Ep. 194: Tales From The Water Shaman Himself (feat. Samson “The Water Shaman” Luce)

On this One Time , on Psychedelics , you guys know that feeling you get when you meet someone who makes you feel more safe , knowing they're walking the planet the same time that you are . This is the exact feeling I got when I originally met the guest for today's episode .

This man is someone who is so full of love , joy , magic and fun that it is immediately apparent to anyone fortunate enough to cross paths with him , and I am forever grateful that he has entered my life . Friends like him remind me of my power and the magic of life when I get down on myself and when I allow my ego to sidetrack me .

And our ultimate intention with this episode is to show you all an intimate viewpoint into our friendship , our brotherhood , and to leave you with your belly hurting from laughter , your soul beaming with light and a smile that is almost impossible to wipe away from your face .

So please give me a big hand in welcoming my man , samson the water shaman loose to the show . Samson , my man , samson loose , aka the water shaman himself , is on the screen . You got burning . You got tensor rings there , bro . So on brand dude , how you doing today , brother , so glad to be with you .

That night we were at the farmhouse back in July and I woke up I got in super late , like midnight , and so when I got there everyone was sleeping , so I just went to bed . I wake up in the morning and you and I uh I forget her name , the woman from england and a couple other people yeah , katie , yeah .

I wake up and you guys look dead dog tired and I'm like did you guys get in there ? And you're like , no , we were up drinking all night with mark in the garage . I'm like , holy shit , dude , you guys are savages . You must have got in later than I went to bed and you got up earlier than I got up like absolute savagesages , dude .

So super excited to be with you , man , and to riff this into action . Dude , Bring the divine in , you know .

And so , like you know , angela would always talk about the six ways to connect with someone , right ? There's tobacco , there's cannabis , there's sugar , aka , like you know , soda . And again , if you're going to do it , just do it wisely , right .

When I drink , I'm getting some mezcal , some high-quality whiskey , things like that , and again I'll sip on that and have a blast . I don't get drunk off alcohol anymore . I learned my lesson a fucking million times doing that . But again , nothing is objectively bad in nature , right , unless our belief and our thinking makes it so .

So it's a great example of that . Portray or modulates a cell .

And while we're on this topic , everything's a conspiracy theory , because this whole reality we live in is one big conspiracy theory for the ego to pull us away from god , right ? So again , at the end of the day , when people are like , oh , you're gaslighting whatever it's like , dude , the nature of our universe is gaslighting and conspiracies .

You know , that really is what we're living in until we wake up totally totally what we believe we receive , and that's what we perceive , or what we .

But I have a different question for you , bro , because when we met and I was like this guy is nicknamed the Water Shaman , I'm like dude . I got to ask bro , so how did you get nicknamed the Water Shaman ? And please do us the great fortune of sharing that story on this one time on Psychedelics , brother .

I mean guns to my head , like everything you know , full on dark night of the soul , you know obliterating of thyself , and I stepped out of the game due to , actually , I was microdosing mushrooms at the same time that I was like deeply tied into doing a lot of cocaine and then , you know , moving , a lot of cocaine .

And so I eat a couple of grams of mushrooms this one night , just full on , done with everything completely broke , getting evicted from my apartment in Nauvoo Creek , new Mexico , I ate , like it was probably like two and a half grams , right , of some really potent albino and I eat them . And then 30 minutes go by and I'm like I forgot some into my car .

And so I live on the third floor of this apartment building and so I'm walking down to my car and all of a sudden , dude , this tree pulls me in like Star Trek , like a tractor beam , it's like , and I just I'm like , all right , bro , allow you know . So I just get this intuitive upload saying hug this tree and say I love you , mother earth .

So I'm like fuck it , dude , what do I have to lose ? I'm already , I already lost it all . You know I'm not this full on . You know obliterating , you know jumping out of the tower moment in tarot . Hug the tree . I'm like I love you , mother earth , bro . No lie . From the top of my head .

It felt like every single negative , dense , distorted , chaotic , painful , challenging experience that I had ever experienced in this lifetime and also potentially previous lifetimes before this one , just juiced out of my body . And then , bro , I get super charged with every single positive emotion you can imagine times , infinity , and that still doesn't do it justice .

And I let go of this tree , bro , and I'm like what the fuck ? Like I'm in a completely different universe , bro , like I think it was the first time that I had really just surrendered to myself and maybe accepted myself for all that I am and really tapped into this self-love .

I use the analogy I was like a USB drive with all kinds of malware and mind viruses and BS meaning belief systems and I get plugged into the mainframe of Mother Earth , gaia , and she rebooted me right and so all of a sudden I get these series of activations and all of a sudden I find myself moving here to Denver , colorado .

This was like eight years ago . I've been a chef for the last 20 years , so I was still in the cooking game and I basically manifested this job where I'm delivering spring water , right . So I'm like I'm going to get this job . I saw the job opening for El Dorado Natural Artesian Spring Water here in Colorado .

I'm like this is part of my journey , so I apply , I show up . There's something to be said about fake it till you make it . Because I pulled up and I had worked for a water delivery company , crystal Springs in Albuquerque , new Mexico , for one day .

Bro , like I pulled up and they're like in the cooking industry they call it a side or a stage where you pull up and you don't get paid but they basically feed you , you know , and they see if you're a good fit . So I'd only worked one day . I was like this is not for me . I tell the water company .

I'm like , yeah , I worked for this water company for a year and I can drive all the trucks and everything and they're right under the weight limit so you don't need to have like a CDL , right . They're like oh dude , you're perfect , you're hired .

At the same time , I've been going to this spring , this canyon here in Colorado it's like a little bit 30 minutes south of Boulder . It's called Eldorado Springs Canyon and , bro , just intuitively I was attracted to this spring .

