It ties into Christianity quite a bit.
There's a book by John Allegro called Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, which his thesis was that Jesus was actually a mushroom.
It ties into Christianity quite a bit.
There's tons of ancient murals or Christian artwork, like some of the earliest depictions of Adam and Eve have them covering themselves with Amanita caps instead of fig leaves.
There's tons of these, like all throughout history.
All right, guys, got Christian here from Amanita.
We're going to talk about a mushroom that most of you guys probably haven't heard of, right?
I mean, I think everybody's heard of it.
It's the Mario mushroom, the Alice Wonderland mushroom, red mushroom with white dots.
It's, you know, blasted throughout
history.
It's in some of the earliest cave paintings are of Amanita, anthropomorphized Amanita deities.
It's throughout religious artwork.
It was thought to be the
soma, the divine drink of immortality from the Vedic hymn.
So it's it's been peppered throughout history.
And then in pop culture, of course, like
if a child draws a mushroom, nine out of 10 times they're going to be drawing the Amanita muscaria, the red mushroom with white dots.
Now, most people don't know about its efficacy, its effects, and how profoundly healing it is.
So we can get into that.
Yeah, we'll dive into that for sure.
How'd you get involved in this?
So I was going through benzodiazepine withdrawal in 2019.
Benzos are Xanax, Clonopen, Adivan, Valium, typical anti-anxiety medication.
Some of the
hardest substances in the world to get off of.
Anything that hits the GABA system in the body is, it can produce seizures which can cause, which can kill somebody.
So alcohol and benzodiazepines really are the only drugs out there that are used currently that can kill people.
The withdrawal also lasts years, potentially, because it's really not withdrawal ones dealing with brain damage, a damaged GABA and glutamate system.
So I was getting off of these drugs.
I was off of them for a year and I was still extremely sick, like really, really sick, like contemplating leaving this world sick.
Yeah, yeah, it's not, not a fun time.
And
I was on a hike a year to the day after I got off of Benzo's, and I saw these mushrooms growing, and there was this extremely potent magnetism towards it.
Like my heart was being pulled.
And there seemed to be like a
exchange of information in a sense.
And in a sense, they kind of told me looking back, like, we have something for you.
And in return, you're going to do something for us.
And it was, you know, people get this heart pull.
Some people get it with psilocybin with using plant medicines.
I think the easiest thing to relate it to is relationships.
Like if you have a relationship that's really potent, you kind of have a magnetism towards them.
So I felt this heart pull in a way that I had never felt before.
And so I listened and I picked them and I went to the house and I did some research and I found that they hit the GAB and the glutamate system, the same systems that benzodiazepines damage.
And like I said, I was ready to check out.
I was done.
So I, you know, decided I'd give it a shot.
And within two weeks of micro-dosing with a couple like medium to large doses peppered in there, I was like 80 to 90% healed.
Yeah, it was, it was miraculous, man.
Like I was, I was, it was as if I was drowning and I could finally breathe again, you know.
Wow.
And yeah, I didn't really know the scope of what I was getting into, like how big it could potentially be.
I understood like the symbolism and that it was, you know, the the most iconic mushroom in the world.
I mean, it's the mushroom emoji on our phone, you know.
Oh, the red one.
Yeah, the red one with the white dots.
Yep, yep, exactly.
Mario, Alice in Wonderland.
But I didn't realize the scope of like what the mushroom's potential was and what its mission is here and like what it's trying to accomplish and how unbelievably and powerfully healing it is.
Because it's, I mean, with what we've seen and what we're seeing and what we're learning, like
it has the capacity to
transform lives unlike anything else out there like bar bar none like ayahuasca psilocybin like nothing comes quite close to what Amanita has the capability of doing and what we're seeing it do time and time and time and time again so I wasn't quite aware of what we were getting into but or what I was getting into but I continued exploring and continued exploring and eventually I got asked by somebody to start selling here in the states so it wasn't even like a an intention of mine it was just a path that was kind of laid out before me.
But yeah, so I discovered the mushroom in 2020 and then the business opened up in 2021 wow and yeah here we are the largest retailers of amanita in north america holy crap you're already the largest yeah i mean you know i was the first to start selling so like i mean we were the largest from the get-go you know um because nobody was doing it in the states there were some like foragers and stuff that were that were picking and selling online but we started importing and had you know a little market to start supplying and then we've built up the market and really been at the at the forefront of of not just building up the market, but disseminating the information around it.
