Sophia Rokhlin returns to the mind meld!
Sophia is the co-author of When Plants Dream: Ayahuasca, Amazonian Shamanism, and the Global Psychedelic Renaissance. She's also an anthropologist that works with indigenous shamans in Peru.
In this one, we rap about the power of intention, whether or not the planet is conscious, the shamanistic perspective on viruses, why 'reality' is probably an illusion, and much more!

0:03.7 | Now administering the Third Eyed Drops. Welcome, Welcome, Wonder Dippers. I hope you're feeling spectacular. It's really feeling like we're on the tail end of the psychic and viral scourge that's upon us and that is something to be celebrated for sure in my estimation. |
0:40.8 | I am sure you've noticed that there has been excessive talk when it comes to |
0:48.0 | making this time about something about turning this into a threshold of some sort or passing through some kind of liminal space, |
1:00.0 | leaving behind the old way of doing things in favor of something better. |

1:39.7 | Honestly, ever since Peru, because it's a word that came up over and over again. |
1:46.0 | And it can kind of take on this platitutie stink sometimes, |
1:52.0 | but if you really think about what it is, it is indispensable |
1:58.7 | important. It is the engine of change. It is the substrate of personal evolution. It is the portal of potential. |

2:28.8 | Meaning Crisis series speaks about this beautifully but in slightly different terms, |
2:36.2 | specifically when he riffs on the importance of problem formulation. |
2:42.1 | That is, if you don't define the problem and the conditions necessary to solve it, you're going to |
2:47.9 | find yourself stifled, meandering, and regressing into old behavioral patterns, blaming everything on external factors that you can't control, |
2:58.6 | whatever. Point being problem formulation and intention are deeply intertwined. |
3:03.6 | They're like two sides of the same coin in many ways. |
