Never been a case of addiction, Never been a case of overdose. And when used correctly, and this is so important, when used correctly with a trained facilitator in the right environment, you can create 10 and 20 years worth of therapy within a few days. So here's the. Here's the science behind it, just on a high level. When we're kids, when we're 0 to 9 years old, our brain is in a state of hyperneuroplasticity, right? So our subconscious minds are super impressionable as we're soaking in information. You can learn three or four languages at the same time. You can learn how to operate your fingers and your hands and learn how to eat and talk and everything else all at the same time because you have that neuroplasticity in your mind. Over 95% of our life is run by our subconscious mind. So if something happened when you were a child, your uncle did something horrible, you know, touched you in a way, if your father even something simple, your father just says, hey, you know what? You're not smart enough to be in that class. Whatever it is, these things get imprinted into our subconscious mind. And 95% of our life is driven by that subconscious mind. And if you imagine that neuroplasticity is kind of like. Kind of like if you decided to lay a concrete freeway, right, and you didn't smooth it out, instead you just poured it and it just let it sit wherever you drive on that, it's going to be incredibly difficult to drive on it. That's how our life is driving with all of that bumpiness that's there that's coming up. Well, fast forward. In order to make real changes in our subconscious mind, it takes about 21 days to create a new habit, and for some people, a lot longer. If you're trying to root out something dark that happened in your past, or these negative habit patterns of worry and what if thinking, negative expectations, and the perceptions we have of ourselves, all of these things are super difficult to make those changes. Well, a ceremonial dose of psilocybin, we're not talking microdosing, we're talking three to six grams, okay? A ceremonial dose creates a temporary State of neuroplasticity. Now this is very dangerous to do recreationally with some friends at a rave party. Why? Because if you're in that hyper suggestibility state, that neuroplasticity state, and you've got rap music going on over here, you got somebody yelling at his wife over here, you've got somebody, you know, having sex with three girls over here, your mind in that impressionable state could bring new things into your subconscious. That is dangerous. I had a guy who did mushrooms in New York on Halloween night, walked outside, seeing all these ghouls that fucked him up for life, right? So it's super important that you're in the right environment, come in with the right intention, have the right music, the right frequencies, et cetera. And so for me, my experience was this, and I'll tell you how we're now using it to help adults heal from significant childhood trauma. So for me, I didn't have childhood trauma. I had a great childhood, had a healthy home. My trauma was self induced with a massive success at a young age. Billions and billions of dollars of assets under management. All the money you could imag imagine and the fact that I had left the church of my youth about 20 years ago created a situation where I didn't have a connection with God, I didn't have solid moral principles, I didn't have any of those things. And the money just added to the problem, right? And so in that first experience, the facilitator, knowing what I needed to work through, gave me some very specific strains. There's 180 different strains of psilocybin and these will be legalized within the next few years. Both RFK and Donald Trump both have said that they're going to decriminalize the use of psychedelics. It's so important that when that happens, that Americans know how to use it, right? And how it can actually harm them. And so in this environment with the John Hopkins University has some frequency music that can take you through a very specific journey experience. And I had this frequency music on and on. The medicine, as they say, it was the most beautiful, horrific experience of my life. Horrific because I felt in every cell of my being, everything in me, my heart, my soul, everything about me felt as if I was my kids. And their feeling when I cheated on their mom, right, it was like I was them. It felt like I had this, this foot of Satan stepping on my chest and I was 600 miles in the dirt, just couldn't even breathe right. And I told her to switch the playlist because the music, everything says I couldn't handle it. And so, boom, I switched the playlist and I turned it to what I call my. My Jesus list, right? It was this beautiful redemption music. And I could feel God's hand just pulling me out of that 600 mile deep hole down to hell. I could feel all this tar and this soot of all this shit that I did that was coming off me. And then I said to myself, and this was important because I knew that I had this opportunity, this window in time in this neuroplasticity to make real change. So I said to myself, paul, have you learned your lesson? So I consciously, purposely turned it back to that song that was triggering to me, that frequency music song. And then I felt I went down again. And I could feel the pain of the family that broke up because some guy was at my party and slept with a cheerleader and now his wife left him. And then I felt the ripple effect of those actions. Not only his family breaking up and his wife leaving him, but I felt like, you know, saw the future of potentially his daughter, you know, getting, getting raped because she was in a fatherless home, or maybe the boy got involved with drugs or alcohol, whatever else. And the negative effects of one single thing that I was doing that I thought I was being cool was so profound. And I also felt the joy of the kids that we helped to rescue, you know, that was beautiful, as if I was them. It was no