There's actually a spot where Eldorado has like tapped into the spring water , right , but mother's like , yeah , right , bud , and there's a spot where she's actually giving water on either side of this creek so you can go and get raw , artesian spring water .

So I would go there and just , I was just drawn to this place and so , boom , I'm delivering the spring water and I would continuously go to this canyon and I would just pray there . I would , you know , go and do river dips . You know summer fall , you know the whole thing Doesn't matter .

If it was ice in there , I'd jump in the river just to let stuff go . And the spring actually gave me the name , or at least that's why I was calling myself the self-appointed water shaman , because I felt like what ended up happening was similar to food , like if you go out to eat or something and the chef is pissed off or he's angry .

You're going to taste that , right , compared to , you know , grandma's cooking or mom's cooking , right , the love's in there , right ?

So the love is the main ingredient , and I started realizing that my mental , emotional state , and whatever it was that I was , you know , energetically , let's say , thought , forms , thinking , feeling would go into the water that I was delivering . And so actually , dude , this is a perfect time . This is what I would do at every single water delivery .

I would breathe into my heart . So I invite y'all to let's do a quick little Trinity breath meditation is what it's called .

So , basically , what you do is you get yourselves as comfortable as you possibly can in this now moment and you focus your intention and your attention on your heart center , and then from there , you simply breathe in and connect your heart to the heart of Mother Earth , using visualization , imagination .

And so we give ourselves a deep breath , allowing all the loving , nourishing , grounding , connecting , harmonizing energies of mother earth to flow up through our feet and permeate every cell in our being . On that inhale and then on the exhale , allowing all that we are to just settle into the sacred space of our heart .

And then the second breath , connecting our heart to the heart of all of creation , breathing in everything that we can perceive and receive from the inside out outside , in Just breathing in all that we can perceive and receive from the inside out outside , in just breathing in all that we are , and again , on that exhale , allowing all that we are to settle into

the sacred space of our heart . And then this third breath , merging the energies of earth within our being and the energies of sky within our being , just simply bridging the worlds .

And again , on that inhale , breathing in everything that does serve us , and then , on the exhale , allowing everything that we have ever been , are being and are yet to become to just settle into the sacred space of our heart . And so , basically , what I started doing was I would do this every single time .

I would pull up to a multi-million dollar estate or house or wherever I was at , even jails . I mean , I've been everywhere here in Colorado dude , from like military bases to , you name it , hospitals , everywhere .

And so notice like I'm carrying these five gallon jugs of spring water and breathing into my heart and I'm just anchoring pure joy , pure love , pure illumination into every drop of water .

And I started noticing that would have a shift compared to if I was pissed off or getting road rage or whatever I had going on in my life , and I would notice that people would respond magically . I mean I would drop off the water and then I would go back in like a two-week cycle and I would see them again and they would come out .

They're like happy , they're like come inside , have some breakfast . I got you breakfast . Come and get some coffee . You want some mushrooms ? I mean , I met everybody across the spectrum , right ? So that's the legend of the water shaman .

And to be continued , because I actually quit last year or resigned and I tell myself the story that I'm no longer the local , domesticated water shaman , I'm the global , international water shaman dude , let's go , bro .

You know , and I imagine , like myself , like you can , you know , fall into patterns of taking yourself too seriously from time to time and all that shit happens . But , but , dude , life to me is just one big game , you know , and that's kind of what it's always been for me .

And laughter is the medicine of my soul , dude , like , laughter is just the thing that I prioritize more than anything and everything in my life .

And so every time I see you , bro , even when , for all the listeners , I was just wrapping up the podcast with Zipporah that you guys probably heard last week and Samson hopped on because it was , you know , seven minutes after we were going to start the podcast and I hadn't texted him yet , and just immediately when I saw your smile , dude , I was like , bro ,

I can't wait for that episode . We're going to have so much fun . Me and Zipporah were having a blast .

I was like , dude , just your energy man is so on point , and for anyone that hasn't met Samson in person , you know , for me personally , a lot of people say a lot of things , right , a whole lot of things , and I've been fortunate enough to meet some really you know influential people and whatnot , and what I will say in my experience is not everyone is as

open as you may think they are , and that's not a judgment or anything , it's just an observation . But I think of myself as someone who's very open , like I love making friends with literally anyone . I don't care how old you are , what ethnicity you are , whatever , it doesn't matter Like I just love human beings .

So when I see you , man , I feel that energy in you , dude , like I feel that energy in you , dude , like I feel like that , like life is one big game and I'm just here to laugh and love and just have a fucking blast and , dude , I really appreciate about you . So I'm so glad I asked that story , dude .

But it's true , man as I am , you are , you know , and I , we all , I think have the capacity to be joyful and be happy , you know , and also , at the same time , like I'm aware , that there is an inherent psychopath that lives inside of me and it's up to me to keep myself in check .

Whatever it is , we've been tight with our shadow , you know , and we've allowed it to exist , but we've kept it under certain parameters . We haven't avoided it , but we also haven't let it consume us .

I feel like , for those of us that know the depths of our darkness , it honestly just makes sense to be joyous all the time , because you know again , when you know how terrible things can get and how negative they can feel and whatever it's like every moment at least for me and I imagine I speak for you too but every moment for me , it's just another

opportunity to choose joy . Does that mean that I'm perfect at it ? Fuck , no , of course I'm a human being , right , we're here to be messy color outside the lines and you know , quote unquote , get it wrong .

But I will say that every time I get it wrong , I get a fucking huge epiphany that allows me to tap deeper and enjoy that I was able to before I got it quote unquote wrong , so that's been interesting too bro .

