Step outside the simulation with Vision and Ivan Chocron as they deconstruct reality’s user manual and map the secret circuits of cosmic consciousness. From existential hope and hopelessness to mycelial masterminds giving humanity a leg up, discover why our spee-cial (pronounced like "species") uniqueness might matter more than just being “special.” Are we lonely passengers on a roller coaster ride designed by interdimensional plant spirits? Can Iboga bypass our strongest shields to heal our core wounds and introduce us to the creators behind the curtain? Tune in for infinite fractals, existential detours, and a healthy dose of universal awe as these two explorers rewire the meaning of “human: being.” This episode: part philosophical playshop, part psychedelic field trip, all intentional evolution.
