1.904 - 21.685

89.182 - 110.351 Paul Risse

I took mushrooms around a thousand times, tried DMT, 2C-B, 2C-I, MDMA, salvia. I truly was looking for truth and looking for an answer to the pain, to deep answers to questions in life. That led me to meditation, to not eating food for up to 30 days at a time, just doing liquids, doing a lot of mantras.

110.491 - 123.255 Paul Risse

There was a part of me that was vibrating at a very high level, on a physical level and even emotional and spiritual level, but it was without Jesus. The history of our Earth is so different from what we can imagine.

123.927 - 144.131

The Smithsonian, if they found out about a large skeleton somewhere, was to go get it. I'm going to assume at least one person is right, because if one person's right, it busts the paradigm. It all goes back to the fallen church. And the problem with the modern-day church, they have a very truncated view of the supernatural.

144.151 - 175.744

This backdrop that's just pregnant with all kinds of meaning associated with this Mount Hermon event. Welcome to the glory of Jesus. And this guy defects from the kingdom. That's a big deal. Welcome back. We're in the basement. What year were you born, Paul? 1976. Okay, we got a 70s. So you were a little more lucid when all this stuff was floating around.

Chapter 2: How did Paul's childhood influence his spiritual journey?

208.133 - 211.779

So we've got a few board games behind you, Paul. Yeah. We're going to challenge you.

0

211.879 - 216.186 Paul Risse

Well, I will destroy you in chess or Scrabble. I promise.

0
0

216.707 - 219.271 Paul Risse

And that's not bragging. It's just a statement of fact. That's what you did.

0

219.291 - 220.533

You read books as a kid.

220.893 - 223.898 Paul Risse

I read two to three books a day. Were you raised Amish? No.

224.399 - 225.34

Just no TV?

225.801 - 230.607 Paul Risse

Non-denominational Baptist... Yeah. With this, you couldn't beat us in an excite bike.

230.827 - 241.256

That's the truth. No, let me tell you, don't overheat. Don't overheat. Well, you're here because we're going to get into like some of the weirder conversations we have here is like psychedelics. You wrote a book, The Psychedelic Christian.

Chapter 3: What role do psychedelics play in Paul's quest for truth?

320.458 - 342.737 Paul Risse

Have you heard of it? Yeah. It's where you're fully covered in hair. And so it was a father, a mother, and a 12-year-old girl approximately. I mean, completely covered in hair. The dad and the mom? Yes. That's like... Yes. Complete. And the girl was complete, like, I mean, thick, like as if you're up against a bear. And so I carried out for them and I just trying to act normal.

0

342.837 - 361.496 Paul Risse

And so they get into their minivan or whatever it was. And so I'm unloading the groceries and the girl is getting in the back seat and they have a lot of groceries. And so as I'm unloading, you know, putting the groceries back because it's getting full, my arm brushes her leg and it's like, you know, super hairy. And like, I just like almost like freeze.

0

361.637 - 381.99 Paul Risse

And I just looked up at her for a split second. And when we made eye contact, um, there was something in her eyes that was like the deepest form of a wound that you can have. And she was just so hypersensitive to how I would react to touching her. Like I could see her thoughts being like, wow, he's going to be so disgusted that his arm touched my leg.

0

382.03 - 400.694 Paul Risse

And I just saw that if that was a condition that you had and you were any part human, like you would probably not want to be around that judgment ever. And, uh, there's another condition that's related to it, I believe called hirsuism. And, uh, It mostly affects women, but it can affect men a minority of the time. And that's an overgrowth of hair.

0

401.154 - 425.2 Paul Risse

And it produces a large amount of testosterone as well. And so if you had Nephilim DNA and it's passed on after the flood, they came back and after. And so if you have that and it's manifested in lineages in different ways, like brothers, my brother has red hair, I have brown hair. I'm a little bit taller than my brother. He's a little bit shorter. So I could see if the DNA...

425.433 - 451.657 Paul Risse

could go through lineages and affect basically their offspring in different ways that it could easily produce a hypersensitive, super strong, slightly interdimensional in the sense where maybe really elusive and just hypersensitive to any form of human contact and desire to be away from it. Um, so that is a small theory and, uh, but yeah.