separation, no separation between me and you and me and the rest of humanity. I could feel them all. And I could feel the ripple effect of my actions, good or bad, in every way. And it was, it was so transforming in every way that when I was done with that experience, we went out into the living room and I, the facilitator was there and knew some of my intentions, what I was looking for. And I was, I was still a little bit in my ego self. I was, I was done with, you know, that part of debauchery in my life. But I had these beautiful Greek gods. I had these statues, these big bronze statues of Zeus and Poseidon. In the middle was Atlas. You remember the movie Atlas Shrugged, right? Heard of it. So, yeah, this is written about, you know, capitalism, about. About people that are doers and creators. They're holding the world on their shoulders, right? So I told her, I says, I feel a lot like Atlas. I'm holding the world on my shoulders. But look at that statue. Look how strong his, his stomach is. God made me so strong. I, at the time, I had 4,000 employees of my company, right? So I'm like, yeah, you know, but it was still in my ego self. She was just kind of listening to me and play with my ego a little bit. And then she said, she said, paul, she said, I honor that you're seeing some traits in those Greek gods that you're, you know, you're relating to. She said, but you know as well as I do that those were just mythological gods. She said, what about your relationship with him? And she points at the statue of Jesus that I had. And I said, oh, I don't qualify for a relationship with Jesus. She said, well, why not? And, you know, I'm on mushrooms. I'm in this, you know, but then the music's going on. And she, this is curated. This is facilitated on purpose. She says, well, why not, Paul? I said, well, when I left the church of my youth, my bishop told me until I was rebaptized into that church, I grew up lds. I grew up Mormon, right? And I says, my bishop told me that until I was rebaptized back into their church, that I wouldn't have the spirit of God with me. And she said, do you really think that that's true? And I said, well, no, I. I'm a good person. I. I try, I do a lot of charity work. I. I try to help others. She said, paul, why don't you work on that relationship? So here I'm high, as high, you know, I can barely walk. And I go and I grab the statue. She helps me take it down off the mantle, and I, I sit the beanbag, holding that statue for the next two hours, having the most meaningful, connecting, loving conversation with my brother. And after that, it was so transformative to me that I started doing research on it. I became a master facilitator. My daughter became a shaman. And we have now hosted and facilitated almost 80 guided meditation, plant medicine, healing retreat experiences. Starting out with just my operators undercover. I remember that guy who, you know 300 missions and he couldn't handle one with me. He came to me a few months after I had started doing the work, and he said, paul, he said, I've seen so many changes in you. He says, can I tell you something? He said, I. I love my wife, I love my kids, but I don't feel anything. He said, I. Since I was a Green Beret, I. I think I blocked everything. I don't feel anything. And his wife had been on, on anxiety, depression medication for over 20 years now. And so they came together on one of These retreats. And I remember one night is about 10 o' clock at night and we had just finished with one of these ceremony experiences and he came up to me and he was just crying and he said, paul, he said, for the first time in my life I feel everything. I feel love for my wife and from my wife like I've never felt ever. I feel that love for my kids, I feel love for myself. I feel God's love in my life and you know, people, you know, I remember when I told my mom why my huge transformation, I told her, I says I feel closer to God than I've ever felt before. And she joked, she says, you only feel close to God when you're on drugs. I said, mom, I says, it's not like that at all. It's actually the opposite of what you understand. It's a thinning of that veil. There's significant proof. They talk about it in a book called the the Immortality Key. He does research and shows how the early Christian church actually put a little bit of psilocybin in the sacrament. Not so that people could hallucinate and see crazy things, but so that they could thin that veil and have a deeper connection with the spiritual realm. So in fact John Hopkins University, one of their studies, 850 self proclaimed atheists, not agnostic. So I don't know if there's a God at atheists. There is no God, right? 850 self proclaimed atheist. After one single experience with a ceremonial dose with, with a guided meditation experience with psilocybin, one single day, two thirds of those 850 people change their self diagnosis and said no, I am no longer an atheist. Whoa, that's crazy, crazy study, right? So we, we use that not with the kids. We have certification programs to teach the safe house them heal the kids with art therapy and music therapy, etc. And they're pretty easy to help heal because we know what they've been dealing with. The harder ones is some lady who was abused by her own father, who should have loved her unconditionally, abused her as a child and told her to be quiet. And she's now 45 years old, on Xanax, on Zoloft, on all these SSRI medications, can't get off of them. We can go in, get her off those medications, put her into one of these experiences and create real transformative change for her. Now, now we work almost exclusively with what I call tip of the umbrella. It's world leaders and influencers and royalty and people with if we can help Them learn how to lead from the heart and release those things that don't belong to them. Then we can help millions of people. But we are training other facilitators that as soon as it becomes legal in the US they'll be able to run those retreats here.
