit about what it's like? Think about your dreams.

And when you wake up from a dream and you've had some insane dream that you're speaking languages and your mother is there, but her head is an ostrich head. And your son is like a stockbroker and he's making deals, but he's only two. And you're like, where the fuck did that come from? How did my brain...

And as a writer, I can relate to that feeling of accessing parts of your brain that you just can't get to sitting here talking. And I've had that experience many times. I don't know if you've had it writing, but where you sit down and things start coming out of you. And you look, you think that, you know, 15 minutes have gone by and you look up and three hours have gone by.

And you don't remember it. And you look down, you've written 10 pages, but you've accessed something that you can't get to normally. And I call it, you know, flow state or, you know, some sort of optimal creative flow. Like, Rogan thinks that this state is an actual entity, like an external goblin that comes in and enters you, right?

So everything that we normally think of, like, oh, I'm wearing a sweater, you're wearing a sweater, I'm wearing pants, you're wearing pants, carpet here, all your things that are up on the wall, that's all our rational brain. Turn all that shit off And the next thing you know, you've created 10 years of a life, and you really think you've got a son and a wife. It's crazy, isn't it?