And there's, it's, we're learning more stuff all the time like there's yeah there's so much information that's constantly coming out and we're just i mean from my perspective i'm really just kind of like getting out of the way and letting letting things unfold as they as they should has regulation been a struggle trying to get this in retail and stuff yeah i mean yes and no it's 100 legal so louisiana is the only state that it's illegal in um which is is too bad but it is what it is it's um it's
the the the trick is the stigma around it so like a lot of people think that the red mushroom with white dots is poisonous and toxic.
Yeah.
And I mean, there's like, there's a little bit of validity to that in the sense that if you pick the mushrooms directly from the ground and eat them, like, a lot of people get sick.
You have to prepare them properly.
You have to dry them, which it's not that complicated.
But, like, people in like the 60s, for instance, were like just picking large amounts of almanita and eating them, thinking that it was going to, you know, create a psychoactive psychedelic experience, and they'd get super sick.
So they've been labeled as toxic and poisonous.
It's all really a bunch of BS.
I think there's probably other agendas that have wanted it to be labeled as toxic and poisonous, but
yeah.
Why is it called the Christ mushroom?
Well, so there's a lot of, I mean,
it ties into Christianity quite a bit.
There's a book by John Allegro called Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, which and his thesis was that Jesus was actually a mushroom, which I think is maybe a little bit far-fetched, you know, but
there's there's a lot of, I mean, it ties in, it ties into Christianity quite a bit.
There's tons of
tons of ancient murals or Christian artwork, like some of the earliest depictions of Adam and Eve have them covering themselves with amanita caps instead of fig leaves.
There's tons of these, like all throughout history.
All right.
Just took a little break to eat some amanita, but feeling good.
Yeah, good.
Yeah.
Good.
What do you feel?
Feel it in my head.
I just feel more open-minded, I feel like.
Good.
I feel like we're just flowing now.
The Trilight from Therasage is no joke.
Medical-grade red and near-infrared light with three frequencies per light.
Deep healing, real results, and totally portable.
It's legit.
Photo bio-modulation tech in a flexible on-body panel.
This is the Tri-Light from Therasage and it's next-level red light therapy.
It's got 118 high-powered polychromatic lights, each delivering three healing frequencies, red and near-infrared, from 580 to 980 nanometers.
It's sleek, portable, and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it.
It's a a good place to start.
Awesome.
Awesome.
First timer.
And yeah.
What would your advice be to people like me, I guess, that are just starting out?
I mean, just watch your thoughts and how you flow.
Like, really, like, just be observant, you know, be observant and like let it, let it work its magic.
Yeah.
I have ADHD.
I wonder if it helped with that.
It helps a lot with ADD.
Yeah.
I mean, like, anecdotally, you know, I'm not supposed to say that, like, yeah, it helps with ADD and ADHD, but anecdotally, a lot of people use it for ADD and ADHD.
A lot of people use it for really all the things.
Like, yeah, which is, it's pretty profound.
Yeah, because it helps you focus, right?
Yep, yep, absolutely.
Like, yeah, it drops you in.
So, like, if you're going to bed, it helps you sleep.
If you're going to work out, it helps you work out.
It was, it was, there's a lot of conjecture that it was the, what the berserkers would eat, the Viking berserkers before going into battle.
Yeah.
So we've worked with some fighters and they say it's hands down the best, the best thing that they've ever taken pre-workout or pre-fighting.
And like, I can attest to it pre-workout, you're able to lift harder, you can push longer, your pain tolerance goes through the roof.
Yeah, so it's, yeah, it's, it's really wonderful for that.
But it drops you into literally anything.
Like if I'm reading, like it drops me into reading.
I'm able to absorb information better.
If I'm doing business, like it just, it just locks me in.
Social conversations, it just locks you in.
These days, that's really important because everyone's so distracted.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, absolutely.
People are all over the place.
I feel like attention spans have dropped a lot.
Yeah, we're all looking for the next dopamine hit constantly.
And yeah, yeah.
Have you ever done a dopamine detox?
I have, yeah.
How many days?
I don't know, probably seven days.
It's hard.
That was a long time ago, though.
It's hard.
