69. Can Psychedelics Wake You Up? An "Enlightened" Perspective from Frank Yang

This week on The Psychedelic Mom Michaela Carlin welcomes Frank Yang for an upbeat conversation about Frank’s remarkable journey out of suffering from bipolar disorder and sex addiction to achieving liberation through a shift into the ‘natural state’ of non-duality through psychedelics, meditation, and existential inquiry. Michaela and Frank dive deep into topics such as the paradox of “seeking” enlightenment, the nature of suffering, how conditioning can dissolve through working with psychedelics, and the emergence of a 'spiritual ego'. They also highlight the limitations of language in conveying non-dual concepts, the physicality of awakening, and shifts in relationships and perceptions post-enlightenment. For anyone seeking to understand the role psychedelics might play in the awakening process, this episode provides a nuanced view on ways in which they can be powerful tools for transformation and transcendence.
