Crack open the structure of your calendars, grids, and lists to find an expansion of time within moments of stillness.

There is worthlessness hiding inside most of us. It is a modern malaise, born of our separation from the divine, from nature, from ourselves. Often it lurks deeply enough inside that it is almost fully unconscious and quiet; sometimes it lives closer to the surface and runs narratives of hateful talk we can hear inside our own brain. That day, whatever latent self-hatred was in me made an unholy union with money.

All psychedelics, when used wisely, re-wire the parts of ourselves that are cut off from our divine nature back to the source. True awakening includes the totality of the human experience, especially the aspects that we tend to shun and surround with fear and confusion: sex, money, and death.

A shaman is a spiritual practitioner who serves as a mediator between the human and spiritual realms. Shamans possess the unique ability to tap into the energetic forces around them and guide others in their journey towards consciousness and awakening.

What exactly lies at the intersection of capital and consciousness? The marriage of the two seems paradoxical—money is often excluded from spirituality because capitalism is popularly perceived as the antithesis of awakening and as a force that empowers consumption in excess.

How do we negotiate the fears, hold to a boundary, and tame the ego through this challenge?

Inside each attachment lies the opposite energy, which is freedom.
