    Join host George on the True Life Podcast for an enlightening holiday season episode featuring Dr. Susie Ross, founder of Susie Ross & Associates and author of The Map to Wholeness.

    In this profound conversation, Dr. Ross unveils her groundbreaking Figure Eight Model of Transformation—a research-backed framework developed through her doctoral work that maps the full cycle of deep human change. Going beyond Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, she reveals the often-overlooked “hidden half” of transformation: the private, integrative phases that turn pain into purpose, breakdown into breakthrough, and fragmentation into wholeness.

    From a transcendent mountain experience that shaped her life’s work, to the nine phases of integration (including displacement, grief, dismemberment, surrender, birth, abundance, and more), Dr. Ross provides a clear, evidence-based map for navigating life’s catalysts—whether peak experiences or traumas.

    Discover why true transformation requires both the outward heroic quest and the inward journey of dissolution and rebirth, and how completing the Figure Eight leads to inner harmony, abundance, and bringing “light into matter.”

    Perfect for anyone seeking meaning amid change. Visit suzieross.net (coupon available for listeners) for one-on-one sessions, integration circles starting in January, and more. Book: The Map to Wholeness.

    In this explosive episode, Dr. Aubrey de Grey — the pioneer of “damage-repair” rejuvenation biotechnology and founder of the Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation — explains:

    • Why his foundation is running the largest mouse combination studies ever attempted (2,000 mice, 8 interventions)

    • How close we really are to Longevity Escape Velocity (his 50/50 estimate: 10–15 years)

    • Why “immortality” headlines are deliberate misinformation and why he actually works on health, not lifespan

    • The three ironclad reasons these therapies will NOT be only for billionaires

    • Rapamycin, peptides, psychedelics, young blood, biohacking — what actually moves the needle

    • Why raising $6 million for the next mouse study is scandalously difficult (and how you can change that)

    • The one slogan he wants the movement to adopt: “Make aging the new COVID”

    Dr. de Grey also answers live audience questions on overpopulation fears, societal ossification, term limits for centenarians, and whether extreme life-extension is “cancer on a global scale.”

    If you care about adding decades of healthy life — for yourself, your parents, your kids — this is the one to share.

    🎙️ True Life Podcast – Episode: Eric Osborne (Sanctuary Psilocybin Church) – The Deep Truth About 3,000+ Journeys, Ego Traps, Community Healing & the Future of the Psychedelic Renaissance

    In this raw, powerful, and deeply honest conversation, George sits down with Eric Osborne — one of the most experienced psilocybin facilitators alive (3,000+ journeys guided, 500+ personal journeys over 25 years).

    This is NOT another surface-level psychedelic chat. This is the real, unfiltered view from someone who has quietly walked the medicine longer and deeper than almost anyone on the planet.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • Why true “expertise” in psychedelics may not exist — even after 3,500 journeys

    • The ego trap that hits almost every facilitator (and how Eric learned the hard way)

    • Why the sudden rush of certifications and weekend trainings worries both of us

    • The moment Eric was told in ceremony: “Jamaica will be the lighthouse — and you will light the torch” (and how he fought it for a year)

    • Getting attacked, smeared, and erased by parts of the psychedelic community — and why he’s now grateful for it

    • Why community is the real medicine (and how people heal profoundly before ever taking a mushroom)

    • Eric’s personal journey with borderline personality traits, suicide attempts, and discovering he’s a massive empath

    • The unseen danger: people triggered into psychotic breaks just by being around high-dose ceremony (without ingesting anything)

    • Why Eric went to jail for mushrooms — and still believes they should never be illegal

    • Energy transmission, co-processing trauma, Qigong secrets, and purging on behalf of others

    • Will the psychedelic renaissance survive the hype cycle? (Eric’s bold prediction using the Qigong crackdown in China as a mirror)

    • The real reason psychedelics are controlled: they awaken latent human abilities that dissolve social guardrails

    • Why courageous, lifelong community is the only safe container for this work

    Guest:

    Eric Osborne – Co-founder of Sanctuary (sanctuary.org), the world’s first public psilocybin church

