EP: 436 Dark Entities, Lucid Dreams & Psilocybin with Paul Risse *members only trailer
6/18/202621 min
Three dark vortex beings haunt Paul Risse for three straight days, taunting him in his lucid dreams with promises of power. What starts as an exploration of consciousness becomes a supernatural battle that reshapes his entire worldview. Paul is the author of The Psychedelic Christian, and his journey runs from a TV-free childhood in Texas to consuming psychedelics close to a thousand times in a desperate search for truth. He goes off-grid with no electricity. He fasts for thirty days at a stretch. He pushes his mind further than most people ever dare. He eats mushrooms close to a thousand times. And in the end, he finds that only the name of Jesus can protect him from the entities he meets along the way.
This is the conversation we could not put on the public feed. Paul sits in the basement and tackles the controversial connection between psychedelics and spirituality. He unpacks biblical pharmakeia, the Watchers, and their role in teaching humanity about root cuttings, and why he believes the modern church holds a truncated view of the supernatural. He shares powerful testimonies of healing from abuse, overcoming addiction, and the unconventional path that leads him to a deeper relationship with Christ. His story challenges traditional boundaries while staying grounded in Scripture.

[static] You know, we've heard the stories, Luke. Glowing eyes in the forest, sure. You know, a portal opening up at the gas station, fine. But paying $300 for a sweater? No, we don't do that.

No, we don't do that, and we don't wear sweaters in the summer either. But what are you wearing this summer? I think summer always changes how we get dressed and the things we gotta wear, and you gotta refresh that wardrobe. And that's why we keep coming back to Quince. They focus on high-quality essentials that feel and look amazing. Breathable linen, soft organic cotton, well-made basics without the luxury markup. And right now, Quince has got a full summer line. European linen pants and shirts starting at just $34.
Nate Henry· Host0:36
That's right. They've got all kinds of things. Mongolian cashmere, washable silk, linen, leather bags, bedding, all the good stuff without the luxury markup.

Soft tees that are easy to wear and lightweight cotton sweaters that are perfect for cool summer nights. I found some amazing go-to T-shirts there. They're just... They fit great. They wash great. Worn them all spring and summer. Also, amazing towels. The latest purchase I had there was the Turkish ultra plush bath towels. Everyone needs to upgrade their bath towel game, and everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories, cut out the middleman so you're paying for quality and not brand markup, and guess what? It goes way beyond clothes.
