Aubrey Marcus and Joe Rogan explore shamanic dimensions, where DMT journeys reveal the sixth (spirit realm) and eighth (pure potentiality) layers—Marcus credits these for his business success and health. They debate psychedelics’ real-world effects, citing inventions and placebo proof, while criticizing Western medicine’s dismissal of mind-body connections. Marcus proposes political leaders undergo psychedelic trials to prove authenticity, contrasting modern scandals (e.g., John Edwards, Al Gore) with Churchill’s flawed but impactful legacy. The Sacred Valley’s ancient stone structures hint at lost knowledge, and Rogan teases upcoming events in Milwaukee (Aug 13) and Denver (Sep 23), blending humor with a call for integrating spiritual and practical realities.

We're back up Yeah, so the You know that the way that the shamans continued explaining fifth dimension is the dream state and You access that sleeping and you also access that on a general level in psychedelic experiences.
Sixth dimension is the realm, is the spirit realm.
And kind of the master of that realm is the Earth Mother, is nature itself.
The collective unconsciousness of all humankind is the fifth.
And that's why when you dream, you can access things outside of yourself.
You know, think of things that you wouldn't have thought of because if somebody else had ever thought of it, you know, you can access that in the fifth dimension, the dream state, outside of time.
So then the sixth is, you know, that's the spirit realm.
That's where if you're going to communicate with any of these totem animals or guides or anything.
And they actually say when you smoke DMT, you get kind of dropped directly right in the sixth dimension.
And there's beings in there that you see.
And it's very common report from people smoking DMT that you see beings.
And it's because you get rocket shipped directly into the sixth dimension where you're going to encounter these different beings that exist in that dimension.
But the overlord of that kind of dimension is Mother Earth.
So a lot of the things you see are kind of animalistic based, especially for the people in the jungle.
Maybe there's different paradigms of that.
But then the seventh dimension, beyond that, is the realm of energetic vibration and large entities.
And that's where they say the ships came from, for me, was the seventh dimension.
And the purpose of the ships was to prepare me for travel to the eighth dimension, which is the realm of pure potentiality, they call it, where you can really affect change on all the dimensions before, including the third and the fourth, affect change in the physical body.
Basically, access, see things in your life, have a completely different perspective outside of time, and that's the eighth dimension, kind of the final dimension that you can arrive.
So, you know, they explained this all after I went through and then said, okay, this is where you were here, this is where you're here, and you know, based on my experience, it might all sound crazy, but it's a paradigm that seems to work for me because I lived it, and I was there, and I did it, and I saw I've seen the physical benefits of what happened when I got to the eighth dimension.
It wasn't like I just got there and no good stuff happened.
My business, the decisions I made, I've been huge.
Things are going really well.
My health is great.
My buddy's good, but who knows?
It wasn't very scientific.
I'm not going to put that one up in the win column.
I'm not convinced that what we experience in a hallucination in that form Isn't absolutely real, but it's just we can't put it in a box.
You can't weigh it.
You can't hit it with a hammer and make a noise, you know?
But the idea that it's just your imagination, people like poo-poo that, like, it's just your imagination.
What is your imagination, man?
Your imagination is a crazy fucking thing.
All these neurons and cells are firing and somehow or another through these ideas manifest themselves or they can manifest themselves as solid objects.
Like the person who figured out the wheel or the guy who makes a fucking computer.
These are all real things that have somehow or another emerged into this dimension from this ethereal dimension of thoughts and ideas and done it through a human being.
And we look at it as like no big deal.
Like, ugh, he thought of it and then he made it.
It's just his imagination.
Oh, you were in the eighth dimension?
Sure you were.
That's just your imagination.
What the fuck is your imagination?
We are very light with our appreciation of that and very lax with our awe as far as What the dimension of the imagination brings us.
I mean, that's a crazy fucking thing.
The idea that the world of thoughts and ideas is actually some sort of an intangible experience that's like right there and from that you can pull things out and create them and put them and then you stack them up on top of each other and then they're physical.
They become a different thing.
But it's from the imagination.
Everything is from the imagination.
So the idea you're saying, you know, anybody that would, you know, critique it, oh, you saw jaguars?
Sure you did.
Oh, you saw snakes?
That's just your imagination.
I don't know what that exactly means.
