Episode Description from the Publisher

Many years ago QP sat in a Santo Daime ceremony in Amsterdam. Perfect container. All the love and care. He flew through the most blue sky he had ever seen. No body. Just the real him.And came home unchanged.This episode is the most honest account in the entire consciousness arc. What the molecule can do — and what only practice builds. The Six Paramītas as the answer to everything the last four episodes have been asking. And the close that swings the dharma straight from the pulpit:"Any one can have a good time with a molecule. But it takes a real Bodhisattva to change not only their own life but the lives of others in a kind and compassionate way."The molecule opens the window. Practice plants the garden. You grow it yourself. On your own will.The Six Paramītas: quantumawareness.net/the-six-paramitas/Six Yogas of Naropa: quantumawareness.net/six-yogas-of-naropa/Quantum Awareness: quantumawareness.net00:00  —  The Amazon, 193001:23  —  Into the Witchdoctor’s Mind — The Jungle02:03  —  Welcome Back02:34  —  The Vine and the Leaf — The Impossible Discovery04:46  —  Rick Strassman and the Spirit Molecule07:40  —  What I Found There12:20  —  Flying Through the Blue Sky13:31  —  The Congregation — We Were Really Cared For14:53  —  This Molecule Leads Nowhere15:21  —  The Lama’s Answer16:23  —  The Six Paramītas — What the Molecule Cannot Do22:10  —  The Real Work24:15  —  Next Time — Four Mountains
