Discussing the Transformative Impact of psilocybin with Dr. Ilan

I remember hot tears just pouring down underneath this mask. And do you remember, I got up, I was thinking it was about an hour long, and it was almost five hours. And I looked up, I lift up my mask, and you were sitting there, and I said, I think you may have saved my life. And you went, oh, well, that's nice. That's nice to hear. And I said, how long was that? You said, I said, about an hour. He said, almost five. I said, oh, my God, because I remember saying, I don't want to come out of here. I saw the potential for love and compassion and connectivity with people in my life. And it was the most positive I've felt in 10 years. What you say is absolutely right. It's the work in between. You can go back and do another journey, but in between, it's training these neural pathways. You're opening pathways that are new, new ways of thinking and feeling. And now you've got to exercise them, just like a muscle in the body, right? Absolutely. Listen, you know, Billy, you're one of those who really, the amount of pain that you've endured in your life, to the degree that you've had that much pain, typically what we see people like that, when they come out of this, they have the most profound outcomes. They really never want to go back to that pain again. And you took on to this like a duck to water. Speaking of ducks going circles, you're not going in circles anymore. No, you're too. Yeah, you're really, you're one of the amazing journeyers, truly, because in that one session that you were able to see that your life was saved and who saved it was you. Yeah. And not only did you save your life, but you'll wind up saving a lot of lives around you as a result of that. And, you know, they call this the hero's journey, because what you do is you get to see that you're no longer the victim of your life, but you're actually the hero of this journey. And for the rest of your life, that's the role you're going to be taking on in terms of how you feel and see yourself.
