I need to take a break from this life as a human for 45 minutes and go experience a little bit of immortality.
And when you start using a lot of psychedelics, and particularly a lot of the natural psychedelics, my experience has been that I come in contact with some very old entities. And these entities have been around for a while, at least since humans first started experimenting with these plants.
Well, with all the experiences I have had, I would say the most disappointing ones are the ones when I have not taken enough.
And so much of these plant psychedelic entities are at least 4,000 years old.

They are aware of you, they are aware that you are a person, and they are able to communicate with you.
