And my guidance counselor had got this book directly from Stan, and I said, could I write a letter to Stan? I want to become an LSD therapist. And he said, sure. So I wrote this letter, and Stan was just leaving Hopkins, and I'm this confused 18-year-old. And to my shock, Stan wrote me back. Stan is now, by the way— almost 94 years old. And he is still going around the world to educate people.

But this book was a pivot point in my life, reading this. I said, I really want to study psychedelics. So the dream was a few years later, Um, if, if people have seen the movie 2001 Space Odyssey, um, near the end of it, there's this scene where the astronaut is in this all white room and he's on his deathbed.

And so the dream was I'm in this all white room on this, and there's a person on his deathbed and he's, um, looking at me, and he said, earlier in my life I was almost killed, but I was saved, and I knew I was saved for a purpose, but I didn't know what the purpose was. He said, let me show you what happened to me. So this is all in the dream.

So we go, and it's in World War II, and he was a Jewish guy, and it was outside of a village, and there was all these thousands of people lined up with open grave machine guns by the Nazis. Before the crematoriums and the concentration camps, they called it the Holocaust of Bullets. So this guy was wounded, buried, but wasn't dead.

And then it had a little bit of a Jesus kind of a theme where he was buried for three days. Somehow I'm seeing all this through his eyes. And then he wakes up and he's not dead. He climbs his way through the bodies and nobody's there. It's the edge of town. He runs into the...

that I want you to bring back psychedelics, that if we can all feel our interconnectedness, it will be harder to dehumanize others. It'll be harder to do this mass murder that we need to understand how we're all more similar than different. And I said, in my mind again, in the dream, I said, I've already decided to do this. This is sort of reinforcing it. I will say yes, and you can die in peace.