You know when when you see something even if it's a hallucination and it's changing your fucking life because it's whatever it's teaching you or whatever it's showing you or whatever leverage that it uses to pry your egos Grasp free of your life for whatever amount of time that allows you to sort of reset your RPMs and fucking start anew with fresh purpose That's real Yeah.
It was real.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, what the fuck is the imagination?
Does someone have to pour alloy into a mold and carve those things on it for it to be real?
Do you have to be able to walk up and hit it and make a clang for it to be real?
I've had moments in my life where I was too stressed out and I wasn't balanced, and those are almost always the moments where you wind up getting sick.
And there's a direct correlation between that.
There's a direct correlation between positive energy and positive results in the physical form.
They're all connected.
One of the DMT trips that I had, I'll never forget this because it was a real life-changing experience, you know, the DMT trip is like being shot through a cannon to the center of the universe and all of a sudden you have all the information around you all the time, but it's like they're slippery dolphins.
You can't grab them.
It's like all the information is there, but it's like you can't harness it.
You can't figure it out.
And it's very, very overwhelming.
And it can be terrifying.
And in one trip that I had, I got real scared in the middle of it and I started thinking all this negative shit, it just got away from me.
And as I was thinking all this negative shit, the DMT trip became black and green and dark and it became like jagged and then it just looked harsh and it looked like it started to be almost like cancerous.
It looked like it was growing.
And it was moving in an asymmetrical way.
It was just fucked up.
And then I realized, okay, this is your thinking negative.
Stop thinking negative.
Think positive.
Relax.
Let go.
And as I'm saying all these things, the colors are slowly changing.
You don't know yourself until you have a psychedelic experience.
You might think you know yourself, but I guarantee you, you're going to find out who you really fucking are when you go deep.
When you go deep and you come back and you have to kind of assess everything and you look at yourself through fresh eyes, the ego, while you're sleeping, while you're working, it's gaining ground.
It's like the fucking Fed.
It's stealing money and it's pocketing things and taking control over certain areas.
It really is like the government.
And then you don't realize how fucking embedded it's become in your system until you have a blowout.
Until you have a psychedelic...
Boom!
Blow out experience.
And that ego gets just shucked aside like a fucking explosion in a comic book movie.
And the ego's sitting in a tree with half its clothes off, hanging from branches because it just got blown out.
Then you get to see yourself again.
Then you get to see who you really are.
But the time off of that, man, you've got to be real careful because that ego, he fucking gets out of that tree.
Fucking brushes himself off and clings a hole to you and starts running shit again.
Listen, it'd be a lot easier if you just let me handle this.
I got this.
I get this.
Dude, you're the shit, okay?
You're going to do this because you're the fucking man.
Trust me.
Have a seat.
I'm going to drive.
And the next thing you know, the fucking ego's in control again.
Well, you're a spiritual person, but you're also...
I mean, the idea of spirituals.
The word is a weird, tainted word, unfortunately.
The word spiritual is so tainted.
You know, automatically hippie nonsense comes into play when you start using that.
But the bottom line is you are thoughts and ideas, but you are also a physical, biological being, a vehicle.
And just like your fucking car, where you have to change the oil, And you have to make sure that spark plugs are set incorrectly and make sure that the computer is tuned up.
You have to do that with your body as well.
Your body is a vehicle and if you ignore it, much like your fucking car starts spewing out black smoke and shits out and dies on the road, your body does the same goddamn thing as your car can do.
If you don't maintain it correctly, it will fuck with you.
It will fuck with you, and the ego is a part of the physical body.
It doesn't seem like it is, because again, you can't fucking measure it, you can't beat on it with a hammer, but it is a part of who every fucking living organism that wants to stay alive, that has a conscious...
to recognize that it's here that has self-awareness the ego comes into play because that's how you stay alive that's how you succeed that's how you get girls that's how you fucking get money you get money you work for the ego the ego is it's a part of the machine but it can get away from you you've you know what you're saying there it touches on the very core of my entire philosophy in life which is balance you That's what the warrior poet is.
A lot of people want to push aside or deny the importance of the physical world, whether it's capitalistic gains or whether it's keeping your body fit and sexually attractive.
They want to deny the significance and importance of these things and the meaning of these things almost as a form of socialism because they don't want to compete.
And they don't want to have to be sexually attractive, and so women will say, oh, is that what you care about?
Oh, you're shallow, you care about what someone looks like?
No, I'm a human being.
I'm a human being, and if you're fat, that's gross, okay?
