Chapter 1: What is the significance of having an abundance mindset?
Chapter 2: How does early life instability shape our perspective?
Well, in its inception, well, remember, we didn't start politics. But American politics was always the field or the playground of the rich. I mean, Washington and Jefferson and Adams, Franklin, they were the most educated, most affluent people. So the idea that money has suddenly affected American politics would, I think, maybe be skewed. Money always affected American politics. Really? Yeah.
Okay. Money doesn't corrupt people. Money just allows people to become a larger version of themselves.
Okay.
And so if you're not corrupt at the core, money will not corrupt you. Wow. That's deep.
I got to think about that one. I just feel like a lot of politicians get corrupted. Early on. By money though.
Yeah. But I think they're more corrupted by power. And then the money helps them get the power. Got it. And so the money is really a vehicle to get what they really want, which is power.
Yeah. And power has always been an issue over time, right? All of human history. Yeah, you see it as soon as we were made. I mean, people with territory, conquering the world.
The moment we try to impose our will on someone else's life, it becomes an issue of power.
Is that something you think that you kind of just have as a human and you got to fight against it? Or do you think...

Chapter 3: What does Erwin McManus say about the nature of luck?
Chapter 4: How can communication frequencies impact relationships?
And if we can work from a different perspective, that it's win-win, that your power doesn't diminish my power, just like your greatness doesn't diminish my greatness, or your wealth doesn't diminish my capacity for wealth. And so you have to have an open system, an abundance mindset that says there's enough for everyone and more. If you have a really limited system,
there's only so much and you fight for what's limited. And it creates a greater sense of violence.
Do you think that system is scalable in the masses though? I do. For everyone to win and have power? I do.
I'm an idealist, yeah. Wow. I do. Look at the earth's resources. Do you realize there's enough food on this planet to feed every human being? I mean, just if we stop paying farmers not to farm. If we didn't try to control the economics of farming, we actually have enough food on this planet to feed everyone. There are enough resources on this planet for everyone to live well.
And so it's not an issue of resources. It's really an issue of power.
So, because 78% of people can't afford a thousand dollar expense right now. So is there a time in society where you can see everyone being financially wealthy? Yeah.
I think I can see a time in society where, well, one, only dealing with ideals. Human beings, we're our greatest obstacle to a better world. But I do think that we can create a world where everyone has not just the basic food and the basic needs in life, but real opportunity to elevate and enhance their life. And that's the kind of life I like fighting for. I love that.
I love how positive you are, man. That's... I wish more people thought that way, for real. A lot of people are just hoarding mentalities, right?
No, no, that's right. And you hoard when you have a limited resource mindset. Right. I need to hold on to it because there's not enough for everyone. And it's just like with ideas. I mean, I don't build things. I don't build cars or houses or technology. My competency is ideas. and I have thousands of them.

Chapter 7: What is the connection between power and money?
No, you may not be that religiously inclined, but psychedelics to me are very similar to some things like Pentecostalism, where you have those ecstatic experiences in religion, and you have all these manifestations. We humans want all of our life problems to be solved in one eccentric or esoteric experience, whether it's spiritual or psychedelic. Life doesn't change like that.
Life changes when your character changes. And as you develop your character, you change your circumstances.
Yeah, it's an ongoing process for sure. How do you view dreams? Because I have an interesting take on the dream world, but I'd love to hear yours.
Interestingly enough, I have like a neurological condition that they told me about years ago where part of my brain's always on, part of it's always off. So I live in a continuous dream state. And I wrote a book called Wide Awake, ironically. And a huge part of it is I dream when I'm awake, the way other people dream when they're asleep. So you see stuff while you're awake? Yeah.
And the downside of it is since I was probably five years old, when I have nightmares asleep, I wake up and I'm still in the nightmare. Whoa. It's really traumatic. And I wish I could say I found a way out of that, but I still struggle with that. I think we were in Copenhagen or I think Copenhagen where Aaron and I were in a hotel and I took a nap like at three in the afternoon.
I don't usually sleep in the daytime, but we were exhausted. And the moment I fell asleep, I went into the state. And then I woke up, but I was still in the dream. And I'm usually having some kind of a near-death struggle. And I text Aaron or call him and I say, hurry, come here, I'm dying. I want to say goodbye. And so my son's like going down elevators trying to get to me.
I'm walking down the hall, but I'm still in the dream. Wow. So I've had this all of my life. And so I actually think that dreams and nightmares... have a very significant relationship to us, that there is no emotion you can hold without a story. The reason most of us can't change a negative emotion is that we don't change the story that holds that emotion.
Every negative emotion has a story that allows it to exist within you. Wow. Every positive emotion has a story within you. Dreams wrap around the positive emotions you have. Nightmares wrap around the negative emotions you have. And so even in your unconscious or subconscious state, you're still telling a story that holds the emotion you're struggling with or living with.
So you believe your emotions manifest in your dreams? Absolutely. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. I used to have a lot of nightmares when I was depressed. Yeah, me too. And I had bad anxiety. Nightmares almost every day, but that is terrifying that you wake up and you're still in the nightmare. It's terrifying for my family.
