In this episode, Sam Church sits down with James Xander to talk about psychedelics, consciousness, and what happens when you go deep within yourself.
James shares the story of his first DMT trip — alone in a car park — and how it completely changed how he saw reality. They explore what psychedelics like DMT, ayahuasca, and mushrooms can reveal about life, the mind, and who we really are.
They also talk about the challenge of coming back to “normal life” after big spiritual experiences, and how to actually use those moments to grow into your next-level self.
