Science of Psilocybin - How it Works & Why it Exists

Always so cool to be Working with the Afterskool team! Hoping you all will have as much fun watching this video as we had making it!

Psilocybin changed my life. It showed me all the boxes I had put myself in or had been put in by others/society. I felt what it was like to be free from all the worries, anxieties, disappointment, I feel from not meeting expectations. I put this teaching into action and for the last 3 years have been breaking out of these boxes. It’s been challenging, but with my journey as my compass, I have been able to gain a greater sense of inner and outer freedom

This video was SO fun to make. I hope you have as much fun watching it and learning. It's always a joy to collaborate with Jasper from Fungi Academy. Their courses are awesome. I think education works best when it is fun and entertaining. Enjoy!

Have you noticed more people (exponentially) are experiencing what seems like a collective awakening? It's no coincidence that psilocyben is also being more widely and thoroughly re-distributed throughout the population.

A fungus made me believe in God. Thanks to them I'm a more happy and connected guy within this universe. Hope you find peace within you and among you love.

Jasper is so brilliant and caring. I'm glad he mentioned Terence McKenna several times. Terence has mentioned all of this fungi evolutionary leap hypothesis, leadership, and healing wisdom a bazillion times . Peace y'all...

Very well spoken! ❤️Great that you insert science backed evidence (for the non believers & ignorant people). I wish the world leaders would indeed take these… the world would look a lot better. 🙏🏻

Psilocybin changed my life. I suffer from 'idiopathic' PTSD ( or cptsd by modern standards). It means that my stress has no source or cause. My whole life I suffered without understanding why. 5 grams of Golden Teacher, prepared with extremely deliberate care and humility, in a dark room while laying in bed with music. Finally remembered why I was so broken. Almost 10 years of my childhood memories, repressed. I had been in therapy for over 20 years as an adult and this was the first time I finally felt like I knew what was happening to me. It didn't cure me, but it revealed the path and a true source of hope.

I've used magic mushrooms twice in my life, and the boost on my brain activity is an experience I wish it was my normal state.

Im a veteran of a thousand psychic wars, the web we all live in is as complicated as nature itself. The shroom for me is a nice coffee break from it all. It is nice to be touched by the cosmos.

It started out as a "hey let's have some fun", to "why am I not so sad and anxious", to "I don't need or want your psyche meds anymore", to "week 3, time to microdose". Praise mother earth for providing us this magic sustenance.

I have never used mushrooms, but the commentator said it had a similar affect as meditation. I discovered mantra meditation close to the age of 30. I would write out my negative thinking and come up with a positive mantra that contradicted the negative thinking. For 45 minutes, 5 days a week, for 18 months, I would recite a positive mantra in my mind and anytime my mind wandered I would bring my focus back to reciting the positive mantra in my mind. I changed my mantra every week. Mantra meditation, which I learned from the book Meditation for Dummies caused my thoughts to become more hopeful. It also brought me so much happiness. The book Meditation for Dummies also taught to not suppress feelings of pride, fear, anger, jealousy etc. The book teaches to feel feelings until they go away without acting on feelings for the most part. I discovered hell on earth is a mind that has not meditated and a mind that suppresses feelings. I am so much happier and never knew I could be so happy until I regularly practiced mantra meditation and felt my feelings until they went away.

I'm really glad you chose to make this. I try to explain these things to people, and it's not always easy. But this makes it much easier.

Greetings from Scotland! I'm saying NOTHING! The linguistic angle is intriguing, but I think the language centre is only one area of the brain which it had profound effects on. It's also good for grasping huge concepts, such as art, clothing and society itself. Anyone who's experienced psychedelic mushrooms can certainly appreciate where tartan or a syncapated beat came from!

I’ve had many experiences with mushrooms, LSD & Ayahuasca. It has had a profound influence in my life! Most grateful for these fungi 🙏🏼

So utterly tragic what happened to Maria 😢 my heart hurts for her, how terribly unfair. Wherever you are Maria, thank you for your gift to the Western world and hope you're having a blast in the hereafter ❤❤

Psilocybin allowed me to connect with the universe and see how all is connected within the world. It allowed me to see everything in layers and connect to the aether. Achieving a healing ability that removes all that doesn't belong within the body by clearing the energy lines allowing an aura to come out of the hands. Ability to heal myself, others and animals as well

So very happy to see this! I'll be sharing this on all my social media platforms. ❤

Back in the 60s and 70s I used psilocybin many times. In the beginning, just to get high. after about 4 or 5 experiences I saw the light of the mental and spiritual positives. The first time I ate 2 grams, after that I concentrated on what was the does I needed to feel complete on my trip (journey). Sure wish I could get some to help with my grumpy old man attitude, and for my sanity in these times of chaos (I'm 70).

Psychedelics have provided me access to a sense of peace and overall happiness for almost a decade now that I did not think possible 20 years ago. There is actually a "practice" that can be established in ones life that engages with deep wisdom and insight that lacks the language and words that these plants give us.
