🧠 Not So Profound (beta)

Couldn't do it without you, fam.

Respect 🥲🫡❤️🧠

You don’t find DMT.

It finds you when you’re ready.

Set the intention, release the fear, and keep your heart open.

The right doorway always appears when the traveler’s ready to walk through it.

Peel off the mask of illusion, unshackle the chains of expectation, release the ingrained patterns learned, give up the stories of the past, let go of the fear.

It’s never too late to be who you really are.

The world has enough for everyone's needs, but not enough for everyone's greed.

If you must play, decide on three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.

Action is the path to passion.

The self you are searching for is the one doing the searching.

Drop it, and the battle ends.

A fool looks out.

The wise look in.

Integration isn’t about someone telling you how to live.

It’s about weaving the lessons from a psychedelic journey into your daily life.

An experienced guide or peer doesn’t hand you a rulebook - they hold space, offer perspective, and share tools.

You decide how to live it.

Anxiety is a future that hasn’t arrived.

Depression is a past that won’t let go.

Joy is the breath happening now.

Every substance is a mirror 🪞

Psychedelics show you you’re not your ego.

Alcohol & cocaine convince you you are your ego.

That’s the difference between medicine & poison.

My definition of a good drug vs. bad drug:

A good drug dissolves the ego.

A bad drug feeds it.

That’s why psychedelics belong in the good category - while booze and cocaine are firmly in the bad.

Neuroplasticicity isn't always a good thing.

You're under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago.

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek 👑

The sage desires to be desireless.

Most people prefer the certainty of misery to the misery of uncertainty.

the sun is shining through the clouds in a blue sky ALT: the sun is shining through the clouds in a blue sky

Your mind is the sky.

Thoughts and fears are only weather.

Enlightenment is remembering the sky is always bigger than the weather.

Give someone a mask, and they’ll show their true face 🎭

There are no such things as side effects.

There are only effects.

I used to be a fan of LSD.

But after I took it, now I'm an air-conditioner.

One lesson psychedelics teach you over and over again is that control is an illusion.

This isn’t theory.

It’s something you can feel in your bones.

It’s the moment the inner war stops.

It’s the beginning of a completely different life.

6/

When you really let that sink in, the exhausting chase for worthiness ends.

And in its place, a quiet freedom shows up.

The kind that can’t be taken away—
because it was never earned in the first place.

5/

But here’s the truth they never told you:

You’re not valuable because you can run faster, pray deeper, or help more people.

You’re valuable because you exist.

Full stop.

4/

This is why so many seekers burn out on their spiritual path.

They turn spirituality into another competition— another way to prove they’re worthy.

Meditate longer.
Achieve more.
Love harder.
Heal faster.
Manifest bigger, etc.
