    Brandon Singletary

    Welcome to the show, where ideas don’t just exist—they evolve, collide, and explode into new realities.

    Today, I’m joined by an artist, a philosopher, and a world-builder in the truest sense—Brandon Singletary. He doesn’t just create art; he architects entire realities, forging bridges between the cosmos and human cognition. From mesmerizing short films to intricate philosophical art books, from vast series of illustrations to a living, breathing map of worldviews, aesthetics, and ways of creation, Brandon is constructing a new visual and conceptual language.

    His work isn’t just seen—it’s experienced. It’s a doorway into the infinite, an invitation to reimagine what’s possible when imagination meets structure, when art meets philosophy, when vision meets execution.

    Strap in—this is going to be a journey.

    Brandon, welcome to the show.

    Alexandra Artzoglou: The Art of Becoming


    🎙️🎙️🎙️ Some people seek answers. Alexandra Artzoglou seeks the right questions—the ones that crack open perception, dissolve old narratives, and invite true transformation.


    Armed with a background in psychology, Alexandra quickly realized that understanding the mind wasn’t enough; the real magic lay in the lived experience—the felt sense of becoming. Since 2017, she’s been deep in the work of integration, not just of ideas, but of self—blending psychology, embodiment practices, and the cutting edge of psychedelic exploration to bridge the gap between knowledge and knowing.


    Her philosophy? Self-actualization isn’t a peak to be reached; it’s a fluid, ever-unfolding process of stepping into deeper alignment. For those who feel the pull—who know there’s more but haven’t quite found the map—Alexandra offers a rare kind of guidance. One that doesn’t just prepare you for transformation but helps you live it.


    Through personalized coaching, integration support, and microdosing guidance, she helps others navigate the delicate dance between surrender and intention, between insight and embodiment. Because the real journey isn’t about finding something outside of yourself—it’s about remembering, reclaiming, and becoming what was always there.


    So, if you’re ready to stop searching and start integrating, welcome to the conversation. Welcome to The Alex Experience.

    Aloha and welcome to another electrifying episode of TrueLife! Today, we’re diving deep into the realms of creativity, Carl Jung, psychedelics, and mysticism with two incredible guests who are reshaping the way we think about transformation—both personal and collective.


    First, we have Jessica Tracy, a pioneer at the crossroads of mental health advocacy, psychedelic integration, and healthcare innovation. As the Founder and CEO of The Sage Collective, she’s bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern medicine, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in psychedelic-assisted therapy. With nearly two decades of experience spanning group insurance, clinical genetics, and health tech, Jessica is reimagining how we approach healing—one policy, one retreat, and one visionary idea at a time.


    Joining her is Dr. David A. Salomon, a scholar and educator whose work illuminates the history of ideas, from medieval literature to modern philosophy. A former department chair and director of study abroad at The Sage Colleges, and now the founding director of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity at Christopher Newport University, Dr. Salomon has spent decades guiding students through the labyrinth of knowledge. His books, including The Seven Deadly Sins and An Introduction to the Glossa Ordinaria as Medieval Hypertext, unravel the intersections of literature, religion, and cultural evolution.


    Together, these two minds bring a fusion of intellect and intuition, structure and spontaneity, history and the cutting edge. So buckle up—we’re about to explore the unconscious, challenge the status quo, and unlock the mysteries of the mind.


    Welcome to the show, Jessica Tracy and Dr. David A. Salomon!

