 Your description of people as little whirlwinds of particles that are shared and exchanged when we interact is spot-on. Call it data, energy, quantum particles, whatever, it’s very legit. It sounds like you integrated that experience nicely too (which is rare - it’s easy to look back on it as “just the drugs” rather than letting it inform your worldview).

What’s cool is you don’t have to be in physical proximity to the person. So when you publish a podcast, you and your listeners are also treated to a bit of this exchange of energy. It’s quite cool to experience this and be aware of it happening in the moment (🙋‍♂️hey there) even without the drugs. That’s kind of the point, after all, isn’t it. I think it was Ram Dass who said, “once you’ve gotten the message, you can hang up the phone”. So while my days of, shall we say, “induced” psychedelic experiences are behind me, I continue to appreciate these planes of consciousness that aren’t usually available to the conditioned mind. 

Thank you for today’s exchange of energy - it’s an honor and a pleasure to share. “Namasté” and all that 🙏
