  • Unveiling Genesis: Dr. Rick Strassman on Creation, Prophecy, and the Human Experience
    2025/05/14
    Episode Overview: In this captivating episode of the Higher Density Living Podcast, host Jason Rigby sits down with Dr. Rick Strassman, a world-renowned psychedelic researcher and author of the groundbreaking book DMT: The Spirit Molecule. Known for his pioneering clinical research on DMT and his deep explorations into altered states of consciousness, Dr. Strassman brings a unique perspective to the table as he dives into the Book of Genesis. Together, they explore the intersections of biblical narratives, Jewish tradition, and the spiritual insights gleaned from his decades of psychedelic and personal inquiry. From the creation accounts to the Fall, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel, this episode unpacks Genesis through a lens that blends science, spirituality, and prophetic wisdom. Dr. Strassman shares his journey from Zen Buddhism to Judaism, his literal approach to interpreting biblical texts, and how his DMT research informs his understanding of human consciousness and divine interaction. Whether you're a spiritual seeker, a psychedelics enthusiast, or simply curious about the deeper meanings of Genesis, this episode offers a thought-provoking and enriching discussion. Meet Dr. Rick Strassman Born in 1952 in Los Angeles, California, Dr. Rick Strassman is a clinical psychiatrist, psychedelic researcher, and author whose work has reshaped our understanding of consciousness. After graduating with honors from Stanford University in biological sciences and earning his medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, he built a distinguished career in psychiatry and psychopharmacology. His groundbreaking DMT studies at the University of New Mexico in the 1990s marked the first U.S.-approved psychedelic research in over two decades, earning him global recognition. Dr. Strassman’s books, including DMT: The Spirit Molecule (a quarter-million copies sold and translated into over a dozen languages) and DMT and the Soul of Prophecy, bridge science and spirituality. His latest work, My Altered States (December 2024), is an illustrated memoir exploring his personal experiences with altered states from birth to early adulthood. Currently a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Dr. Strassman resides in Gallup, New Mexico, where he continues to write and consult for psychedelic startups.

Genesis Through a Jewish Lens Dr. Strassman shares how his return to Jewish texts after leaving Zen Buddhism in 1996 shaped his understanding of Genesis. Raised in a conservative Jewish household, he re-engaged with the Hebrew Bible as an adult, finding parallels between the vivid experiences of his DMT volunteers and the prophetic visions of biblical figures. Two Creation Narratives: Genesis 1 offers a cosmic, orderly account, while Genesis 2 zooms into a detailed, human-focused story. Dr. Strassman views them as complementary—an overview followed by specifics—reflecting a divine act of creation from nothing.Divine Order and Cause-and-Effect: He explores how Genesis reveals God’s nature through the laws of cause and effect, suggesting that nature itself mirrors divine will. 2. The Fall: Free Will and Consciousness The conversation delves into Adam and Eve’s disobedience, which Dr. Strassman frames as the first exercise of free will with explicit consequences. He challenges the notion of the fruit as a psychedelic, instead emphasizing its role in shifting human perception from truth to the duality of good and evil. Shabbat as Eternal Rest: Jason raises the idea of the Sabbath lacking an “evening and morning” close, hinting at an eternal state. Dr. Strassman connects this to emulating God’s rest, though he notes the Hebrew Bible avoids afterlife specifics. 3. Cain, Abel, and the Flood: Sin as a Virus From Cain’s envy-driven murder of Abel to the violence (Hebrew: Hamas) preceding the Flood, Dr. Strassman sees these stories as literal events encoding lessons about human nature and societal decay. The Flood, he suggests, was a divine reset prompted by humanity’s failure to align with God’s intent. Sons of Elohim: Theories range from angels to elites interbreeding with humans, disrupting divine order. Dr. Strassman remains open but grounded in the text’s ambiguity. 4. Tower of Babel: Misunderstood Ambition Dr. Strassman offers a fresh take on the Tower of Babel, arguing it’s less about hubris and more about humanity’s refusal to disperse post-Flood as God commanded. The scattering, he posits, fulfilled an original divine plan, with the tower as a symbol of misdirected unity. 5. Abraham’s Covenant and Monotheism The patriarchal narratives (Genesis 12–50) shift focus to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Dr. Strassman highlights ...