The black market thrived, crime surged, and then the government reversed course. Do you see cannabis following the same trajectory, or are we in for a plot twist? 2. “If cannabis is the ‘new alcohol,’ where are we in the timeline?” – Are we in the speakeasy era, the 21st Amendment moment, or still waiting for the federal version of Al Capone to get busted? 3. “During Prohibition, people needed bootleggers. Now, they need financial analysts?” – How does the transition from backroom deals to boardrooms change the investment landscape for cannabis? 4. “If we put cannabis prohibition on trial, what would the closing argument be?” – Imagine you’re defending cannabis against federal restrictions in a high-stakes courtroom drama. What’s your case?The Future & Epic Potential 5. “What’s the Tesla of weed?” – Is there a cannabis company today that’s poised to do what Tesla did for EVs—disrupt, innovate, and redefine the space? 6. “If cannabis had a stock ticker in 1933, what would it look like today?” – Alcohol stocks exploded post-Prohibition. Should investors look at cannabis the same way, or is there a cautionary tale here? 7. “Cannabis in 2040: Will it be in vending machines, prescribed by AI doctors, or will it still be a ‘gray market’ in some states?” 8. “Will there be cannabis sommeliers?” – Wine has them, whiskey has them—do you foresee a future where cannabis connoisseurs have Michelin-star levels of prestige? 9. “Will cannabis replace coffee?” – With microdosing and functional cannabis, are we heading toward a culture where people start their day with a sativa shot instead of espresso?Federal Illegality & The Investment Landscape 10. “Wall Street vs. Washington: Who legalizes cannabis first?” – Will financial institutions force legalization before the government catches up? 11. “What’s the real reason cannabis is still federally illegal?” – Follow the money: is it Big Pharma, private prisons, or just political inertia? 12. “If cannabis became federally legal tomorrow, what happens to the market?” – Does it explode overnight, or do we see unexpected turbulence? 13. “How do you manage risk when the rules can change overnight?” – Investing in cannabis is like betting on a game where the referee can change the rules mid-play. How do you navigate that uncertainty? 14. “Does Big Cannabis become the next Big Tobacco?” – As cannabis scales, will we see corporate monopolization, or will craft cannabis hold its ground?Humorous & Wild Card Questions 15. “If cannabis stocks had a personality, what kind of person would they be?” – Are they the chill surfer, the Wall Street wolf, or the eccentric genius? 16. “What’s your elevator pitch to a 1920s bootlegger about switching to cannabis?” – “Forget gin, my friend. I’ve got something with better margins and less bathtub risk.” 17. “If Snoop Dogg and Warren Buffett started a cannabis hedge fund, what’s the first stock they buy?” 18. “What’s the biggest financial myth about cannabis?” – What’s the ...

    2025/02/01
    Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USBuy Grow kit: https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/🎙️🎙️🎙️Abigail Calder "Welcome everyone to another insightful episode of TrueLife. Today, we have the honor of hosting Abigail Calder, a brilliant young mind at the forefront of psychedelic research. Abigail is not just a PhD candidate at the University of Fribourg, but a beacon of light in understanding the intricate dance between psychedelics and the human brain. With her work on neuroplasticity, particularly how LSD can reshape our neural pathways, Abigail is pioneering a new wave of science that connects the dots between consciousness, well-being, and the mystical experiences psychedelics can offer.But beyond her academic accolades, what truly sets Abigail apart is her passion for demystifying these complex subjects for everyone. Through her roles with the ALPS and MIND Foundations, she's been a bridge between the science lab and our living rooms, making psychedelic science accessible, understandable, and deeply human. Her dedication to exploring not just the highs but also the potential pitfalls of these substances shows a commitment to integrity and safety in science. So, without further ado, let's dive into a conversation that promises to enlighten, inspire, and perhaps even transform our understanding of ourselves. Please welcome, Abigail Calder."1. Neuroplasticity and Consciousness: - How does the HRS, when applied to psychedelic therapy, interact with recent findings on neuroplasticity? Could it serve as a tool to measure the potential of psychedelics to not only treat but fundamentally alter the neural substrates of consciousness?"We're considering adding neuroplasticity metrics to the HRS to correlate with changes in consciousness."2. Quantifying the Ineffable: - With recent studies suggesting psychedelics can enhance creativity and problem-solving, how can the HRS be adapted to quantify the ineffable aspects of these experiences, particularly in relation to the expansion of cognitive and linguistic capabilities?"We could introduce creativity-focused subscales or collaborate with psychologists to assess linguistic shifts.We could weave in poetry analysis or perhaps use the HRS to chart the colors of thought, capturing creativity's dance through words."3. Therapeutic Revolution and Ethical Boundaries: - Given the latest research on psychedelics for treating conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD (e.g., studies from Johns Hopkins, Imperial College London), how does the HRS help navigate the ethical landscape of potentially "standardizing" or misinterpreting the deeply personal nature of these therapeutic experiences? - "The HRS should balance standardization with the narrative integrity of each individual's experience4. Cultural Context and Universal Experience: - In light of research exploring the cultural variability of psychedelic effects (e.g., work by Brian Earp and colleagues), can the HRS be redesigned to reflect or respect the cultural nuances in psychedelic experiences, or does it inherently impose a universalist scientific framework?-We'd need to develop culturally sensitive extensions to the HRS while maintaining its core utility."5. Altered States and Illness: - Recent breakthroughs in using psychedelics for terminal illness care (like the work of palliative care with psilocybin) suggest profound changes in attitudes towards death. How can the HRS contribute to understanding these shifts, and what does this mean for our conceptualization of illness and healing?We're looking at revising questions to capture shifts in existential attitudes related to illness."6. Linguistic Evolution through Psychedelics: - With work like that of Robin Carhart-Harris on the "entropic brain," could the HRS be used to explore how psychedelics might lead to new linguistic forms or concepts, essentially creating a new "language" of consciousness?Imagine the HRS as a linguistic archaeologist, unearthing new dialects of consciousness shaped by the psychedelic experience, "The HRS might track novel expressions or concepts, potentially with linguists' input7. Reality, Perception, and Quantum Consciousness: - Recent discussions at the intersection of quantum mechanics and consciousness (e.g., Anirban Bandyopadhyay's work on microtubules) raise questions about reality. How might the HRS be expanded or reinterpreted to study if psychedelics offer a glimpse into quantum aspects of consciousness?8. Integration of Altered States into Daily Life: - Given research on microdosing (e.g., studies by James Fadiman), how might the HRS be used to study the integration of minor psychedelic experiences into everyday life, potentially altering our understanding of normalcy, productivity, and creativity?9. Predictive Processing and Psychedelics: - With models like predictive processing gaining traction in neuroscience (Karl Friston's work), how ...

    Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USBuy Grow kit: https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/🎙️🎙️🎙️Tom SaborowskiAloha, my friends!Today, we embark on a transformative journey into the vibrant intersection of consciousness research, ethics, and the rich, living history of the international psychedelic movement. Our guide is none other than Tom Saborowski—a passionate seeker of mind-expanding knowledge, a serious scholar of psychedelic studies, and someone who knows how to keep the journey groovy with just the right dose of humor.Tom’s work transcends the boundaries of the psychedelic experience itself, diving deeply into the ethical and historical dimensions that shape this fascinating field. He invites us to explore the untold chapters of the psychedelic movement—uncovering insights that challenge our perspectives, expand our awareness, and remind us that the pursuit of knowledge is as much an adventure as it is an awakening.So, open your minds, settle into the moment, and prepare for an enlightening conversation that promises to leave you inspired and maybe just a little more curious about the mysteries of consciousness. Let’s dive in!Consciousness and Psychedelic Research 1. What first sparked your interest in consciousness research, and how did psychedelics become a central part of that journey? 2. How do you define consciousness, and how has your understanding evolved through your studies? 3. What are the biggest misconceptions people have about psychedelics and their role in consciousness research?Ethics in Psychedelic Studies 4. How do you approach the ethical complexities of psychedelic research, especially in a world where regulations and cultural norms vary so widely? 5. What role does consent and intent play in the ethical use of psychedelics, both in research and personal exploration? 6. Are there any ethical red flags in the current psychedelic renaissance that concern you?Living History of the Psychedelic Movement 7. What lessons can we learn from the pioneers of the psychedelic movement, and how can we avoid the mistakes of the past? 8. How has the global perception of psychedelics shifted over the decades, and what factors do you think drove those changes? 9. Can you share a lesser-known story or figure from the psychedelic movement that has had a profound impact on your perspective?Personal Reflections and Insights 10. How has your own exploration of altered states changed the way you view reality, relationships, or even humanity as a whole? 11. Humor seems to be a part of your approach—why is it important to keep the journey “groovy” even when discussing serious topics? 12. What’s been the most surprising or enlightening discovery you’ve made in your research?The Future of Psychedelics and Consciousness 13. Where do you see the intersection of psychedelics and consciousness research heading in the next 10-20 years? 14. How can psychedelics contribute to solving global challenges, such as mental health crises or societal polarization? 15. If the psychedelic movement had a “manifesto” for humanity’s future, what would you want it to include?Practical and Philosophical Questions16. What advice would you give to someone who’s curious about exploring psychedelics for the first time, especially in a conscious and ethical way? 17. How do you balance scientific inquiry with the deeply subjective and spiritual nature of the psychedelic experience? 18. What role do you think storytelling plays in shaping public understanding of psychedelics and consciousness?Legacy and Impact 19. If you could leave one lasting message or lesson for the next generation of consciousness researchers, what would it be? 20. How do you envision your work contributing to the broader psychedelic movement, and what impact do you hope it will have on the world?1. Could modern therapeutic frameworks unintentionally dilute the ancient wisdom of psychedelics, and if so, how might this loss shape their future impact? 2. If psychedelics primarily dissolve the ego, could there be unintended consequences for personal identity or leadership development? 3. How might the rise of commercialized psychedelic therapy undermine its potential to foster authentic healing? 4. Instead of focusing on psychedelics to “heal,” could they be better used to redefine what “mental health” means entirely?Jungian Psychology and the Shadow 5. If the shadow represents what is repressed, could the overemphasis on shadow work create new blind spots in individual and collective psyches? 6. Are there dangers in using psychedelics to confront the shadow without first building a strong ego foundation? 7. Could societal systems (like healthcare) actually benefit from repressing their collective shadow to maintain stability? 8. How might the intersection of shadow work and technology (e.g., AI) reshape our understanding of consciousness?Bridging Psychedelics and Healthcare 9. ...
