The SHOCKING Truth About DMT Nobody Talks About
The Diary Of A CEO Clips
0:00 For anyone that hasn't experienced DM2, how would you describe the experience?
0:03 I know that's going to be hard to do because of some of my friends have done it.
0:06 And when you ask them to describe it, it seems to be quite abstract.
0:11 Yeah.
0:11 It's like if you if we had some
0:14 two-dimensional creatures that were living on this piece
0:17 of paper right here on the table and one of those creatures figured out
0:21 that he can smoke some DMT
0:24 and that somehow enabled us to peel this two-dimensional
0:27 creature to where it could see in three
0:29 dimensions and see everything in this room.
0:32 That's a DMT.
0:34 You're getting peeled out of reality into some other realm.
0:38 And the the weird thing is every scientist that I know that's studying DMT,
0:43 not one of them thinks it's a hallucination.
0:46 What do they think it is?
0:47 I think the the more someone the more familiar someone is with DMT,
0:51 the less certain they are about what the hell's going on.
0:55 But everyone everyone literally everyone who uses DMT pretty much goes
0:59 to the same exact places and they all meet the same entities,
1:03 the same seven or eight different types of entities.
1:05 And it's been the same for 4,500 years of of recorded history with DMT.
1:10 And DMT is something we make in our own body.
1:13 It's it's an indogenous chemical.
1:15 Has it changed your perception of what reality really is?
1:18 100%.
1:19 Yeah.
1:20 It's so much more real than this reality.
1:24 It's like it's it's so ineffable.
1:29 There are no words that that can describe it,
1:31 but it's a thousand maybe a million times more real than this in such a way
1:37 that just coming back to this feels like
1:41 everything is kind of claymation for a little while.
1:45 Claimation
1:44 or just fake like a cartoon uh of some kind.
1:47 It's just really low resolution and it I
1:51 I come back with no certainty about anything.
1:54 And I think everybody comes back with that lack of certainty.
1:57 You're not coming back and be like, I saw this exact thing and here's what
2:00 it means and here's how the universe is created
2:02 and and all of that, but you go up there and you come back and you're like,
2:06 something about this plane doesn't feel real anymore.
2:10 And that is a permanent shift that's hard for some people to make.
2:13 And you can't unsee that you were kind of able to poke your head out of the out
2:19 of the side door of the Truman Show
2:21 and and look out backstage for a little while.
2:25 So, has it made you believe that this isn't real?
2:28 This reality that we're living in now is not real.
2:32 We'd have to define real.
2:34 The only How would you define real?
2:39 Yeah, that's a good question.
2:40 So, that's why I paused.
2:41 You can touch it, you can measure it, you can taste it, smell it.
2:44 Would that be real?
2:45 Do you think we're living in a simulation?
2:48 that we have to define simulation because I think every
2:51 society has this hubris of the universe is whatever is cool
2:56 to us right now electricity came out the universe was energy
2:59 industrial revolution came out the whole universe was a giant machine
3:03 and right now everybody says oh that we in we
3:06 just discovered computers the universe must be a computer it's like
3:10 the the hubris of of every generation what I mean by simulation
3:14 I I think like is it rendered in some way by something.
3:19 Uh I I study this stuff all day, every day of my life.
3:25 And I think that the more we the more
3:28 discoveries we have in particle physics and quantum mechanics,
3:32 the more they're proving the hermetic principles, right?
3:35 What's that?
3:36 These are the seven ancient principles of this guy named Hermes Tismagist,
3:41 also known as Thoth, like an an Egyptian guy.
3:44 They're confused about his name, but he's like uh he wrote these like
3:50 these first two principles are the most important.
3:52 The first one is all is mind.
3:54 All is mind.
3:55 All is mind.
3:56 The all is mind.
3:57 The universe is mental.
3:59 And then the second one is as above so below.
4:02 And here's how I explained this to my son a couple days ago.
4:06 I said, "Have you ever had a dream where there's like a building in the dream?
4:10 Maybe there's a house in front of you.
4:13 And what are you looking at the house with?
4:14 And he said, "Well, my eyes." I said, "Why?