That's just the way it is.
And you can pretend all you want, and maybe you'll take fat with a great personality over skinny that's a cunt.
Yeah, maybe you make some compromises and no one's perfect physically.
But let's be honest about what we're looking at and what you like and why you like it.
And that goes with capitalism as well.
That goes with being a successful person.
There's a lot of people that think that there's something shallow about being monetarily successful.
And I think that's a form of socialistic thinking as well.
You want this to be a level playing field because You can compete.
And that's really what it is.
And you've got to find your fucking place in the sun, jackass.
I think back a long time ago, and I think we've touched on this maybe on the last podcast, but you had to go to war.
And in some countries, you still do.
And I think that's why that Israeli dude was so cool.
Everybody in Israel goes to war.
And he was like, listen, the kids are a little unruly or whatever, but the parents don't care because they know, you know what, 19, you're going to war.
Israeli army is active.
It's very active.
It doesn't rest.
So that's one kind of last people that's holding, but still they're fighting with lasers and a lot of things.
It's an ant that bites you, it stings you, and it feels like your arm is being slammed in a car door for 24 hours.
Apparently, it is blinding, unbearable pain.
And for the coming of age ceremony, these crazy motherfuckers take these ants and they give these oven mitts and they make them themselves and they're all porous and they stuff the ants in there so the ants can't go anywhere.
And you have to shove your hands into these gloves filled with bullet ants.
And motherfucker that looks scary.
The tears that were just streaming down these men's faces as they were going through the ceremony.
When you get through that, man, you have the right to say you're a man now.
You know what I'm saying?
You feel like this is a very clear boundary I've broken through.
I feel like politicians should have to fucking earn their place.
Whether it's bullet ants or a five-step psychedelic trip where it's like, all right, you want to lead us?
Here's what you got to do.
First, you're going to go take a boga.
24 hours is going to It's going to cure you of your addictions of fucking blowing coke off gay intern cock.
Whatever you're into, it'll, you know, at least the coke part, maybe not the gay intern.
I don't think it'll cure that.
But, you know, whatever it's going to, whatever your, you know, addictions are, cigarettes, heroin, coke, whatever, a bogo blast that out of you 24 hours.
All right.
So you go from there.
And then I think they should have to do a fast for a week where they get smoked out every day and have to control their hunger and not eat and think.
And then after that, like, maybe go and do the ayahuasca, you know?
And then from there, bring a bipartisan group to a campfire where they all do mushrooms and just talk about ideas and shit.
And then hit fucking session.
I'll drop a cap of pure pharmaceutical grade MDMA. Now you're getting crazy.
Go through something that shows your character other than the photographs of your cock that you send to your intern.
He busted another guy.
They busted another fucking politician sending pictures of his cock.
Today, some fucking new guy's resigning.
I don't even know who he was.
Just some dumbass who thinks it's okay to send pictures of his dick through his fucking cell phone to some chick who turns out to be working for the enemy.
When someone pretends to be something, they're not.
And we know they're not.
We know that there's no way most politicians can really be the way they are.
You remember how John Edwards used to pretend he was until we found out he was banging some other chick while his wife was dying of cancer and apparently fucking physically threatened her and, you know...
Yeah, and he fucking used campaign funds to hide the fact that he was banging this broad.
So now he's probably going to go to jail.
They're fucking going after John Edwards.
But at one point in time, John Edwards was this lawyer with good old-fashioned American values and pull him up by your bootstraps, you know, work ethic and...
You know, you come to find out that it is impossible to be a pure person, to be the guy that you're pretending to be, to be a politician.
They push it back so far that eventually it pops out somewhere.
It blows out.
They're dressing up like a tiger and taking pictures.
Or Al Gore fucking tries to get his dick sucked while he's getting a massage and the chick wants to charge him with sexual assault.
You know there's some truth.
Something happened there.
You know something happened there.
I don't know what it was.
She might have overblown it.
He might have just rubbed his cock on her just as a little tester.
Who knows what the fuck happened.
But whatever happened, it's not what we thought Al Gore was.
We didn't think Al Gore was whipping his dick out in fucking hotels while he was getting massaged.
We didn't think he was pulling girls on top of him.
We didn't think that was Al Gore.
I don't know if he did that, but he did enough or got into a situation that was enough for him to get in trouble.
You know, I mean, no one talks about what Winston Churchill did with his women.
It didn't fucking matter.
