David Michael joins Halusanation to discuss his spiritual journey and how, after a twenty-year departure from Catholicism, his first dose of psilocybin redirected him onto a spiritual path—albeit in a radically new direction full of spiritual discoveries. On this path, he encountered feelings of reincarnation, as he experienced things that felt more like memories than new experiences. He also encountered shadow frequencies and learned why following gurus is ultimately not advisable.

David also talks about how sharing his recent 2024 trials and tribulations served as inspiration for many, especially men who may have been going through similarly difficult life events but privately.

Additionally, David and Dax explore topics including Hinduism, paranormal activity, autism, schizophrenia, and more.

Another update episode where I give an update on the backyard opposums and connect some books together to help you set your expectations until 2033.

The books spoken about are "The Fourth Turning" by William Strauss and Neil Howe, "The Fourth Turning is Here" by Neil Howe, "The Storm before the Calm" by George Friedman, "The End of the World is Just Beginning" by Peter Zeihan, "Why We're Polarized" by Ezra Klein and Charles Eisenstein's "Climate: A New Narrative".

PlainScribe summary of some of what I talk about is... "....the limited power of presidents due to the constitutional constraints. The founding fathers intended for the president to have less power than a king, but the office has gained a king-like quality over time. The conversation touches on the idea that presidents are more like road signs indicating the direction the country is going. It also mentions the concept of cycles, including the 80-90 year generational cycle and the socioeconomic cycle, and how they may lead to chaos and tragedy in America. The transcript references the books "The 4th Turning" by Neil Howe and "The End of the World is Just the Beginning" by Peter Zeihan, which discuss predictions about the future of the country and the global supply chain. The speaker suggests that regardless of who is in power, these cycles will continue, and it is important to find alternative ways to bring about change and revolution. The importance of qualities such as slowing down, joy, play, and sensuality in sparking a successful revolution is also highlighted.

I finish the story of the possums from the previous episode and explain what's ahead for the podcast, including my new lean edit-free approach so listeners can have more useful content vs 1 to 2 episodes a year. I explain how the goal is to work more in the present to connect with eros & heart & community instead of how I've usually worked focused on the future, locked in my head, not really enjoying how long it takes to do anything.
