Have you noticed that the world that we live in has been doing most of the thinking for you?

That your beliefs, perceptions, reactions, fears, and doubts have been shaped by unsolicited outside noise?

How easy it's been for you to slip into that default sleepwalking mode and label it as life and

reality. Yeah, that ends here. Welcome to the Make

Sense with Dr. J.C. podcast. This is your opportunity to start thinking for yourself,

reclaim control, and step back into that role as the shock caller and dominant force of

your own reality. It's when you change the way that you look at things, that the things

that you look at begin to change. So let's wake up. Let's rise up. And let's make sense of

why and how shift happens. Hmm. Makes sense. Well, hey there. Good to be back. This will be the third part of the Sacred Valley experience that I had.

And I recently got home from in Peru. And this is an interesting episode that we're going to go over a story that represents the dark side of the plant medicine experience.

But what's interesting about that in general, there's a lot of side talk and rumors and you can

read things on the internet about experiences that people have. But what's interesting is whether

you have a blissful experience or a dark experience, like the one I'm

about to share with you, what you'll find is that they all have a silver lining. And that is

something that I just love about the experience is that it represents the obvious nature of being

a human being and where growth takes place outside of the comfort

zone is that sometimes you have to go through some tough times in life, don't you, in order to

get to the other side? And I talk a lot about that in my book as well. So this will be the second

night of my experience in the Sacred Valley at the Arcana Spiritual Center in Peru. And I call this,

this two shall pass. The night, the darkness became my teacher. And just as a disclaimer,

I'm not masochistic. It's not something that I look to do.

I mean, I understand where growth takes place, but I don't like to have a bad time.
