Today, we're taking you on a transformative journey through the captivating realm of psychedelics with Martin W. Ball. With his eclectic mix of experience as a PhD, writer, independent publisher, non-dual guide, consultant, visionary artist, and musician, Martin provides the perfect compass for navigating this complex territory. 

In this episode we discuss the formation of spiritual egos after psychedelic use. We also explore the effect of different psychedelics on the psyche and body. 

Brace yourself as Martin recounts his personal encounters with entheogens such as alcohol, cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms and salvia divinorum. We'll also guide you through the unique properties and profound impact of 5-meo DMT, known for invoking an ego death experience, and its potential for unveiling an expansive level of energy and awareness. 

We explore the challenges of assimilating these profound experiences, the art of being yourself, and the deceptive influence of ego on our perceptions.

Our conversation is not just limited to the realm of psychedelics. We dive into topics of self-transformation, the often underappreciated role of storytelling in shaping our identities, and the therapeutic benefits of physical expression in processing emotions. 

We highlight the value of authenticity and truth in psychedelic practice, while simultaneously highlighting the potential of physical catharsis as a means to process emotions and trauma. 

Don't miss out on this enlightening ride with Martin Ball which is sure to challenge your perceptions and expand your horizons.
