“Through the breath of God, I have learned to breathe. I am everything and everything is me.” Barry Goldstein is a traditional music producer turned Avant-Garde musician. Since his awakening into spirituality from agnosticism, Barry has shifted his talents towards sound healing by allowing music to flow through him rather than by him.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Music composed at 60 BPM can help keep heart relaxed and min in a meditative state

• Science is a bridge to music; it has started to catch up to eastern medicine, where they believe that music brings harmony to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
• Limbic Deactivation: elevated activation at rest and during non-stressful situations.

Dr. Fred speaks with Casey Hardison, who proactively describes himself as "a carbon-based bipedal life form committed to the possibility of passion, love, light and unity for all people."

Casey is a chemist known for his work and advocacy for the advancement of entheogens (psychedelics). Growing up the son of an alcoholic father, Casey began using alcohol and other drugs at a young age, and after seeking support, became sober for eight years. He then discovered LSD, which led to a profound and revolutionary shift to his view of sobriety, drugs, and life itself.

Casey shares the dramatic story of his first experience with LSD and his declaration to enroll in college and study these often misunderstood and underappreciated substances.

Dr. Fred’s mind-expanding conversation with Casey touches the following areas:

• How LSD led Casey to the spiritual awakening promised by the 12 Steps
• Discovering the urgency of stewarding and caring for mother earth and all her relations
• How Casey ended his self-identification with the "once an addict, always an addict" mindset
• "Toxic shame" as the real "demon" in Casey's life
• Are psychedelics produced in a lab profoundly different from "plant medicine"?
• The distinctions of the Landmark Forum
• The role of mindset and setting when approaching entheogens
• Why Casey says the English language contains "semantic spooks" from the past
• Shifting the context from psychology to ontology and epistemology
• Taking radical responsibility for the things we think and say to ourselves and each other
• Casey's arrest in the UK for making LSD, 2C-B, and DMT, and how he became a Constitutional scholar
• The legal defense that made Casey a "folk hero around the world"
• Why Casey will be running for President of the United States in 2024 (really!)

Today's episode features the most famous cosmetic dentist in the world, yet this is NOT an episode about dentistry. Bill Dorfman grew up poor, with the odds stacked against him.

Occasional co-host Sam Morris joins Dr. Fred to discuss the following with Dr. Dorfrman:

• "LEARN so you can EARN and then RETURN" (Dr. Dorfman’s mantra for life)
• The life-altering decision Bill made at the start of his career
• Why you shouldn’t “take” opportunities (and what to do instead) 
• How Dr. Dorfman grew his business through participating in ABC’s ‘Extreme Makeover’
• Skillfully avoiding answering questions you don't want to answer
• Continuous learning to stay on top of one's game
• “Successful people do the things unsuccessful people are not willing to do”
• Why Bill NEVER fails...EVER!
• How to get really good at doing something the WRONG way!
• The transformative work of the LEAP program (a motivational leadership program for young people)