Jason returns from a European adventure, while Alexander steps into fatherhood with the birth of his son, Gabrael. Together, they unpack the profound alchemy of parenting—blending raw spiritual awe with biological evolution. This episode, Part 1 of a two-part series, invites listeners to explore creation’s edge, where innocence meets potential and exhaustion reveals divinity. Hosts Bio Alexander McCaig: Co-host of HDL, a consciousness seeker and new father, sharing transformative insights from his journey into parenthood.Jason Rigby: Co-host, spiritual guide, and father, back from a European trip, weaving travel tales with deep reflections on the human condition. Key Discussion Points 1. The Return and Life Updates Jason kicks off: “We’re back! My gosh, it’s been some time. You’ve really been gone—you’ve been busy.”Alexander: “I’ve been gone ‘cause I had a newborn recently—one of the most transformational experiences of my entire life.”Jason: “You were in Europe too—Napoleon, Corsica. But yeah, we’re both fathers now. Kind of wow, right?” 2. Fatherhood as Creation’s Mirror Alexander: “The power of creation at the human level—another human growing inside a human because two came together. It’s not just physical, it’s deeply spiritual.”Jason: “It’s a symbolization of creation growth—innocence and potential, that’s all that’s there.”A renewal moment: The newborn reflects creation’s essence—pure, unfiltered, and brimming with possibility. 3. Innocence and Potential in Newborns Jason: “What I love from a spiritual perspective is seeing innocence and potential—so beautiful, we forget it.”Alexander: “They’re helpless, needing 100% of your attention—like tending the most delicate crops.”Jason: “They’re not desensitized like us—they see the world fresh, and we can’t limit that.” 4. The Responsibility of Self-Awareness Alexander: “You need self-control and self-awareness to not impress your stifled energy onto the child.”Jason: “Everything you bring to their care opens their potential—or stifles it. There’s two options.”Alexander: “You’d want the maximum and the best—hoping they take your best and step above you. That’s evolution’s point.” 5. Biological Evolution in Parents Jason: “Parents undergo shocking transformations—gray matter increases, prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus grow for bonding.”Alexander: “Oxytocin’s through the roof—your senses max out, supercharging your brain.”Jason: “Evolution doesn’t stop; having a kid accelerates it for both parent and child.” 6. Sanctification Through Chaos Jason: “Sleepless nights and constant care—it’s sanctifying, a space for divine presence.”Alexander: “Try this: Use the newborn as a candle—gaze into their eyes silently. You’ll be shocked how long they hold your attention.”Jason: “It’s pure connection—a meditation.” 7. The Energy of Naming (Gabrael’s Story) Alexander explains naming his son Gabrael Rowin: “Energy in names matters—spelling and meaning align with creation’s patterns.”Why “Gabrael” (AEL spelling): “An older, primordial form meaning ‘might of creation,’ synced with birth timing and Chaldean numerology.”Rowan: “‘One who lives in righteousness’—congruent energy for his potential.”Jason: “I love that—it’s not just a name, it’s intentional energy.” 8. Awe and Exhaustion as Spiritual Gifts Jason: “Why do we feel awe in exhaustion after birth?”Alexander: “It’s creation reminding you of true purpose—a visceral truth you’ve ignored, demanding your attention.”Alexander: “You could feel this awe every moment if you paid attention, but the baby forces it. Look at the raw power and beauty.” Memorable Quotes “The power of creation at the human level—it’s a renewal.” – Alexander“Innocence and potential—that’s all that’s there in a newborn.” – Jason“Your brain evolves as much as the child’s—evolution doesn’t stop.” – Jason“Creation wakes you up: Look at the raw power and beauty of this.” – Alexander Resources Mentioned HDL Podcast Archives: Explore all episodes at higherdensityliving.comComing Soon: Part 2 of this fatherhood series—stay tuned!
