So the trauma gets stuck

And you're actually bringing that to the doorstep of every moment.

So you're kind of like living as if that past thing was happening to you now, and it's affecting your biochemistry and so on and so forth.

And one of the things that happens in psychedelic experience when they do trauma work is that it puts you in a state of consciousness in which not only can you visit the trauma, but dissolve the stuckness of it.

You know, they say the body keeps the score.

That's the book about trauma.

And so that's an interesting thing is like to be in a state of consciousness where you feel somatically safe enough to like go back to it, visit it, look at it, acknowledge it, and also realize it's in the past.

It's not here now and it doesn't have to be.

And yeah, so I just think that's...

That's how we could potentially deal with that.

If our body doesn't do it with its own innate intelligence in your case.

So let's say like, you know, you cheated on someone or like you were like mean to someone or you were really bad to someone.

And now you're living up to 250 years.

Do you want to live with that resentment till that age?

Well, maybe that'll be an incentive to behave better since you have to live with it longer.

Right?

But like, just imagine, right?

Like you had only like, let's say like you're 55 and you did something at the age 50 and like, you know, that's like, God forbid, let's say like, you know, your use like end of life was 70 now extended to 250.

You just had that period of resentment for 15.

Now it turned into 200 and 200 odd years.