He was fighting the Nazis.
He was kicking ass.
And I think all our politicians now, they're so fraudulent in what they're kind of projecting that it does matter at this point.
It's like, you're a hypocritical, lying little bastard.
But if they were really doing shit and very honest with what they were attacking and the issues they were attacking were honest and they were coming from a real place, it's like, oh yeah, our fucking fearless leader after a tough night, he had some You forgive that stuff.
But when they build this foundation full of puritanical nonsense, then they do that shit.
There's so much going on in the idea of astrology and astronomy.
There's so much going on where they can figure out that the moon is off a little bit with its gravity, and then they have to figure out what is responsible for this error in the moon's gravity.
Well, it could be A brown dwarf star that lays, you know, a hundred million miles outside of Pluto.
And that's like the current theory.
But they can figure that out.
They can figure out, they can measure gravity and know that there's errors in places and try to, like, figure out, well, why, where is this error coming from?
So we know that for sure that the moon's effect and its particular gravity has an effect on tides.
We believe it has an effect on human behavior, although that's all subjective.
We know that these little bodies or these motions and these things that we can't quite grab a hold of have a very physical effect on the Earth, like in the tide.
Who knows how many different things are doing that all the time?
With the procession of the equinoxes, the fact that the Earth wobbles on its axis, a 26,000-year cycle, and in between that times, you never know what is aligned with what when you were brought into this world.
And the idea behind astrology, as fucking flaky and new-agey and bullshitty as it sounds, is that these events, these alignments of stars and positions of the moon and all these different things, they actually affect how a human being is charged as they're set loose from the vagina into the world.
So yeah, I mean, I don't know exactly what the event is that they named the date for.
They didn't go into that.
But what they said is that a new type of person has to emerge at that point.
And that the old ways have to change.
And they will.
And that things will get fucked up enough where they have to.
It's not like...
We all got a rally, but we do, to a certain degree.
We have to prepare for it, but it'll force itself to happen.
So we just need to be ready for it, is what they're saying.
The new era is going to come, and it's going to happen either complete economic upheaval, physical upheaval of the earth.
Whatever's going to happen is going to force our hand, and then the new people are going to have to emerge.
They call it the legend of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent.
But really, that represents the new type of human that comes and starts taking a leadership role.
All of these cock-picturing politicians and everything, whatever they believe is going to happen is going to change that paradigm where all of a sudden that becomes de-emphasized.
Either faith in them gets lost, a new system has to emerge, new leaders, new political structures.
You know, people poo-poo the cultural experience, you know, because it's filled with morons and Lady Gaga fans, but there's nothing wrong with Lady Gaga, okay?
That's part of the trip, and I think she's fascinating.
I like some of her music.
How about that?
And there's nothing wrong with the rest of the cultural experience, even the most ridiculous aspects of it.
It's all part of us, you know, and you don't want to be locked out.
I don't buy that being locked out.
When I talk to someone, I go, I don't even have an email.
Well, you're a fucking moron.
How about that?
You don't want an email?
You don't want people to be able to send you cool shit that you can read?
You don't want photos that'll blow your mind?
You don't want someone turning you on to some fucking article that might change your life?
And for them, it's like, I mean, really, do they want to just affect only the few people in the village?
If you're a real shaman, you're like, yeah, fuck yeah.
I want to get my word out there.
I want to make change.
I want to make things happen.
And I think it goes back to kind of what Pressfield says about professionals, like the professional, the shamans down there were professionals.
They're not trying to be shamans.
They just fucking are.
That's their job.
That's what they do.
And they're professionals at it.
So, yeah, the Internet comes along.
They analyze that tool and they're like, oh yeah, that's cool.
Or if something funny happens in the middle of their ceremony, they're not like, I better not laugh or people might think that I'm not a shaman.
They're like, they'll fucking crack up and be like, and then they'll just get back to their work when they're done.
They don't take themselves so seriously that it's like anything could shake the experience.
It's not for other people.
They're going to do their work and whatever happens when they do their work, that's fine.
They go with it.
And that was something I really appreciated because even when you get out here in this kind of, Slightly pseudo-spiritual thing.
It's like they're putting on an act, you know, like the music has to be perfect, and this has to be, the candles have to glow the light, and the crystal has to be without impurities, you know, and they're like, okay, you know, if they use rocks, they're like, this is a good rock, you know, and it just looks like a fucking rock.
He was arrested in Texas and charged with ayahuasca possession.
He flew into the Houston airport.
And the crazy thing about being charged with ayahuasca possession is the plants that you use to create ayahuasca are not even illegal.
That's the weirdest aspect of it.
I met the guy from Bouncing Bear Botanicals.
He came to my show in Vegas.
If you don't know the story, there was a guy who ran a website called Bouncing Bear Botanicals, and it's a website all dedicated to selling legal plants that have psychedelic properties to them, like the San Pedro cactus that you could buy at fucking Home Depot.
Yeah, well, you can make mescaline out of that shit.
You can open that bitch up, make some peyote if you know what you're doing, and trip your balls off.
This is off some shit that you just buy at Home Depot, and it's totally legal.
It's a beautiful cactus, and a lot of people don't even know about the psychedelic properties of it, they have it just to decorate their garden because it's pretty, but it's not illegal.
So he has this there.
He's selling this.
He's selling the different Socotria viridis and the different plants that you mix to make ayahuasca.
He's selling those.
He's selling salvia.
He's selling all these different plants that are absolutely legal.
Morning glory seeds.
A lot of people don't know that morning glory seeds, just those regular fucking seeds that you buy when you go to plant to make flowers, well, the ones that you buy, most of them, they've been treated So that they are not psychoactive.
Because regular morning glory seeds, you can grind those bitches up and eat them and you'll trip your fucking balls off.
You're supposed to treat them because the government is aware of the psychedelic properties of them.
Meanwhile, of course, it's not nearly as dangerous as cigarettes or alcohol or anything.
It's a sanction.
But it's too mind-bending for the government to allow the unwashed masses to participate in.
So your wise daddy government has figured out how to neuter this incredibly brilliant psychedelic plant to the point where most people aren't even aware of its properties.
But regular morning glory seeds was Terence McKenna's first psychedelic trip.
That's what sent him on his fucking wacky journey of being the psychedelic shaman of the new world.
And that was a common thing that people did in the 70s and the 60s.
Before the government got hip to it, they were just tripping balls on morning glory seeds.
So this guy, John, is that his name?
Is that his name from Bouncing Bear Botanicals?
Anyway, there's two dudes that I met that came.
They were high as fuck.
They were so high I could barely talk to them after the show.
They came to my Las Vegas show and I talked to them outside.
And that swarm of people, remember those two of those crazy guys?
They were trying to have a serious conversation with me.
It was like 500 people trying to take pictures and they wanted to hold onto my hand and talk to me.
I'm like, dude, there's a lot of people here.
I can't really talk to you about your arrest.
Glad you're doing the right thing.
Glad you got out.
But apparently they let him out of jail.
They had to let him out eventually because there's nothing you can fucking charge him for.
There's nothing that said that he was making drugs.
And I guarantee you they're scared of it because they're not experiencing it.
It's that simple.
Like when you get into like, Alex Jones believes crazy shit, like he believes that the elites are all smoking DMT. Like they're all, you know, he'll talk to you about, they're all in fucking Guantanamo Bay.
They're all down in Guantanamo Bay and they're smoking DMT, connecting to the spirit world.
They believe in eternal life.
What they're going to do...
And he'll tell you all this nonsense that he absolutely, positively believes in.
But I believe 100% you cannot smoke DMT and not be empathetic towards other people that are doing it.
You cannot take ayahuasca or mushrooms without being empathetic and wanting other people to do it.
These people that are trying to keep Everybody from it, those are the people sending their dicks to their fucking secretaries in their emails.
Those are the fucking hypocritical shitheads with huge flaws in their character that we have running this country and running this world.
And unfortunately, that's...
That's one of our biggest issues.
We consider leaders.
We know for sure that it's a bullshit scam and we allow it.
We have resigned ourselves.
We know that the president has speech writers.
We know that everyone has a bunch of people that will review every word that he's going to say and it's going to be calculated and they're going to sit down and come up with the right words and enact the most emotional impact.
To the point where they used to plagiarize other people's speeches before they got busted for it.
Joe Biden, our own fucking vice president, used to plagiarize.
He would plagiarize Kennedy's shit.
They caught him doing that in 1988. That's why he had to quit running for president.
That's why he had to sit in the background and wait for everybody to forget about it before he could be vice president.
We know for a fact that it's a bullshit hustle.
We're all aware of lobbyists.
We're all aware of special interest groups and corporations donating millions of dollars.
We're all aware that the Supreme Court changed the ruling so that a corporation can now act as an individual so they can donate as much fucking money as they want, which is absurd.
The idea that a corporation that would rely on politicians and their decisions to make money in a way that may or may not be ethical, but they'll rely on...
And then they just donated.
X amount of fucking millions of dollars towards this person.
Have you seen the numbers that they did when they did an audit of the Fed to find out where the fucking money went for the bailout?
And they found trillions of dollars that went to these weird fucking overseas banks and totally...
Beyond description, how much corruption and ridiculous bullshit is involved and how little accountability there is for the distribution of the taxpayers' wealth.
I mean, it's a fucking free-for-all, man.
It's craziness.
So to say that there's a few financial difficulties, the whole thing is built on this foundation of unfixable bullshit and there's no solution in sight.
At some point, when things get fucked, you may have, this is a Joe Rogan fucking emergency podcast.
Listen, this is what needs to happen.
Seriously, and you'll have that power, like fucking John Connor for your own small people of conscious fucking humans who are going to be able to then go out and like, all right, everything we're being fed is nonsense.
I mean, there's a reason why they do these fucking FEMA tests and they have, you know, giant stockpiles of plastic coffins.
You know, that's all been documented.
They've prepared.
They have a lot of drills.
They've prepared for mass extinction events and, you know, big, huge environmental catastrophes, natural disasters.
I mean...
The government has camps.
They have FEMA camps.
These are real.
This is Alex Jones.
He'll start talking about FEMA camps.
But those are real.
They really do have places where they have cots set up and they have almost like a prisoner of war camp.
Because if the shit really does hit the fan, we get wiped out in nuclear war or a fucking asteroid hits or something nutty that fucks up the world, we really are going to have to detain a lot of people.
We're really going to have to calm everybody the fuck down.
If we're going to evacuate areas, we're going to have to have places to shelter these people.
We're going to have to have buses where women and children are crying and they're being separated from the father and the father's sitting there with the son and we'll meet you at the camp and that's real shit.
They're going to get on buses and we're not going to know where everybody is.
They say mostly not because it's too short of an experience.
You have to kind of gather steam through the dimensions or something like that.
And the smoking the DMT kind of skips over the fifth where you usually kind of start getting in these dreams.
It's like wham, bam into the sixth.
And that's why they say that there's some disorientation there.
A lot of lessons to be learned in wisdom.
Anytime you sneak outside of time, which is how they describe it, is sneaking outside of time, you have lessons to learn.
But Once you're there, you have a short window of time and you're trying to absorb as much as possible.
But the forces aren't there to align you to help push you farther because that's a process.
You have to gain knowledge.
Like what happened to me, I had to download something or whatever they said in the 7th to get that farther.
Just have more steam and energy to get there.
And they talk about it as fuel.
The problem with the smoking...
DMT is the fuel runs out.
They have enough fuel to get you into orbit, but it's not that extra afterburner that's going to come in and shoot you to Mars after you're outside of the atmosphere.
Eventually, it's just going to suck you right back in.
That's what they say the difference is between those.
Some of the challenges were just reintegrating, you know, and a lot of that's just you get to this different world and experience different things, but you leave your life on the treadmill running full speed, you know, and I tried to hop right back the fuck on and I got, you know, tripped up and slammed against the back wall, you know, to use that analogy.
Like, it's hard to get back, you know, and hard to find Kind of the balance of integrating what you found out there or not.
I feel like I've changed The way I look at things has changed.
The fact that I view myself now more like a needle piercing a nine-layered onion, and you're consciously aware of the first four layers, that part of the needle, but you're still connected to another five layers above you, and you just don't see it.
Just that very thought alone has changed It's changed my life.
It's hard to incorporate in everyday things.
I've been focused pretty much solely on launching AlphaBrain and making sure that all goes well, and it's been very focused on that.
But in my quiet moments, when I can meditate, I can think back and think what I want to do next time I go down there and what lessons I can learn.
So this is the shit that we've been talking about on Twitter and we've talked about it on the podcast before and this is a formula that Chris has put together and that we're selling and it's called AlphaBrain and It fucking does something, man.
First of all, it gives you incredibly vivid dreams, and it seems to fire up your brain at a higher RPM level or give you some clarity.
I feel like it helps me form sentences better, you know what I'm saying?