Whatever we're sending out their thoughts , emotions , words , actions they're going to come back to us and I realized I was like well , actually , from a young age , noticing I would , I got to give credit to my mom because she's like she , she's getting better , especially with the unlifted nunchuck skills and just watching her and observing her as a kid , with all of

the chaos and distortion that I experienced from a super young age , which honestly I feel is my medicine . Right , like because I've entered such deep depths within the quote unquote darkness or hell based experiences , my roots are eternally in hell , so that my tree branches are infinitely in heaven .

Right , and so I always be like thanks , mom , for your quote unquote negativity . Because I realized , hey , the , the we could say actions or results of choosing to be , you know , hypercritical or hyper negative , or , you know , angry , pissed off , are not as bountiful as choosing to just smile and breathe and enjoy every moment , because it's all a perspective .

Dance right Like whatever we can , you know , perceive in a situation . It could be shit or it can be really great . And even there's , like the saying from Henry Ford whether you think you can or you can't , you're right .

But my mom is the strongest sensei I've ever trained with , because , you know , she built my buttons , she knows exactly how to push them and she does lead more negative right , and that's not a judgment , just observation . I've lived with her my whole life and so , at the end of the day , for a long time I played the victim , bro .

For a long time I was like boy , my mom liked this , like yada , yada , and then when I got into a lifted , I was like , oh shit , and it took a while , it took a little bit of time .

This really dawned on me about two years ago probably , where I was like whoa , actually , the best gift I've ever gotten is my mom , because if I want to put myself out there , right , and go on podcasts and yada , yada , there's going to be people that are going to talk shit , right .

There's going to be people that are going to try to cut me down and say shitty things about me and whatever , right . And even if I was just a normal person , if I went to the store , someone might try to . What I now understand about triggers is that you know again , like when you get triggered , it's something inside of you .

It has nothing to do with the person that just said it , right ? It has nothing to do with even what they said . It's what it brought up in you based on what you already believe about yourself from an unconscious level . So with my mom , I had years of her pushing my buttons and me playing the victim .

But when I came into the awareness of the fact of like , oh shit , these triggers are my responsibility , the fact that she's gifting me the opportunity to see all the belief systems I have in myself that are mind viruses is actually fucking super high level . I'm like what kind of guru do I have for a mom , right ? And so now my litmus test .

And just like Ram Dass said , if you think you're enlightened to spend a week with your family , it's because they know better than anyone , right ? No matter who you try to become in the world , they always know your real self .

You know they're not going to see you as someone that's doing this or a famous movie producer or whoever the hell you end up becoming . They're not going to see you like that . So they're not going to treat you like a lot of other people around you .

If they're trying to get you know something from you , whatever , we're going to treat you so with my mom now , anytime I go over there and you know she ends up saying something that brings something up to me , I tell her I'm like dude , thank you , like you just brought another thing up to me .

Like you know , and and again that dog in me wants to be like , oh , it's her , but it's like no , it's not . Because , again , if we're all one being , then what is she saying ? That that triggering is coming from some way of me thinking I'm not good enough , not worthy , whatever .

And so it's been literally jedi mind tricks since I was a kid in a beautiful , amazing way . You know it never was anything super toxic with her or anything like that , but you know it's . Yeah , she's my ultimate guru . You know it's been amazing . So that's amazing that you have that experience too . Bro .

but I feel , I feel like as advanced beings , which I feel like we all are , and you know evolution , some of us are evolving and some of us are de-evolving , from the observer perspective and releasing judgment .

It's all divine , you know , all is well in all creation and I like the idea that I heard , or the idea shout out you thanks for that spell , the idea to where it's like whatever triggers or dramas or traumas or ancestral stuff that we have , you know , came into this life with , is accurately our medicine , right , and like I'm grateful for all of the challenges

and all the distortions and all the chaos because I'm able to look at it now like wow , this is a baseline for myself to realize .

Okay , because I have dived so deep into the darkness in this incarnation that I now can be a wayfinder and a guide for every being that comes into my life the security guard at the grocery store , you know somebody that's next to me in traffic .

I mean the level of our ability to either consciously respond to people , places , things , experiences , or to unconsciously react , and it's not to say that reactions are bad , because it's like you trip and your body catches you , like that's pretty helpful , right ?

It's like , yeah , rather catch yourself than fall on your face , and , at the same time , our ability to like , dial into these we could say hyper reactivities , which can present themselves as triggers , versus the conscious responding . We're able to like , pause and breathe and , like you know , act accordingly right , but ultimately , like the .

The reactivity is a dance , because you know , we hear that saying like , oh , kill the ego .

Or it's like no , no , dude , the ego is our best friend , the ego is keeping us alive and you know , it's like we can demonize plants or you know people , or be like this person's bad , and all that is is just a belief system , it's just an idea , and the only reason that they are quote unquote bad is because we're holding that polarity of them , quote

unquote . Being that way , it's like something I think about with relationships in life . And you know the idea . It's like I know you , you it's like accurately no , you fucking don't , because we're still understanding and knowing who we are . So how could we ever think that we fully know who another person is ? And so it's a dance .

You know , it's like , all right , I've just been making it super simple . I mean , like , fuck it all , I'm going to show up and shine .

So at the end of the day , of course it makes sense that it would be with knowing oneself or knowing someone else as well , and that can also be kind of scary , but it can also be the best thing ever .

And the analogy I always use here when this kind of thing comes up is Kevin in Home Alone , the first Home Alone , right , he makes his family disappear , quote , unquote , right , I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it , but he comes downstairs and he's like I made my family disappear . Fear , right , I made my family disappear .

Fear , right , I made my family disappear . Faith right , so you can see him go through that polarity shift right there . And that's exactly what I , you know . It feels like we're speaking about right now . Right , that ability to like , realize , like , oh , let's say , about the specific example of knowing someone like , oh my God .