Like I'm running a business, you know, know, like, I can't, I really can't.
I can't.
I would love to.
I really want to do a dark room.
That's what I've seen.
I've seen those cave retreats.
Yeah, I've been wanting to do that for a long time.
Your brain starts producing DMT.
I want to do that three-day cave retreat.
We'll do it.
Let's do it, man.
Let's make the commitment right now.
Are you solo when you're on that, or can you talk to people?
No, you're by yourself.
But, you know, we'll be in cabins next to each other.
I would lose sense of time.
Yeah, dude.
Feel like I might go crazy.
Yeah.
I've heard stories of like when you when you're eating food and stuff, you can like you see like visual three-dimensional images of the food because the DMT your brain is producing.
But apparently you like, you really dive into
your shadow, which, you know, you're in the dark.
It makes sense.
Yeah.
I used to fear the dark growing up.
For sure.
I still do a little bit.
Yeah.
I get that.
Yeah, absolutely.
Under the bed.
Seven-day dopamine detox.
Yeah, that was during benzoiddrawal.
Wow.
Did that help with the withdrawal at all?
No.
Nothing helps with benzo withdrawal.
Amanita is like the only thing that helped.
Yeah.
I mean, like, I, I smoked a lot of weed.
You know, cannabis helped a little bit, but like, yeah, really, nothing really helped except for Amanita.
I feel like cannabis is more of a pushing it back.
It doesn't actually help.
For sure.
Yeah.
Because I used to be a big stoner and it would just push all my problems, like delay them.
Yep, absolutely.
Yeah.
Amanita really, really beautifully
like shows you your issues.
It reflects it mirrors them back to you and it allows it gives you that gentle nudge to like to move away from them.
It's and then it rewires your brain and rewires your synapses in the pro or it seems to in the process so that the next time that issue comes up it's easier to navigate and easier to navigate i'd be very curious to see the rewiring on a study because i've gotten brain scans yeah and uh it'd be cool to see like a before and after yeah yeah we're we're in the process of funding research and i don't know when that type of research will be able to come out probably in a couple few years and you know research is tough because it's expensive and it doesn't have it doesn't have like there's a little bit of economic virtue to it it.
Like it comes back to us a little bit, but like it's not
a direct ROI.
Yeah.
It costs six, seven figures.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Plus a lot of corruption in that space.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's another aspect of it too.
And that's part of the business that we're running is like, it's so sacred to us.
Like this is such a sacred vessel and a sacred mission that it's so important for us to work with individuals that are in line with that.
And when I don't, like at times, I'm, I'm.
trying to get the mushroom out there instead of like just allowing the mushroom to move and breathe and move through me.
And when I do that, I'll connect with individuals that maybe aren't of like mind.
And every single time something goes wrong, there's like, there's a hand above me like moving, moving things, it seems.
And like that, you know, I got raided in 2022.
And I got raided
as I was working with the
cannabis, the cannabinoid industry, which is like either Delta 8 gummies, your HHC gummies, these gummies in smoke shops all around the country or gas stations.
And they were really interested about Amanita.
They wanted to start.
They thought it was going to be the next Delta 8.
And I was like, that's not what it is, guys.
And I told them all this, but they didn't believe me.
But I started working with a lot of them.
And it was cool for me.
It was the early years.
Like I was selling a ton, like tons literal of mushrooms to everybody,
but it wasn't in line with what the mushroom wanted.
And now, unfortunately, you have, then they all figured out that like Amanita is not what.
what they're they're wanting.
So they started putting research chemicals, synthetic drugs into these, into these gummies, which is now what you find in the smoke shops all around the country, which is a huge, huge issue.
But
yeah, because of my forcing, I ended up getting, getting raided, or at least that's how I view it.
Like it was an energetic spiritual response to
what I was doing because the mushroom didn't want me to work with people like that.
And I was forcing.
And yeah,
it was a really big, the raid was a, was a really interesting ordeal, very traumatic.
It was painful in many regards.
I
lost everything that I had built up to that point in time.
And fortunately, it was all, they thought that I was selling psilocybin, which I'm obviously not.
I don't know if it was incompetence or if it was something bigger than that.
If somebody really wanted to try and quiet me, which I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
But yeah, it was a result of me.
of me forcing and working with people that aren't in line with the mission.
