In this conversation, Ben and I discuss how our respective life’s journeys have intersected with the psychedelic plant medicine ayahuasca, and how our spiritual journeys have been impacted by the lessons ayahuasca has taught. From there, we discuss Alan Watt’s advice to “hang up the phone” after answering the call from psychedelics, and how to follow the heart’s intuition in determining which dharma door you step through. We then dive into discussions on the Perennial Philosophy, free will and determinism. We later discuss the tension between logic & intuition in both the scientific community at large and within our own psyches. Please enjoy!