Like , maybe someone listening is like , oh my God , I don't know anyone because I don't know myself . Oh my God , like , maybe someone listening is like oh my God , I don't know anyone because I don't know myself . Oh my God , I don't know anyone because I don't know myself .

Aka , there's more to figure out , there's more to learn , there's more to experience , there's more bliss , there's more joy , there's more all of it right , and that is fucking fun , you know why ? Because life is all about experiencing .

Things came here to have an experience and I think at least I'll make it personal for me for a long time I warded off a lot of those experiences that would be perceived as classically negative , when in reality they were happening regardless .

I didn't have a choice in the matter of what they were , you know if they were happening , but I did have a choice in how I viewed them and what I took away from them . And that's really the only choice we have , and that's the best choice . Choice because that's what allows us to really shape our reality and create our reality .

And to me , that's what creating a reality and being the creator of your reality is all about . It's about perspective , it's about your worldview and how you see the things that happen , because they're not objective in nature . Even quantum physics says that . Right , there is no objective reality .

So if not , and everything is subjective , then what's most beautiful about life is the infinite different probabilities of subjectivity . So I'm with you , bro , fucking sick Dude the relativity man , I mean to all of our relations .

And then the dance there is like okay , an adult is a being who gifts themselves and takes full responsibility for all of their creations and we're all the master creators in our reality , whether we think we are or we're not , you know . And so it's the funny part with like triggers , for example .

Right , it's like mostly in our mind when we think of triggers , somebody says something or does something that quote unquote makes us feel some type of way , but in all reality that's simply a medicine .

And just as much as there can be a polarity of a negative quote unquote trigger , we have the ability to tap into a quote unquote positive trigger where it's like we can anchor in wow , I feel so good right now .

Right , and you can like breathe into yourselves and then you can like hold your fingers in a specific mudra or you know , you do the three breaths or do it in one breath , where it's like earth , sky and you , you know , tapping into the imagination , and we can create these positive triggers which are like beneficial feedback loops or biofeed .

You know , biofeedback , we could say boomerang effects to where it's like , dude , it's all on us , like , if you really think about it , bro , like it did not start with us and it's all on us and I'm a legit Testament , like I'm still like in the moment and the place and the space that I'm at right now .

Dude , this has been the wildest , most transformative , transformative year of my entire life . Like I had never had a passport except for this year . Just got my passport at the beginning of this year . I was like living in tulum , mexico , for most of the year , made it to peru .

I mean just just got back like a month ago from mexico chilling with 103 year old fire shaman and I'm like looking at my life , dude , because I was like homeless five months ago . I was like stuck in peru five months ago like absolutely fucked , zero money , you know , I mean no way of like , no perceivable way of .

You know , okay , my bank account's reflecting zero and negative and I owe people money and I'm in this ultimate third world country . Looks like I'm gonna be a potato farmer . That was my dream . So I'm like I'm just gonna . I'm just gonna eat san ped , san Pedro cactus in the sacred valley of Peru and grow potatoes and grow ayahuasca . That was the dream .

Not a bad life , bro , dude . Honestly it sounds super peaceful . But now I'm talking to you in a $5 million mansion and I'm driving Mercedes , benzes and BMWs and I'm like what is going on ?

I was literally zero money five months ago , somehow made it back here to the States , saw you in Virginia a couple months ago and then , from Virginia , landed back here in Colorado , and I gotta say that it's all about our mindset , our perspective and our ability to tap into this ever greater expansion of wholeness within ourself , to really like , check ourself and

be accountable with ourself . Because the way I see it is , if we're experiencing anything that we don't necessarily like , it's there because we love it in some sense . Right Part of our shadow is manifesting . You know good examples like self-sabotage . Moved through self-sabotage this year .

It's just a belief system and a program that I've inherited from people conditioning society . You know , culture eats strategy for breakfast . So what are your cultures inside of your body and what are the cultures that are outside of your body ? Right , because we are who and what we surround ourselves with .

So it's been the most wild year where I can say , yes , drinking ayahuasca at the beginning of this year , completely game changer and transformative .

I mean , I literally had this feeling where it was like mama's like holding me and she's like everything in this universe is yours , my son , and I'm like , oh shit , well , it's time to show up and shine and be responsible for everything .

Then , if everything's mine , because if I don't like what I see in my world , it's up to me to get my feet on the earth and start , you know , tending the soil to flash forward to you know , um , honestly , this last , like the manifestation idea , right , like I manifested myself because I'd met Nick and Dulce in Virginia .

And then Mark's like these are your teachers , bro , and I was like all right , mark , like I'm going to soak it up , dude , and actually I do have a fun story , real quick too , about intuition , bro .

So y'all had left , right , um , that last day at the farm , and then there was just like five of us it was katie , nick , dual , say me and mark and we were like just cleaning up , like the last day . And then mark's like let's go shoot . And so we're at the range , we're shooting . And I brought I brought the double-sided tuning fork .

I was like , let's go , dude , I'm gonna tune up these bullets , baby . So we're at the range , you know . And then , and then mark's like yo , let's go wash off the gunpowder .

So we nick dual , say kt and me and mark , we all go to the river and we're sitting right in the middle of the river , we're like in a circle right , and intuition was like bring the tuning fork . So I'm like driving the side by side , like dinging the tuning fork because I'm like riding the cosmic speed .

And uh , we get to the river and I just I'm like , all right , bring the tuning fork and I put half of it in the river , as we're all like sitting cross-legged in a circle in the river and we're just vibing , and all of a sudden I just get this feeling within myself to just start doing shamanic beats per minute with this tuning fork .

So I stick the tune fork in the mud . It's halfway in the water and I just start digging this tuning fork , dude .