Because this mushroom has a mission here and the mission is vast, vast, world-changing.
Damn.
So back to ground zero after that raid.
Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
That must have been a really humbling experience.
Yeah, humbling to say the least.
Humbling and a lot of other things.
Yeah.
Wow.
So the mushroom has a spirit of its own, you think?
Oh, yeah, 100%.
Yeah.
So in the Vedas,
the only
God that is manifest in the physical realm is Soma, which is very likely the Amanita mushroom.
So they actually viewed the red mushroom with white dots as an actual god, as an actual god.
And
yeah,
it's very likely, it certainly seems that it was the basis for a lot of the foundational religions of the world with Christianity and the Thai.
I mean, we talked about the Christ mushroom, but
looking at the iconography, and the paintings of Jesus being crucified with a Amanita mushroom head or Adam and Eve covering themselves with Amanita caps.
Like, yeah,
it has a mission here for sure.
And I think that the mission here is to raise.
This is a Bose moment.
You've been there before.
Somebody's apartment, small talk that's going nowhere, plastic cup that's almost empty.
It's not great.
Then someone hits play on a Bose speaker.
Heads nod, feet tap, one person dances, then everyone does.
Awkward becomes electric.
When Bose sound fills the room, you don't just hear the music, you feel it.

Consciousness and to help heal the world and break down the illusions that we're kind of stuck in right now, which we see shattering around us constantly.
I feel like there's so little we know about mushrooms in the mycelium network for sure.
Like I just, when I was growing up, I saw mushrooms.
It's just, you pick it off the ground and that's it.
Yeah.
But now they're finding out they talk to each other.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They talk to everything.
I hope you guys are enjoying the show.
Please don't forget to like and subscribe.
It helps the show a lot with the algorithm.
Thank you.
It is the network.
You know, it's the underground network.
Like they exchange nutrients with one another, with the trees.
Like, yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's, it's unbelievable.
It's pretty nuts that plants are now being found out to be communicating with each other.
Yeah.
And I mean, human DNA is very resemblant to mushroom DNA.
That's like we evolved from mushrooms.
You think so?
That's, that's what they say, yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
Theory of evolution.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know about that one.
I mean, that's, that's, like, I believe that's scientifically proven.
Yeah.
We evolved from mushrooms.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
No Anunnaki?
I mean, that's, that's a whole nother story.
And if you want to get real interesting, um, they, one of the, one of the things that people
started talking about was that like in high dose of Amanita experience and relating to me was that they were told that there was no amanita around during Atlantis, which is an interesting concept.
And so
Robert Edward Grant just built this like the architect AI.
I don't know if you've heard about that.
I saw that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he plugged in all this mathematics to Chat GPT and it started like all of a sudden talking about Atlantis and blah, blah, blah.
And so I've heard this over and over again, and it kind of resonated with me.
And I started playing with this architect and I decided to ask it.
I was like, was Amanita around during Atlantean times?
And it said, no, no, it wasn't.
Amanita, it said, I mean, it gave me this long-winded answer, but the summary at the end was Atlantis was the projection.
Amanita is the correction.
In essence, Amanita came forth because of the fall of Atlantis to guide humanity through this epoch of human history to dispel the illusions and mirror ourselves so that we could deconstruct the patterns.
that
we exhibit and have
developed over the years and move into a new world, essentially.
Wow.
I haven't heard that theory before.
That is interesting.
This theory is one that really only
I know and a few other people, because they've told me via their experiences that they were told on high doses of Amanita that it wasn't around during Atlantis.
Interesting.
Yeah, because certain substances, psychedelics, they report seeing the same things or hearing the same stories.
For sure.
Like ayahuasca, you hear about the aliens.
Yep.
Yep, absolutely.
Yeah, with Amanita,
the consistent report is I've never felt so close to to God.
And God, it becomes an internal thing.
Like we're all God.
We're all divinity.
We're all fractals of the infinite and the one.
And Amanita, it seems to connect us to that divinity in ourselves more than anything else.
So that's that consistent narrative.
And I can attest to that in my own personal experiences, which I could write volumes about.
But like nothing brings me close to, nothing brings me to God like Amanita does.
Is there like an OG in this space that has been eating this for decades?
No, not really.
Not really.
