"Love" - Jahan Khamsehzadeh
We are all one. We should love every human because we are all connected. Love is everything. Psychedelics are crucial to open our minds to understand the universe and ourselves.
There was a time not too long ago where I would've heard ideas like this and thought "what the f*ck kind of hippy nonsense are we talking about?" I am sure there are some people reading this who might be thinking that as well. I get it, without context or the full depth of what the words mean, it could sound like some abstract nonsense.
That is why I strongly encourage you to listen to this conversation (and all of these conversations really--sorry shameless plug) with Jahan. You may not agree with the beliefs or views, you may still think drugs in any form are dangerous, and you may ultimately have a much more straight forward, less abstract view of life. That is OK. But how would you ever really know that if you didn't consider another perspective? How would you know if it is "hippy nonsense" if you didn't actually take the time to understand what is being said? That's why I do this show, to force myself to take the time and consider other perspectives. And I'm glad I did.
Jahan is a Ph.D. who completed his dissertation on psychedelics in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). He wrote a book, The Psilocybin Connection and he also provides Hakomi somatic-psychotherapy and psychedelic driven counseling sessions to clients (full details here- https://psychedelicevolution.org/). He is extremely well read and brings a deep scientific/data driven approach to understanding these "hippy topics."
Learning more about psychedelics was super interesting, but as always my favorite part of the conversation was when we questioned and examined some of the concepts. We discussed/debated if psychedelics are necessary to achieve true humility, if loving everyone equally should be our goal, and if the Aztecs' demise was rooted in their use of psychedelics--just to name a few. Big thanks to Jahan for sharing his knowledge and openly exploring a bunch of interesting topics with me.
