Author of The Bigger Picture, consciousness explorer, and co-founder of Rebel Wisdom, Alexander Beiner enters the mind meld!
Alex is the author of The Bigger Picture, executive director of Breaking Convention, and co-founder of one of my favorite YouTube channels, Rebel Wisdom. Alex also participated in a groundbreaking study at Imperial College London, in which, participants were given extended-state, high-dose, intravenous DMT. His experiences, as you’ll hear, were profound, alien, and life-changing.
In this one, we also riff on the importance of balancing intellectual and non-propositional (experience-based) knowing, wielding numerous philosophical lenses Carl Jung's mysticism, ancient wisdom, consciousness, and much more

0:00.0 | Now administering third eye drops. What were they studying? It was really what happens. I was like, okay well D'NT itself itself it's going to be like wildly metaphysical and full of entities and it was that absolutely it was all those things but there was always a mix of personal stuff and metaphysical but it's certainly the first couple were very like you got to work on |
0:35.2 | before you get to see aliens was kind of the message. The message was actually like you can go to |
0:40.8 | hyperspace but you got to take your baggage with you and your |
0:43.1 | baggage just needs packing in a different way you know it's very powerful. |
0:46.2 | Welcome back to the transmission my friends and I am aware it is something of a |
0:50.2 | grandiose thing to ask big questions about life's meaning and even bigger ontological |
0:57.2 | throbbers like, what is the point of humanity at large? What are we? What exactly are we doing here? How do we fit in the metaphysical hierarchy if that's even a thing? |
1:09.0 | Still obviously I can't help but ask such questions for whatever reason I'm compelled to do it and I do think |
1:16.2 | that it's important to investigate to study to talk about these things come to some sort of |
1:22.1 | intellectual understanding for yourself. |
1:25.6 | But that said, intellectualizing only goes so far. |
1:29.1 | At some point, you must attempt to look, visit the luminous, terrifying, fractal frontier for yourself. |

1:50.5 | because he really does it he really does the work and he does all of the above. He |
1:56.0 | investigates to the highest intellectual level he's capable and that enables him to bring back really unique insights from these |
2:06.8 | Frontiers of consciousness. He's also the author of a truly fantastic book, The Bigger Picture, He's co-founder of Rebel Wisdom, which was one of my favorite |
2:15.9 | podcasts when they were active, and he was one of the very few participants in one of the most insane academic studies to ever occur at Imperial College London |
2:28.0 | where they subjected a few volunteers to extended state DMT, which is, if you're not aware, one of the most psychoactive |

2:45.6 | He's also the executive director of Breaking Convention. |
