Our bodies are made up of living organisms and things, things in the gut. It's kind of like if a little white blood cell thought: oh, I'm just a blood cell, I'm just by myself doing my work and whatever. And my radical non-duality just goes all the way and says: nope, you're god, actually you're not just connected to everything else, you are everything else.
Ever thought about how psychedelics can be more than just therapeutic tools? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Change Truth', Carl Christensen sits down with Martin Ball, a professor at Southern Oregon University with a PhD in religious studies. Martin dives into his theory of non-duality and the multifaceted uses of psychedelics. He emphasizes that these substances shouldn't be pigeonholed as mere therapeutic aids; their potential stretches far beyond that.
Martin also delves into the evolving societal views on drug legalization and the historical context of psychedelic use. Arresting everyone who uses these substances, he argues, flies in the face of human history. He shares his personal experiences with Ayahuasca, illustrating how it can help dissolve unconscious patterns and break down ego constructs. The conversation touches on spirituality, the role of the ego, and the importance of personal responsibility in one's actions and feelings.
If you're curious about the broader implications of psychedelics or interested in the intersection of spirituality and mental health, this episode offers a fresh perspective that might just change how you see these powerful substances.
