A Week In Darkness: The Purest Medicine | Aubrey Marcus Podcast

- I have experienced most of the plant medicines and transformative practices known to man and none have been as powerful and as pure as spending 6 days in absolute darkness and silence. In this podcast we flip the script and AMP Veteran Erick Godsey lead’s me through the story using the framework of the hero's journey. I talk about the emotions and thoughts racing through my head in a chronological order, and they get more intense as the days went on.
I initially experienced strong feelings towards exercising minimalism, but quickly my brain moved on to more delicate subjects such as how to love, how to love yourself, how to let go of someone you love, things like that. As it put me back together, though, it broke me for the second time, and that time was a lot more profound. Since the visions and hallucinations that I received kept getting stronger and stronger each day, my body kept leading me on this path towards having inner monologues about very deep topics, such as what is the meaning of life, and so on.
Adjectives fail to describe the gravity of what I encountered, from the incredible difficulty of grappling with my mind, to the unimaginable beauty of the emotions and visions. To synthesize my findings into a single mantra it would be: Love Yourself and Be Honest. Oh, and for anyone who thinks the brain doesn’t produce DMT endogenously in this state, since vivisection is not an option, I would challenge them to experience the darkness as an N=1 ;) If you’re interested in experiencing this medicine, this is the place that I went to: darknessretrea...