451.957 - 466.587

All right. I mean, that's a new one. I thought you were going to say he came in and got a pack of Marlboro Reds when you were standing there at the game. No. Remind me of that meme though. The meme where Biff would smoke him. And it's like, I completely understand why Biff wants to be away from people now. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

466.627 - 473.086

It was kind of like he comes in, gets a pack of Marlboro Reds, goes out and goes back in the woods and just contemplates why he doesn't want to be around humans. But anyway.

473.106 - 490.499 Paul Risse

And then my friend Chad and his wife, Kobe, they sent me a text because I said, I want you to text this to me. And I can read it verbatim, so it's not like the telephone game, but there's a rancher about 10 miles from us who claimed to have seen one as well in Texas. And I'd really never heard of them in Texas.

Chapter 4: What controversial connections exist between psychedelics and Christianity?

490.799 - 491.981

They're bigger in Texas, I imagine.

0

492.442 - 493.504 Paul Risse

Everything is bigger.

0

493.764 - 501.458

Oh, no, they're in Texas. They're mean. Maybe all the Bigfoot's exes live in Texas. Yeah, the nice ones are hanging out in Texas.

0

501.438 - 525.083 Paul Risse

in seattle i thought it would be neat you know those bigfoot cutouts that they sell yeah i always thought that would be a funny trick if bigfoot was using that as a portal to get in and out of dimensions because he could just it's like a constantly a way to hide stand still he just like it would be kind of funny i love it though these are these are fun fun conversations and it's it's cool that how many people have a story you know but i didn't

0

525.147 - 549.166

I guess I didn't really thought about the genetic anomalies of maybe there's some still hidden in humans too as well. There's all this residue of... Like gingers. Yeah, gingers. But gingers are tall and sensitive. Also, I saw something recently that gingers are also African. They're black. We are. Interesting. Really weird. That was the best thread of the internet this year.

549.206 - 566.047

You said they're black? Gingers are black. Interesting. It hasn't helped your basketball skills, but that's... And it was all these gingers lamenting about how they finally feel accepted. It was awesome. It's incredible. Yeah. We had a joke about this before. It was like the racial draft on the spell show. And it's like, but the black delegation takes the gingers.

568.05 - 590.308

But ginger is one thing we are is we're very sensitive to stuff going into our bodies. And so I can't imagine doing drugs. I never wanted to do drugs. I never had any, I mean, you know, like a little bit of the green stuff on backstage and my music days, but even that felt a little too much. Like I'm out of my mind. I'm out of my, I don't like this feeling.

590.368 - 604.369

Some people, I'm just like, how did you do that? Function, sleep, go to school, live your life. And the weird stuff they saw, it just seems terrifying to me. I'm just, it wasn't wired that way, you know? But some people did it. And you said you, that's your story.

604.929 - 607.433 Paul Risse

Yeah, close to a thousand times. Wow. I would say.

Chapter 5: How does Paul Risse define biblical pharmakeia?

632.067 - 650.97 Paul Risse

So we had moved two to three times a year, sometimes when I was young and always making new friends, meeting new people. And an amazing childhood, honestly. I was raised without a TV, but at that time I didn't realize that it was a huge disadvantage to relating to people later in life whenever they're talking about their television shows. Yeah.

0

650.95 - 669.672 Paul Risse

But yeah, honestly, just the best parents I could ever imagine. And by the time I was 12, I'd memorized the sinner's prayer. Like I probably said the sinner's prayer, I don't know, a hundred times, you know, like Jesus, I mean, like repeating in my head, saying it out loud and opening my eyes and I was like, okay, what's different? Like anything changed?

0

669.972 - 691.652 Paul Risse

And I felt like nothing ever changed or shifted or anything. I was always looking for a change inside of me. And I want to reflect back on that now. I often wonder if it was merely because I had a fear of going to hell because we were in a church environment that was super unhealthy and when I first hardened my heart to God and their main focus was hell.

0

692.152 - 708.43 Paul Risse

And, you know, to a child, like the Bible, it also has grace and love. It has judgment and it has, you know, it has everything. The Bible is full book, but whenever you only emphasize hell, I think it's unhealthy for a child to process that, like burning forever. I remember, I remember, uh,

0

708.41 - 725.045

Having this conversation recently with someone because in elementary school, I went with the same kids from kindergarten through seventh grade. And I saw some of my friends get saved 12 times between all the chapels that we had to go to. And I remember thinking, wait a minute. He went last week.

Chapter 6: What testimonies of healing does Paul share from his experiences?

