0:00.0 | Third-eye drops are intended for open-minded adults, now administering the third-eye drops. |
0:20.8 | Welcome back to The Mind Meld, my friends. I am immensely excited about this one, because |
0:29.4 | it's incredibly rare that moments of becoming, moments of personal transformation |
0:38.4 | truly solidify and concentrate into a small measure of time. You know, Carl Young often used to wax |
0:48.8 | that, individuating, the sort of quest to become who were meant to be, is a lifelong process. |
0:57.1 | It's not something that can be rushed, but there do seem to be these instances of increased |
1:04.8 | evolutionary gravity. You know, times of opportunity or kairos, as the Greeks used to call them, |
1:13.9 | and to an extent these moments, I think, can be architected by skilled practitioners, |
1:21.6 | but equally important, the receiver of that transformative emanation has to be primed. The |
1:28.8 | participant themselves need to be primed. It's like a neurotransmitter receptor relationship. |
1:38.0 | If they're not both involved, if they're not both properly tuned, nothing is going to happen. |
1:45.2 | If one or the other is corrupted or incomplete, the whole affair isn't going to amount to one of |

2:07.2 | is one of these kind of interlocutations, one of these kind of kairos inducing interrelations. |
2:15.1 | That said, I am kind of careful about letting these experiences run totally a muck over |
2:22.1 | this podcast, because like I said, the participant has to be a skilled interpreter. There are a lot |
2:29.2 | of bad podcasts I've heard, unfortunately, about psychedelic experiences, where there's not |
2:36.6 | really anything important or actionable being shared. This is why it's so important to have a |
2:46.4 | skilled interpreter. They have to have the ability to make sense of contextualize and integrate |
2:54.2 | their experience for themselves. But if they're going to be on a podcast talking about it, |
3:00.3 | they need to be bringing the medicine back to the audience in a way. They have to be offering |
