Episode 38 – Steve Pavlina is a cosmic explorer, author, international speaker, and coach dedicated to helping people create extraordinary lives. His personal development website has attracted more than 100 million visitors, and he has written more than 1800 articles on a broad range of self-development topics.

In this expansive and introspective episode, I sit down with Steve to explore the depths of reality, consciousness, and the mind-bending experiences that come from psychedelics like Ayahuasca and psilocybin. We dive into the nature of subjective reality, discuss the power of releasing resistance, and share personal stories that challenge the boundaries of what is possible in both individual and collective growth.

In this episode, Steve offers profound insights on releasing resistance, living shamelessly, and intentionally co-creating reality with others. Together, we uncover how we can move beyond limitations and embrace the infinite potential of the simulator we live in, ultimately posing the question: can we unlock "God Mode" in this cosmic game we call life?

Expect to learn:

• The difference between subjective and objective reality and how our beliefs shape what we consider real.
• How to treat reality as a dream simulation to manifest outcomes, big and small.
• The playful nature of reality and how interacting with it leads to synchronicities.
• How to set intentions as invitations, allowing reality to respond in surprising ways.
• Building a relationship with reality through gratitude and trust, like a personal connection.
• How gratitude for all experiences, including challenges, can elevate your life.
• Tips for overcoming shame and guilt through vulnerability and personal transformation.
• Effective visualization and manifestation practices for deeper emotional experiences.
• How to normalize wealth and make abundance feel natural.
• Shifting to a neutral relationship with money, seeing it as a tool, not a stressor.
• The power of surrendering financial stress and letting go of fear about being broke.
• How to reframe stressful experiences as growth opportunities.
• Why neediness repels abundance and adopting a relaxed mindset invites more.
• The importance of gratitude for scarcity in creating a foundation for future abundance.
• How beliefs and intentions shape reality, offering ways to break past old limits.
• Steve’s experiences with astral projection and how they shifted his perspective.
• Aligning energetically with your desires to open new possibilities.
• The power of group manifestation to amplify results in subjective reality.
• The healing power of Ayahuasca and other plant medicines.
• How psychedelics teach letting go and flowing with life’s surprises.
• The concept of holographic reality, where everyone reflects aspects of your journey.
• Exploring God Mode and higher levels of consciousness when ready.
• Overcoming shame and resistance to fully embrace life’s joyful experiences.
• The impact of group psychedelic journeys and shared intentions on collective reality.
• How co-creating with others can stretch your reality and manifest new possibilities.

Episode 33 — Eva Kaszycki (@evakaszycki.co) joins James Xander (@emperorjames) for a masterclass on wealth energetics, the masculine and feminine aspects of money, and how to step into wealth consciousness. At the end of the episode, there’s a special wealth consciousness activation that Eva is going to do for you, so stick around till the end.

This is a super potent, special episode. It was initially recorded just for my private community, The God Mode Mastermind, but we decided to share this one publicly because there’s just so much value in it, and I wanted you to get a chance to experience Eva’s insights and downloads.

If you want access to more workshops like this, we’re doing weekly masterclasses in my private community, you can join my mastermind at unlockgodmode.org, that’ll give you access to my course, the community, and access to all the previous workshop recordings.

Thank you so much for listening, have a blessed day, and may you be prosperous!