4:19 Which eyes are they?
4:20 Are they your eyes that you're seeing the house with?" And he said, "No,
4:23 cuz you're imagining your own set of eyes to see the house with in your dream.
4:27 Your eyes don't aren't there.
4:29 Your body isn't there.
4:30 So, you're imagining the whole body and the world." And I said,
4:34 "What's the distance between you and that house in your dream?" They said,
4:37 "30 feet." I said, 'What is the air made
4:40 out of between you and the house?' And he said,
4:43 'Arorair?' And I said, 'You have air in your dreams?
4:45 Is it real air?' He said, 'N no, it's just it's my brain.
4:49 I said, so is there distance between you and the house?
4:51 He said, no.
4:52 What's the house made out of?
4:54 Me.
4:54 What's the air made out of?
4:55 Me.
4:57 The entire thing is me.
4:58 The ground I'm standing on, the house, the the clouds in the sky.
5:02 So in a dream, you can verifiably prove that something is real.
5:07 You can test it, you can touch it and all
5:10 of that and the perception of it is is very much real.
5:14 So the theory now and I don't I don't have
5:17 any certainty about this but one interesting theory that I've heard
5:20 from many different neuroscientists is like if we look at as above
5:25 so below like a universe spins like a DNA double helix.
5:29 You can zoom in on a human eyeball and it looks the same as a nebula.
5:34 What if dreams are this level, level one,
5:37 and this is like level two of that where we're hallucinating distance?
5:42 We're hallucinating.
5:44 And I think whatever the case is, I have no idea.
5:48 I have no theories about it myself.
5:50 But whatever the case is,
5:51 I do think that separation is the greatest lie ever told to the entire
5:56 world of like the you are separate from that person like this.
6:00 you are separate from this and how people say I need
6:03 to go spend time in nature like you are nature like that's
6:07 that's part of who you are you're made out of that stuff
6:10 you're made out of that dirt so I think the illusion
6:14 of separation is is the one thing that I think will
6:17 help a lot of people and that's why psychedelics can really just
6:22 rewire somebody's brain so so fast it just deletes that separation
6:28 feel like I just did had some DMT P cuz you said,
6:32 you know, level one is dreams, level two is maybe this reality.
6:35 So the question in my mind was, what's level three?
6:39 Yeah.
6:39 Then that would maybe be what you see on DMT.
6:43 You said that world was more real than this one.
6:46 Oh yeah.
6:47 Exponentially, immeasurably.
6:50 Why?
6:50 How do you quantify realness?
6:52 Like what's this the measuring stick there?
6:55 It it there there are no words for it.
7:01 Has this changed your view on religion?
7:05 Yeah.
7:05 How has it changed your view?
7:06 I wasn't really a religious person.
7:08 I think it made me a much more spiritual person.
7:11 And I think before any psychedelic therapy that I went through,
7:15 I was I was performing spirituality.
7:19 So spirituality was kind of something I I did to show people.
7:22 Yeah.
7:23 Virtue.
7:23 virtue to signal virtue of
7:27 and now spirituality you kind of see it like it's not a big deal.
7:30 It doesn't you don't have to go buy linen yoga pants
7:34 and and wooden beads and bathe in essential oils to be spiritual.
7:38 Like you can just maybe have a hand up there and be less certain.
7:43 I think the certainty is the is the enemy.
7:46 Like we haven't been here very long.
7:47 We're very very newborn creatures on this planet.
7:51 Has it made you more empathetic?
7:52 Unbelievably so.
7:54 Yeah.
7:56 At the end of the day,
7:57 it everybody wants to like after your first
8:02 or second time going to psychedelic therapy, you're like, "Oh,
8:04 I need to understand the secrets of the universe now." Which you
8:08 go in there with this like very egoic uh egocentric uh desires.
8:14 And then they're like, "Okay, you want to understand the universe?
8:16 They'll show it all to you." And your brain's not capable of understanding it,
8:20 remembering it or translating it.
8:22 once you once you come back anyway.