725.545 - 747.888

You're not allowed to go again. It is hard. It is hard to grow up in the church sometimes and have these advanced thoughts as a kid. And then your parents are trying to put good morals into you. and you're trying to, there was a lot of fear. I was afraid, I was really afraid. It was heavy concepts, not a lot of questions being answered.

0

748.831 - 757.755

Seeing people get saved 50 times and then being afraid that I'm not saved myself. What's gonna happen to me? But I can relate to that.

0

758.039 - 775.882 Paul Risse

Yeah, and it was at the age of 12 that I hardened my heart to God. And from that point on, every time I was in church or reading the Bible, because we had to read the Bible, I memorized chapters of the Bible growing up. I remember trying to look for ways the Bible was wrong and look for hypocrisy in the church. And so, you know, I'd read like, oh, God, you know, killed all these people.

0

775.922 - 794.525 Paul Risse

Like, how can killing be bad? Or, you know, just like the things that, and then you just look at the deacon and he's checking out the 16-year-old girl and you can see it in him. You know, like, wait, that guy is the deacon? Like, how come that's, is that obvious? He's looking at her, the entire church service and everything. There's hypocrisy in every church, and there's not a perfect church.

0

795.548 - 808.617 Paul Risse

It was easy for me to find that, but my dad disciplined us. He believed in spanking and correction. I never outwardly rebelled, but inwardly in my heart, I closed my heart off to God.

808.597 - 831.529 Paul Risse

At the age of 18, when I left the house, I went to college and I immediately just was an idiot and thought I was cooler than the world and immediately just began to party and do anything that I could to get in trouble and was not smart about it. at all, started out just kind of drinking and I was super into sports and I loved working out.

831.669 - 849.067 Paul Risse

So drinking didn't really appeal to me that much because I would always be like, what is it? I don't get what y'all are getting. You drink a bunch and you feel like horrible for two days. And then you don't do anything intelligent. And then I found weed and I enjoyed weed and then recreationally did mushrooms.

Chapter 7: How does Paul view the modern church's perspective on the supernatural?

849.928 - 852.39 Paul Risse

And it was interesting.

0

852.37 - 879.998 Paul Risse

more psychological and just like it was a new experience and then at that time i was dating a woman she got pregnant and i have a beautiful daughter named kaylee from that marriage but that marriage ended because neither one of us knew jesus christ and didn't have that as a foundation we got married for the wrong reason and that marriage ended in an enormous amount of pain for myself and my ex-wife and my daughter and i was the reason for it but there was

0

879.978 - 900.467 Paul Risse

As it played out, there were multiple reasons for us to get a divorce. And in that, I started to search for answers for the pain. When you're 23 and you're trying to process the pain of your child, who's three years old at the time, and not being in her life every day, and you being the catalyst for a relationship ending.

0

900.447 - 920.582 Paul Risse

And then, you know, your best friend being involved with your ex-wife while you are still married. And then like trying not to like murder, like revenge, bitterness, sadness, like every single negative emotion that you could possibly imagine was for two years of my life. That's what I was in. And.

0

920.562 - 943.768 Paul Risse

whenever i started taking mushrooms they started to show me things like reveal things to me and show me things about myself and uh you know as a christian that's something that the holy spirit does that it convicts you if you have a wrong thought and uh so i started being intentional about taking mushrooms and every time that i would take them uh it seemed like i would grow a little bit and

943.9 - 949.011

Paul, when you say the mushrooms will show you, or was it what you were encountering entities?

949.212 - 967.454 Paul Risse

I mean, it was a mixed bag. Sometimes there'd be entities that were encountered, but sometimes with a psychedelic experience, specifically with mushrooms, sometimes it's just psychological and you go super into your body and into your thoughts. And then other times it's outward, like y'all's faces would be dripping off and there'd be like, you know, flowers coming out of the wall right now.

968.336 - 991.042 Paul Risse

And, you know, you can sense what's real and not real. But whenever I went inside myself for the first time eating mushrooms, it was... I... in the story that I told myself about my divorce and, you know, putting blame on the other person, like I could no longer be the victim. I like very clearly saw like every single negative thing that I had done and like that it was my fault.

991.443 - 1006.847 Paul Risse

And I had been trying for a couple of years to tell the story differently. And, um, so it's like, it was, it was really, um, It helped at that time, without me knowing Christ, it helped me process a lot of things on a very deep level.
