Do Your Beliefs Reflect Reality or Create It?

Does it really make sense to convince yourself to believe something that may or may not be true? Where do you draw the line? What defines truth? Is truth an external quality, completely independent of the observer? If reality is completely independent of you, external and objective, then you can say that truth is entirely…

2024 Intentions

After nearly 20 years of blogging about self-development, this year I intend to contribute mainly through video instead of writing, which is a big change for me. I want this to be the first year that I publish more new videos than articles. I’ll still share new YouTube videos via my blog, but if you’re…

Money Is a Psychedelic Too

Money is actually psychedelic. Let me ‘splain… Money isn’t as intense as the psychedelics you put directly into your body – physical consumption changes the intentionality – but money still behaves very much as a psychedelic substance.

My Most Intense Psychedelic Journey So Far

I blocked off Friday evening for another magic mushroom journey. For the two experiences last month, I used about 1.5g of dried mushrooms each time.

Harnessing the Power of Reframing to Enhance Your Personal Growth

In my personal growth journey, I frequently use a transformative tool known as reframing. Reframing is the process of shifting our perspectives (or frames) to better understand and navigate our experiences. This tool is transformative because our framing directly impacts how we perceive situations, make decisions, and ultimately, shape our lives. It’s not just about…

Insights From a Plant Medicine Journey

I had a fascinating weekend of plant medicine journeying that involved taking several different substances: kanna, white lily, psilocybin (mushrooms), and ayahuasca… mostly the latter two. I had only done ayahuasca before (3 years ago for 4 nights in a row in Costa Rica). I shared the insights from that previous experience here: Lessons From…

Exploring AI Art Co-Creation

As I’ve been playing around with AI art tools, I decided to update the associated images for our courses. I wanted to come up with a more unique and personal expression than using the old stock images as we’ve been doing for the past few years. This was a relatively small project, and it gave…
