So beautifully explained, athough part of a journey can not be convey in words, as those feelings, sensations are so unique, private, AND inexplicable as they only beeing to oneself. Grateful for the shared experience, thank you, and thank you for allowing yourself to make the shift, taking the quantum leap. Blessings 🙏🏻

Fascinating stuff, Andrew. Thanks for sharing. There's something to be said about the life-changing experiences being found in toad venom of all places. Its obscure and seemingly random location belies the order, peace and meaning that experience bestows. Or maybe the medium doesn't matter, only the message?

Thanks, man! I love how you put this. Wild that something so profound, so deeply healing, can come from a toad in the Sonoran desert. It almost feels like a cosmic joke.

And I think you’re onto something… maybe the medium is part of the message. Or at least, it challenges our ideas of where wisdom and meaning are “supposed” to come from.

Bro! Thanks so much for the Sacred Soldier info! I am a 100% disabled Coast Guard vet. My recent journey to the jungle was with Heroic Hearts Project.

Ok, your peeps are amazing! I hadn’t finished typing this response and they had already followed up with me.

Beautiful ❤️. It reminds me a lot of my Changa experience but my experience was in my bed room. I would have loved becoming one with the jungle. Maybe next time. 😎 Great article.

I sat with Buffo a year ago, and left my atheism behind. It was the most intense, spiritual experience of my life by far. How is Sapito different from Buffo?

Hell yeah, love that. Sapito is what they call Bufo in Mexico, since I was in Mexico for the ceremony, felt right to refer to it as Sapito.