8:25 And I think o over time you learn that the more ego I have,
8:29 it's like I'm performing and then every time I go back
8:32 in there or every time like I kind of reflect on that experience,
8:36 it helps me to unzip this my little ego costume uh a little bit more.
8:43 Did you know that you can get banned from DMT?
8:46 Really, dude?
8:47 You got to look this up.
8:49 There are thousands of people out there who were using DMT recreationally
8:54 and the beings up there basically told him you are done and you're you're banned
9:00 from from DMT and the journey stops right there in that moment and the guy
9:04 can take hit after hit after hit after hit of DMT and nothing happens.
9:10 You can be banned from that realm or whatever it is.
9:13 I think they call it hyperspace.
9:15 Now
9:16 in the culture culture surrounding DMT,
9:18 there is a widely reported anecdote
9:20 phenomenon called being locked out of hyperspace.
9:24 Many frequent users report reaching a point where the drug
9:27 simply stops working as expected regardless of the dose.
9:31 The common descriptions include the waiting room wall,
9:33 getting stuck in the initial onset phase and being unable to break through.
9:37 The gray room, seeing only flat, colorless,
9:40 or dull visuals instead of the visual vibrant geometry.
9:43 The hypers slap.
9:44 A terrifying or deeply uncomfortable experience where entities appear to tell
9:48 you that you aren't welcome or shouldn't be here anymore.
9:53 The sudden blackout,
9:55 smoking the substance and simply falling asleep or remembering nothing,
9:59 effectively being denied entry.
10:02 H I think there's there are thousands of people.
10:06 one of the um very very random but persuasive
10:10 thought experiments I sometimes um use to explain why
10:14 I've started to believe that there's probably something more
10:18 is weirdly how much I've learned about the gut microbiome.
10:22 And it sounds like a strange thing and like
10:24 not a connection one would expect to make.
10:26 But when I sat here with these experts and they're like, "Oh, by the way,
10:28 there's 38 trillion living organisms in your gut right now." I you know,
10:36 you're saying like what is below is above or whatever that phrase was.
10:39 I was like, okay, so those 38 million creatures,
10:42 I know that you could argue that maybe
10:43 they're not conscious or whatever you want to say.
10:45 Yeah.
10:45 But they have no idea.
10:48 Like if they work, they have no
10:49 idea that they're living inside another organism down.
10:52 If they could debate, they would be debating religion.
10:55 They'd be saying, "Do you think we have a creator?"
10:57 And they'd look around and they wouldn't see him.
10:59 But because they don't realize that they're inside,
11:03 I guess their god, like their creator,
11:06 the thing that's feeding them every day and keeping them alive and that kind
11:10 of, you could argue created them because
11:12 I created the environment for them to reproduce.
11:15 And when I thought about that, I thought about the oceans.
11:17 I was like, the, you know, the animals at the very bottom of the deepest
11:19 ocean have no idea that there's anything above.
11:21 They have no idea.
11:23 And then I and then you got to ask yourself,
11:24 am I like arrogant enough to believe or naive
11:26 enough to believe that like this is it?
11:29 that I am at the top of the mountain and there's nothing.
11:31 It's so egotistical to think like there isn't there could be nothing above me.
11:35 And then the other thing that's been really persuasive for me in my journey
11:38 of like spirituality or religion or whatever you want to call it is I did
11:42 a bunch of star tours and generally
11:44 getting interested in the stars and sitting there
11:46 with a a star expert and him saying to me at nighttime in Joshua Tree,
11:50 "Look over there." and he'd like get this big binocular out,
11:52 this 1 m binocular, and he say,
11:54 "What you're seeing there is," he'd say something crazy like,
11:57 "28 million light years away,
11:59 and I'm looking at a whole another galaxy, and it's just this speck,
12:02 and it's 28 million light years away." I was scratching my head going like,
12:08 "What the that is inconceivably far away,
12:11 and it's just this dot." And he goes, "Yeah, there's like trillions of those."
12:15 And I'm thinking, oh, like the gut microbiome,
12:17 there's like 38 trillion of those.
12:20 Yeah.
12:20 And they're just specks with life on them
12:23 that we understand at some granular level,
12:26 but maybe not the deepest granular level.
