“It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.” -Henry David Thoreau
The majority of us have spent most if not all of our lives adhering to a specific mold and model of what we believe we should be. Whether that expectation was impressed upon on us by parents, through peer pressure, or even by society as a whole, we’ve had little space to become the people we have the potential to be. Eventually, this can start to wear on us mentally and many of us are left at a loss about how to make it better… But have you ever considered that there are different ways of thinking and different methods to help open your eyes?
Today, we’re welcoming Dustin Erickson, our friend, and executive assistant, to talk about psychedelics, alternative methods of mind expansion, confronting our fears, and how we can adjust our ways of thinking.
Tune in and listen to episode five. We’re talking to Justin about sensory deprivation, psychedelics, and how these alternative methods can help open our minds and expand our perspectives.