One dream — lasting half a lifetime inside — delivered the geometric constraint that governs whether a cell, a mind, or an entire civilization lives in coherence… or dies in thermodynamic suicide.For the first time in public, the woman who heard the entire field speak its structure in a single breath steps forward — not with another theory, but with the missing law older than language itself.This is not philosophy.This is not spirituality.This is the Lila Code: a falsifiable, cross-disciplinary map that unifies biology, physics, neuroscience, consciousness, and societal collapse into one coherent pattern.In this electric, nearly 2-hour conversation, Lila and George go deep:• How every child once saw the field… and how the world hypnotized us into seeing only shadows• The observer, the field, and consciousness as the bridge between them• Why cancer in a body is geometrically identical to war in a civilization• Ethics as physics: “harming your neighbor = harming yourself” is not morality — it’s geometry• The coming phase-transition: why AI job loss is civilization’s final rehearsal before coherence or collapse• The two-step path to liberation: stop doing what doesn’t feel like love… and trust the organism to carry you• Fear vs. clarity: why darkness disappears the moment you turn on the light• Education of the future: teach pattern recognition, not labels• The coming map (simpler than the periodic table) that ends duality and ends fearThis episode is a remembering.Many listeners reported spontaneous tears, chills, and the unmistakable feeling of “I already knew this.”If you’ve ever felt the world telling you to “grow up and forget” your deepest knowing — this conversation is medicine.Key Moments & Chapters00:00 – Epic cold open: “She delivered the fourth law…”06:20 – The dream that lasted a lifetime (age 8 story)14:40 – How society silences children’s direct perception23:00 – Defining the Observer, the Field, and Consciousness as the bridge33:10 – Psychedelics, resonance, and the one clear signal called love44:50 – Cancer = cells forgetting the organism.

    This episode cuts straight into the heart of the newest cultural hallucination: “You’re going to live forever.”

    Tech prophets preach it. Biohackers sell it. Billionaires chase it.

    But beneath the glossy promise lies the oldest human terror—the fear of dying, the fear of suffering, and the illusion that immortality is a birthright.


    Into this spiritual crossfire steps Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester—Madrinha, Torchbearer, transpersonal counselor, and Founder of Céu do Montréal, the Santo Daime church she established in 1997 to restore sacred memory to the North.


    A bridge between worlds, Jessica carries lineages shaped by Assagioli’s psychosynthesis and Grof’s holotropic vision, guiding seekers through the fire of self-confrontation for more than forty years. She is an ordained Interfaith Minister, Doctor of Divinity, and author of the two-volume Ayahuasca Awakening. From 2000 to 2017, she protected the Santo Daime sacrament under a rare Section 56 Exemption—holding the line between the state and the sacred.


    In this conversation, we explore:


    • The rise of immortality culture and why it’s erupting right now
    • How the denial of death creates spiritual adolescence on a civilizational scale
    • Why the elders who refuse to let go end up stealing the future from the young
    • The old-world gatekeepers—those who “can’t chew the leather” but still block the trail
    • Psychedelic traditions that teach how to die before you die
    • True spiritual adulthood as a path of responsibility, humility, and power
    • Ceremony as an antidote to the immortality fantasy
    • The difference between lineage and lifestyle branding in a world full of charlatans



    Jessica reminds us that the crisis isn’t mortality—it’s stagnation.

    A culture that refuses to die can never be reborn.


    This episode is a calling, a confrontation, and a torch passed.

    Lean in. Listen deeply. The future belongs to those willing to mature.

    Artem Smirnov | Normalize Psychedelics

    “One testimony at a time, he’s normalizing the miracle.”


    In this episode, George sits down with Artem Smirnov, Co-founder & Creative Director of Normalize Psychedelics — a project collecting 1,000 raw testimonies from people whose lives were radically changed by psychedelic medicine. Once a filmmaker documenting narrative, Artem has become a witness to resurrection: real people coming back from “impossible” experiences with new eyes, new lives, and new purpose.


    From a van rolling down the West Coast to a global archive of healing, Artem is preserving the unfiltered human truth behind psychedelic transformation — not the corporate version, not the sanitized version, but the real one.


    In this conversation, we explore the movement, the mission, and the mythology behind the psychedelic renaissance… and the questions that will define its future.





    Topics We Explore



    • The origin story of Normalize Psychedelics and why Artem chose testimonies over theory
    • The danger of sanitizing or corporate-branding a medicine born from rebellion
    • The difference between safe access and spiritual sterilization
    • Ritual, archetype, and the “impossible” — why psychedelic stories sound like modern myth
    • Whether the real war has always been a war on consciousness
    • The struggle between sacred medicine and capitalist extraction
    • Psychedelics as the potential literacy of the future
    • How to hold space for healing without turning it into an industry
    • What a world could look like where psychedelic experiences are considered a public good






    Key Questions From the Episode



    • “What does ‘normalizing psychedelics’ look like without sterilizing or neutering the rebellion that gave rise to them?”
    • “Is the real war not on drugs but on consciousness that refuses to behave?”
    • “What if psychedelics become the literacy of the future — and sobriety becomes the illiteracy of the past?”
    • “Are we ready for a world where psychedelic experiences are considered a public good?”
    • “How do we avoid turning sacred medicines into another consumer commodity?”






    About Artem Smirnov



    Co-founder & Creative Director of Normalize Psychedelics, Artem is traveling the world collecting first-person accounts of transformation — building the largest living archive of psychedelic healing on the planet.