You know doing my water shamanics , connecting my heart to every you know molecule and drop of water running through the river and all of a sudden , bro , mark's like bro , that was a beaver . He's like what the fuck ? He's like ? I've been coming here for 28 years and he's like I've never seen a beaver on this property .

And I'm like like I was in the space where I like I can see everything , but I had my eyes closed . So I was like being able to like be the observer of my observer and I'm like getting this like 360 perspective . So I'm like , I guess we could say out of my body while also simultaneously in my body . You know , ding in this , this tuning fork .

All of a sudden the beaver bro comes from behind Mark's dad's headstone that's right there in the river , comes up and caresses Mark England bro Like comes up and gives him like a grind on me you know what I'm saying and mark , mark , mark , dude , he loses it , dude , in the best way . He's like what the fuck , dude ? He's all samson .

This tuning fork is yours . He's all . You're gonna be calling in beavers for the rest of your life oh my , my God , dude so that was the tale of the beaver dude .

We were all hanging out at the farm and I was like , oh , because you know , for everyone listening , we talking about mark england's farm house down in virginia . It's 100 acres of pure fucking awesome . It's so much fun , uh , so magical .

We go down there and shoot guns and have a blast and so on the dining room table , you know , in , like the dining room , that's probably the dining room table we be . So we're in the dining room and , uh , on the table it's a single-sided one . And I like , oh , like , where's the double sided one ? And Kim kind of looks at Mark .

She's like can I tell him ? And Mark's like yeah , tell him . I'm like all right , so , so Kim starts telling the story . Mark's like no , I'll finish it . So Mark tells the story . He told it the exact way you did , literally the same way , where you're like primed on me , dude . That's literally how it happened .

And for anyone that knows mark in person , you know how hilarious it is that something like that happened to him . Because , like you know , mark's such like a . He's an amazing fucking guy . I love mark so much , but he's like a , he's like a man's man , you know .

So , like the fact that some beaver came by and like , like , like he was like dude , it wiggled against me and then it smacked me with its tail like it was smacking my ass , you know , like it was the funniest thing ever . And when I heard that story I just couldn't stop laughing .

You know , because , again , it happening to mark of all people is so funny and it makes total sense , like why you would be the one to do that . Because , if any , if they just asked me , like , hey , if you thought one person out of the entire crew behind I was someone , a beaver , who would it be ? I'd be like water shaman easily , you know .

I would just say it internally so , funny dude . Yeah , it was wild , bro , I mean .

But uh , I mean it looks kind of sketchy because it's like a back thing , you know .

So it looks like I'm like carrying a rifle or something , yeah , like a rifle from like year 22 , 84 or something you know it's my ray gun just shooting out good vibes , you know yeah , man , but like the intuition , you know , like , I feel like the intuition is the moral of that you know story , because it's like all the time we we feel , quote-unquote

disconnected . I feel like maybe that's just a polarity experience for us to realize that we have these amazing abilities , and the idea is , it's like we're all the time getting these intuition , you know , I feel like inspiration is the gift that our spirit gives to us based on the thoughts , the feelings and the words and the actions that we're sending out .

We're going to get this feedback right . And it's wild because for the longest time , dude , I would like block these feelings , or you know I would . I would pretend like oh no , you know , lack of , maybe lack of belief in myself or whatever it is .

But I feel like the more we start accurately slowing down , breathing and listening to ourself , just the more magic this life gets , you know , and just starts quantum leaping , you know . And then there's so much available to us , dude , like , look , you're in Boston , I'm in Colorado , but we're face to face .

You know , this is magic through these black mirrors , dude , to face .

And again , it's like one of those kevin and home alone moments , right , if you play the victim , that's very scary , right . It's like , oh my god , what am I to do ?

But if you understand your divinity within and and you've experienced the God within you , then you realize that even though a belief may have been in you for a very long time , it doesn't mean it's going to take that much time or even longer to get a new one into you . Right , you know it's really based on just what you believe .

And you know it's funny , man , I think I've told this story before on the podcast . But when I first started getting into mushrooms and understanding , kind of like , what psychedelics were actually attracting to me , like divinity , and started to understand they were spiritual and things like that , I started to think .

I started to hear about entities and archangels and whatnot , yeah , and I was like man , dude , I'd love to talk to one of those .

You know , like one of those entities or you know , energies or whatnot , and I just thought in my head , you know , my logical brain was like you know , I bet they'll give me some crazy like story about how the world started , or they'll give me , like you know , what happened in Atlantis or like any of these things .

And what I realized was the most profound like idea I've ever gotten as a result of psychedelics , was the simplest thing to understand ever . That , like , when I actually heard it and I clicked it in that state , that subconscious , open state , everything shifted and it's simply whatever you believe you become .

That was it , and it echoed through every fucking fiber of my being , dude , and what I found is that simplicity to me equals God , divinity , slash where we truly are , the truth , et cetera . Complexity is the realm of the ego . So that's one of the ways in which I view life . Now , right , there's like kind of like three different ways . I do that .

Negative and positive , polarity is one , contraction , expansion is the other , and then that's the third one , right , and so that ability to be able to just ask myself like which does this feel like you ? One , right , and so that ability to be able to just ask myself like which does this feel like ? You know ? Does this feel like more simple ?

What does this feel more complex ? Because , I'll tell you , I've been in psychedelic experiences before where I started to get messages that are extremely complex and there's a part of me that wants to be like , oh , let me go run after that . But it's like no , that's a distraction , that's a thirst trap in the ethereal world . You know that's what looks like .

So it's really funny , man . But yeah , you just brought up that . I wanted to show that story again .

