E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

It really, I mean, cause that's the closest you can get to experiencing, you know, a chemical rush of what happens supposedly, you know, when the body ceases, it's like you get this flood and,

of dmt you know and it's like boom and i think that that's the handshake that's the handoff you know it's like the energetic handoff of consciousness you know in that moment and i think you know and and also uh that would include all the dissociative trips that i've been on and i've been like you know experimenting with multiple different forms of dissociatives you know that um

pretty high strengths in the Psychonaut community.

Some of my neuroscientist friends in the Sensoria group and stuff like that, and the Centers for Conscious, or Centers for, what is it called?

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

It's like, I get close to like, oh, I'm so close to just, what if I just let go fully while I'm in the state?

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Would that, would that, would that allow for my disillusion of self?

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being
