Episode 38 – Steve Pavlina is a cosmic explorer, author, international speaker, and coach dedicated to helping people create extraordinary lives. His personal development website has attracted more than 100 million visitors, and he has written more than 1800 articles on a broad range of self-development topics.
In this expansive and introspective episode, I sit down with Steve to explore the depths of reality, consciousness, and the mind-bending experiences that come from psychedelics like Ayahuasca and psilocybin. We dive into the nature of subjective reality, discuss the power of releasing resistance, and share personal stories that challenge the boundaries of what is possible in both individual and collective growth.
In this episode, Steve offers profound insights on releasing resistance, living shamelessly, and intentionally co-creating reality with others. Together, we uncover how we can move beyond limitations and embrace the infinite potential of the simulator we live in, ultimately posing the question: can we unlock "God Mode" in this cosmic game we call life?
