Take this short quiz to assess your mental and spiritual readiness for a psychedelic retreat.
This one is going to stretch your imagination.
I'd like you to consider that... You are the Universe.
Yep, that’s right.
You. Are. The. Universe.
Not in a sort of abstract and woo-woo sense. In real and practical terms, and as such, you consciously or subconsciously create 100% of your reality.
Just so you don’t think I’ve lost my mind, let’s triangulate this a few different ways – through science, famous mystics, and the CIA (yes, that CIA).
Let’s start with the scientific. Luminary astronomer, cosmologist, educator, and all-around genius Carl Sagan described it as such:
What is Carl saying here? You are the Universe. Modern quantum physicists point us in the same direction.
In October (2022), the Nobel Prize was dished out to physicists that proved "The Universe is Not Locally Real".
What does that mean? Well, it means it's literally all in our heads. You are the Universe.
Now for a mystical perspective. Rumi, the 13th century poet declared that:
Someone a little more modern now, Eckhart Tolle:
Sounds familiar. Rumi and Eckhart are saying that You are the Universe.
Now let’s go a little deeper, to a more, uhhh, credible source. What does the CIA / American government have the say on this subject?
Quite a bit actually, and you can see a relevant and recently declassified paper from 1983 on the CIA website here. If you’re a curious human, read it.

Here are a few relevant excerpts from the paper:
In summary: You are the Universe. And the mystics had it right long before scientists and the CIA.
Now at the moment, this whole “You are the universe” business is just a bunch of words on a page. It probably doesn't hold real meaning for you.
But, it doesn’t need to stay that way. With sufficient self-discovery work and attunement of your frequency/vibration of your head-machine, you can experience this for yourself.
If there is to be a goal of working with plant medicine, meditation, etc, to experience one-ness with the universe is certainly one to consider.
To experience this spiritual reality first-hand has profound implications for just about everything:
