Update on week 2 in the microdosing experiment with psilocybin PLUS a discussion of 'The Psychological Drivers of the Metacrisis' with Iain McGilchrist, Daniel Schmachtenberger and John Vervaeke.

In this video I discuss my changing experiential awareness when on microdoses of psyilocybin and how it enhances productivity.
As part of my ongoing journey I am finding myself drawn to discussions of a new connection to the world we inhabit. The above discussion particularly caught my attention (beware it's over 3 hours long).    • The Psychological Drivers of the Meta...  

00:00 Intro to the protocol and journey
01:41 Experience of soullessness in the built environment
02:35 Going into colour as part of me and startling dreams of 'unacceptable' anger
05:10 My research examining the psychological crisis we're in - my summary of three wise men discussing the state of our world (nothing to do with Christmas!).
07:00 Iain's view of the left brain dominant culture we're in - left and right hemispheres view the world in very different ways drives a worldview that leads us to create mass extinction
10:00 What we focus our attention on determines what we see. If that is isolation and disconnection this distortion of reality creates realworld impacts like physical illness
11:00 My sudden awareness - a crisis of meaning in our lives. Mine was a lack of belonging when I lost my home and my relationship.
12:31 Being unwelcome /isolated drives physical illness - 80% of people in the UK feel lonely
14:00 A wider meaning lost in a secular society - lack of spiritual connection/bigger purpose
15:22 Spiritual connection drives a sense of mattering to other people within a community
16:18 Meaning and purpose are not the same - transcending individual self
17:28 Disconnect drives anxiety and depression limits and distorts reality
18:26 The body and feeling states is missing in this discussion entirely
20:05 Implicit memory stored in body often triggers anxiety - requires somatic connection therapies
21:01 Psychedelics allow a bigger picture awareness - especially in high doses where set and setting is SO important
22:57 Brian Wilson's LSD experience - enhanced creativity but then blew his mind in a negative way
24:00 Productivity as a flow/coherent state not an end in itself - my experience of book writing/researching
25:50 Changing lives one person at a time, via the body and with a more feminine energy
27:00 My middle-aged perspective