Yeah.
it's so like you know like i mentioned we were the first to start selling here in the states um
and there have been people
there was a guy named don teeter in the 90s who who got really into it um there was a little bit in in the you know the psychedelic revolution like it was it was around a little bit but i don't think people knew how to prepare it i don't think it was time i don't think people were ready for it to to dispel illusions and to deconstruct personality or maybe not personality but structures that aren't beneficial.
I don't think it was time for it in the human epoch or human story.
In Russia, they have some history with it, some lineages that have stuck around.
So there's some people in Russia that have probably been around for a while, but no, in the United States, it's really, really new.
And it started four years ago, and it started with a woman named Amanita Dreamer and then with myself.
Wow.
Yeah, that's fascinating.
You're at the forefront of this.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Wow, it's such a new movement.
It's fascinating because it's been around for so long.
Yeah.
It's the most prized plant medicine in human history like and but it's been scrubbed from the earth uh the history has been completely scrubbed it's been demonized throughout the year labor years labeled as poisonous toxic which is all a bunch of bullshit um
and yeah it's it's it's finally time for it to to resurface and to to play out its mission which i'm so you know blessed and honored and humbled to be able to have a hand in it and from my perspective like i just need to become the best mirror to allow it to do its work properly you know so like my my goal is to get out of the way you know
this causes you to really have self-reflection when you take it right for sure yeah 100 yeah yeah so like um
yeah we'll get into this a little bit so like if somebody has you know anxiety or anger issues or something like that it it allows you to see exactly what is happening internally and externally to to bring about your reactions.
It also gives you, it seems to allow you some space in between those reactions so that you can choose the higher path all while you know eliciting like a really pleasant feeling and a relaxation.
So you're calm, you're happy.
You're much, much easier able to navigate towards that higher path.
And then it seems to also have like a little gent gentle nudging mechanism.
So it kind of gently nudges you there.
So you're very, it allows you to really see and witness like what's going on internally with you and why you have these reactions and these issues, even if you didn't know about the issue in the first place.
And this is potentially why it was like, you know, the,
it's said to be the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, Eden, like Eve recognized that she was naked, you know.
It allows us to recognize and see things from a different perspective.
And then it also seems to like rewire the brain.
We don't have data on this, but it seems to rewire the brain as we've talked about.
So like once, once you make that decision to move to the higher, higher choice, the synapses fire, the neurons fire, synapses connect so that the next time, even when you're not on the mushroom or utilizing the mushroom, you can make that
decision easier.
So, and this is why, like, if you can imagine that with something like anxiety or anger or whatever, but imagine that in every single area of your life, every single situation being gently nudged to choose the higher path and then rewiring the brain so that one potentially rewiring the brain so that when you choose that higher path, it's easier to choose next time.
The transformation that it elicits can be absolutely astounding.
Hence, you know, the Christ mushroom.
That's powerful.
Yeah, because when we make bad decisions, usually we're in a bad state of mind.
For sure.
Yeah.
That's, that's a key part of it, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So this kind of alleviates that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, very, very much so.
It's, it's hard to find people in bad moods if they're utilizing Abanita.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That makes a lot of sense.
So if you're just walking around in the woods and you see it, can you just eat it?
No, yeah.
And this, so this, this ties into like the poison toxic thing.
And it's almost like a self-governing mechanism in a sense, in which like maybe it's, maybe it's a mechanism in the mushroom itself that's stopped it from being utilized on a mass scale up until this point.
Because if you pick it out of the ground and eat it, you're going to get sick.
Most people, nine out of ten times, you're going to get sick.
So it needs proper preparation and it's really simple preparation.
It's drying.
Like that's really it.
And then you can prepare further brewing a tea.
But yeah, picking it right out of the ground and eating it is generally a bad idea unless you know really know what you're doing and you're eating really, really low small small amounts.
So that's, and you know, that's why we have pre-made, ready products ready to go that have gone through the process of of converting you convert one compound into another i won't break down the pharmacology here but um and it it negates that risk of of getting sick but it's it's so interesting that it seems to have this like self-governing mechanism that's kept it away from people and also made it much easier for the powers that be to label it as toxic and and poisonous i wonder why the trying helps it must be something in the
yeah so so there's in In its fresh state, it produces ibutinic acid.
