71: How to Overcome Loss, Beat Boredom, and Stay Present | Aubrey Marcus

The body is the foundation. When the body is strong, healthy, and energetic then everything gets easier.

I realize that every day, I'm simply tomorrow's idiot

We all need to know that we're biological creatures, Homo sapiens, who are biologically wired to look and be interested in a variety of different sexual partners... It's built into our system.

I talked to an NFL quarterback recently and he's won a Super Bowl. We were talking about psychedelics and he said, 'Let me tell you something. I won a Super Bowl, but you know what's better than that? Just taking mushrooms on the beach.'

I have the utmost respect for anybody else who's tried an open relationship because it will bring up all of your core insecurities, your need for validation, and all these other deep wounds

I think THC, on a mild dose, can be very relaxing. It can help you laugh and enjoy your experience a little bit more. But, on a higher dose, it can be the most challenging of all the plant medicines.

If you're going through something that's really challenging, ask yourself, 'Hey, are you tired?' If you're tired, it's just going to be so much harder.

If you have alcohol, you're going to sleep like shit

For everything that chemically alters our consciousness... let's have some respect

I always tilt my lance towards the scariest shadows that I can find in my psyche. Psychedelics are really good at pointing those things out. They really show you where you're afraid and help you go straight towards that thing and then release whatever fear that is.

The funny thing about THC is it's simultaneously the mildest and the hardest of all the psychedelics in the world, in my opinion

The end goal should be able to live with that same rapture and pleasure of a psilocybin experience every single day

As we look forward to the future of medicine, it's going to be guts and mitochondrias... Those are the things that everybody's going to be paying attention to.
