Thanks, very interesting and clarifying!

Very interesting. Ty I went on a "spiritual quest" today so that was a perfect thing to listen to at the end of the day

Found this helpful and insightful.

Alan's discussion of the fifth precept is totally on point! I love hearing his perspective.

Great discussion combining compassion and psychedelics and Buddhism.