Before we connect to any medicine , man , I mean , it could be even water , right , and it's our intention , it's our prayers , it's our level of connection , and I feel like we're living in an interesting time where , you know , belief systems are changing and our world is changing at such a rapid pace and technology is just quantum leaping and it can .

I have perceived that it can be challenging for us to like keep up with the quantum leaps that are happening , right , especially if we're wanting to stay stuck in any quote , unquote belief system , because the only constant in the universe is change , right , and so , even in my experiences of running into super dark , distorted entities , honestly those are just parts

of myself that I have found right . It's just like anybody in our life that we love , or if there's anything in our life that we love , that's us . You know , like the things that we like , the things that I love about you , bro , are the things that I'm remembering that I love about myself like full on Right , and it's .

It's not that you know , external things are super nice , like I love hopping in an AMG G 63 and punching that thing to a hundred right . Or hopping on a Ducati monster and ripping it to 130 down the highway . I know that at that speed , 130 , one mistake I'm out of here , disappeared end game , right .

And it's not that those things do have value , right , but it's me that is inherently applying the value to things , because external things don't provide value , value but our perspective and our connection and our , you know , we could say like love , like you get a new car right and you're like wow , and you know , it's like maybe you like miss your old car in

whatever way . But I found a fun thing to do is to just it's all energy , right , energy is not destroyed , it's just transformed .

And so it's like , let's say , you have your old like I had like a honda prelude that was like super sick , it's like one of the sick , like best cars I had , when I first was like you know , hopping into the car scene and then I blew the engine on it and I was like no , how could I do this to myself , you know ?

And so that same energy I can , you know , put into the new x5 that I'm driving around , you know ? Or put into the , the glc you , I'm driving around , you know . Or put into the , the GLC , you know , whatever 63 . And it's just energy , right ?

Like all these things in our life , I feel like , are simply reflections to whatever the thoughts , the feelings and the actions and the words that I'm telling myself . Right ? Like there was a point in this year where I was like , starting a retreat thing , and I was super pumped and I put all this energy into it .

I was going to have this retreat in Tulum and then , all of a sudden , like , god works in mysterious ways , and then it just flows into what's your definition ? What's your definition of God ? For me , my definition of God is my consciousness , right . And then you flow into .

It's the repetitions in life and most of us have these ingrained thought forms where we just have these repetitive , unconscious , subconscious , unconscious thoughts and ultimately that's what's creating our reality , like the only way I went from being in a third world part of Peru to you know , managing , you know , 10 plus million dollars worth of assets .

Being the shaman for billionaires is all a mindset thing , right ? Like , yeah , I planted the seeds five years ago . You never know who you're going to meet in this life . That's the thing . So it's like the more that I can choose to show up as my authentic self , thankful to plant medicines and entheogenic compounds for we could say , realizing right .

I think we're all becoming realized right , and I have different perspectives on this one , because almost at times it feels like we can be in a simulation and it can also seem like maybe I'm like going back in time remembering how I became realized .

But ultimately it's the dance of like ever in greater wholeness and completion , Because ultimately we're always whole and complete . Even if we're experiencing some sort of disease or we're experiencing like anger or frustration or whatever it is .

I mean , dude , I can be standing in this $5 million crib and feel so lonely and feel so depressed and cry my eyes out and be like poor me and all these different stories . But then I can allow these feelings to be felt through fully , to completion and realize , like wait a second , bro . If I feel alone , I can add another L to that and it's all one .

Right , that's straight up . That's like you know again .

And , and , dude , just like you were saying too , bro , like there is no logical reason why I should have gotten on a podcast like opry marcus , within two years of starting my business , two years of living in my mom's house , to my own life , like , literally , there's no logical reason where I know many people that like are what I would think are famous .

They're like , dude , like , hit me up after . Like could you connect me to Aubrey ? I'm like wait , what ? Like ? I know , like how it was . It was the biggest mind fuck ever , right .

But the only reason it happened was because I had the belief it was going to happen and I wrote it out and I said it every day to myself , and every day I tune into the feelings of witnessing us high five at the end of the podcast . I watched all this occur every single day .

The way it manifested was even more magical , because God's always like I'll give you a plus one to that , you know . Think about even better . You know us . One of that you know .

Think about even better , you know , and that's why , again , like you know , that's why god does that , because , in my opinion , god does that because he knows that we're going to be limited in how we see ourselves right , but every time he gives us something even better and we have to go wait , we deserve that . Then it level .

It has the opportunity anyway to level us up , but again , like that opportunity to be able to go on a podcast that big and have it do as fucking good as it did to put my whole business on the map . Whole thing is wild . You know , like Aubrey said , so many amazing people on the type of ayahuasca , mushrooms and everything , and cannabis .

You know , I know what I know about it . I've felt this since 2019 , you know , uh , I mean , I felt my love for cannabis my entire you know adult life . But I knew that there was something waking up inside of me as a result of cannabis since 2019 .

And so like to see people like aubrey get it and say the same language that I was talking about , like , yeah , it helps you wake up punalini , all these things after him not liking it for so long because he never liked cannabis either . It wasn't even like he was starting from ground zero , he had hellish experience with the cannabis forever .

So it's like those things meeting mark through an instagram , like how I met mark for I don't know if you've ever heard of Samson , but basically I was at the dispensary with Rachel and we were working in cultivation .

And when we worked in cultivation cause we'd work like in different spots depending on what they needed that day and when we worked in cultivation , one of the things we would do is we loved the positive head podcast , we had just got into podcasts and that was like our podcast .

So we would pick the same episode , meet up in the center of the tables and be like all right , play on both of our things , and we'd go walk in different directions , work on the plants , and then we'd meet up like , oh , wow , that was a cool episode .

