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

So everyone's going to be different.

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

No one's going to rock a heavy load of dissociatives and then be like, that was great.

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

They'll be like, I was terrifying, and I never want to do that again.

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

I'm like, I get it.

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

I get it.

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

And that's not for you, and that's fine.

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

But whether I didn't have drugs and I was just on my own or whether I'm on drugs, again, for me,

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

Yeah.

Know Thyself

I mean, you know, anxiety is, you know, is a fear-based state and fear, essentially, it simply connects to our fear of death, of not being in this life in this way anymore.

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

And that's what creates all the spectrum of anxiety, uncertainty, you know, these types of things.

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

But anxiety is one that's, you know, very real and it can take over and it's, it's crippling and, uh,

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

cause you to self limit in a way that might not be the best for you or yourself, whatever.

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

And you kind of know it too.

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

That's what the anxiety is.

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

It's like, there's kind of a, you're in a battle between death and knowing that death doesn't exist.

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

And so anxiety is like this kind of awareness that it's a challenge to awareness.

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

to either succumb to it or to learn how to unweave that really tight knot, start to get some space on that knot and undo it.

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

Different states, again, this could be meditation, but I find that with ketamine-assisted therapy, many of the doctors that I know that employ that method, people are getting over issues hyper quickly.

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

And it sticks.

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

And they may not do it again.
