#20. Raphael | 60 Years of Psychedelics: Stories from the Underground
Research shows psychedelic medicine can profoundly affect depression, anxiety, trauma, and end-of-life suffering. By entering non-ordinary states of consciousness, people often find deep healing and transformation. At institutions like Johns Hopkins, studies on MDMA, psilocybin, ayahuasca, and mescaline reveal lasting shifts in mood, perception, and connection. For many, these states of insight and release open new ways of relating to pain, the self, and the world.
But beyond the science lies the lived experience. Today’s guest, “Raphael,” has explored these inner landscapes for over fifty years in the underground psychedelic community. He shares personal accounts of spirit encounters, realms of consciousness, and the lessons water and plant medicine have taught him about awareness, healing, and release from trauma.
Together we explore how psychedelic medicines can help quiet the ego, reconnect you with your true self, and offer a profound sense of interconnection and transcendence that can ease depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Thank you for joining us.