Ibotinic acid hits the glutamate system, which is what ketamine hits,
which can give it kind of a dissociative quality.
I also think that that probably has a lot to do with the neuroplasticity and the rewiring of the brain.
But as the mushroom dries, the ibotinic acid decarboxylates or converts into muscomol.
Muscomol hits the GABA system or the inhibitory system, the relaxation system, the increase in sociability, same thing that alcohol hits.
So when you dry it, you convert a lot of that ibotinic acid into muscomol.
Ibutinic acid in super large doses can make people sick.
So that's that's where it comes from.
Yeah.
Any big revelations on your macro doses with this?
Yeah, I mean, it's yes, yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, it's almost hard to put into words.
Um, I think for me, I've been, I've been following the story.
I've been shown at least my aspect of the story of God and the divine.
And like I mentioned, it connects me, it connects me with God, like connects me with the divinity in myself and the divinity within you and within and in everybody, everything, you know.
But yeah,
it's almost hard to, it's hard to tangibly put into words.
And you go so far out that when you come back, like you can't take a lot of it back.
But every time I go out, I come back with a little bit more and a little bit more.
So it's not as much the
revelations and insights that have come of it.
It's more what it's done to me internally and how it's changed me.
And what it's done is it's made me a much more loving, compassionate, caring, kind,
understanding individual.
And yeah, that's its magic right there.
Have you noticed an increase in psychic abilities?
For sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the first time I took it,
I was talking with my sister on the phone.
I took a micro-micro dose, extremely small amount.
And I was going through benzo withdrawal.
And so it was the first time I had felt relief really in like a year.
And it was...
it was miraculous.
It was like I was drowning for a year and I couldn't breathe.
And finally, I was able to take a breath.
But micro microdose like shouldn't pharmacologically, it shouldn't have had any effect on me.
And I was on the phone with my sister and she worked at a vineyard at that point in time and just got a shipment of grapes in.
And in the grape boxes were some lizards.
And so she took a lizard and brought it home and she's telling me this story and how she's building this habitat for it.
And all of a sudden I blurt out Frank.
She was like, yeah, how did you know I named him Frank?
And it was just, you know, like I get these things.
Like I think a lot of people, you know, like you're on your phone rings and you think of the name and you look at it and you're like, oh, yeah.
So a lot of people get these.
But one of the things that we're realizing, and as we've been able to gather tens of thousands of anecdotes, we realize and we hear that intuition increases to an insane degree, that various other psychic faculties seem to pop up for individuals.
There was a book written by Andriha Puharik, I think is the name, called The Sacred Mushroom.
And he, it was written in the 50s.
He was a ESP researcher, and then he got drafted to the army or like went to the army to be a doctor or something and one day his old assistant or something hit him up and said hey there's this guy here who um
who touched this ancient egyptian artifact and ended up going into a trance and channeling this ancient egyptian high priest talking about these sacred mushroom rites and rituals i was like okay interesting so he you know when he's done with the army he goes and he studies this guy and he finds that The whole, it's a really dry book.
They're talking about, it's basically him trying to figure out if the guy's hoaxing or not.
And his conclusion is that he's not hoaxing.
And then after that, he goes in to study the mushroom, but he didn't know about preparation or anything like that.
But what he found was with the few studies that he did with people that he called sensitives, individuals that have super high, like they're able to do the card tests and name, you know, statistically unlikely, large amounts of the cards that they shouldn't know.
If they take even a small amount of the mushroom, they in the book, the studies that he did, they scored 100% on the test.
So people with increased, increased already connected um apparently like very connected apparently it increases psychic abilities by a ton so if anybody's out there that's super connected and you want to test this out like hit us up because we'd love to uh to study you guys and like i just i just connected with an individual who's who's in this realm and sent her some mushrooms we'll see how i'll connect you with a couple psychics please yeah that is interesting yeah super interesting there's something there man because have you seen the telepathy tapes yet yeah autism link
telepathy yeah fascinating.
Yeah, there's something, and a lot of people are being born with autism right now.
Yep.
Yep, absolutely.
Yeah.
Super interesting.
Yeah.
It's another layer of connectedness, you know, yeah, or increased connectedness.
Yeah.
Well, where can people watching this get some of this product?

And if one wants to explore more, there's plenty of information on the website to look into that.
Love it.
Thanks, Matt.
