Rae Dwyer, who I initially noticed on Substack because her writing was so saturated with spiritual wisdom, learned from a young age to stifle her spiritual gifts and experiences, eventually turning to drugs in her early twenties in order to further suppress them. She then found herself experiencing plant medicines, “drugs” that create the literal opposite of spiritual suppression, and in this episode she brings us into these amazing ritual experiences. Rae is now focused on creating spiritual alignment without any external aid aside from the life force of the Universe. We also dive into our spiritual take on the nature of political division, as well as the core essence of every spiritual practice: letting go.
The Precise Point of Letting Go, with Rae Dwyer
From navigating spiritual connection in a world that doesn't believe in it, to a battle with drug addiction, to the profound power of spiritual surrender.

Tales from the Truth Seekers
In our society, real spiritual experiences are taboo and it’s tragic. The people who have seen or felt the truth are labeled insane by the secular, heretical by the religious, and are gaslit by the New Agers. Because it is a “here and now” experience that goes beyond identity, it innocently threatens any belief system that it meets by default. The result? The most beautiful part of ourselves, the truth of our existence, is forcefully banished to the margins and the experiencer themselves then suffers the consequences. On this podcast we will fearlessly dive into these margins, interviewing people from all walks of life who have felt the answers and seen the unseen. Our mission is to bring their stories out of the spiritual closet and into the open to gain precious insight and wisdom that go beyond ideals. In a society plagued with cultism, dogma, and nihilism, these stories serve as a healing elixir to both listener and experiencer alike, bringing truth, love, peace, and magic to an increasingly fearful and cynical world.
