Show notes

“The meaning of life, for me, and it never changed, is you find out who you are. Your duty is to find out who you are, what you are, and do the very best you can with that, and share what you do with other people. That’s what I’ve done my whole life.”

Show notes

“My worry is not that we are socially distant, which we are, which we have been even before quarantine. My worry is that we are spiritually distant, and unless we leave this time with a more serious understanding of our spiritual and ancestral resources, then it’s going to be very hard for anyone to believe that we can access trans-generational ecstasy.”
