When we segued from talking about dreams into psychedelic use I realized Marko had his first ceremony about 10 years before many of us had even heard of ayahuasca and DMT.
We’re nineteen minutes into a twenty-minute breathing exercise referred to as “DMT Breathing,” and I’m on my back, covered with a Mexican blanket. I’m mostly focused on filling my chest cavity with breaths that cause my body to convulse and undulate and shiver.
We live differently from our ancestors. This is neither a good nor bad thing–it is inevitable as technology and our species evolve. What may have negative consequences is the growing disconnect between people and the natural world.