I mean, I don't know if that's what's doing it, but I feel like, man, I'm fucking talking pretty smooth sometimes when I'm on this stuff.
Technically, what they say is that it enhances synaptic plasticity, which is the way that your neurons can kind of fit together and transfer information.
So what it is, it's GPC choline, which is a great form of raw choline, the best form of raw choline, really, glycerophosphol choline, easily absorbed through the blood-brain barrier, whereas some of the other cholines are not.
So it's most expensive and best choline for you.
And then we have huperziocerata, which has a proven compound called huperzine A, which is an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor.
And that prevents the breakdown of the acetylcholine in your brain.
And what acetylcholine is in charge of is in charge of You know, focus, memory, clarity.
All the Alzheimer's treatments currently, almost all of them focus on rehabilitating your acetylcholine levels and boosting your acetylcholine levels.
So even huperzine A, which is part of the huperzia serrata, has been tested in that capacity.
So this is all very, you know, very scientifically proven.
This is not anything hokey pokey.
It's just a fact.
Higher acetylcholine levels lead to this.
Now, the problem with higher acetylcholine levels, otherwise everybody would just be jacking their acetylcholine up, It can lead to anxiety, anxiousness, short temper.
If that's too out of balance, you can get kind of hyper aware.
And so what I did with this formula is I said, alright, we want to have strong acetylcholine.
It's good.
It helps your memory, helps your mental drives, helps your focus.
But we don't want to have all the other things.
So I created a balance formula.
And I included things like GABA, which controls kind of relaxation and kind of calm and mental clarity in that kind of calm state.
And then dopamine, which handles a lot of your movement activities and some of your mental energy activities.
Well, it's Mucuna Purines contains a standardized dose of 50% L-DOPA. And Mucuna Purines is a herb, I believe it grows in India.
And so the 50% standardized L-DOPA is the building block for dopamine.
So, yeah, I didn't add dopamine.
Actually, you're able to add GABA directly because they're able to extract it from a plant.
But the dopamine you have to get through, you know, pushing L-DOPA in your body.
Your body will destroy dopamine if you try to put it in directly.
So you build it yourself with L-DOPA. The catalyst in that is, again, the pyridoxine HCL vitamin B6, which we have in there, which helps convert it.
And then I just put a ton of antioxidants that are going to give you energy, help your focus.
The AC-11 in there, that was shown to actually repair DNA in scientific peer-reviewed studies.
So really fucking strong antioxidants.
It's going to kind of eliminate some of that mental fog, clear out some of your free radicals, and then allow the acetylcholine Boost to be manageable by the other components.
It goes L-tryptophan to 5-HTP. 5-HTP then converts to 5-HT, which is serotonin.
That's the fourth component.
I have another separate formula, the rollover formula, which is specifically focused on building serotonin.
So being the fact that I have that there, there's just not that much room in the capsules.
And it is important to have.
But I recommend that, you know, that doesn't need to be so much in balance for this formula to work.
But it is a crucial part of things.
So I recommend either taking my formula or another form of 5-HTP. But it was just a little bit much to fit an efficacious dose of 5-HTP in this alpha brain to bring that fourth component up.
And so do you recommend people taking that if they're not coming off of a, you know, the roll-on or roll-off is supposed to be like you do MDMA and then your levels are jacked?
And so the reason why that's happening is acetylcholine regulates REM sleep.
That's what determines, you know, you get a wash of acetylcholine during your REM sleep.
So the fact that you have excess surpluses of acetylcholine created by the GPC choline and the Herperseus serrata allows a deeper and broader wash of acetylcholine to go through Your sleep cycles.
And so your REM sleep becomes way more intense, longer, and more vivid than when you do have low levels of acetylcholine.
Speaking of lost civilizations, I'll be in Milwaukee.
August 13th at the Pabst Theater with Joey Coco Diaz.
Tickets are on sale right now, and it's like half sold out already, so don't sleep.
And then also on September 23rd, Joey and I will be in Denver, Colorado at the Paramount Theater, and that is also just about half sold out now.
Denver, showing lots of love.
I can't wait to come back to Colorado where I will eventually go when the shit hits the fan and society crumbles and I have to live in the woods near where my dog died.
Folks, that's the end of this fucking show.
We've had a fantastic time.
Chris and I are going to go check out Red State.
We're going to go see the premiere of Kevin Smith's new movie and we'll have a full report on that.
