You do not have to listen to Part 1 to listen to this episode.

In this episode, we focus mostly on Will's trip and his God realization.  Obviously this is a controversial topic and so you may need to read the show notes below for a few clarifications during the podcast. Fortunately there is a lot of build-up that covers how he came to this realization, and then we spend a sizeable amount of time clearing up what he actually means by God. Then we talk about what we did wrong with our first psychedelic journey together and what we need to do in the future to make sure it goes better. We hope you enjoy.

As is always the case, psychedelics are not a toy. Please use them responsibly. We can only speak to our own psychological and spiritual evolution, we cannot speak to yours. If you have mental health issues please seek a professional. There is no shame in getting help and you will never be judged for your problems. We wish you the best in life and in mental health.

Show Notes for Will's Trip

• 1:59 - Doing acid for the first time was less daunting than doing a psychedelic with another person, though it turns out this was really not a huge issue. At least for this trip.

• 9:33 - Putting himself in the shoes of a shy person, Will began to realize how anxiety is created by interpreting reality in a way that reinforces that anxiety, and that this process of creation extends beyond just anxiety.

• 23:44 - No matter what you do, you are ultimately putting the responsibility on your own shoulders.

• 27:29 - Writing down, "every moment is yourself doing it to yourself. Even externally, you are it," led to a God realization…

• 30:46 - For clarity: your anxiety riddled brain is the Universe and your subjective experience of that anxiety is also the Universe. The Universe has built itself in such a way that it can experience anxiety. It has done the anxiety to itself for its own enjoyment.

• 32:26 - What do you mean its own enjoyment? Good question…

• 41:13 - Is this experience at the very least reminiscent of the "spiritual enlightenment," most religious traditions seem to have some sort of spin on?

• 47:00 - Attempting to explain what Will means by Universe-God as opposed to the Sky-God-King of many religious traditions. A property of the Universe is that it can intend, but does intention predate the evolution of human consciousness?

• 51:16 - Our ability to explain our experience is defined, and therefore limited, by our cultural upbringing. How can we possibly say we understand what the founders of religions meant by God when they were living in a completely different culture, often thousands of years old?

• 57:19 - Is a God-realization narcissistic? Yes, but only for people who aren't Will, the one true God. In all seriousness, this is what happens when the apple assumes the Tree is the apple, rather than realizing there is no apple, only the Tree.

• 1:04:38 - Not honouring the psychedelic-enhanced container we had created for one another.

• 1:18:59 - Lessons we took from our experience. For Kaylee, being comfortable with being uncomfortable. For Will, taking his spiritual practice more seriously now that he has a better idea what it's actually aiming toward.