12:28 So maybe I'm just another gut in the bug of some toddler in some other space.
12:33 And I just don't know the answer.
12:34 What do you do with that information?
12:35 No idea.
12:37 But the new theory is that this consciousness is external to our body.
12:42 What does that mean?
12:43 like our brains act as a receiver and a filter
12:47 for consciousness and not a creator of consciousness.
12:51 So that hypothetically maybe DMT is something that just pops
12:55 that filter off and allows us to experience full consciousness.
13:01 And then if the all is mind, so if everything in my dream is made up of me
13:06 and we just copy paste that up to this level,
13:08 we're all maybe part of one mind and there aren't any people.
13:15 It's just a mind.
13:17 So like the distance between us doesn't exist.
13:19 It's just just like a dream except we're sharing a dream up here.
13:24 And that's one of the I think that's
13:26 a part of that that new consciousness theory.
13:28 I don't subscribe to any of them.
13:30 Any one of them in particular.
13:32 You haven't got to believe any of this stuff.
13:35 Um because it's hard to you're never going to know for sure.
13:40 But even hearing it makes me feel a lot more empathetic for my fellow being.
13:46 Yeah.
13:45 Cuz it makes me you.
13:47 It makes it makes your enemy you.
13:49 It makes your friend you.
13:50 Makes the person you love hate whatever.
13:52 It makes all of them you.
13:54 And none of us would.
13:55 I think I think we treat ourselves much better sometimes than we would treat
13:59 someone a thousand miles away in a different
14:01 country with a different color skin.
14:04 Yeah.
14:03 Um so that's what I love about this conversation and actually every
14:06 time I bring myself back to this point about consciousness being one,
14:09 it does make me more empathetic to things.
14:13 It does.
14:13 And it's not because you're a moral person.
14:16 Like you don't have to have morals anymore.
14:18 So if I see you as me, I'm just protecting myself.
14:23 Yeah.
14:23 Like it's just a natural in the same way I would with my children.
14:27 Yeah.
14:27 Or Yeah.
14:28 Yeah.
14:29 And I mean the the morality doesn't need to exist anymore.
14:31 It's just the right thing.
14:35 Chase, what is the most important idea we didn't talk about that we should have
14:39 talked about specifically as it relates to the most
14:42 important skills people are going to need?
14:44 whether it's body language or people skills
14:46 or sales skills in the world we're heading
14:48 towards where they're positing that robots are
14:50 going to take away lots of the manual
14:52 labor jobs and artificial intelligence is going to take away a lot of the like
14:55 cognitive work and we might be rendered left with each other in the real world.
15:03 Yeah.
15:01 Number one is making people feel heard and seen and resonating
15:10 with them when they're heard and not judging them when they're seen.
15:15 That's the number one because AI, you can mark my words,
15:19 AI will never in a million years serve as a replacement for humans
15:26 on the social level of Maslo's hierarchy
15:29 of needs where we have survival, safety, belonging.
15:32 That that third row of Maslo's pyramid cannot
15:36 be fulfilled through electronic means as of yet anyway.
15:39 And maybe the they're going to start making sex robots
15:43 and all that kind of stuff when these these things come out.
15:46 But we cannot fulfill that desire.
15:49 We cannot fulfill that need.
15:51 So what's above that?
15:54 Then we have esteem, our self-esteem and our our self-actualization.
16:00 We can never move past level three because we're getting a placebo of connection
16:05 from Twitter and Tik Tok and all these apps and uh these pseudosocial apps.
16:12 YouTube, we have these parasocial relationships on YouTube
16:15 and it's it cannot fulfill that level.
16:19 Our brains were not wired to receive digital connection.
16:24 We have our brains have not developed
16:25 one more wrinkle in the last 200,000 years.
16:29 Exactly.
16:29 the same brain.
16:32 Mhm.
16:31 So, we're not going to outscience uh the lower part of the brain.
16:35 And you can't like meditate your way out
16:38 of having good relationships and being around 3D people.
16:41 You you need it in your life.
16:43 And I genuinely think AI is never going to replace it.
16:47 I would agree.
16:48 I would agree.