Well , one day we put on Mark England's episode never heard about this guy before and we both were like , oh my God , like this guy's awesome , like we want to take this courses , then we totally forgot about it , right ? So then , three years later , I'm going through my Kundalini awakening , which I actually just told that story on the poorest podcast .

So I'm sure it'll be coming out last week , you know , so people will have heard that and have context for it . So , basically , I come home , I'm starting to have this crazy Kundalini awakening . I'm feeling so much joy and love that I just want to help people and I don't know how to do it in the container I'm in at that point .

So I'm like , all right , I'm just going to start posting and pouring my heart out on Facebook , because I don't even have Instagram . So I pour out this thing on perspective and just like we're talking about right now literally pretty much the same conversation . Like you know , the world is not objective .

You know you have this amazing opportunity and responsibility to choose and it can happen overnight . And so I talked about in there how language is one of the aspects that shapes our reality the strongest . So someone reached out in a comment and was like where'd you hear that ? I was like , where did ?

Two hours later got my first voice note ever from mark , which , for anyone who knows me , I only sent voice notes , so you can either love or hate mark for that but like after I , after I connected with mark , he got me in and lifted and literally the entire life I live now was constructed around that one decision to tag him into the fucking facebook post .

So it's wild how the shit happened , man , like it was because I , I was , I was so focused on like , dude , I gotta meet that guy . It's like , oh my god , that guy and boo , that shit just fucking took root . So you know , the amazing thing about this is that we're talking about the good side of it .

Think about what happens if you're thinking about negative stuff . Right , same shit happens , right , but the great thing is that life's not happening to you , these things are out of your control at any point . And this is what psychedelics show you deep meditation , et cetera .

You can realize , oh wait , if I'm the one that's accidentally been creating that negativity , then I can just be more conscious and create only positive things .

And even when a negative , quote-unquote thing pops up because you've been focused on , you know , seeing it through the glass half full , you'll be able to quicker or quickly catch that negative and translate it and transmit it into a positive . And to me , that's what true alchemy really is .

It's what we're talking about right here it's the ability to look at a glass half empty under someone else's you know wording and say , nah , man , that glass is half full , right , like . If you can do that throughout life everywhere you go , then you're going to win every time , no matter what external things you have .

Because , again , none of this is real anyway . So I would much rather know that I'm taking my being with me than any of these temporary , finite things out here . So , fuck , dude , so cool Facts dude the philosopher is stoned . Oh my God bro . Holy shit , dude . How have I never heard that before bro ?

You know I'm like walking into hospitals and they're like the hospitals are full and they're like empty . I'm like dude , what world am I living in ? Like this is this is a trip and a half dude . People are all afraid . I'm like , even with the , the whole , you know , covid thing , I was like I don't believe in it . So therefore I never got tested , nothing .

I just I'm not playing this game . Thanks though pass . And I heard mark england on kyle podcast . Bro , he had a call to action at the end of a King's booze podcast and he was like he's like I got this website on puckered upcom . He's like if anybody wants it , hit me up . Dude , no lie , I hop in Instagram . Mark England , 2057 .

I'm like yo , mark England , I'm on puckered up as fuck . Do you want to be on my podcast ? Not expecting him to , you know , respond . And he sends me a voicemail what up water shaman , fuck it , I'll be on your podcast . And , dude , my mind just exploded , bro . I was like what dude ?

And like you know the connections from that , because I was super interested in lifted . So I told him I was like hey man , like I want to get into and lifted . And since then , level one , level two , and I mean I would not be where I am right now If I had never met you , if I had never met Mark England .

You know , it's like there's something to be said about this , like attraction factor , with gratitude , right and feeling grateful for everything that we're experiencing If we're caught in a super you know dense , you know heavy , as I like to call it gravity based experience , where you're just getting pulled into the underworld , ability to literally levitate or hop on the

levitator through any sort of you know hellish based experiences , because we've heard it in like I think it's different metaphysical teachings , where there's like my father's house has many different rooms in the mansion right and it's like there's so many different levels within consciousness and us as human beings , despite all the doings that we do , which the get to

do list can get pretty big sometimes , but ultimately we can achieve it all , like , whatever we set our mind to do , or , as I like to say , heart , mind , whatever I connect my heart , mind it's . It's up to me whether I think I can do it or I can't do it . And if another human being has done it , I have realized that I can do it .

Hundredth monkey effect , right ? So it's like I always wanted to be a mechanic . Now I'm working on 100 , $200,000 exotic frigging , you know , mercedes Benz's , audi's , bmw's and all these things . Before I was like , afraid , because I didn't have that belief in myself . And then , ultimately , it's just a skill set , right ?

A skill set to be able to , you know , communicate and realize that every single person in our life has affected us and influenced us to where we are now .

So when we start thinking about our thinking and realize , like , wait a second , what are the forces that are influencing me in my life , most of the time , bro , I would say 90 plus percent of our feelings and our emotions , they're not ours , dude . We've inherited this body from our ancestors , right ?

And so the more that we dive into maybe even just one trauma and we transform it into our dharma , right ? We transform these things into being able to just shifting our perspective with them .

It changes the game , dude , like everything around us is loving us all the time and that actually flows into like a DMT , you know , based experience where our body is endogenously creating DMT . And you know you can . You can go , I mean , to the Amazon and smoke Changa .

Or you can go to Mexico and smoke Changa , or you could find somebody here in the states that'll be like here's some pepescoite or mimosa tree bark extract , or if you really want to get wild 5meo from bufo , but I don't recommend that one until you're ready , um , which I'm .

I'm not ready for 5meo , and I know that for sure , but whenever it comes I'll be ready , you know . But I want to find somebody who , uh , because you know , it's just . It's something that I realized as being a chef , right , it's like love is the main ingredient in life , right , and I'm only as good as the quality of my ingredients .

