Are DMT entities actually real? Science officially cares enough to start performing experiments to find out. In this episode us bros dive into the paper entitled "Traces of the Other: DMT Phenomenology in the Framework of Conscious Realism" by leading DMT and Conscious Realism Scientists Dr. Andrew Gallimore (@AlienInsect), Dr. Donald Hoffman, and Dr. Niffe Hermansson. Dr. Hanania goes h...

In part 2 of our state-change mini-series, Z&J dive deep into how the things we focus on, the language we use to assign meanings to events, and the self-talk we have with ourselves forms an identity - and how focus, meanings and self-talk has the ability to energize us or deplete us. In the episode, we get into a study done by Stanford University on Tony Robbins events and how the formula of S...

To kick off our ongoing series on the brain, Dr. Jordan and I are starting off with 2 episodes on changing our energetic state. Our state can be defined as the snapshot of our physiology and psychology in any given moment, based on the exact neurons firing in the brain at that moment. Our state determines the amount of energy we have in that given moment, and with heightened energy we can show up...
