Summary

In the 80s, the CIA started a secret project to explore altered states of consciousness… and what they discovered may change how you see reality.

In this episode, Aaron Doughty exposes what those declassified documents reveal about the nature of the mind, manifestation, and the illusion of control.

They also discuss how fear, ego, and identity shape our reality, and why surrender may be the most powerful spiritual tool we have.

OUR GUEST

Aaron Doughty is a spiritual teacher and YouTuber with a community of over 1.8 million subscribers, dedicated to assisting people in expanding their consciousness. In 2012, he underwent a spiritual awakening that profoundly transformed his life.This awakening ignited a journey of self-discovery, involving reading hundreds of books, listening to seminars, and introspectively searching for answers. Throughout this journey, he let go of a painful past, discarded labels that no longer served him, and liberated himself from many of the autopilot beliefs he had previously operated under.Since that pivotal moment, he has felt a deep sense of purpose in empowering others to recognize their innate high vibrational nature and free themselves from the pain and negative experiences of their past.Aaron believes his purpose is to raise his own vibration and level of consciousness, all the while helping others achieve the same. He believes, deep within, you too are on a similar journey of raising your own vibration, and as you do so, it has a transformative impact on the world.AARON DOUGHTY

0:00.0	Aaron Dowdy. Thank you for being here, bro. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
0:04.6	And what do you find most annoying about the New Age spiritual movement? Yeah. Yeah, there's a few.
0:11.3	It's interesting because the things I find most annoying about the New Age spiritual movement
0:16.4	are traps that early on when I went through my spiritual awakening were things that I went through.
0:23.4	So when I judge it in people, I'm also kind of like judging it in like a past part of myself
0:30.0	that I acknowledge I, you know, in certain ways like kind of went down certain rabbit holes you know um more
0:40.4	recently one that's a little surprising to some people that watch my content is i actually have

0:59.5	which I think can be a very powerful thing.
1:01.8	But my perspective now when it comes to manifestation is that a lot of what happens with
1:08.4	that is it's people that want to control reality or control outcome
1:14.8	so that they can then feel good on the inside.
1:19.4	And the shadow side of this is that it comes from a place of not feeling safe in reality.
1:27.0	So it's a very attractive idea that it's like, hey, you can
1:31.5	think about what you want, you can feel it, and you can create it an external reality is sort of
1:39.6	a way about going about if I want to feel safe or control like how I feel, if I can manifest
1:47.7	on the outside the conditions that I want, I can then feel good on the inside.
1:53.6	And the challenge with this is that it also creates a lot of control, us trying to control