And I realized like , yes , things may not be fair in life and we all have access to equal golden opportunity based on where we're at , what we're thinking , how we're feeling and who we're connected to . And the dance there is like , okay , well , what can I do ?

It's like , if you want something in life , I have found that the magic sauce to receiving things in life is accurately asking the question how can I help , how can I serve you , how can I make your life better ? Versus give me right .

We live in this day and age where it's like instant gratification , it's like you know , I deserve this and ultimately , we do deserve it . Whatever we think we deserve , whatever our baseline of you know deserving is , we're going to get that right . If we think we deserve shit , then we're going to get shit , you .

If we think we deserve shit , then we're going to get shit , you know . But if we think we deserve the most heaven sent , you know , angelic ascended experiences on the planet we're going to get that . And also , life is a mixed bag .

So every once in a while , you know you're going to get angry , you know , and anger is just a fall on the way to the mountaintop . So it's like , well , how am I consciously responding versus unconsciously reacting ? And I feel like there's two myths that are happening right now .

We , as well as myths , are like breaking down in our world , where cause we are entering this interesting time , dude where there's like a value crisis in our world , where it's like what's valuable and polarity and people are picking sides and like all this stuff .

But the two myths that I've found is one side , which we could say is the illuminated side , or the light aspect , which would be the Phoenix right , being able to burn away all that no longer serves and literally rise again , versus the unconscious aspect , or the shadow side would be like the zombie right , unconsciously consuming things in our world .

And I have a potentiality to be the zombie , with people , places , things , experiences , substances , as well as the exact same time , I have the potentiality to tap into the Phoenix in every moment and really I think it's like a moment by moment choice dude . It's like am I choosing things that are happy making ? Am I choosing to be self full versus self less ?

Or , you know , it's like are we blessed to be less or are we blessed to be more ?

We're not here to color inside the lines , right , we're here to be messy . Let it get messy . You know , have an experience . It's kind of like the Grateful Dead said what is what ? A weird , strange trip , right .

And at the end of the day , if you can just realize that this is an experience it's finite in nature , but our true divinity is infinite in nature then , and you can also surround yourself with other people that are going to help you , help you remember more and forget less , then that's what I found the equation to be , aside from the healthy food and yada ,

yada , yada , all that stuff . But you know , again , if you can surround yourself with the right people and just brainwash yourself with the fact that you are the creator of your reality , you're the only one to blame for anything going right or wrong in your world , and you get around other people that are going to catch you .

If you try to say anything different , right , and be like , ah , you're doing that thing again , then eventually you will reach a world where you feel so charged up , man and bro , dude , I wish we could talk for three more hours . Bro , I feel like we're just cracking the surface of this book .

We're in chapter one , but , bro , I got to have you back on for round two . Dude , I can't wait for this , bro , maybe we'll do the next one , we . But , dude , I want to make sure I give people an ample opportunity to find out where they can connect with you . Bro , I imagine you're going to get a lot of questions .

A lot of people want to reach out to you . Where can they go to find you ? Man , we'll make sure to put all the show notes , of course , but I'd love to hear it right from your mouth first .

So like I love you , man , I'm proud of you and you are fucking amazing . So just keep that . Keep it up , king . You know what I mean . I see you , bro , if anybody needs anything , text me or call me 720-361-3406 . I'm here to be of service . I love y'all and , if you like , you can follow me on instagram . Samson , little wolf loose , l-i-t-t-l-e .

W-o-l-f-l-u-c-e that is my full legal name . Run it , you know , and uh , got a lot of , got a lot of offerings going on . I'm mastering , uh , angelic Reiki massage right now with essential oils . I just started my own , um , essential oil like network marketing thing , so tapping into the healing power of oils and also applying those with plant medicine ceremonies .

Got retreats coming up here in Colorado and um , yeah , if y'all , y'all need inspiration to realize that you are the water shaman and you are the water shamaness , I'm here to inspire and thrive yo and we can all hold hands and , you know , remember and create this more beautiful world that our heart knows is possible , cause it's all on us , you guys like .

The more we choose to be the responsible co-creator in our reality , the more the world is already transforming into a better place . But it's based on our perspective . You know , if we're going to focus on the shit and all the negativity and all the chaos that's happening in the world , it's always going to be that way . You know .

I'm saying it's been the end of times for the last 5 000 years plus , and , and guess what , we don't get out of this alive anyways . So make sure you're alive before you die .

What is the one piece of advice you could offer them to allow them to use proper discernment in figuring out whether these medicines are right for them at this moment in their lives ?

Cause , intention is like plugging in the navigation system within your consciousness , right , it's like okay , if you don't know where you're at , we got maps for these things , and so let your guide be your ever greater , expanding wholeness and choosing to be like okay , what if every single moment is revealing greater ways that I can choose to accept and be aware

and love myself ? And I feel like through that , bro , there's a new kind of love that's on this planet and I'm calling it love 2.0 . And the only way to access it is through acceptance and awareness . And it's not duality based .

Where it's like I love you if , and I love you when it's , it's , it's fully unconditional , because it's the dance within ourself to like the more I love myself , the more everything outside and inside myself is loving me . So let your intention be how can I love myself more and realize that , just because you exist , you are worthy .

You don't need to do anything , the external things are cool and everything comes to you . It's like fishing .

You know vibes that attract , stay attracted , and that's something that I'm super fucking grateful for , bro . So , dude , thank you so much . Guys , if you love the show and you love Samson , like I love Samson , go give the show a five-star review , hit him up . He gave you his phone number and everything . Reach out to this guy .

He is a true sage , full of wisdom and the best and biggest heart ever . So , wherever you guys are in the world , I hope you're having the best day ever and , as always , may the source be with you to infinity and beyond .