16:51 I think one of the things that's been really persuasive in this regard is
16:54 I remember in psychology lessons when I was like maybe 16 years old, Mrs.
16:58 Lowi.
17:00 I've always missed Miss Lowry.
17:02 Miss Lowry, if you're listening, please get in touch.
17:03 My I shouldn't say my email.
17:05 Um, but just get in touch through Gareth.
17:08 He knows know me, but I just wanted to say
17:09 that because she she was a great teacher for me in psychology.
17:12 I really only like two lessons in school, business and psychology.
17:14 So, Mr.
17:14 Hughes and Mrs.
17:15 Lounley Lown's lessons.
17:17 The others I found a bit tricky,
17:19 but I thought those two teachers saw something in me.
17:21 Miss Lowry was talking about the recess
17:23 monkeys experiment where they got these like
17:26 recess monkeys to um either they gave them a fake mother but that had
17:32 cloth on it or they gave them a wire mother so a mother
17:36 made out of wires and they looked at their psychological outcomes over time.
17:40 I'm probably butchering this, so please community note me,
17:42 Dio team, so that the facts are on the screen.
17:45 And what they found is if you want the monkeys that grew
17:48 to be most psychologically stable and happy
17:51 and weren't psychopaths were the ones
17:53 that had a cloth mother and the the monkeys that became erratic and clearly
17:57 had deep psychological problems were the ones that just had a wire mother.
18:00 So that's always reminded me that even in a world of robots,
18:03 AI, whatever, there's still something irreplaceably
18:06 human about physical human connection and touch.
18:09 Yeah.
18:09 which I actually think is going to become is going to absolutely surge
18:12 in a world where we do have robots and intelligence and retentive algorithms.
18:15 I think there's going to be this bifocation of society
18:17 where many people flee back to the real world.
18:21 Yeah.
18:21 And the two biggest things that we have as a result of all this is
18:25 loneliness and division and the division is
18:28 manufactured and the loneliness is a byproduct.
18:32 Is there anything else you wanted to share?
18:35 Yeah, maybe some good news.
18:36 That was some shitty.
18:37 I'd be shitty to stop on that note.
18:39 Give me some good news.
18:41 I think one of the the number one thing that people need to know is
18:45 that if you wrote down the biggest insecurities
18:48 that you've ever had in your entire life,
18:50 every crazy crazy thing about how you thought it was a big deal,
18:55 you have to forget forgive yourself for that you did when you were 12.
19:00 You have to uh stop doing this.
19:02 You have to you have to stop hiding yourself from other people.
19:04 If you just wrote down every one of your insecurities
19:07 with a hundred people and then had someone type all of them out,
19:12 all hundred people, you wouldn't be able to find your own.
19:22 You you'd be very confused.
19:25 You'd think that someone just paraphrased you a hundred times
19:28 if you're digging through that hat trying to find your insecurities.
19:32 And it would shock you.
19:33 Uh, and it's one thing to hear it maybe on a podcast,
19:36 but to see it in real life.
19:38 If you see the depth of other people, we are so much the same.
19:44 And all the that we hide because we don't want anybody else to see it.
19:49 Everyone else is hiding the exact same stuff.
19:52 Everybody else is feeling the exact same way.
19:55 The number one thing that people regret on their deathbed is like,
19:58 I should have treated it more like a game.
20:00 I should have figured out what was important
20:02 in the game and done what was actually important.
20:05 Uh, and that's it.
20:09 That means a lot to you, doesn't it?
20:11 That particular point,
20:12 it's almost like you've changed since the last time we spoke in a way.
20:17 Yeah.
20:16 I think there's been a bit of an evolution.
20:20 Yeah.
20:20 And I think that level of empathy is super
20:23 important to life and it helps slow things down.
20:26 And no matter what you're going through,
20:28 put put make a poster and put this up on your wall.
20:32 It's supposed to be fun.
20:35 It's supposed to be a game.
20:38 And I think Allan Watts had a quote that said,
20:40 "Most of man's memory comes from taking very seriously what God made
20:45 for fun." If you love the D CEO brand and you watch this channel,
