  • 24: Psychedelics Experiences

    Research shows that certain psychedelics have a positive impact on depression and various mental illnesses. Human fascination with hallucinogenic substances dates to ancient times. Psychedelics are not hard street drugs, they are hallucinogenic substances that cause visual, and auditory changes. Those who have had psychedelic experience usually express it as mystical or spiritual experience. Although there are some parallels and similarities between psychedelic and mystical experiences, contrary to common belief, intoxication of psychoactive drugs is different from genuine mystical experiences.

  • 25: MARTIAL ARTS OF MIND

    All the talks on strategy and planning about success are meaningless unless we have the physical and mental energy to follow through. The enlightened warriors used traditional martial arts and combative systems to train their body and mind to achieve energy, strength, agility, and speed. And these skills can then be transferred to any endeavor in life. Authentic martial arts are not about violence and aggression but how to prevent it and bring about peace. Martial arts are not about physical skills, belts, ranks and accolades either. It prepares us to face life’s challenges. When we are in the storm of life, how much we can bench press is irrelevant.
